Have you ever said yes to someone, and then instantly regretted it? You felt like when you gave away that "yes" it stripped away a part of your soul that you could never recover again? I may sound a tad soap opera-ish, but some "yes's" do have serious, enduring consequences.

Plastic Surgery: Sculpting the body sculpting the mind

Little Goals Big Results: The Art of Small

Many people want it all now. Not me. I want a slow drip so I can acclimate. I need time to adjust to any changes. I'd probably drop dead if I won the lottery. If I were suddenly super sleek and thin I wouldn't know who I was. I wouldn't recognize myself. Who is that person in the mirror with all those bones sticking out?

Mindfulness Through Aikido & Tea Ceremony

When Sachiko Knappman conducted her first Japanese tea ceremony she prepared tea for herself when she was ready to serve it.

Mind Body Meltdown—Aikido Test Nerves

I'm a verbal person and Aikido is virtually a silent art minus the chant or kiais (relaxed and powerful exhalation that coordinates breath with ki or energy during strikes or throws). I'm used to talking when I'm nervous so I can dissipate the excess energy and get to a place of calm. There isn't an opportunity for this in Aikido. Your body does the talking. Period.

Stiletto Spy School: Discovering Your Inner Bond Girl

Just when I've eschewed my Jimmy Choo's I read about Stiletto Spy School for Women. http://www.stilettospyschool.com/ Power has always been sexy -- for men. But when a woman is called powerful it's often code for Bitch. When you combine sexy with power you get the potent combustion of a femme fatale, a woman who is feared and desired. Men may even relish being controlled by her while conspiring to take her down. Think Angelina Jolie in the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith and the current film Salt. Of course, unlike most of us, Angelina Jolie, is sexy in sneakers.

Serving Size Lies: A big bag of chips?

I hate serving size lies. Food manufacturers may think that their suggestions are sensible. Perhaps they are... for people who nibble, taste or sample. But these guidelines don't make sense for people who actually eat.

Plastic Surgery: Sculpting the body sculpting the mind

My house is spanking clean today. My Brazilian cleaners are as fastidious about creating a meticulous house as they are about creating a perfectly sculpted body. First "Julia" got her nose done. For months every time she cleaned she complained to me that her nose was too fat and round. She wanted a leaner line. So she set up an appointment with a plastic surgeon specializing in noses.

Reclaiming Feminine Values in the Workplace

Women often believe that they must act like men to succeed. They scramble up the corporate ladder by copying traditional male behavior. Although it sometimes buys them temporary "success", most of the time, on a deeper level, it doesn't work. They frequently find themselves dissatisfied, restless, and ultimately unfulfilled.
