Almost three decades of my life had passed before I discovered the power of passions. If I hadn’t become severely depressed as an Emergency Medicine resident, desperate to find some other way of earning income, who knows how much longer it would have taken. Luckily I was forced to figure out this piece of life. I can’t imagine myself, my life (and even my income) without the delicious pursuits that my search uncovered.

For years I used to have whole grain cereal with soy milk and mixed berries for breakfast. It was pretty good as breakfasts go – fiber, protein, lots of antioxidants from the berries, pretty low-glycemic too (i.e. it kept blood sugar levels nice and steady, much better than a more sugary cereal or toast with jam which cause a burst of insulin release). Recently though, after attending a conference by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, I’ve decided to eat more of a “Paleo” type diet and eliminated most grains – including the cereal I’d loved for years - from my diet. This was huge!

*a special guest post by Christine Awram of WOW (Woman of Worth) Events*
Christine is the epitome of a woman who has achieved success through celebrating and empowering other women. When I was just starting to fully step into my calling, Christine heard about me from a television producer I was working with. Without even having seen me speak, she took a gamble based on gut instinct and put me on stage at her flagship event in front of 1000 women. I got my first big standing ovation of my career, and four years later I'm still being invited to speak at events and being given other fantastic opportunities, because of the exposure I got that day. Christine has supported and promoted my work ever since. She really knows women, understands leadership and living big, and lives what she preaches.

I keynoted at a conference a few weeks ago. As usual, as the date approached I felt the pressure intensify. It’s much better than when I first started public speaking years ago. For my very first paid speech, which was in front of several hundred people, I shook for the three months leading up to it – some days when I got really worked up it was actually a challenge to hold a pen!

Few things make me happier than getting an email from someone who has read my book, Live a Life You Love: 7 Steps to a Healthier, Happier, More Passionate You , and is writing to tell me how it transformed their life.
The other day I received a highly unusual version of this kind of email: a woman writing to tell me about her friend, a reader in North Carolina.

I love wine. I’ve never been a big drinker and usually wouldn’t have more than one or two glasses with dinner, but I really adore the way it tastes and makes me feel after the first few sips. Yet as much as I love it, I’ve deliberately avoided the habit of having it at home with dinner, first because even though I’m not a big drinker, I have an addictive personality (not officially diagnosed, yet the nature of my relationship to chocolate cake doesn’t leave much room for debate), and second because my mother had an aggressive form of breast cancer in her forties.

I wrote this post at the end of a rather harrowing day. I spend time in New York regularly and am always sad to leave. That day I had to say goodbye to my beloved city yet again, so based on that alone, the day wasn’t off to a good start. I also love sleep, and was up late the night before with my sister and godson in Brooklyn, so you can imagine how thrilled I was (not) to get up at 4:30 am for my flight.

I was recently at a mind-boggling conference put on by the American Academy for Anti-Aging Medicine. Before and after going, I found that the reaction I would get from people when they heard about this would either be: a) “Oh my gosh you have to tell me everything you learned!” or b) they’d make a face or cringe, assuming that the conference was full of youth-obsessed experts talking about the latest cosmetic surgery techniques.

A few weeks ago I attended a presentation in New York on a yummy topic: "Do It For Love AND Money." Deanna Zandt was one of the speakers, and she emphasized the importance of reading Steven Pressfield's classic book, The War of Art.

I used to think that to join the green smoothie gang you needed to buy a super fancy zillion dollar juicer or ultra-special blender (like the legendary VitaMix - some women I know are more excited about potentially owning this machine than they are about shoes, crazy). Not so! All this time I could have been enjoying the benefits of this super easy super-nutrient-packed energy drink using my $20 cheapo blender. If I'd only known!
