Once Upon A Time: The LPL Story

Image
The LPL 2022 Mission: Getting You In Front Of to 20-50,000 of your optimal clients, in a Targeted Heart Centered Way Our Ladies Power Lunch group started from humble beginnings. I had left the warm embrace of corporate and entered into the world of being a small business owner. I very quickly became disillusioned with the traditional ways that people suggested for networking, and so I invited a group of six heart-centered women in business to have lunch with me at a Ruby Tuesday on Route 6 in Bristol, Connecticut. When women get together something magical happens. They tap into a wisdom that we have known for millennia and they support each other, not because they expect to get something in return but because they are women, they are there, and they can. At the table on that first day it was a true power lunch! Connections were made, support was given, we laughed, we cried and then we decided that this had to be a part of our lives going forward. It was just too valuable to be a one

BE THE BEACON QUIZ

  CLICK HERE>>TO TAKE THE QUIZ If you are reading this, chances are you are a woman in business who feels as though the work she does is her calling. It's more than just a job, more than just a paycheck, it is a passion. This is  a true gift, and here's why: Many people ended up doing the job they do, day in and day out, by default. They are on the hamster wheel of life getting up in the morning taking care of home things, going to work reacting to work stressors, then back home in the evening to get ready to do it all over again.  For those of you who decided not to live your life by default, you may have discovered that you have a special talent. You have something that you are particularly good at that lends itself to your passion. You have built your life or are building your life around that ideal. Those of you who identify with this living and working your passion or heading in that direction in your lives, then you are the definition of a BEACON. You are in a speci

Ramblings from the Chrysalis: What if you could live your optimal life?

  The other day I had a little bit of a quandary. I got into office was changing into my scrubs and realized that my last pair of scrub bottoms, the draw string had receded back into the waistband of the pants. This was not a problem I had ever experienced before: New problem right? I changed back into my sweats and then engaged in mental gymnastics that would have made Einstein be impressed, as to how I was going to get the string back out. I tried quite a few ways to make it work none were successful. Now for those of you who are reading this who are seamstresses you know the answer to this quandary, but for me, forever the tomboy, the little girl who had always rebelled against anything to do with sewing or any such,  truly believe me I had no idea whatsoever. After trying a few failed attempts, I finally decided that I was going to have to get a pair of scissors, rip off the waistband and find the errant end. My plan was cut short by a simple conversation with Sandy. For those of y

Ramblings from the chrysalis: Mastering your money mindset

 In my honest opinion, life is all about evolution and all about just growing and changing. Learning new things, failing, learning, succeeding learning, having experiences, learning... You get the point right? Did I mention learning? One of my favorite things about our LPL group is diversity. There are women, and a few source led men. There are older entrepreneurs, retirees, people just starting out, veterans in the work world, corporate leaders, people thinking about making the jump from corporate. All sorts of perspectives, orientations, races, classes, colors and creeds. My favorite thing is that we are all here and we are all committed to working together because we get it. We understand that for this life to truly deliver its best promises, moving ahead on our own steam will only take us so far, we get it that the richness of the diversity that is available within the collective that is LPL can serve as the most amazing catalyst for life, for evolution and for learning. All this c

I think I might have fallen in love with him...?

Have you ever thought deeply about the Amazon algorithm? It is constantly finding new things for me to consume, but how does the algorithm even understand a person like me? How can it blend my love for comedy, personal development and sci-fi? It can, and it does. T oday I got in from work and was trying to unwind by reading an obscure Kindle book from the sci-fi/ comedy/ existentialism category, and was happily laughing my behind off! I love this author! She is just like me. We have the exact same sense of humor. The writing is irreverent, written in first person the way I tend to write and I feel like we are having a conversation every time I pick up one of her books. The truth is, every time this author drops a new book, I’m on the waiting list- I am officially a fan. But there was a time in my life when I didn’t even know this author existed. We found each other because her book was a best seller. I read the one book, another and another and before I knew it I was down a fandom rabb

Why Don't You Write Something?

I wasn't an only child but there were times in my childhood when it felt that way. I was the younger daughter. There were quite a few years between me and my older sister and that was compounded by the fact that early on she went off to boarding school. I was too young and I stayed home. I'm not sure but I think that was a thing back then. Any whoooo, I spent my early days being a really avid Barbie fan, climbing the many trees in our yard, reading voraciously, and writing little stories. My imagination was a fertile plot and some of my earliest memories include me sitting in the crook of my favorite tree, Barbie beside me, spinning some fantasy only creatable from the mind of a child. In school I excelled in English, and even was at some point awarded the English prize. I truly enjoyed writing. I never thought writing would be a career path that I would follow, it certainly was not encouraged. From an early age I was set along the path to be a Physician or a Scientist or somet
