Women in leadership can make big impact, what that means locally was exciting to learn. In honor of International Woman’s Day, I will highlight the exciting change a few of our local leaders are creating. My friend Dr, Kinga Mnich, who started Ziva Voices* with the goal of amplifying woman’s stories worldwide, hosted a forum […]
The Importance Of Recognition
Recognition is important, despite any cynicism you may have about awards. Yes, there can be politics, an unhealthy focus on winning, and others can be left out. Yet, it still serves an important function. Lee received the Life Time Achievement Award from the Lexington Music Awards this year. It’s the fourth year he’s been honored […]
Finding The Leading Edge Of Change
The leading edge of change is where I like to stay, but invariably I need a push to get there at times. Right now, I’m working on a grant for our non-profit, GreenRoom Exchange, which is forcing me to look at things that aren’t easy to face. I’m having to find and define the leading […]
Passion – Bringing Your Imagination Into Reality
When you follow your passion, you’re taking what is internally important to you and making it real. It is a rite of passage you take if you want to bring what you love into the world. It’s a heartfelt journey that takes work. I watched this as Lee hosted a concert to take a CD […]

We want things quickly and become impatient with the process. But I’m seeing how necessary perseverance is if you want something important. My friend, Dr. Kinga Mnich, […]
Is It Time For A Cathartic Awakening?
On Lee’s birthday, he had a cathartic awakening. He realized he needs to take himself and his talent seriously and do a course correction. I’ve had it happen several times too, and it has always produced profound change. This type of awakening is the cathartic jolt that makes you wake up and get moving, often […]
Staying Present – While Worrying About The Future
If you are trying to stay present, while worrying about the future, you have probably noticed that it’s not possible. You cannot be in two places at once! I’m addressing this pattern with several people and decided to write about it. This time of year, many of us are planning things to come – going […]
Finding Inspiration.. The Spark Of Change
Inspiration swirls around you, even if you aren’t looking for it, or needing it, especially when you’re open to change. I was in NYC for a music conference with Lee Carroll and Alioune Guisse, where inspiration flowed from a firehose, so much so, you couldn’t take it all in. But if you were open and […]

With unlimited options, getting clear on the choices that represent what is best for you becomes important. If you are like me with many demands on […]
