Understand Your Roles
How many hats do you wear? Well, not literally, of course. You hear that phrase all of the time. Wearing many hats. What that essentially means is that in life, we all have different roles that we play in different groups. If you don't consider those roles, it can cause you time management issues down the line.

Marriage
As the 10th of 12 children, my older brothers and sisters obviously got here many years before I did. Two of my older brothers and two of my older sisters had failed marriages. Since I was at the bottom of the production chain, my younger brother and I had the benefit of what my mother had observed and taught us. She pointed out that we should never date a girl more than once or twice if we discovered we would be unwilling to have her as the mother of our children and be unwilling to take her wherever we were and introduce her with pride to anyone. I listened intently to what my mother had to say. I chose carefully.
Coco Chanel Bio
The Coco Chanel bio is a story that begins far removed from the opulence that her name would later come to represent. Born in Saumur, France, in 1883, Gabrielle Bonheur ‘Coco’ Chanel was the illegitimate daughter of a shop girl – who would die soon after – and a traveling salesman – who would abandon his daughter on the streets of France. It was her two aunts, with whom she was sent to live, who would teach the young girl the etiquette that would come to shape the Coco Chanel bio.

Working Mom, Super Mom – Is There Really A Difference?
A working mother’s job never ends. She has two jobs, being a mother and being an employee making it difficult to be successful in either. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Working moms can have it all – a rewarding family life and a successful career, with less stress and guilt. Follow these steps.
Five Secrets to Creating a “Goal” Medal Life – Part II
Recently, Joy and I had the pleasure of speaking at a conference in Baltimore, MD. The other speakers included Ms. Deborah Phelps, mother of six-time gold medalist in the 2004 Summer Olympics swimmer Michael Phelps, and Agatha von Trapp, the 91-year-old daughter of Captain and Maria von Trapp, the family on which the movie “Sound of Music” was based. To say the least, there were a variety of subjects discussed that day. As I listened to Ms. Phelps describe Michael’s achievements, I realized that his story had many of the secrets of success mentioned in my September article, Five Secrets to Creating a ‘Goal’ Medal Life. Let’s go over these goal setting five secrets again and see how you can apply them.
It's Never Too Late for A Happy Life
When Nancy overheard her 5 year old daughter Shelby being asked what she ‘wants to be when she grew up’ she paused to listen to her daughter’s lengthy response. She knew the litany by heart. Shelby wanted to be a rock star, a firefighter, a doctor, a vet, and a writer when she grew up. When the asker responded that she couldn’t possibly be all of those things, Nancy laughed.

Get To Or Got To?
Every morning for several years, promptly at 10:00 a.m., a prominent business woman visited her mother in a nursing home. She was close to her mother and loved her very much.
Square Peg Round Hole
In his wonderful book The Element, Sir Ken Robinson tells a story that I’m sure many people can relate to. In it, a young girl named Gillian is having trouble concentrating at school. The school – suspecting a learning disability – asks her mother to take 8-year-old Gillian to see a psychiatrist for evaluation. After hearing from the girl’s mother how the girl is always disturbing her classmates, her homework is sloppy and always late – the doctor asks to speak with Gillian alone. Before escorting the mother outside for a private conference, the doctor turns on the radio in the room to occupy Gillian. As soon as the music began to play, the girl was on her feet. From outside the room, Gillian’s mother observed for a few minutes as she moved beautifully to the music, dancing around the room, lost in a childlike trance.
The Art of Negotiation Cotton Candy Style - 5 anytime, anywhere negotiation tips
Jim (my husband) and I took our 6 year old god-daughter (affectionately known as our goddess daughter) to a carnival recently. We are not parents and thought "How hard can this be?" She is old enough to have a really great time, and I think we can handle this, no problem. I mean, she's only 6!" In reflecting on the day (or what I can remember of it), I am reminded of a few keys for successfully negotiating in any situation, even with a 6 year old.
Mickey Mouse and Work Boots - Memories of My Father
Being a first-born child and only daughter I have to admit I was a little bit bossy when I was small. I really looked forward to leading my brothers home from school each day. We'd have a snack and then the three of us would watch the Mouseketeers while Mother cooked in the kitchen. Don't get me wrong, my Mom was a working Mother. She purposely chose a job as a school principal's secretary so that she could be home after school (when we arrived) and also during the summer. Before the ending of that popular song- you know it - M-I-C- (see you real soon) K-E-Y... (why? Because we love you)... you could hear the back screen door slam. In walked my Dad. He was home. It was an unspoken rule that turned into a ritual that when Dad walked in the door, everyone stopped what they were doing, and ran to greet and hug him. You see, my Dad dug d
Holes in Labour's Health-By-Stealth Line
At my 5th birthday party, my mother served up jelly mixed with grated carrot. I clearly remember one of my cousins being aghast at this perversion of a sacred dessert. He viewed it as an attempt to poison us by stealth. I did not notice the carrot until it was pointed out to me, so it was probably a tactic my mother repeatedly used to great success.
