What if underneath all the things we do every day, the words we say, the clothes we wear, the challenges we face, the pains we carry, the choices we make … there really exists a deeper self? And what if that deeper self doesn’t have a color, or a status, or a race, or a
Memories and Thanks
Forty years ago, at age 16, I took my first trip to Europe to visit my aunt, uncle and cousin. My Detroit-born aunt and uncle had gone to Paris on a bicycle trip in the early 60’s and well, they never returned to live in the States. A few years after I was born, they
Ancient Wisdom
My son Jimmy was reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (a Roman Emperor from the first century – yes I had to look that up). I laughed that MA’s ideas from nearly 2000 years ago are still so true today and much of why we’re creating Six Minutes Daily. Then, as I was writing this week’s
View From the Balcony
Each Tuesday morning at 7:30am, I have a 45 minute check-in with three lifelong friends around navigating the next chapter of life. We all met as we were just beginning our parenthood journey. We all have similar professional backgrounds in consulting, business and teaching, and we are now all creating our next chapters without the
Waking up On Time
Earlier this week, I was having a conversation with a wise and respected friend who’s participated in some of my workshops. “Can I ask you something about Six Minutes Daily?” he said. “Of course,” I replied. He looked at me directly, “why are you doing this? You ask all of us developing entrepreneurs to answer
The Six Minutes Daily App is Ready!
So, this leadership app we’ve been birthing for the past nine months seems to be in a place that is worthy of giving you a sneak peek and seeing what works and how to make it better. Thank you for your patience, and for giving us the courage to inhale, exhale, and give gratitude for
Tidying up Your Life
This morning I reached for my little French press and small coffee grinder from my cabinet shelf, as is my morning ritual. First as I pulled them out, and later when I put them back, I was highly aware of the small space they were squished into (even though I use them almost every morning).
Marvelous Night for a Moondance
Earlier this week, we were treated to the October Hunter’s Moon. I was in my own busy world, oblivious to the fact, until I was driving to a meeting. Through some magic, I was in the right place at the right time to witness the moon rising. I stopped, pulled over and snapped this picture.
Remember, You Have Unlimited Potential
I think of myself as a climber, albeit a very baby climber. You know the kind that if it’s at all steep or with any exposure, I want to be tied to a rope with lots of anchors in the rock in case I slip. And even then, my hands sweat.
Love Doesn’t Tell Time
What a six months it’s been since I wrote my first Six Minutes Daily blog! It feels like I’ve been to more graduations, reunions, weddings, life changing events of the older generation and friend-focused adventures than ever before. You probably have too. It has been a time of intense reflection, family challenges and business ups
Expanding the Definition of Success
Last weekend, I went backpacking with three lifelong friends who come to the Tetons each year for a few days of fun, friendship and mountain climbing, even if our hair is turning grey. While we failed to meet our goal, we realized that success is not so linear, even though we often hold it as so.
No Matter What the Weather
Last week Jackson Hole got its first glimpse of winter – cold rain/snow in the mountains and some freezing temperatures at night. And then, summer returned with days in the mid 70s. It reminded me how much we can’t control in our lives. All we know is that change comes whether it’s the weather, relationships,
