Whose Midlife Crisis, Is It?

The phrase “midlife crisis” for many brings to mind clichéd images of men quitting their unfulfilling jobs and leaving their wives to ride off into the sunset with younger women in their shiny new sports cars. Since the term was first coined, in 1965, by Elliot Jacques, much attention has been paid to this psychological […]

Grandmother of Invention

A New York Times article on “mompreneurs” caught my attention the other day. The article featured moms who searched everywhere for a product to solve a particular problem or fill a need only to realize that there was nothing out there—so they invented it. Realizing that they can’t be the only ones searching for a […]

There’s No Turning Back: Awakening the Slumbering Ingénue

“Oh no, I can’t be a visionary with so many wrinkles!” implores a disbelieving 48-year old elegant mother of two and top executive. She expresses her angst over dreaming about getting old.

Out from the Shadows: Cronework for the New Millennium

She cackles and crows, her sounds call to me. Sounds that vibrate within. I feel a quickening that pierces my soles, moves up from my toes, through my spine into my pelvis. I am a cauldron of fire, the vapors spreading within. I am moved to dance, to swirl. As I turn in a dervish […]

Don’t Be Fooled

This phrase caught my eye: “Meaningful Beauty.” It’s appealing, isn’t it? Who isn’t drawn by both beauty and meaning? The combination of the two was tantalizing, promising substance, a look at beauty that was beyond skin deep—which only made the actual content of the email all the more ironic. It was an ad for Cindy Crawford’s […]

The Puppet Master is Powerful

Women tend to have the blessing and the curse of being invisible, especially as we approach 50 and beyond. The negative side of being invisible is the world no longer seems to notice or care about us or what we have to say—if they ever did in the first place. We seem to lose our voice […]

The Catch 22 Truth Telling

We can generally agree that telling the truth is the right thing to do in most situations. Yet often we hold back, saying what we think others want to hear, or simply holding back an opinion or idea when we suspect it won’t be well received.
