My trip last month was fantastic- quality-fun time with Jess who lives in London and Ariel, who flew in from Madrid to be with us (they took a few vacation days.) And Mark sometimes- Jess’s British husband. My first time flying alone to Europe since college- a landmark! and all girl talk/shopping/eating/fun Brit TV/ pubs and no schedule! And pajama parties and a show!
Highly recommended!

62 degree weather in November in Long Island, NY today~ not working and promised to do something good-fun with Steve. Perfect~we went kayaking in Hewlett Bay-
And, there was an amazing duck-geese in flight display- they were going back and across in what seemed hundreds-thousands? beautiful and surreal patterns, layering each other into 3 dimensional screens- I wonder if they fly south anymore- are confused by the weather and/or fed too well in the many ponds and canals in the area..

Yes, it’s been a while…
So! I ,lopve this season as all NY’er’s do..we call it Indian Summer..so special becau7se we have perfect “early” summer weather- warm days, cool nights, after whatever summer has been..not so terrific in the NE.
The new movie, based on a children’s book- one that I read out loud all the time: “Cloudy with a chance of meatballs” is fabulous!
Before it’s time-for sure- and we all us Baby Boomers are happy to see it revived:)

Living in Long Island, New York in summer is a gift. Nature is in our backyards, the parks and along the shores. I’ve been grateful to have the time, stamina and physical ability, as well as a husband/best friend to go kayaking with in peaceful Hewlett Bay-Harbor. As we navigated through high tide this morning, a meaningful excerpt from a book I’ve been reading came back at me:
Everything that you have ever asked for is downstream, where you can easily find it, experience it, possess it, or live it.
The Astonishing Power of Emotions
Esther and Jerry Hicks (The Teachings of Abraham)
My bird watching was then accompanied by strains of the Beatles singing “…turn off your mind, relax and float downstream…”, from Tomorrow Never Knows.
Ah, taking meditative time in nature during the summer is something I look forward to. It is my hope that you may experience the joy and power of being outdoors, in stillness or in movement, wherever you reside.

This is a Girl Scout jingle from my youth. The 2nd line is “one is silver and the other gold.”
I had a meet-up with 2 high school buddies- one whom I was best friends starting in 2nd grade and lived around the corner. We parted ways during college and young motherhood and are back together few times a year and always in each other’s minds and hearts.
The Girl Scout motto is : “Be Prepared”. Wow! that’s certainly held up through the years-
From having supplies in case of disaster to back-up plans for many areas in life. So, please share- I’d luv to hear!

I’m often asked how I manage to be so active and visible and still have a life. LOL. Yes, balance is important and a daily challenge. It’s been said that nothing in the universe is balanced anyway… it’s all organized chaos. If that’s the case (or not) what we need to do is design a lifestyle and career that best matches our intrinsic motivations.(ie: Be passionate about what you do. Yes, you have choices…) Well, I’m so passionate about coaching – speaking-and facilitating that it fits my preferences to a tee that I have an abundance of energy. Of course, self-care is vital too! I recently came across this wonderful Scottish Proverb: “It’s only work if you’d rather be doing something else.” Of course, there is a time-place-season for everything. Turn-turn-turn…
Inner strength and being centered are keys to life and business success! Specializing in work-life balance, stress reduction management, and career issues, I help improve people’s ability to access the power already within them to bring about the balance needed to achieve their goals. Balance brings power to the process of decision-making! You will want to be a part of my incredible life changing stress management seminars! http://www.balanceandpower.com/stressmanagement.com/php
With a background that includes innovative training, speaking, coaching, fitness-dance and Biofeedback, I offer individuals and groups mind/body modalities integrated with traditional coaching and training strategies to facilitate success. Contact me for a Comlimentary Consultation via telephone: 516 623 4353 eileen@balanceandpower.com http://www.balanceandpower.com/events.php for upcoming events.
