An excerpt from the book...

The ability to advance your professional goals while maintaining your authenticity is an invaluable skill... Most people can walk into another's office, find out that they both play golf, and form a connection. Your goal is to walk into another's office, find out that you both hate how you look in golf shorts, and form a bond.

Don't waste another minute of your life focusing on your big butt! Embrace your vulnerabilities and conquer your dreams. This book will not tell you how to get rid of your big butt. It is not a weight loss book. It won't push you to act like your male counterparts so you can be successful. This book will teach you how to achieve success just by being yourself — big butt and all!

Lately I’ve heard too much of what people think I am. People from work, people from my past. I’ve heard enough. Their perception can be their opinion however I’m done with hearing it and I may just tell them so…the next time it starts

Words to live by!!

Empowering women, through words and actions

I’m honored to speak at the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey’s Young Women’s Division brunch Wednesday morning, not only for the chance to tell my story, but to help others write their own.

Your ticket will buy a fabulous brunch, a chance to network with some amazing young minds. In addition, we welcome you to bring gently used items such as handbags and jewelry, which will be donated to Career Wardrobe, which helps women obtain clothing, career skills and the confidence necessary to transition to work.

I Loved this Movie!

In The Guilt Trip, Barbra Streisand poignantly depicts the yearning of 60 something women for meaningful relationships with their adult children.   She hits too close to home in illustrating how much personal power we willingly relinquish in the desperate hope of receiving even morsels of validation. 

 We are ready to go to any lengths to fill the void of our own lives when we seek definition solely from the lives of our children.  We learn that despite the difficulty, we must eventually move forward and nurture other relationships and seek other purpose. 

Did you see it?  What did you think?  #60something women.

“There is no such thing as a “correct” weight for any particular height—they are only averages. And moi, who has a perfect figure, can tell you that the idea of going on a diet is not to become so thin that when you are at a party and turn sideways, people think you left early.”

Miss Piggy’s Guide to Life, 1981
