Great Gift Ideas for Mother's Day!

Mother's Day is coming soon- in almost two weeks. If you're not sure what to get for a new mom, mom to be, or mom of a baby, toddler, teen, or even adult child, get them a copy of Love, Mommy: Writing Love Letters To Your Baby. I just received a beautiful comment from a reader who called it a jewel of a book, and that she bought it for her daughter who just had a baby. It really finishes off your Mother's Day gift, whether it's flowers, chocolates, perfume or a card. Wrap a ballet slipper pink ribbon around the book if it's a girl, a blue ribbon if it's a boy and away you go. I loved writing love letters to our children. I know you'll love writing them to yours!

Hope you have a perfect Mother's Day.

Embracing the New Midlife and Marianne Williamson

Anyone who is afraid of turning fffffffffffffff........well, you know what age I mean, only has to turn to Marianne Williamson's latest book Embracing the New Midlife. She is inspiring and elevates your spirit, with her cool, fun and easy take on aging gracefully and gratefully. I felt great after hearing her speak and so I was motivated to write this article for my regular Life Coaching Column. So take a look at the piece if you feel the need, by clicking on the title of this article. And if not, have a great day and enjoy your age whatever it may be!

Finding Your Purpose And Passion!

I recently did a television program in Canada called The Steven and Chris Show on CBC, (click on title of this article to see the video) all about moms going back to work and moms of all ages re-inventing themselves and finding their purpose and passion on this planet. One thing I know for sure, is that purpose always involves doing something you love, and using your unique gifts, talents and capabilities in order to serve others. I have never met anyone who was living in their purpose and "on purpose" in service to others who wasn't at their absolute best and happiest self. I just finished doing the most inspirational play with the most incredible cast of people. The play was Dreamgirls, and the best part for me was that all of these talented people were out there making their dreams come true. It's never too late to go for it and watching people shine in their light is truly "blissful" for me. So whether you're a new mom out there wanting to re-invent yourself, or you're a twentysomething searching for your purpose on this planet, or a thirty, forty or fiftysomething, approaching the new midlife, there is a way to do it like never before. If you click on the the title of this article Finding our Purpose and Passion, you can see the Steven and Chris episode on CBC all about Passion and Purpose.
Dreams with focus, energy and passion really do come true.
With love and in celebration of all that's possible,

Who saw Marianne Williamson in Toronto this weekend at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre?

I just went to a conference this weekend and one of the highlights was definitely the ethereal, benevolent, and very enlightened Marianne Williamson. She talked about prayer in a way I haven't heard before and made the notion of aging seem fun and light and even a little sexy if that's possible. I loved when she talked about the poem about the man resting his weary, aching bones and how she could never relate to that line until she got older and finally understood, and couldn't wait to get inside and rest her aching bones. There were so many moments and I can't wait to start reading her latest book, The Age of Miracles: Embracing the New Midlife. I also want to read her book Everyday Grace.
You can listen to her on Oprah and Friends every day and if you click on the link, you can catch some of the interview she did on Oprah. I'd love to hear your favourite moment from the conference. Or did you see Marianne Williamson somewhere else in the United States or Canada? What were the highlights for you? Would love to hear from you, especially moms who are in their forties, and are approaching that that miraculous age. What do you love about getting older?
