As a woman who does not have children, I find that I often find myself observing the antics of teenage girls and their relationships with their parents.
One of my favorite teenage stories is the one in which my neighbor’s daughter blurts out to her friends: “If my mother were Martha Stewart, I’d know how to […]
Oprah, to me, has always been a light and an inspiration…but now she’s just off the charts, in my opinion.
Last night I watched her special on the opening of The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy For Girls.
Gosh, I’ve been following Oprah’s career and her interests since back in the Phil Donahue days of daytime tv.
She […]
Doesn’t it seem that when something is bothering us, we think we’re the only person on the planet experiencing whatever that hurdle is?
Weight gain, career issues, family issues (I KNOW my family is weirder than yours)…kids, husband, house…whatever it may be — we believe we are all alone.
And sometimes it’s not really a hurdle, as […]
As if office life here in New York isn’t competitive enough — everything you say and do gives your management an impression of what your value to the company is.
NOW, for gosh sake, you can add your meal selections and habits to that list.
Years ago, if you were on the managerial fast track, eating your […]
I know that know one is reading blogs at the moment…because they are probably asleep! How boring were these Oscars!

I’ve often alluded to my epic lack of education when it came to office politics
during my corporate days.
I never really accepted that political maneuvering was more important than hard work. Bad move and an extremely sophomoric thought process.
Even after a particularly nasty and mind-boggling political struggle with a manager — concluding with my […]
Yes, yes…this Sunday is the The 79th Oscar Awards. yaaaaawwwwn. I cannot bear awards shows.
My cynicism aside, we all know that Forrest Whitaker was brilliant in The Last King of Scotland and he’d better win or I’m never watching one of these shows again.
Even though Ellen is the host…I just think the […]
I am a big fan of sites that are dedicated to women entrepreneurs such as Ladies Who Launch and career development for women, such as my new fav:
Professional Diva: The career site for the stylish professional.
This is, for all intent and purpose, a job search tool…but with a panache that you will never see […]
I have a dear friend who is a single mother, a home owner, likes to travel and who has an extremely stressful and busy job.
Every minute of her day is accounted for, she barely sleeps, she worries constantly about her clients and her office colleagues.
I always thought of her as someone who went home at […]
I was thinking about Jim Carey’s new psychological thriller The Number 23
and just how silly spooky the idea is of a guy who becomes obsessed with a numeral.
I understand the movie is truly frightening…and let me tell you just how easily the number 23 showed up in my life today:
23 phone calls made to […]
I swear, some of the stories I hear about office politics are a clear reminder of why I left corporate America.
As we speak, in one large company here in New York, there is an espionage situation going on that would make a James Bond movie seem like The Care Bears.
A power struggle, complete with lying, […]
Hai or pig in Chinese, is the symbol of The 2007 Chinese New Year.
According to Chinese tradition, the pig is described as being a lucky and mild-mannered animal.
It eats and sleeps all day…how lucky is that!
People born in the Year of the Boar are honest and tolerant and make good friends, but tend to […]
Lordy has the entire world gone mad?
Britney shaves her head and looks like a trucker, Anna’s posse comes up with a will with holes big enough that you can drive a truck through.
This Anna Nicole Smith executor and guardian situation grisly alright.
Here’s a clue: Write a will! (and one that starts off “I being […]
It might seem apparent to readers of Blog Fabulous, that I am new to this form of communication, known as blogging.
I’ve learned quite a lot since I joined b5media.com, but I am such a neophyte compared to so many of my colleagues here.
To start and maintain a successful blog takes a ton of work. […]
Mother Nature has been teasing us into believing that “Global Warming” is just a big fib.
In many parts of the U.S., there have been blizzards, severe ice storms and temperatures so brutally cold that even my big Labrador is hiding from his daily walk.
There is no phrase more prosaic or bursting with hope than “Spring […]
