- Who’s Lil’ Miss Zip?
I’m an empty-nesting mom, family therapist and parenting coach here to help you rise above your daily concerns and connect to a ZipLine of Love. My goal is to create more space in the world for Slice-of-Love Stories… beginning with my own. I’ve organized my efforts to live my best life now and gave my life a love transfusion. I learned to flutter above my life, reframe my stories and connect to a ZipLine of Love. I’m also an Italian cook with a big, beautiful Italian family (BBIF) so look for Mamma in the Kitchen ZipMeals and ZipTools for Living, Loving and Parenting.- We connect to a ZipLine of Love when we choose to live at a higher love vibration. This concept reminds me of a friend who lived in Tokyo with her tall, blonde husband. When they met in a crowded place, she spotted him instantly because he was higher and lighter than those around him. When we connect to a ZipLine, we recognize and move toward others who live and love at the same vibration. It helps to envision your highest love vibration: Group consciousness; stream of goodness; cord of good karma; energy source; high road; larger perspective; good reputation to live up to; highest Self; Spirit; God center or whatever inspires you. On a ZipLine of Love, we look at our stories, past, present and future, through a generous perspective and release all that is less than love. Together in the light of love we rise above and beyond what kept us apart.
- I’ll post on Wednesdays, reflections and Slice-of-Love stories that lift us to a ZipLine of Love. Please bring your stories to the table: A pot-luck combination will add more spice and variety than I could ever provide alone. Why Wednesdays… because it used to be Prince Spaghetti Day. The commercial featured an Italian mother hanging out a window calling her son home to be fed, nurtured and restored. I imagined Anthony plopping on his mother’s lap and taking in all the goodness she had to offer. A bowl of good karma was on their table every Wednesday and to this his mother called him home. That’s my wish for you: That you’ll come home every Wednesday to a bowl of good karma at your table. I’ll lean out my window with a big bowl of goodness: Slice-of-Love Stories with all the fixings for a fun-loving life. So tuck a red and white checked napkin in your shirt and meet me on a ZipLine of Love.
- It's never too late to decide to view ourselves, one another and our stories through rose-colored glasses. Like the turn of a kaleidoscope, sometimes all it takes is a simple shift or reframe to make a big difference. Here ’s how it worked for me: By insisting on love, in sometimes difficult situations, I reached beyond my truth and tried to gain a broader perspective. I began to recognize life’s difficulties as lessons and those who delivered them as teachers. I realized there’s no “right” which meant I could not have been “wronged.” What’s left is pure and simple: Love without conditions. Building on the premise that “Good karma makes good sense,” I soared to a ZipLine of Love and began to look at scenarios in terms of “Nets” that bind or “Wings” that release. What were once less-than-love stories gave way to an endless stream of love stories and I became your ZipLine Lady. I’m inviting you to put this recipe to the test and meet me on the ZipLine. If you’re already there, then all the better.
Lil’ Miss Zip started her career in the fashion arena, working for a buying house in NYC where she honed her fashion critiques and was inspired from some of the world’s most prominent designers. She later moved to a career in marketing, where she has been for over 11 years. With a degree in Fashion Merchandising/Marketing and a Bachelor of Science, Lil’ Miss Zip never let her fashion “flare” fail her! Excited to be working on the ZipLine with long-time friend, ZipLine Lady, she plans to use her sense of style, individual trend-setting efforts and favorite obsessions to help motivate in this ever-evolving world of fashion!
