Coming of Age at 62 – Different Ways To View Resistance
I hate, abhor, and despise attending anything that is labeled as a networking event. People only seem to talk about what they “do”, in other words, their work. There doesn’t seem to be room for learning more about the person; for making a real connection. Yet, what is the purpose of these networking events? To [...]

What Does A Taxi Driver Have To Do With Getting What You Want In Life?
On Tuesday I was heading to an Arlington Connections meeting. I didn’t want to go, I dread networking functions even if I’m good at them. I was following the directions I had written down but something didn’t jibe. So I went around the block to try coming at the intersection again, thinking perhaps I’d missed [...]

Day 21 Coming Of Age At 62 | Feel Good About Not Doing What You Felt Like Doing
I arose early in the morning yesterday even though I didn’t feel like it. I took a walk yesterday even though I didn’t feel like it. I made some calls I’ve been avoiding even though I STILL didn’t feel like making them. I wrote a sales page even though I felt like taking a nap [...]

Confidence Chronicles Interview: Amy Oscar, Story Alchemist & Soul Caller
It was one of my very lucky days, probably close to two years ago now, that I found Amy Oscar and her beautiful blog on-line. Today I call her a friend but we’ve never (yet) met in-person. I’d also call her an inspiration and one of my teachers. I hope you enjoy reading this interview [...]

Day 6 – Coming Of Age At 62 – A Mo(u)rning Struggle
Mornings haven’t been good lately. I struggle, emotionally, to get moving. I don’t want to get out of bed, so I stay there longer than I normally would. When I do get up, I wander, feeling powerless to do the list of things I want to accomplish. I have no idea what this malaise is [...]

Day 5 – Coming Of Age At 62 | Multi-Generational Perspectives
Kate and Corrie. Two women I’ve grown older with over the past decade, who I had a visit from yesterday. I can hardly believe in less than a year they’ll turn 30 years old. Kate and Corrie were friends of my older son Seth. Kate lived with our family for a year when she was [...]

Day 4 – Coming of Age at 62 | Forgiveness & Vulnerability
I allowed my “Coming of Age (COA) at 62″ writing-every-day ritual to get a bit mucked up last week. My not feeling well combined with the drive from VA to PA; my son & family visiting; and being out of any sort of routine set me back. I need to be precise here if I’m [...]

Day 3 – Coming Of Age At 62
The rattle is powerful. It brings almost instant meditation and creates a changed state for me that is more powerful than traditional meditation. I’ve always had a hard time sitting and meditating. I get agitated rather than relaxed. People tell me if I just keep practicing I’ll “get there” - beyond an agitated state and [...]

Interview: Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter | Confidence Chronicles Series
I met Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter on Twitter (@valueintowords). I quickly learned that she was bright, knowledgeable, friendly and supportive. How could I not follow her? Then I learned thousands of people follow Jacqui – she’s listed on many “Best People to Follow on Twitter” lists for jobseekers. You see, Jacqui is one of only 27 Master [...]

Hey Moms – Do You Let Your Thoughts Become Facts?
Mother’s Day began with expectations, progressed to negative assumptions, and ended with joy. It was a breezy, sunny morning. My favorite kind of day. I love to feel the wind massage different parts of my body and the sons sun warm my soul. In case my Freudian slip wasn’t obvious, this is a story about [...]
