About me -

Personal growth is a topic I have studied for years and the arena is broad enough to cover everything from the very practical to the spiritual.  This gives me a lot of leeway.

Excuse me when I veer off topic.  I feel all of life – even the small stuff  – and the funny is connected to personal growth.

Also, since I am a lady “of a certain age,” I have been around the block a few times, made lots of mistakes, had some lucky successes and may have a few ideas to share with you.  Your feedback in your comments is extremely important to me and to my readers.  Don’t be afraid to disagree.  You have valuable information others need to hear. Don’t be shy.

My late husband, Julius, used to throw this barb at me when he was mad.

“You read all these self-improvement books and you have NOT IMPROVED!”

Listen, Julius, wherever you are, I want you to know I am still  trying!

I think we all are.

Some miscellaneous background:

I have traveled several life paths – from travel agency owner, to sales trainer, author, lecturer, life coach, media coach, TV host – and  blogger.

I’m the author of three books, Low Pain Threshold, Love Waits on Welcome . . . and other miracles and Reflections from a Woman Alone. My books also include poetry so you will find some included on my blog.

In my business incarnation, I was one of the first women in the country to be invited into Rotary International (Do you remember when the Supreme Court said they could not keep women out?)

Then after a stint as one of the first women to be a chairperson of a Chamber of Commerce in the United States, I was asked to be president of a chapter of The American Cancer Society.  I was in charge of a couple of their smoke-outs – and I smoke.  They ignored it.  As long as I did the work.

In recent years, my focus has shifted to the area of personal growth and human potential.  I conducted a spiritual self esteem class for male inmates at Cook County Jail for two years.  Smartest men I ever met.

Then for five years I volunteered to run a program to rehabilitate prostitutes, in conjunction with Genesis House and the Cook County Court system in Chicago.  It was the first one of its kind in the country and was featured on BBC.  See my articles on this program, under “Prostitution Rehab.”

I was the host of a weekly cable TV program starting from 1991 on Chicago Access and then produced and hosted over 400 shows for Wisdom Television, which was later sold.  My show aired every weekday on DISH, Comcast and AT&T throughout the country from 1997 until recently.  I was disappointed the new owners did not continue my series but someone made me feel better when they said, “You were on longer than Seinfeld!”

I mean, who hires a middle aged woman to do a national show unless she is Barbara Walters?  I am proof that you can reinvent yourself as you go along.

Among the personalities I have interviewed are Deepak Chopra, James Redfield, Joan Borysenko, Robert Bly, Mark Victor Hansen, Marianne Williamson, John Gray, Jean Houston, Les Brown, Wayne Dyer, Andrew Weil, Judith Viorst, Carolyn Myss, Neale Donald Walsch, Judith Orloff and Thomas Moore.  All of Oprah’s people!  Speaking of her people, I even interviewed her gorgeous partner, Stedman Graham, who was a gracious guest and a talented author.

My newest enterprise is media coaching.  I had a great coach and after more than 400 shows, I did learn quite a bit.  If you are on Internet Radio or are interested in video blogging or podcasting, I might have something to offer you.

So, wish me luck.  And come visit me often.  I’m on a roll.
