How can you not like this woman? She's super smart and wicked funny! She developed her own liquor! A bit of a wise guy, she tells everyone how it's going to be. I heart her.
She just came out with a new book: A Place of Yes: 10 Rules for Getting Everything You Want Out of Life
. In honor of this book, I vowed today to come from a place of Yes more often, too. Here's the recap:1. My daughter asked to stay home today; she was sick. I said "YES, but you will clean your room, vacuum the living room and fold towels with me".
2. My husband asked if I was cooking dinner tonight or should he just plan to eat cereal. I said "YES, I'm cooking dinner, but if you complain 1 bit about the food, I'm never cooking again, so maybe cereal is a good choice for you tonight".
3. I received a call today from a lawn maintenance company asking if we'd like our annual spring clean up to take place next week. I said "YES, but I'd like for you to lower the price. It's quite an expensive service and we're considering cancelling altogether due to the cost."
See, I can play nice, too! Thanks for the inspiration, Bethenny Frankel!

I LOVE Bethenny, but I don't know how she lives with so many people running around her house. I would go crazy.

Bethenny rocks! I say YES to her & this post!!
I love her too and it breaks my heart to see how insecure she is. That last episode for her birthday was heartbreaking.
