After Mother's Day - How are you doing?

Posted on May 11, 2010 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

Mother's Day is a beautiful day both.  It is a day to bask in our accomplishments as moms and to allow others to let us know how we have impacted their lives.  Whether your children are school age and love serving you breakfast in bed (I miss those days with the toast crumbs all around me) or if your children are grown and gone from the house the memories of your family can be so special. 

All Mother's have regrets.  There is always something that we could have done differently, should have done differently or would have done differently under different circumstances.  Regardless of what we wish we could change, the fruits of our labour (literally) are in front of us.  This past Mother's Day I felt quite melancholy.  All three of my children are moving on in their lives and I get less time with them.  There have been Mother's Days in the past that for me were not very pleasant, with words spoken and unspoken that did not relay the love and respect that was important at the time.  This is water under the bridge - the knowing that regardless of what happened then, I have the beautiful knowledge of how things are today. 

I have recorded a video of my After Mother's Day musings.  Please let me know your thoughts.  Take care and I will blog with you later.

Executive Women Having it All - What is the truth?

Posted on April 23, 2010 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

I would love your help. 
I am in the process of developing more “in the moment” tools for busy executive women to reduce their stress and feel better NOW. I also am working on a book to be written for the top executive woman who wants to “have it all” in her life. To that end, I would love your thoughts about the following!
 

How are you doing – really? Are you excited about where your life is going? Do you feel “at peace” with who you are and what you have accomplished so far?

 For the past 35 years, through my work as a nurse, workshop facilitator, life coach and stress management expert I have had the privilege of working with thousands of individuals (primarily women) in helping them find the answers to these questions honestly. It has been an amazing journey.

7 Reasons to Change Only One Habit at a Time

3 Ways to "Go Back to School" Differently

Posted on September 2, 2009 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

As the children head back to school after a long summer off many parents welcome the change.  However, with this change comes the need to get back into the routine. There are dance classes, hockey practices, piano lessons, as well as the need for time for homework, getting to bed earlier, making healthy lunches, healthy dinners, and somehow in the midst of everything creating some quality family time.To top it all off, our work environments also pick up speed in September. Most people are back to work after summer vacation and the workplace hums with new ideas, projects, additional workload and other things. Are you ready for the change? How do you want this school year to be for your children? How do you want this time to be for you? Creating the balance you want can be challenging. All of these demands can lead to stress on the family,  on you and your relationships.
