High potential people

"Personality, creativity, energy, engagement, leadership, and even sales performance are all predicted by those you surround yourself with."
- Shawn Achor, Author of BIG POTENTIAL

Surround yourself with people that lift you up, are doing good things in the world and people who make you a better person just by being in their orb.

See the gal all the way to the right, beside me? That's my friend Nancy Moon, of Moon PR, a boutique Public Relations and Social Media Firm. She's also a very talented blogger, photographer, bee keeper and animal lover.

Nancy invited me to attend the PowerPlay Awards Gala honoring her good friend, CEO of Champion Women an organization that advocates for equality and accountability in sports, Nancy Hogshead-Makar J.D. (holding the bouquet of flowers).

Along with Jennifer Freeman, a New York lawyer who has a long history of representing survivors of child abuse and exploitation, Nancy Hogshead-Makar received the Advocacy Award at the event in New York City this past May.

When I'm in the presence of women who are so accomplished, it makes me feel like there's room for me to do a little bit more, in my own unique way.

As Happiness researcher and author Shawn Achor says in his book BIG POTENTIAL, connecting with high-potential people dramatically increases your likelihood of high-potential outcomes.

I'm excited for what the new season will bring and how I will use this inspiration to touch more women's lives... let me know who some of your high-potential people are and what they are inspiring you to do!

August Feelings

August has traditionally been a time of year that I've been in transition.

Literally and figuratively.

August has always usually been a time of moving home, or summer camp ending, leaving summer friends, summer jobs and the long lingering days of summer sun.

August sort of closes the chapter on summer.

Then in the summer of 1978 everything changed!

41 years ago this month I gave birth to my first son.

Not just a new chapter, but it was the beginning of an entirely new BOOK! A book I am still writing. The one about how it is to grow a baby and become a mother, a woman in the world, "with child" and now a grandmother, or as my granddaughter has named me, MyMamie!

There have been many moons since that first summer night I nursed my baby to back to sleep in our king size bed. Many, many moons.

Almost as many moves, changes and transitions in life, as moons. Well, not quite, but sometimes it feels like it...

Especially with the change in seasons, I am aware of being a part of nature. actually influenced by my surroundings, as Fall approaches there’s sort of “hunkering down to home” feeling in the air. Do you feel it too?

I appreciated that energy so much 41 years ago.

It is quite an appropriate time of year to snuggle in and burrow deep into the comfort and slower pace that Fall, and being a new mom, seems to bring on…

What about you? What are you feeling as these crisper cooler evenings approach us...
