Thursday Night 10pm
I am getting a ton of holiday cards this year. Most of them are so blah, so impersonal. Why bother if it doesn't express your true sentiments or your essence? What a waste of time, money, and paper. Bah humbug!
Tonight was the final episode of our AM radio show. Yes - I am so ready to give it up but still have mixed feelings. Oh well - onward and upward.
CME tomorrow and we have a big crowd coming. Better get to sleep. Nighty, night.

Still Crazy After All This Time
Holy Cow!! Its seven months since I last posted to this blog. Its not like I have posted elsewhere, I am just very, very busy. Lots going on - all of the time.
Shortly after my last post I moved my radio show to WBZT. Actually, there were two shows - a morning show that I did with two colleagues and an evening show, sponsored by a local treatment center, which focused on addiction and recovery. This went on for six months. But, for a variety of logistical reasons I decided to go back to WWNN and on June 20 my newest (and I think best) show - Robin and Dubow On The Radio - debuted. Dubow is of course my friend and colleague (my co-trainer at Mediation Training Group) Mediator Susan Dubow. Susan is a political pundit and my focus is (as always) relationship dynamics. So, we talk about conflict and everything from the presidential race to celebrity divorce. We would love to get more callers - especially those seeking advice - and to encourage that we have secured some great rewards. (Fantastic restaurant and personal service gift certificates.) So listen on Thursday evenings from 6-7pm - www.wwnnradio.com or 1470am if you are in South Florida - and call in.
David and I remain busy with A Friendly Divorce. And, we are constantly learning more about the complex process and effects of divorce. Sadly, we are finding that the terrible economy is acting as the final straw for many of our clients. These are couples who probably could have held their marriages together were it not for the added stress brought on by the current real estate crash, business crisis, and financial fiasco. In spite of the sadness we often witness, we find our work very gratifying, knowing that we are helping our clients conserve their resources, protect their children and save their sanity. In April we moved into a bigger and much nicer office, on June 24 we celebrated our AFD one year anniversary, and this month we contracted for office space so that we can now meet with clients in satellite offices in Plantation, Orlando, Palm Beach Gardens, Jacksonville, Tampa and Gainesville.
This week I begin another Family Mediation training program. At the same time my son Seth is moving to NY for his dream job while my daughter Sari is in active pursuit of hers. More to follow.

Friday Morning
Doing six hours a week on the radio, in addition to my usual work with Mediation Training Group and A Friendly Divorce, means that there is little time for anything else. This insane pace will stop at the end of the month. My plan for Jan is to have less on-air time with a station that has a stronger signal - yes, its about working smarter, not harder. I will keep you posted. In the meantime, so-far this week my guests were Vivienne Steinhardt, LCSW, step-family expert - www.in-step-families.com, Dr Brad Swift, author of Life On Purpose: Six Passages To An Inspired Life www.lifeonpurpose.com, and Lorraine Powers, attorney and gay activist. Coming up I have Boca Raton Realtor extraordinaire Michele Bellisari www.michelebee.com and Karen Vogel of The Women's Congress www.thewomenscongress.com.
In my continuing efforts to spread the message regarding the possibilities for friendly divorce www.AFriendlyDivorce.com I spoke to two community groups this week. I am not sure if these talks are my marketing efforts or my soapbox but in either case, they are paying off. In addition to our work with divorcing couples we are finding that couples contemplating marriage are ready to work with us on creating Marriage Pacts. So, all is well. Stay safe.

