#79 National Ex-Spouse Day Learn to Forgive Them & Move On

April 14, 2022 20:28 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

Greetings Lifers, I just learned that today is National Ex-Spouse Day. Breaking up is truly one of life's hardest things to do, especially when you're head over heels for the person, or you've dedicated so much time and energy into the relationship then it abruptly or slowly decays and ends. If you've never had a heart-wrenching breakup then thank the good Lord above. Did you know that the National Today Data Science Team surveyed 230 previously married Americans about their exes and f...

February 02, 2022 15:45 - 10 minutes - 9.75 MB

Happy Day My Lovely Lifers, When you were a kid in school, or, possibly even recently, have you ever felt awkward when you raised your hand in class to ask the teacher a question? You might've thought "the kids are going to make fun of me with this question". I know only too well. I'm a big question asker and I found that by asking them over the years, I was truly able to attain what they were talking about and maybe even have dove a bit deeper than anticipated. Or, I might've asked que...

June 18, 2021 08:16 - 4 minutes - 3.6 MB

Welcome Lifers, Today is National Splurge Day.  What's yours going to be?  Can I just say, I think this day may just become my new favorite day of the year.   I think sometimes we feel we shouldn't indulge or say “splurge” on ourselves.  That we should do for others instead, well that's fine and dandy, but you do deserve a splurge on yourself from time-to-time.   Whatever your indulgence, today is the day to do it. Now you may not be able to jet off and take that yacht on the French Rivi...

#72 Happy National Crayon Day

April 01, 2021 01:18 - 14 minutes - 20.4 MB

Greetings Lifers, Today's National Crayon Day so I thought it would be appropriate to ask which is your favorite color crayon?  Did you play with crayon's as a child?  I loved coloring in books for many years as a kid, did you? I want you to be child-like today and have some fun.  Take out your kid's box of crayons, or some colored pencils, pens and go to town.  Doodle, draw, sketch.  Do something fun and feel like a kid again. I'd love to see what you did so DM me over on Instagram @Dawn...

March 19, 2021 01:30 - 15 minutes - 12.7 MB

Hello Beautiful Lifers, Have you ever gone shopping for makeup whether at a department store counter, or, at a CVS, only to go home, try it on and think to yourself "what was I thinking?".   Makeup colors can be very tricky, as a professional makeup artist, I've been studying color and in particular, makeup colors and which looks best on which skin tone.  But, one thing, I found is that all makeup is NOT created equal.  Nor, are the treatment products. Today I will cover how to find the r...

March 18, 2021 20:30 - 15 minutes - 12.7 MB

Hello Beautiful Lifers, Have you ever gone shopping for makeup whether at a department store counter, or, at a CVS, only to go home, try it on and think to yourself "what was I thinking?".   Makeup colors can be very tricky, as a professional makeup artist, I've been studying color and in particular, makeup colors and which looks best on which skin tone.  But, one thing, I found is that all makeup is NOT created equal.  Nor, are the treatment products.

January 05, 2021 00:21 - 19 minutes - 14.8 MB

Happy New Year my Lifers! I hope you had a great New Year's Eve. Aren't you excited about having a new beginning? Last year was a train wreck and we've learned so much from it. Hopefully 2021 will get us back up and running like before the Pandemic and we can reclaim our lives.   The other day was #National Sleep-In Day and I thought about how sometimes I get hit with insomnia and it's not so easy to sleep at all for that fact.

#69 - When is Enough - Enough? Time to Take Back Your Life For Yourself!!

November 06, 2020 08:15 - 23 minutes - 18.3 MB

Happy New Year my Lifers! I hope you are ready to kick-off a new year and reach your desires and goals. Do you find that you take on more than you want?  Do you say to yourself that you "never have time to decompress and relax?"  I get it, sometimes it's hard for us to say "NO".  It's taken me years to learn how to put up some boundaries, but, I have to say, once I did, it made such a big difference in my life (for the better).  I want this for you as well.

Hello my Lifers, I hope you are doing great!  As the last week of summer rolls out and as Fall rolls in, are you ready to find ways to relax during this glorious time of the year?   One of the most exciting times for me as a kid was to getting ready to go back to school.  I loved picking out school supplies and a new fall wardrobe.  I always felt that the Fall time was my New Year.  Do you feel this way too?

With everything going on right now we are in a state of chaos and upheaval we have never witnessed before.  It's difficult when we don't know what to expect next.  We definitely have had a lot of unwanted stress thrown upon us, yet, we need to stay clear and focused during these times more than ever before.  I'm sure some of you out there might be going through some extra unwanted emotions, anxiety, fear, but, as you know, these emotions are poison to our well being.  So, how can we take...

#61 Need Answers?

