What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year? This past year wasn’t exactly sprinkled with fairy dust or wrapped in a giant red bow. It was more like one of those surprise grab bags where you reach in hoping for chocolate and instead […]
Some days I wake up, skim a few “news” articles (and I’m using the term as loosely) and I’m greeted with a new trend. Apparently, women are ditching their pants. Lauren Sánchez. Sabrina Carpenter. Miley Cyrus. Wait. She ever wore pants? A whole parade of famous folks are […]
Do you trust your instincts? I usually trust my instincts. I’m a gut girl. A vibes-reader. A “I knew that before the words even came out your mouth” kind of person. My internal compass has always been so finely tuned that Google Maps could only hope to keep […]
Some people claim a day.Some people claim a week.I, being a New Yorker with a flair for the dramatic, claim a month for my birthday. A whole 30-day festival of me. I highly recommend it. In my generous spirit, I also allow others to have a birthday month.Whether […]
I’ve been rather lucky in life (knock on wood before I jinx it) that I’ve had relatively good skin. No teenage acne saga, no adult “why now?” breakouts. My skin and I have had a stable, mutually respectful relationship. I feed it soap and play and seek with […]

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow? Ah, Sunday. The day I solemnly swear to “sleep in,” only to find myself wide awake at 6:42 a.m., staring at the ceiling like it owes me rent money. My brain, ever the overachiever, is already conducting a preemptive staff meeting about the […]
“Personal tragedy has ways of focusing us in ways other things can’t.”Congressman Joseph Morelle, NY, recently said this, and oh boy, is that ever true. Focus isn’t always a calm, zen-like, candlelit process. Sometimes it’s a zap. A kick in the gut. A cruel nudge from the universe […]
Carly Simon once sang about dreams turning into “clouds in my coffee.” I feel that deep in my bones. Because let’s be real: life is full of those “this was supposed to be great, but ehhh” moments. I’ve had the big-ticket letdowns including the bucket-list trip that somehow […]
