    One of the wisest end-of-the-year practices that has always served me well is to make a list of my successes from that year before creating my goals or resolutions for the new year.  We rarely take the time to celebrate and savor all we've accomplished before moving on to the next thing on our eternal "to do" list. Right now, I encourage you to think of three 2011 successes.  Make...

    It began in mid-September as people peacefully gathered in a park near New York City's Wall Street to  protest government corruption and ineffectiveness, mass unemployment, the growing chasm of the haves and have nots,  and the impunity of  financial industry greed that triggered the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.  Like in the movie "Network," they were "mad as hell...

      I've always enjoyed the earthy wisdom of Benjamin Franklin, founding father, statesman, inventor, business owner and the man who adorns our hundred dollar bill. After reading "Ben Franklin: America's Original Entrepreneur," I shared his list of 13 virtues in my Working with Wisdom enewsletter. Here are some of the "aha's!" that I think deserve reflection. Some are common sense reminders...

    After completely cleaning out the clutter of my clothes closet earlier this year, I'm still pondering the lessons learned: Forgiveness - "What was I thinking when I bought THAT?" Acceptance - I fit into those size 6 pants for 15 minutes last year and will never be there again. Letting Go - One giant trash bag of someone else's treasures went to Good Will. I took a few select business clothes...

    Do you generally see the glass half full and the opportunities in perceived disappointments? Then you, my friend, just might be an optimist. If you tend to focus on worse-case scenarios and let fear and lack run the show, then you are most likely a pessimist--or what you might simply call a realist.

    Reminding People How Wise They Are So They Can Enjoy Work and Life Since I was a child writing for my elementary school newspaper, I've always been fascinated by the simplicity and power of haiku. I recently reconnected with this five-seven-five syllable poetry in a conversation with my clever colleague and conscious connector Emile Paradis of RPM Advisors and The Referral Institute. That inspired...

Pick the ones that resonate with you and allow those to guide the wise choices you make every day.

    Last week, while my 16-year-old twins, Connor and Allyson, and I were enjoying my birthday lunch, we started talking about The Ten Commandments. Not exactly a typical conversation with teenagers. You see, I grew up Catholic and had learned those divine rules, along with the names of the nine planets and the Seven Dwarves, at a very early age. I brought my kids up in the Unity church and realized...
