“Let’s clean up the mess before we die” is the most concise and
energizing way to say that we got one more chance to make a difference
for a better world. But how can we clean up, in the next few decades, a
“mess” produced by the millennia of scarcity, humans treating one
another less than equals, unnecessary suffering caused by unwise social
systems? Whether we can or can’t, our best bet is[ Read More]

I've
been thinking about why I'm not generating the kind of passion and
purpose that I have had in the past. What occurred to me is that when I
was younger, my ‘work’ or the cause I was working for was something
that I was attached to. I mean ‘attached to’ in the sense that my point
of view at the time seemed to be ‘the’ way or ‘the’ truth and, with all
the energy and confidence of youth, I charged the barricades and felt
empowered and inspired by the certainty that I was on the ‘side of the
angels’ and a new world was coming.[ Read More]

I
was working on the design of a course the other day and musing about
what would someone in my circumstances want to ‘get’ from a workshop
about ‘designing the rest of my life’. When I began to think about it,
I realized I’m happy and okay financially. I have lots of friends and
family and experience lots of love. I am still engaged in my career and
have numerous outlets for my creative impulses. All in all, I can’t
think of much that I want that I don’t have or couldn’t easily acquire.
But the one thing that did occur to me is that I would like to have the
kind of passion I felt in the ‘70s when we were crusading for civil
rights, campaigning for peace, and bringing down those who supported
the war in Viet Nam. It was the kind of passion I saw again in Chicago
as Obama became our president elect.[ Read More]

Last year's announcement that actress Demi Moore wed young actor
Ashton Kutcher hardly raised an eyebrow, as it would have twenty, or
even ten, years ago. Hollywood celebrities often lead the way when it
comes to national trends, and one trend is becoming increasingly
obvious: women over forty no longer consider themselves “over the hill”. Whether the rest of the world is on board is a matter of personal
attitude. It's not about trying to sex it up for some 30-year-old ad
executive. That would be a misplaced, maybe even desperate, intention.
It's about how we perceive and authentically present ourselves that
makes a person alluring. We all know those ageless women who walk into
a room and capture it—no matter where their breasts land. And there's a
big difference between being alluring and being outright sexy. The
latter is a bit more of a challenge for me. [ Read More]

As I continue to follow my passion, helping people ‘feel’ beautiful,
I’ve come to notice that beauty and self-image are one and the same.
The journey to real beauty is an interesting path of self-appreciation. Many
women and men ask for my help to ‘look’ more beautiful. These
individuals have often felt a prompting to change their behavior, even
more so than their look. They are beginning to see the possibilities in
themselves and just need a little encouragement to ‘be’ themselves, to
fully express who they are. Whether they receive an image make-over as
a gift or whether they ‘gift’ themselves, the inspiration usually comes
from a desire to discover their own inner beauty (as well as maximize
what they’ve been given).[ Read More]