April 07, 2020 00:08 - 4 minutes - 7.24 MB

Greetings my Lifers, Today's episode is a short reminder that when things are bogging us down we should not walk with our heads down, but, rather walk with our heads up and from time-to-time take a look up into the sky for answers to some of our biggest, burning questions. After I took a fall into a sinkhole back in 1998, I was forever walking through the streets of NYC looking down at the ground as I traveled from block to block.  I wanted to make sure I didn't hit any cracks, bumps or ...

#60 Are You Craving Sugar?

March 09, 2020 21:23 - 11 minutes - 8.51 MB

We are what we eat, that's what they say right?  But, do you believe it?  One of the things I found that helped keep me calm and in a better mood is to get moving more and eat better.  We need to find ways to keep our stressors down and to find alternate ways of reducing stress or ways to balance our body, mind, and spirit which I believe is key to us living happier lives.  Today's episode is about a couple of quick ways to help preserve them.    Do you crave sugar?  Who doesn't love sugar...

#59 Do You Celebrate Your Wins?

February 14, 2020 01:54 - 16 minutes - 12.6 MB

We always talk about the importance of setting goals and the importance of writing them down and having them on our to-do lists, but, just as important, do you acknowledge them when you reach the goal?   A few years ago, I learned the importance of not only setting our goals but, also keeping a separate journal where you can actually acknowledge those achievements on the important things we set out to do for ourselves, whether it was a personal or a business thing.  Do you keep an acknow...

#58 It's Never Too Late To Finish What You Start?

February 01, 2020 00:09 - 12 minutes - 8.96 MB

When I was younger I had a problem with not finishing what I began.  If it didn't hold my attention I'd drop it and move onto the next exciting, shiny thing.  Has this ever happened to you? As I got a bit older and wiser, I learned that this wasn't a good thing.  And, the more books I read on self-improvement and personal empowerment, they'd all have a similar perspective on this topic.  I decided I would take a stab at it.  I picked one thing and began from start to finish.  Once I did ...

#56 What Are Your Intentions for 2020?

January 09, 2020 20:30 - 9 minutes - 7.6 MB

Don't you just love the feeling of a fresh start?  Well, that's what ringing in a new year means to all of us. Its a time for a reflection.  A time for us to gather our thoughts and make some new decisions that we can use to make our upcoming year a better, bigger, and, bolder one. I was at the Oprah 2020 Vision Tour in Ft. Lauderdale last weekend, and, boy, oh boy was I totally pumped up after that.  It was so much fun, and very inspirational.   One of the topics that Oprah discussed wa...

#53 It's Fight Procrastination Day - Let's Freakin' Beat It

September 06, 2019 17:05 - 7 minutes - 5.84 MB

Are you one for procrastinating?  It was one of my bad character traits until I finally tried to get a grip on it.  If you're one for procrastinating, today may be the excuse you need to kick yourself in the pants and get moving on something you've been holding off on doing.   Maybe you're looking to get physically fit and begin working out again or maybe it's as simple as cleaning out the basement or the garage.  Even though it may not be that simple, you can simply begin by taking the ...

#52 Are You Smart or Are You Wise?

September 04, 2019 21:19 - 15 minutes - 11.9 MB

I was listening to a Joyce Meyer sermon a few weeks ago and she was talking about the difference between being smart and being wise.  I thought I should cover it on the show because I feel a lot of us are smart, but, not necessarily wise.  Nor, do we all use our god given gift of intuition.   I cover a couple of scenarios in today's podcast and I'm also linking up Episode #002 with Jennifer Cassetta who is the queen of martial arts where she discusses the importance of awareness.  So be ...

August 20, 2019 06:07 - 4 minutes - 6.12 MB

We are all in such rush these days.  Do you take time to eat breakfast or do you snack on a power bar and think you're good?     I used to skip breakfasts all the time until I began working 16-18 hour days, I found it was really important to start the day off the right way with the protein and energy we need to sustain our days.   What is your breakfast ritual?  Let me know in the comments.   This is a quick episode to remind you to add a little bit of luxury (on a beer and pretzels ...

When was the last time you went on a hunt to find the newest and latest posh hotel that's opened up in your city?  Or, for that fact, just took some time on a weekend to explore a neighboring town?   You don't have to travel far these days to feel like you're on "vacation".  Plan a Summer Staycation right in your own backyard.     Today's episode covers just that, so grab your earbuds and take a listen.  Summer's almost over so you better get moving quickly before it's gone.   Ex...

#048 If You Were an Ice Cream Flavor, Which One Would You Be?

March 20, 2019 23:01 - 11 minutes - 8.12 MB

Happy Spring to you!!  I bet you are so excited to finally shed all of those winter clothes once and for all, get some light-weight clothing on, stare at the beautiful blooming flowers and dip your toes into the green grass. I was walking down the frozen section of the supermarket the other day and I had to pass my weakness (ice cream) and while looking at all of the wonderful flavors that are out there today, it made me think, "if I could be an ice cream flavor which one would I be?"  I h...

