By Marianne Clyde I learned a lot this weekend at our Supernova Summit. We had women over 50, as usual, but we also had students. We had financial specialists, and non profit workers; we had executives and school teachers. We had authors and coaches and builders and architects. Urban planners and insurance salespeople. There were nurse practitioners and realtors. Wellness advocates and...
By Marianne Clyde Sometimes it feels like my emotions grab the controls of my life and things seem to come to a screeching halt. Has that ever happened to you? Taking time to examine and pay attention is the simple answer. Just like a child having a tantrum, our feelings just need to be acknowledged, recognized and comforted. The child inside just needs to be heard; and you, as the adult, are...
by Marianne Clyde Are people around you discouraging your dream? Do they tell you that your idea is too big? That no one cares about your dream? That is no reason to get discouraged. However it is a reason to recognize that those opinions are "just information." Those comments are important for you to hear to help guide you where you need to go. If the people you surround yourself are people who...
By Marianne Clyde No one likes to feel trapped, confined, stuck without choices. Think for a minute how that feels. We've probably all felt that way one time or another. Or many times. Perhaps you are feeling that way now: in an unsatisfying relationship; in a dead end job; financially with more bills at the end of the month than money. Did you know that you actually have control of all that? If...
By Marianne Clyde Determining the way you feel in any given situation is a vital element of your internal GPS system. YOU are the one that must determine how you want to feel, how your day is going to go, how you plan to navigate your life. Just like when you use the GPS system on your car. YOU set the direction before you even leave your house. YOU determine where and how you want to go and...
By Marianne Clyde Do you ever wonder what is the most important thing you can do to have a happy life? It’s actually pretty simple. Easy? Maybe not so much. It’s this. Learn to accept total responsibility for everything in your life. Of course things happen that you don’t expect. Of course people can act in a way that’s not optimal. Of course there are circumstances beyond your immediate...
By Marianne Clyde If you’re feeling a little down today, thinking nothing is happening in your life. Feeling frustrated and insecure about whether or not your prayers or manifestations will ever become reality…this is important for you to know. They already ARE reality. Reality is not just everything you see. Reality is also in your imagination. Your brain doesn’t know the difference. What you...
By Marianne Clyde What was your first reaction to that title? Yeah, right! Baloney. "Really, where is it, then?" Or was there a glimmer of hope that it might be true? Well it IS true. There is a benevolent force in the universe that loves you, wants you to be happy, and created you to be a co-creator with it. You are one with this force of love and joy and wisdom. At your core, you are...
By Eileen Gould (Guest blogger) As I welcome the start of 2024, I can’t help but think back on 2023 and everything thatunfolded in the last 365 days running my interior design firm, Eileen Gould Design &Construction. It was quite a year filled with ups and downs. I worked with many newclients on home renovation projects – some turned into rewarding long-termpartnerships while, unfortunately,...
by Marianne Clyde Oh my God! I will be 70 in 2 days! How does that happen? Suddenly, it seems like time is short. There's more urgency to my life. I'm actually done with a few types of behaviors that always seemed proper or necessary. Now I recognize how important it is to ask the question: Who decided these behaviors were proper or necessary? Other people. What other people? Well I probably...
