Dearest Anne
First published in 1947 and then translated into more than seventy languages, Anne Frank’s diary has been known worldwide for many decades. We all have heard of it. But honestly, I never felt compelled to read it, imagining there might be more hype and political importance than an actual good book.

The Best Boss I’ve Ever Had, etc.
A recent interview I had had some interesting questions: Have you ever had an amazing boss, mentor or leader leading you? Can you give us a story or anecdote that helps illustrate why this person was such a great leader and the impact they had on you or their team? Training and knowledge matter, of…

Being Authentic
Some think being authentic is not telling lies, being good, doing the right things, the good things – the good-girl, good-boy syndrome. We have been programmed to think in those terms. But where does that concept of being a good girl, being a good boy really come from? It may just come from other people…

Journeys or Destinations
In my childhood, I dreamed that when I grew up, I would marry a train conductor, so I could, in my imagination, travel for free! I shared this dream with my sister and a close friend. The friend said she had a feeling, that in the future more people would be flying to travel. I…

Saving Her from Drowning
A new client today asked me, before leaving the office, “Do you always use the same words in your sessions?” After seeing a puzzled look on my face, he explained, “I mean, you used the word God a few times in our session.” As far as I could recall, I said the word God because…

I Eat Vegetables. I’m Not a Vegetarian
Kathy told me that she just left another job–or, more accurately, was let go by another employer. As I listened to her talk of her problems, her words came out as fast as her footsteps. I asked her, trying to slow her down, “What would you like to work on through hypnotherapy?”

I am Master
Master Prayer – Grant me the serenity, to allow the things I am choosing; the courage, to release the things that are not mine; and the wisdom, to know the difference.

Coming Out of Life
I breathe in the fragrance of my herbs and flowers. I planted them. Miracle grew them. And now I am grown by them. They are my teachers, as everyone and everything is my teacher. Between two big rocks, there can be very limited soil, so limited that the eyes cannot see, but a tiny little…
