Prestige - Yes, You Can Stop Chasing All That

 According to the American Lawyer, here are the top 10 elite law firms:

Munger Tolles (91.2)
Ropes & Gray (91.2)
Orrick (90.3)
WilmerHale (89.4)
O’Melveny & Myers (87.8)
Paul Weiss (87.5)
Skadden (87.4)
Morgan Lewis (86.3)
Debevoise (86.1)
Morrison & Foerster (84.9)

But, prestige isn't necessarily the factor in achieving, holding onto, and enhancing success. 

In more traditional times in professional life, having a major brandname on a resume was the edge so many chased. For the second phase of my career that played out. I was there, in the magic circle.

Then came the era of entrepreneurship. What could open more doors was being associated as a vendor for a cool startup. On interviews for other assignments for my boutiques I would share insights about how a startup was operating. 

More recently what has evolved is the interest in what I am doing in popular niches such as the ability to change. The clients might not be brandnames. But expertise in the subject matter is where money can be made. 

If you had been chasing prestige and either not catching up with it or not getting as much from it as expected you can stop all that. 

As The New York Times documented, getting a Tarot reading (or doing one for yourself DIY) can trigger unique self-awareness - and change. Another useful guide is book "Tarot for Change" by Jessica Dore.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

Yes, There Are Content Workers - Many of Them Are Freelancers

"A majority of workers feel they’re fairly paid, but at the top of the list are independent workers across all industries, according to a recent survey of 2,500 American workers. The findings suggest that while earning what you think you’re worth is important, so is having some power over when and how much you work for the money." -  The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2023 Today we call them "freelancers." Among them is Paul Chaney whose field is communications. On the all-important LinkedIn Profile , Chaney actually uses that term: freelancer . Not so long ago, those watching his back would have nudged him to go by the moniker "consultant." Recently, Chaney had me as a guest on a podcast about how the over-50 (who, of course, encounter so much ageism), can freelance. It received an award from Media Dimensions. Here you listen to that podcast and perhaps find your own way to freelancing.  Contentment with one's work has become the new American Dream.

The Long Half Life of The Feel-Good (from doing good)

Image
The for-sales could have run on Craigslist for 16 more days.  Then came that Ah-Ha moment. Given the low prices you get for used furniture, even though in excellent condition, why not just donate the barely used innovative bed set, artsy storage chest/prism, snow-removal equipment and karma icons.  I knocked on a neighbor's door. When I described the goodies her face lit up. You bet, she said, her husband would be right down the stairs to bring up their new stuff.  Their five-year-old would tag along with some of her stuffed animals to place immediately in the chest.  That family is delighted. The glow spills over to me. And I need that as I continue to put together the logistics for relocating back to Sierra Vista, Arizona. It's a must move, so soon after coming here to the Midwest.  Those who had heard of me back in AZ have offered me contracts for ongoing tarot reading sessions. The region has three resort areas.  Here there is only one resort area - Geneva on the Lake - and