I'm Still Here!
As usual life is hectic. Part of the reason that life is so hectic is that I spend five hours a week on the radio. In addition to actual air time there is a lot of prep involved. So, if you have missed my show, here is my radio report.
On Sunday 11/25 Attorney Andy Wyman visited and gave us the low-down on insurance companies and how we can protect ourselves from their greed. The insurance situation - be it health insurance or property insurance - is not a pretty picture. If you have insurance issues visit Andy at www.wymanlawfirm.com.
On Monday 11/26 I was joined by Dr. Sharon Fried-Buchalter, a local clinical psychologist and author of "Children Are People Too: Unlocking the 8 Secrets to Family Happiness" and "New Parents Are People Too: 8 Secrets to Surviving Parenthood As Individuals And As a Couple." Dr. Sharon is an amazing parenting expert whose message is both down to earth and befitting of our 21st century lifestyles. Her books are a must read for parents. Actually, I was so impressed with Dr. Sharon that I invited her back a week later. And, on 12/3 we talked about motivation and individual quests for excellence. I must say that our time together was very inspiring and I am delighted that I can call Dr. Sharon a friend as well as a colleague. Sharon and I share a mission - to carry our messages of personal growth and healthy relationships - so stay tuned. In the meantime, you can find Sharon at www.peopletoounlimited.com
On Thursday 11/29, my guests were Janis Spindel, the international matchmaker and Nancy May of the Women's Global Business Alliance. Nancy spoke about women sitting on corporate boards. Hmm.... Every corporate board should have their own resident mediator. I think I see a place to start a trend.
On Friday 11/30, Tim Dimoff, a violence expert spoke about rage - work rage, airplane rage, road rage. His topic is timely - five days later, on Dec 5 - a young man "snapped" in Omaha, NE and killed eight people in a crowded shopping mall. Find out more about Tim at www.liferage.com. On a lighter note, on this same night, Michael Shimberg, author of "The Complete Single Father" shared wisdom and tips for single dads.
On Sunday 12/2, Amy Volkers, Astrologer, gave our audience some right-on readings. You can find Amy at www.avalonmoonquestes.com
On Thursday my radio buddy, Peter from Parkland, brought his own special version of insanity to the airwaves and we held a year end awards show naming the 13 most unlucky people of 2007. Interestingly, each of our Unlucky 13 was unlucky because of their own stupidity and/or greed. Our 13 losers were David Hasselhoff, Alec Baldwin, Lindsay Lohan, Michael Richards, Anna Nicole Smith, OJ, Brittany Spears, Senator Larry Craig, Michael Vick, Don Imus, locals Anthony Masilotti and Ken Jenne, and drum roll please, George Bush.
Friday 12/7 brought a pleasant surprise. My first scheduled guest failed to appear. But, my husband David was with me in the studio and we discussed our own version of the six aspects of divorce: the physical, legal, emotional, financial, social, and logistical. I really enjoyed being on with David and he enjoyed it too. I can only hope that the radio bug has bitten him too. To find out more about our divorce mediation and document preparation service - A Friendly Divorce - visit our website www.AFriendlyDivorce.com. Our second scheduled guest, Lisa J. Peck, author of "Silent Cries: A Woman's Journey To Freedom" brought her own story as well as helpful information about domestic violence to our listeners. To find out more about Lisa's work with domestic violence survivors visit her website - www.redemptivecommunity.com.
And, finally, today, Sunday 12/9, Susan and I discussed our own personal beef - the awful cleanliness procedures found at hotels and nail salons during our 10-11am show "What's Your Beef?" And, from 11 to noon my guest on the Mystic Holistic Hour was Boca Raton psychic Halley Elise - www.byregion.net/cgibin/users/profiles.pl?username=mysterieslady. Halley gave amazing readings to our listeners, one of which was my daughter, Sari. And, we agree that we want more from this fascinating woman.
As if all of this was not enough, in the last two weeks, since my last blog entry on 11/24, Susan and I held a 5-day family mediation training in Boca and a 5-day Circuit Civil mediation training in Orlando. And, I have maintained close contact with all of my divorcing clients. Its no wonder that I missed one meeting of my MastHerMind group and David's Toastmasters' holiday party.
Stay tuned.

Sage Advice
In the last few days the signs have been everywhere. And, they are all pointing to this blog. All of the sage advice is saying - YOUR MUST HAVE A BLOG. So, here I am. Welcome to my blog.
My name is Dr. Elinor Robin. I am a mediator, mediation trainer and emerging media personality. (Susan Dubow, who will hereafter - in this blog - be known as Susan, my best friend and training partner at Mediation Training Group, calls me a media whore. But Emerging Media Personality is much more accurate - don't you think?
Anyway, in addition to training others to mediate, I mediate workplace disputes (mostly for the US Postal Service and the EEOC) AND I mediate divorces and related matters with my husband and partner David Spofford. We call our mediation practice A Friendly Divorce - www.AFriendlyDivorce.com. No, its not an oxy-moron. Our co-mediation model is unique in that we bring both a male-female balance and an uncommon mix of legal and psychological expertise to the mediation table. Additionally, we take our clients one more step, preparing all of their necessary court documents so our one-stop-shop (OK, all inclusive service) allows them to then go in front of the court for an uncontested divorce.
My media activities currently revolve around my radio shows which are heard on WWNN Radio -1470AM (www.wwnnradio.com - click on Listen Live) in South Florida. I am on Monday and Thursday nights from 8 to 9pm with The Dr Elinor Robin Show. Then on Sunday mornings from 10-11am I do a show called "What's Your Beef?" with Susan. This show gives us and the listeners a chance to vent, rant, and rave about whats wrong with the world. Then from 11-noon I host the MysticHolistic Hour. Thanks to my Executive Producer Rick Seid we have a steady stream of mystics and holistics (everything from Tarot Card readers to Chiropractors) who come to the studio with their individual methods for knowing and healing.
Radio is not my only media outlet. I also write some on-line and in print columns which focus on different aspects of personal and professional growth, relationships and conflicts. You can find me anywhere from www.WomenEntrepreneur.com (part of Entrepreneur Magazine) to The Solution News - www.thesolutionnews.com - a local newspaper serving the recovery community.
As time goes on I promise I will divulge much more. So stay tuned.
Best, Elinor
