Smart Women Live A Proactive Life

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Yesterday, as I was on my way to pick up my kids from school, it occurred 10-08-09sailingto me that I was feeling exhausted—I mean really tired. As I made a mental scan of my day, I realized that I had been in a “reactive” mode most of the day rather than a “proactive” mode. We do need to react to situations that occur in our lives as best we can at that moment, however, Smart Women know that living a “proactive” life where you plan, prepare, and practice conscious living is clearly more rewarding.

Living a “reactive” life can be exhausting and frustrating. There are a lot of quick stops and fast starts–most of them unplanned. The best way for me to describe my day was it felt like I was in a ship without a rudder. No direction, just floating out in a big sea of confusion. No real direction, just reacting to each wave. There was no planned course or clear navigation. I was just trying to keep this rudderless boat afloat and get back to shore.

In contrast, when you are living a “proactive” life, your days are on course with clear navigation, doing things that will lead you to your Big Ideas, Dreams, and Goals. Being “proactive” about your life is being conscious and thoughtful about how you spend your days. You are queen of your ship, with a well thought out map on where you’re going, what you’re going to do, and with whom you will do it.

Hello From Utah!

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Hey Smart Women!  I’m writing to you this week from Park City, Utah.  I had08-06-09Note forgotten just how beautiful and peaceful this cozy mountain is!  It’s exactly where I need to be right now.

Everyone in our family has something fun they enjoy doing here. Jenna is loving her skateboard camp. Her teacher is a “yo-dude” that moves at the pace of molasses when he’s not on his skateboard. But when he gets on that skateboard, you better get up and get outta the way! He moves like lightning on the “board!”

Yesterday, I met with smart woman, Patti Kerr here in Park City. Patti and I have been working together for awhile by phone (she lives on the East Coast) and she decided to come out West and meet with me to keep moving her Big Ideas forward. Patti is currently working on developing her business and writing a book, “I Love You, Who Are You? Loving and Caring for a Parent with Alzheimers.” She is taking action on the work that she loves and feels passionate about.

Birthday parties, Baseball Camp and Ali

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Hey Smart Women—how are you?  I’ve had a busy few weeks with lots of connection to family and friends.  We celebrated my father-in-law’s 82nd birthday this past weekend…  I played tennis with him, and I have to say, he’s in great shape.  His secret to staying healthy?  “Everything in moderation.”

The kids are having fun catching up with friends and going to a few camps.  07-23-09CampRaoulThis week they’re at UCLA Baseball camp.  You walk into the Jackie Robinson stadium and feel overwhelmed by the size and magic of it all.  The kids are really enjoying being in that space playing a sport they love.  Secretly, I wish I were there myself!

Last night, I had a “date night” with my 8-year-old son, Jack.  When we got in the car to leave the house, he looked at me and said, “Mom, I can tell this is going to be a great night!”  We went to a restaurant in Santa Monica that has wall-to-wall flat screen TV’s where you can watch just about any sport that holds your interest.  Of course, we watched the Dodgers play against the Cincinnati Reds.  Hamburger for Jack, salad for me.  As we left the restaurant, he even held my hand, which rarely happens anymore since he’s a “big boy” now.  This is what it’s all about…

I’ve got some exciting news to share with you:  A few weeks ago, I was selected from more than 100 people to become a Platinum Mastermind Leader for Ali International, LLC.  Ali International has qualified to be considered for the Inc. 500 list as one of  the fastest growing companies in 2009.  Ali Brown, www.AliBrown.com,  has created a multi-million dollar enterprise and has been one of my coaches over the last few years.  I’m honored  to be chosen as a Mastermind Leader for her company.
