Last fall I took my kids to Hermosa Beach. It was a big moment for me because the whole time I was playing professional volleyball, in my 20s, I dreamed I would have a family and live in Hermosa. It’s a great beach town with top-notch volleyball. There’s proximity to good career opportunities in the LA area, and a culture of kids growing up with sand in their hair.

I’m a big believer in setting goals. After all, how can you expect to “get” anywhere without first having a clear idea of where you want to go?

Well, here are three common experiences (I know them well) and what you can learn from them. 1. “Wait.

After the Facebook IPO, Sheryl Sandberg will become number two on the list of richest self-made women. She is the COO of Facebook. For those of you not familiar with her career, there’s a nice summary in the New York Times. But the bottom line is that she is really smart (Harvard), a really hard worker (startups, Google, Facebook), a great speaker ( here’s a commencement speech) ,and she’s married to a guy who is also making tons of money in startups.

I always thought leaving New York City would be good for me because when you live there, the push to get the best of everything is very strong.

Do you ever find yourself stumbling around your workplace wondering, “Where is the love?”. I’ve been in professional environments where the tension was so thick you could practically taste it. People literally hated one another. They actively worked against their teammates. The gossip and backstabbing and flat-out sabotage was almost comical. Like something out of a movie.

A while back, someone was interviewing me and asked me if I’ve tried yoga. Right now a zillion people are thinking I’m writing about them. Because so many people, in the middle of an interview, will decide they need to recommend to me that I do yoga. The person tells me that yoga changed their life and they think it would help my life. So I says that I have been practicing Ashtanga yoga for fifteen years.

So we got a divorce.
