The devastating news of the death of L’Wren Scott has sent waves of shock and compassion through the worlds of fashion in New York and London. The loss of such a figure of grace, fun, and multidimensional talents seems incomprehensible. Always poised, always publicly reticent and privately considerate of her clients and friends, L’Wren was a self-made designer who was proud of building an independent business, which she kept scrupulously separate from her status as the girlfriend of Sir Mick Jagger. “I am doing this with my own money,” she said, on launching her own collection in 2006. “My life’s always been like that. It’s how I was raised.” – Vogue Magazine

A friend of mine forwarded me a recent article from the New York Times titled “Friends of a Certain Age.
Why Is It Hard to Make Friends Over 30?” The argument states that the period for making B.F.F.’s, the way you did in your teens or early 20s, is pretty much over. It’s time to resign yourself to “situational adult friends.”

Lordy, lordy, look who’s 40 today! That would be my husband. A very suiting Wordless Wednesday to showcase this very special man on his special day.

And another Wordless Wednesday: Today is also the 25th birthday of the World Wide Web! Happy Birthday WWW dot!

I was thrilled to be able to showcase 5 exceptional women on Global TV this week who have and are paving the way for others. These five trailblazing and inspiring women make me want to up my game, and truly make a difference.

Hi Girls! I’m baaaack!!!!! Dropped the kids off at school at 7:45 am, and did a little Pharrell HAPPY dance. If you’re not a mom, this could sound selfish, but if you’re a dedicated mother, you know that after 9 days off with the kids, BACK TO SCHOOL can come as a welcomed little gift.

The week off was wonderful. We skied, we ate, we relaxed, we watched movies, we slept. But for today, I wanted to show you an episode of The Quantum Success show. In the fall, I was a guest on New York Times bestseller Christy Whitman’s web show, and my episode aired today. Since I left you last week with the challenge of ‘getting off the fence,’ today I wanted to share the tips and tools needed for all perched fence-sitters. In this episode, I go into detail about the process of getting unstuck, and chasing your goals.
