Saturday, August 30th, 2008I just watched Apollo 13 yesterday for the first time. What struck me was not only the human drama of the three astronauts desperately trying to get back to earth, but the story of how a series of seemingly impossible events happened one after the other. They seem to have begun in the fact that [...]
Nine lives – all used up
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008I just wanted to honor my wonderful little cat of eighteen years who passed away last night. This is Annie. I adopted her from a shelter when she was still a kitten. She was a lap kitty and was my adoring and adored companion. She is already greatly missed.
John Assaraf – You can’t have it all
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008When I read your book, Having it All – I believed the premise. I believed that I could have it all. Your story seemed genuine, your instructions for how I too could have it all were clear and easy to follow. It was obvious that those methods worked and you Had it All. So, I [...]
go for the gold
Monday, August 25th, 2008Olympics – Opening ceremonies – kind of cool. By the time the closing ceremonies rolled around I wasn’t interested in watching them. I was awed by the mastery of some of the competitors – the gymnasts, the swimmers – I saw years of practice rippling in every muscle of their being. They were truly inspiring [...]
Are you making history or herstory?
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008The title of this post doesn’t really make any sense until you read further. Consider that you are the director of your own life story and that it will be published in a book someday. Whose life are you living for that book – yours or your husbands, wifes, mothers, third grade teachers, the list [...]
I’m not a cheater – or am I??
Saturday, August 16th, 2008Are you a cheater? You think – No, Lee Ann – I’m an honest person, I would never cheat anyone out of anything. ok. I say you’re kidding yourself. Why the hell would I say that? Heck, I’m kidding myself when I say I’m not a cheater. And, this is how I’ve been living for [...]
Warning: Magic trick revealed below
Friday, August 15th, 2008When I see a great magic trick – I get a tingle. It’s awesome. I am just in awe of the skill it took to make me see something that couldn’t be happening – or could it? It’s that moment of sheer wonder that gives me that tingle. There have been a few times when [...]
Stick it!
Thursday, August 14th, 2008If you say that to an Olympic gymnast – they’ll appreciate it. It means that they want their dismount landing to be flawless. But, if I say that to you (unless you’re a gymnast) - I’m rude. Our language can be confusing. My takeaway? Make sure in all your communication you’re saying the right things [...]
Got mentor?
Thursday, August 14th, 2008I now have a mentor of sorts – David Neagle. I’m in his monthly mentoring program and I couldn’t be more excited. Well, actually that’s a silly thing to say – of course I could get more excited – especially when there’s ice cream involved, if that makes me sound silly, oh well. What I [...]
Unconditional Olympic Love
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008When it comes to rooting for Olympians – they truly get my unconditional love. I find myself rooting for people I’ve never seen before just because they’re from the country I live in. How’s that for a strong belief? I don’t care if the other athletes are nicer people, better athletes, have cooler uniforms or [...]
