I woke up peaceful this morning. No matter what your political stand, the election is over and it seems we can breath again. It felt as if each of us, this country and the rest of the world were holding our breath to witness the outcome of the election. And last night it felt like [...]
I tried to swear off politcal TV last night - it's feeling more and more like a "junk food diet." I'm jumping on (or in) late at night, early in the morning and in between clients. I'm even finding myself "sneaking" it in before Sandra comes into the office. Yikes! I'm a "political junkie" but with the [...]
We are smack in the throws of a great deal of change right now - as a country and as a world. But how resilient are you? Does change "knock you over" or "fire you up?" The key to success is to create resiliency. I decided to try this hair cut and color experiment to [...]
The traffic is snarled and noisey. With less than a mile between my office and the United Nations on 1st Avenue, the air is thick with disgruntled energy. As world leaders prepare to meet this week, do you suppose they take the time to get grounded and breathe? What would that be like? The symphony of [...]
I'm amazed when women tell me they "cheated" or "have been bad" when they've had a bit of dessert or pizza. What?!? It's not about the doughnut (or the dessert or the pizza)! Say hello to your stomach! The stomach is located at the end of the esophagus and slightly to the left. If you [...]
OK - I love moving! But more importantly, I love getting others moving! So when my niece, Shannon, and her brother, Justin, came to town, we were off and running! NYC has some wonderful movement opportunities, first and foremost in the amount of walking one can accomplish! We certainly burned some rubber on our kicks! [...]
I'm enjoying the last week of summer with a staycation - not traveling and enjoying some things locally that I never seem to have time to do! My niece (15) and nephew (17) were in town and we had an absolute blast together in the Big Apple! (I'll be able to add some photos tomorrow). The summer [...]
I sat on my gluteus maximus for nearly 7 hours on Monday (the "nearly" included my 20 minute walk at lunch time). My verdict is in...you STILL need to move while waiting to serve! So here's my New York US District Court "Jury Assembly Room" Workout! 1 - Unplug! You are not allowed to bring [...]
What happens when you take 20 women out of their busy, hectic, urban lives and put them in the woods for 4 days? Magic! We spent an amazing 4 days in upstate Ney York for our annual Wellness Weekend. The weather was perfect and the setting absolutely beautiful. We hiked, played volleyball, whiffle ball, sang [...]
It's been six weeks since Champagne passed. Seems July is just a blur. In the wake of the loss, I still seem to function and at times feel even more grounded knowing that "this is life." It's still challenging - the early mornings when I get up, the evenings when I come home from teaching. [...]
