Nicole Aloni: Re-inventing & Dealing with Loss in Later Life
Nicole Aloni has had many lives and many losses. She is a French-trained chef (she cooked for Julia Child and Queen Elizabeth to name a few), was the director of catering of the Music Center in Los Angeles, founded a restaurant, catering company, food manufacturing business and photography studio. She was married to the love of her life, Ami Aloni, a prominent personality in the Jewish musical life of L.A., most especially revered in the synagogue world as a composer, arranger, pianist, and conductor.
After Ami’s tragic passing, Nicole reinvented herself several more times. She authored articles and books about food and entertaining. She also wrote, produced, and performed her autobiographical one-woman show, Le Grand Fromage, which you can watch on YouTube! In this funny and poignant show, she cooks French food on stage as she tells the riveting stories of her life. It will have you laughing and keep you on the edge of your seat. Nicole is also a certified coach specializing in collaborating with creative risk-takers, entrepreneurs, performers, public speakers and those re-inventing. You are going to be glued to her every word!
Not be missed take-ways:
1. Everything’s going to be alright. Really…really.
2. The Universe wants us to succeed. It is for us, not against us.
3. If you’re grateful, you can’t be grateful and angry or sad at the same time. So, if you’re concentrating on what there is to be grateful for, you’re occupying your mind with something that is life affirming.
4. The 3 P’s of Resilience
5. Believe that you deserve good things.
6. Wear sleeveless shirts!
7. We are not in control.
8. There really is no sense in worrying. It’s completely useless.
And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…
1) Watch Nicole’s one woman show, Le Grand Fromage. It is a MUST see!
2) If/when you’re going through a challenging time, start that gratitude journal. Write down at least three things every day that you are grateful for.
3) When any opportunity presents itself, say yes, and figure it out later. Take the leap!
