I was recently chatting with a friend about the traits that make for success. The premise of our conversation was to be profession or vocation agnostic and try to get down to what traits cross all types of work and are the bedrock of a successful career. My answer was curiosity. To be successful at whatever you choose, I think you must be curi …
I need book recommendations. We have a pool in our backyard. Usually, on the weekends, our kids come to enjoy the pool. Those days are filled with family tumult. Always fun but, definitely, tiring. If we’re lucky, my husband and I would have one day over the weekend alone to enjoy the pool by ourselves and relax. My husband loves to putter arou …
So I receive a text 4:00 p.m. last Monday afternoon that Fox 5 News seeks to interview a representative of group I am involved with for their telecast that begins just over one hour later. The group's president, Susan Lee, who sent the text, and a former city council member and retired jurist, Kathryn Freed, who we prefer to use a spokespersons, a …
I found an old note yesterday while leafing through my phone. It's a quote I typed in over 5 years ago. I’m not sure where it came from originally: “Effortlessly flowing through life doing what I love to do.” Now that is a state of being worth striving for. Lately, life has felt a bit heavy for me. Pressures, deadlines, distractions, etc. But t …
My fellow Syracuse University graduate and Key West neighbor, Louis Petrone, aka "Key West Lou", achieved his 90th birthday this past Sunday. On its own, the mere accumulation of so many years is cause for celebration, but, even more so, we must celebrate how his (triumph of the will) determination carried him through extended travail which would …
There’s a crystal shop in Great Barrington. Lots of meditation, wellness and supporting crystals.Thinking that a smooth stone in a pocket would be nice - pink quartz is very calming - we ventured in.Inspecting the abundance of quartz, there was one that stood out . Unlike the others, it was cracked. Its smooth surface was interrupted.It spoke to us …
Here is the catch. You must be dead and cremated. If this can work, there are several companies that will fly your ashes to space and bring them back down to earth for about $3,500. Not too bad if you don’t have the means, while alive. For about three decades, a company based in Texas has billed itself as the first and most prominent business to o …
A few weeks back, Bill and I had dinner with some new friends. We were all just getting to know each other. When one shared about her children, my first question was – where do your children live? A little while later we both laughed at my perspective. Both of my grown children live in far away states. Air travel is definitely required. (Well …
We recently flew to Michigan overnight to attend a long-time friend’s son’s wedding. The wedding was beautiful and a reflection of the love and affection everyone who attended had for both families. Going to and from the airport and the venue from our hotel required a few Uber trips for us. I always try to strike up a conversation with our car …
Yesterday, Gotham (& FDR Lodge 613 Knights of Pythias co-) hosted an afternoon at a warm Citi Field. Perhaps "hot" better represented the day, not just for the heat. Each team -- the New York Mets and the New York Yankees -- blasted three home runs; albeit none by Friday's fave Yankee who wears #99. The difference involved the three Mets blas …
