Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. This has been an extremely trying year. And, after each challenge, I felt “excited” about either moving on or making it through to the other side. You don’t go through a year of a spouse’s death, cancer diagnosis […]
I am currently in a foreign country, having a glass of wine watching my son across the table. The waiter asked him whether he wanted a glass of wine as well. I chuckled and noted that he had just turned 15. The waiter shrugged and asked again. My […]
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 […]
I am truly hoping that I will get some sleep tonight. Actually, a lot of sleep. For me, that’s six hours. I would be ecstatic at seven hours but will happily take six. Sigh. I had one of those days where I did not have downtime. I woke […]

What is a word you feel that too many people use? Every year, there are a few words that just get overused to the point that they are meaningless, have lost their oomph, or are a conversation ender. We went from “on fleek” to “OK, boomer” to “woke.” […]
What brings you peace? Peace Piece of cake Slice of pie Whole pizza Bowl of gumbo Plate of macaroons Binge a few detective shows Chow down on drunken noodles Sip a watermelon mojito Twenty minutes of sun Thirty minutes in a bath Ten seconds of a heartbeat The […]
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell? Hope. They say (or some do) that all we need is love. Sure, we need love. No doubt. But to get to love, sometimes we need hope. More and more, I feel the stirring power […]
