7 Ways to Save Money on Clothing
Autumn is officially upon us and once again we New Englanders find ourselves pulling out last year’s sweaters and boots and squeezing them into our closet full of summer clothing, which we are not yet ready to put away.

Do you Keep Clothes that Don’t Fit?
The American culture may consider skinny healthy and beautiful, but that is not always true. In my experience, “skinny” was better described “sickly” or “drawn.” My struggle with weight was always in keeping it. After reaching forty, however, it became easy to keep meat on my bones, but, even then, weight-loss wasn’t a challenge. When my clothes got too…

The Mature Classic Woman
By definition, anything classic is the definitive, authoritative, long-lasting example. A Classic wardrobe is exactly that– at least for the professional look–just think of how long the blazer has been in vogue. If you have a lot of “proper pieces” (fitted jackets and skirts, button down blouses, slacks, basically: business attire) in your closet and…

A Mother is Only as Happy as Her Most Miserable Child.
The moment a woman becomes a mother, her life changes. The very thought of life within her alters her existence. Caring for, nurturing and meeting the needs of her child becomes her purpose and priority. With the cry of his arrival, her needs no longer bear weight compared to his. Whether it’s the dark of night or the…

Do you Have a Powerful Presence?
Some women enter a room and command attention. Sometimes we are offended by this (as we talked about last week). Since we are all in search of significance, demanding attention and interrupting others is quite rude. But commanding attention and demanding it are two different things. There is one thing that has humbled me in my profession more than…

3 Ways Women Seek Significance
They say there are two types of women in the world: the ones who walk into a room and say, “Here I am!” the ones who walk into a room and say, “Oh, there you are!” Of course we would all prefer to be the second type, but in reality, most of us are not.…
