Laurie: I can’t believe it’s time to haul out that big folder with all the crumpled receipts and attempt to make some sense out of the mess. First, we curse. We curse because last year around this time we swore that we would neatly file all these pesky pieces of paper in a proper...

Coaches on the Edge Find Taxes Taxing.
Coaches on the Edge are not Forgiving or Forgetting. Not this Time.
elizabeth: There are those people who are easy to hate and deserve our fury. Hitler, Idi Amin, Charles Manson and his buddy Ted Bundy and my third grade teacher Mrs. Kaplan who tried to leave me back a grade. You get what I am saying – people who hurt a few to a few...

Coaches on the Edge to get on the cover of O Magazine. Week 15
elizabeth: Laurie, did you hear that our friend Oprah (we are all children of the universe so I feel comfortable calling her a friend until she elevates us to “special girlfriends”) is having an unauthorized biography coming out about her in April 2010. The Times of London reported that “Oprah’s life is next in...

Coaches on the Edge are Looking for Heroes (of Olympic Proportions).
Laurie: I hope I’m not going to get my citizenship revoked. This may even be considered an international insult but I am going to risk it anyway. I am not watching the Olympics this year. Okay, pick yourself up off the floor and listen to my reasoning. I was pretty sure that I didn’t...

Coaches on the Edge Face the Fear.
Laurie: Either I’m booking fantastic guests or my listening skills are getting better, but I’m really learning a lot about myself on my Monday night Coach World TV. The latest revelation is that pretty much everything I do (or don’t do) is motivated/stymied by FEAR. Yeah, tough-talking, world-weary, New York City-jaded me has a...

Laurie: Okay, Valentine’s Day is over. Although we didn’t hear from you, we realize that you were probably out buying cars for all your staff in honor of the day devoted to red gifts. And Coaches on the Edge are not about to take being ignored personally. Instead we will renew our plea. There...

Coaches on the Edge Consider Career Changes.
Laurie: I wanna be a weatherwoman. I think the fancy name is meteorologist, but whatever you call me, I would have a job where I would be expected to be incorrect. How cool is that? I could say whatever I want, pick a bogus percentage to boost my forecast, and still be considered an...

Coaches on the Edge are not feeling Zen-sational.
elizabeth: I am embarrassed to say that Buddha might be gunning for me for being superficial and judgmental. I feel really bad about it but I am just a student and have a long way to go. And if finding nirvana is anything like school, God knows I will be wearing out my welcome...

Coaches on the Edge to get on the cover of O Magazine. Week 13. Happy Valentine’s Day.
Laurie: Red ribbons, gooey chocolates, lace, and mushy cards – do we want this for Valentine’s Day? Heck no! What would get our blood boiling, our hearts thumping, and our asses in gear to drop those damn extra pounds would be that call from Oprah’s people saying “Yes, you can be on the cover of O...

Coaches on the Edge are Taking Over. Get ready for the New World Order.
elizabeth: I am tired with how the world is being run. I think most of the people in charge of this planet are working at a disadvantage… thinking with their butts only. Everybody seems to be mean-spirited and self-indulgent and I have had it. As of today, I am taking over. Laurie, how about heading...
