Ever had an "aha" moment? One of those moments where something happens and you react the same exact way your mother does? Well in the past week I've been in a journey of re-discovery. I'm working on transforming the relationship I've always had with my mother and her husband… Read More »

Mothers are the strangest creatures God
created. They hold the fetus for nine months in their wombs,
carrying him around all the time. They feel awful the first few
months, yet they say nothing. They quit smoking, eating or drinking
things they always loved. For nine months, they cannot have any… Read More »

I am not a religious person. In fact, I’m not sure I even believe in god. Growing up, my religious education was diverse, to say the least: Native American ceremonies with my dad, singing in the Episcopal church choir with one friend, celebrating Passover with another. As an adult, I learned…

Forget about father-son businesses; although that’s the model still ingrained in the American psyche. Mother-daughter businesses are the new black. I have no idea how they do it; honestly, most women I know have such complicated relationships with their mothers without having to worry about ordering, restocking and bookkeeping, it’s a miracle they still talk at all.

Whenever a big-box chain store threatens to move in to our neighborhood, we tend to rally around the tiny mom-and-pop store that we’ve been shopping at for years. We love mom-and-pop- run businesses — they make up more than 80 percent of the nation’s companies. And although we often see them through rose-colored glasses as the cozy diner on Main Street or the quaint B&B somewhere in Maine, many are Fortune 500 corporations.

Those in the know tell me that all the electronic applications I’m filing are useless.
A highly successful financier told me he could have a stack of 100 applications on his desk, placed there by the HR department in response to an ad, and if one of his staffers popped his head in the guy’s office and said, “You should interview my buddy Jim; he’d be great in that job,” Jim will not only get an interview, he’ll have the edge on being hired. “What’s going to carry more weight with me,” my friend asked rhetorically. “The 100 strangers in the stack, or the proven quantity recommended to me by a person I trust?”
Makes sense. My problem is I don’t seem to have a network to nudge.

Compassion literally means to feel with, to suffer with. Everyone is capable of compassion, and yet everyone tends to avoid it because it's uncomfortable. And the avoidance produces psychic numbing -- resistance to experiencing our pain for the world and other beings.
