Traveling down Boulevard Zen

When Rich Tola left the world of Wall Street and real estate for the world of Hollywood, he couldn’t have foreseen the detour down Boulevard Zen. In today’s Game Plan, read the story of the foundation that has become his passion: A Business Mind, a Zen Spirit.

Breaking through

Thoroughly enjoyed NBC’s new show, Breakthrough with Tony Robbins, last night and as a life coach felt compelled to express why. Hence, today’s Game Plan column: ‘Breakthrough’ Is a Winner.

What a kick to see Joe Del Priore’s book on Amazon! We used to be in a writing group together. Check out Twilight People: Switchblade Stories for a taste of what Joe can do with turn of phrase and imagination.

Maffy’s goodies

Thrilled to have a Mary Ann Farley piece in my home and thought my readers might like to take a gander at what this fab artist is producing these days. Check out her store on Etsy!

I continue to be delighted by the feedback I’m getting on my Game Plan column, Gold Digging Is Alive and Well. Must share some nuggets from people who took the time to write:

We are conditioned by so much in our lives to believe that a woman, any woman, only cares about the size of our bank account and the type of car we drive. We, the good normal guys who still think women should be cherished, watch from the sidelines as the high rollers break hearts left and right or the woman of our dreams doesn’t give us the time of day for all those reasons you listed and more … I’m not sure I’m your target reader but you’ve found a fan. Thanks …

Wow you have restored some of that faith in women being … human(e) and decent, not low class garbage … But not since Paglia have I heard a female rise up to a level as you have … Now unfortunately for you I am married, but you keep your levels up there as water does seek its own level and a man of your caliber is out there.

Thank you for writing your gold digging article, I enjoyed it.  It is good to see there actually are some non-gold digger gals like you still out there.

Gold digging is alive & well

Not real fond of the gold digging mentality, so when I was watching VH1’s Undateable recently and heard a horrific comment by Bethenny Frankel of The Real Housewives of New York City and Bethenny Getting Married? I did a full-body cringe. The Tiger Woods divorce settlement rumblings only contributed to my shuddering.

Parenting and ‘growing up’

Last week’s New York Magazine cover story about parenting set off a firestorm of comments on its Web site and got me thinking about the ways we grow as people.

Life coaching Mel Gibson

By now, even if you’re not a news junkie you’ve probably managed to get an earful of Mel Gibson’s rants to his ex-girlfriend courtesy of RadarOnline.com. I feel compelled to do my part.