#047 - Do You Care About What You Wear?

January 08, 2019 01:17 - 9 minutes - 8.96 MB

Today's episode is a quick reminder that it's important to look your best.  This, in turn, will help you feel your best.   Do you care about what you wear or do you just throw on anything that pops up at you in your closet?   I hope you think about what you wear.  Remember, today, you only have about 30 seconds to make a good impression and what you put on your body is a true reflection of that.  Make yours a lasting impression (a good one that is).     Do your clothing choices r...

#045 Challenge - Live Luxuriously for One Week!

December 03, 2018 21:02 - 9 minutes - 8.63 MB

Today I will cover how you can challenge yourself and add some luxury to your life for one entire week (on a beer and pretzels budget).   When I refer to luxury, it isn't necessarily about something that costs a ton of money, rather they're more about necessities. These days, I believe we take everything for granted.  Think about how difficult it was back in the day just to heat up the house, take a bath, wash clothes or even have light in your room so that you could read a book at nig...

#43 Never Give Up Your Power!

October 30, 2018 21:30 - 5 minutes - 5.04 MB

Today's episode covers the importance of keeping your power.  I'm not referring to mystical or magical power, but, rather the power of this thing called YOUR LIFE! You may not realize it, but, when you give up your power to something or someone, you wind up losing a piece of yourself in the process. What do I mean by this?  Well, have you ever had someone in your life take over your time? Stop you from doing the things you love? Or, they have you doing something that might be wreaking ha...

#042 Nat'l Estate Planning Week is Here

October 22, 2018 04:30 - 5 minutes - 5.41 MB

Today's episode is yet another necessity.  It's about a very touchy topic.  This week is National Estate Planning week and although I'm not a lawyer or advisor, I've learned about some of the things we need in our lives that will help protect ourselves and our family.  It's about something we usually don't want to think about, let alone talk about with our loved ones.  It's about planning your final wishes and leaving instructions about your health care decisions.   If something bad was ...

#041 Happiness is Not Just A Choice - It's a Necessity!

September 25, 2018 18:26 - 8 minutes - 8.04 MB

Are you happy?  Do people who know you say "you're always smiling" what's up with that?  Or, "how do you stay so happy?".    I learned when I was around 22 that happiness is not something we're born with, but, something that we cultivate in our lives.  I read this book "Happiness is a Choice" by Frank M.D. Minirth and Paul Meier (if you've never read it, I highly suggest checking it out.     I picked up a copy of this book because after I was hit by the drunk driver and my mom's pass...

EP #039 Bath or Shower - Which Do You Prefer?

September 19, 2018 18:39 - 5 minutes - 4.09 MB

In my early days when I rented a couple of my apartments in Brooklyn, I didn't have a bathtub in the studio apartment.  It only had a shower stall and the bathrooms were super tiny.   Then I moved into a one bedroom in Bath Beach and I actually had a tub again.  I had missed out on using the bathtub which I desperately needed with all of the aches and pains from my injuries from the car accidents and fall into the sinkhole and a shower never quite helped me the way soaking in some Epsom ...

LNNL EP#038 Christmas in September? Whaaattt?

September 10, 2018 17:05 - 5 minutes - 3.65 MB

This episode is a little bit of a rant and rave!  I walked into a Dollar Tree store a few days ago and saw that they were starting to hang up Christmas Decorations and I immediately became a bit perturbed.     Do you think they're starting a bit too early to begin the holiday season?  I'd love to know what you think.   But, on the other hand, since its up an ready, maybe we can begin our shopping a little bit earlier this year so that we can actually enjoy the holiday season this year....

LNNL EP#036 Happy Nat'l Tequila Day!!

July 24, 2018 19:43 - 2 minutes - 1.95 MB

Today is National Tequila Day.  Tequila is one of my favorite drinks.  The first time I ever had it was in Mexico back in 1983.  Have you ever seen the worm at the bottle of Tequila?  It freaked me out the first time I saw one.  Couldn't believe that people actually drank it. Tequila is made from the blue agave plant which is harvested by hand.  It's stripped down and ground up in a stone bowl and then the extract is collected and distilled.  One of my favorite brands is Herradura Tequila ...

LNNL EP#037 How Well Do You Handle Stress? Do You Crack Under Pressure?

July 24, 2018 17:08 - 10 minutes - 8.22 MB

When the pressure is on, it's easy for us to crack under it.  Are you able to remain calm and poised or do you fly off the handle like a madman when things are getting out of whack? I used to be the second one above many, many years ago and then I quickly learned that it wasn't going to do my health any good so I learned how to adjust and become more peaceful when handling stress. It's never easy when we're faced with challenging moments.  Our fight or flight response will always kick in...
