What’s on your to done list? Yep, your to done list.

Have lots of time on your hands?  More than enough resources to do what you want to do?  Do you regularly feel in charge, competent, controlled? Is relaxed your middle name? Yes?  Then please send me the name of the deserted island you’re living on. No?  Then welcome to the rest of the world. Fifth […]

Scratch to do lists. What’s on your not to do list?

  Chances are if I ask what’s on your to-do list you’ll be able to pull 1 (or 10) out of your Blackberry, IPhone, daytimer and/or nightstand.  Or out of your brain matter if you’re not the scribing type.  Chances are your list is long.  Chances are it weighs you down. What about lightening the […]

The ‘to-continue’ lists of some very interesting folk

Wondering what this year will bring to your door?  Wondering which paths to embark on and which to pass? Based on a series of posts I did last year on my to-do, to continue doing, to stop doing, not to do, to-done, and to’odle lists, this year I thought I’d ask which particular paths a […]

An older woman who dares sounds a lot like a fantastic trainer

A post by my new friend Sam made me think about how the qualities of an older woman who dares are similar to the qualities of a trainer who dares (indented parallel bits are mine, the rest is Sam’s). An older woman who dares A trainer who dares Is eager to explore the unknown. Is […]

A trainer’s tale of a Social Media Halloween grab bag

While much of the planet is now accessible via social media it still feels like a Halloween grab bag.  You remember the kind when you were a kid?  You’d reach into a dark space, touch something (usually spaghetti masquerading as brains) and you’d have to figure out what it was. That’s what social media can […]
