I love high heels. For work. However, out on cobblestone streets or potholed New York City streets, high heels are a bit impractical. I laugh a little bit when I see women wobbling in 5-inch heels on the Brooklyn Pier. Why do people subject themselves to that? I […]
What do you listen to while you work? Some people have the grand luxury to be able to listen to music while working. And, what a luxury that is. In my mind. There was a time when I could crank the music loud and type away. Think away. […]
Organizational psychologist Adam Grant noted that “unscheduled time isn’t wasted. It’s invested in well-being.” Yet, so many of us fret over wasted time in the workplace and at home. Some over helicopter their children to the point that their kids are over-scheduled, running from one thing to the […]
What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life? I work hard. I used to play hard. Yet, I still find my daily comforts. I can re-watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Dirty Dancing repeatedly. I like my decent bottle of Reisling. I love carrying […]

How do you feel about cold weather? I am a warm-blooded person. I need heat and warmth. However, please keep humidity away. My hair, most certainly, detests humidity. Waking up to 100-degree Florida summers, for example, is unbearable to the overall well-being of my hair. Which is why […]
It’s been a long day of doing nothing. I woke up with goals. I attempted to address said goals. I even wrote a short, manageable to-do list of eight items, and I got through two items. Although, one item was that of pay bills, and I dutifully paid […]
How has technology changed your job? Look, technology keeps evolving. I’m old enough to remember Blockbuster. I’m hearing that they may make a comeback. They went away, and maybe they’ll come back new and enhanced. Technology keeps us moving forward. Although, it also seems as if it makes […]
