I am a Certified Life Coach and Professional Retreat Leader (and Mary Poppins!) with over 20 years experience in guiding others through enlivening, challenging and results-oriented personal development. Are you ready to redesign your life so that the 2nd half of life is beyond your wildest expectations?
When was the last time you played, really let go and took time for yourself?

What's your favorite way to play? Where do you (or would you) love to go?

How do you feel when you play? How does it benefit you and others?

Here are a couple of playful poems to enJOY. Read them out loud for extra fun!

HURK by Shel Silverstein
I'd rather play tennis than go to the dentist. I'd rather play soccer than go to the doctor. I'd rather play Hurk than go to work. Hurk? Hurk? What's Hurk? I don't know, but it must be better than work.
PUT SOMETHING IN by Shel Silverstein
Draw a crazy picture, Write a nutty peom, Sing a mumble-gumble song, Whistle through your comb. Do a loony-goony dance 'Cross the kitchen floor, Put something silly in the world That ain't been there before.
Are you playing the game on the outside and afraid you've lost yourself on the inside?

PLAY! Rejuvenate Your (mid)Life!

When was the last time you planned something just for you? Time away, time to play. Maybe you've fantasized about a retreat that pampers your body and nurtures your soul. Or a weekend at a cozy inn with your girlfriends. To laugh, kick back, and share your stories with each other. Or maybe you've been longing to do some bareboat sailing and gunk holing in the Caribbean this winter with your honey.

Do you remember what it was like to play like a child? Today I remembered.

Building sandcastles---Clemmie's with a high tower, moat and a room for "beauty massage" and Noah's with a huge, rounded sandcastle dug out with his "bulldozer" feet-took me right into their mysterious world and felt as natural and renewing as if I had taken 3 days vacation.

Oh, how I remember that wondrous, free feeling that play brings me!

"Get real", you say. "Who will take care of the kids if my husband and I go away for a week? How do I find a personal retreat or girlfriend getaway like you've described? It all sounds too good to be true!"

Are you ready to bring more play into your life and take some time for yourself? Here are 3 resources to create that for yourself.

Morgaine "Mary Poppins": You Go Away and We All Get to Play!
Imagine someone like me moving into your home for a week while you go away and play. Yes, while you go on vacation. Think Mary Poppins, flying into your family's life and taking over the magical care and well- being of your children, while you take good care of you!

One of my passions is being with children and I have been blessed to have them as my midlife teachers since 1991 when I left the corporate world and discovered the unexpected joys of childcare while being a part time nanny. They have taught me pure silliness and the freedom of uninhibited gibberish!

"Supercalifrajilisticexpialidocious!"

Working with the Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator and Jungian concepts for more than 20 years has given me tremendous tools and insight to help people understand themselves and each other---including children and their parents!

Being with your children for a week will give me a sense of their innate personality and who they truly are. Together, we can discuss ways to encourage their strengths and help them grow into confident, healthy adults. I am a Certified Life Coach with excellent references and credentials. I can help you help them.

As "Mary Poppins", I am a magical nanny who arrives to bring families closer.

p.s. The "Morgaine Mary Poppins" offer is a special invitation that I'm extending to you and the people you know. Since I am also a fulltime life coach and retreat leader (and believe in life balance!), I am reserving just 1 week/month (some weekends are also available) for my Mary Poppins playful work.

I am taking reservations now for 2006, so call me at (508) 548-6659 to see what weeks I have open. Yes, you really can plan your dream vacation!
