Happy Mother’s Day! How Moms Can Find Time for Themselves

Posted on May 10, 2013 by Administrator

Getting to Bliss starting today!

Motherhood is a rewarding thing. You can have a sense of fulfillment and experience feelings of joy as you take an active role in raising your children to be loving, responsible, and honest individuals. It is also fraught with its share of challenges. By the end of a day of non-stop action, you may very well be screaming for some real “me” time. Health psychologist Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, Ph.D., says that moms should have at least 15 to 20 minutes of “me” each day to decompress, then about once a week you need a longer block of time to get out and do something for yourself.

Here is an excerpt from my book posted on Essence.com.

Like any new mom-to-be, I was elated when I got pregnant with my first child at 39. At the time, I held a high-profile public relations job and just imagined myself being the chicest pregnant lady ever. But my doctor had another plan. She soon let me know I was high risk and had to be put on bed rest. Womp. I couldn’t believe it. I soon had to resign from my job. But while I may have suffered a few days of self-loathing, I decided to treat the diagnosis of bed rest as a time to create and discover a ‘brand new’ career and live the purposeful life I craved and deserved. Read the entire article on Essence.com and let me know your thoughts.

Thursday Thoughts: Scandal and Ringling Brothers Circus

Posted on March 21, 2013 by Administrator

Recently I took my children to Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey Circus at Nassau Coliseum (thanks to the PR agency) and watched all the children and adults (including self) experience an amazing breathtaking show for over 2 hours. What makes this circus special? It’s affordable, simple and fun. My family and I ate all the junk food we could digest (cotton candy, pretzel, popcorn, soda) and allowed the simplicity of life to take hold. Continue reading →

‘Brand’ Mom Motivation: A Dye Job

Posted on March 20, 2013 by Administrator

The power of hair color is no joke. It can make you feel empowered or simply old.

Recently I stopped coloring my hair to embrace my process of sexy and getting older; not to mention each application of gray was changing my hair texture and becoming more defiant. Perhaps, it did not want to dyed and who said that having gray hair at 46 is so bad? Continue reading →

‘Brand’ Mommy Time: Women are Not Men

Posted on March 11, 2013 by Administrator

Let’s kick off Monday afternoon with some real Mommy time talk.

What are your thoughts on privileged women talking about motherhood, balance and climbing the corporate ladder?

According to Marissa Mayer (Yahoo) and Sherry Sandberg (Facebook), we are selling selves short and can do more to win. True, but not that simple.

It’s real easy to offer advice when you have not walked in most women shoes.

Although I agree that women can have it all, I believe that happens in stages. Something will suffer eventually– perhaps your marriage, children, health, self-esteem or S-E-L-F. I’ve made short-term career sacrifices for the good of my team (family) and that was once a hard pill to swallow.

Women should not have to apologize for wanting to remix the manner in which they work and contribute to society. Women are not built like men and that’s okay.

BNM, what are your thoughts on remixing how we work and play this corporate game?

Valerie Harper: Class Act

Rhoda aka Valerie Harper rocked the head wrap back in the day

I still love love the Mary Tyler Moore show and all the spin-offs especially Rhoda.

Remember how fabulously stylish, classy, fearless, driven and funny Rhoda was? She rocked the movement then and now. The reason Rhoda was so authentic is because she was played by Valerie Harper — a truly fearless, driven, stylish, classy fighter and winner. #TeamValerieHarper BNM, has Valerie Harper’s brave outlook inspired you?
