You are Not Your Disease

by Barbara B. Appelbaum 22. February 2012 06:00
If you or someone you know has an illness, do you (or they) feel as if people treat them like their disease? Recently there was a great article about Ann Romney who, like me, has Multiple Sclerosis. Aside from her husband’s politics, the article is filled with hope, admiration and energy. She define... [More]

Stressed Out This Holiday Season?

by Barbara B. Appelbaum 14. December 2011 07:00
The holidays are supposed to be about being grateful, taking time off from work and relaxing with family. The reality is that can be far from the truth. Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s you have more to do, increased year-end deadlines at work, people to see, places to go, etc. There’s a lot of p... [More]

Victimization

by Barbara B. Appelbaum 7. December 2011 11:52
Do you behave as a victim? What makes you do that? Some of us are natural-born fighters. No matter what gets us down, we get back up. Some of us aren’t like that. We tend to wear our problems on our sleeves and feed off of other people’s sympathies. Without it, we can’t move forward. Yet, as a victi... [More]

Reinvent Myself?

by Barbara B. Appelbaum 28. September 2011 08:00
Lately I’ve heard a lot of talk about Baby Boomers needing to reinvent themselves. What does that mean exactly? If you are not happy with the direction your life has gone, does that mean you need to “reinvent yourself” and completely change who you are? That sounds like a lot of work and frankly, a ... [More]

Be True to You!

by Barbara B. Appelbaum 21. September 2011 07:09
Have you heard the old saying, “Fake it ‘til you make it?” Well, sometimes “faking” it takes more energy than being authentic. Take time to evaluate what it is you’re doing. Decide whether or not it’s really allowing you to be true to you. Once you’ve made that conclusion, you can move forward authe... [More]

Never Forget

by Barbara B. Appelbaum 14. September 2011 07:00
They say that when we re-live tragedy, even years later, stress takes the same toll on our bodies and souls. However, if we forget, what was the point of sacrifices made on our behalf? With the memorials for 9-11 this past weekend taking place around the world, it is apparent that we will never forg... [More]

"Hell Hath No Fury as a Woman Scorned"

by Barbara B. Appelbaum 31. August 2011 07:00
William Shakespeare said it all in this one sentence.  This week part of our nation got slammed by Mother Nature. She must have been “scorned” over something as Hurricane Irene pummeled the East Coast with all her might. It was tragic seeing all the damage she left in her path of destruction ye... [More]

What Do You Want?

by Barbara B. Appelbaum 22. June 2011 07:00
Have you ever been asked, “What do you want?” I’ve been asked that question all my life with regard to something as simple as choosing a location for dinner to something as complex as choosing a career. The only problem that used to occur is that I had no idea what I wanted because whenever I was as... [More]
