Better late than never
Posted By : Crysti Farra

There are many things in our day that can disrupt our normal flow, make you late for certain obligations (like blogging) and events that will have a lasting effect.... I know some of you will remember the blogs I have done in the past which included words of wisdom from our wonderful companion, Musha.  Well, almost 2 weeks ago, Musha made it known

A Century gone by
Posted By : Crysti Farra

This past weekend we had the pleasure of hosting the birthday of the century, literally!  It was a ton of family from near and far as well as a smattering of great friends who gathered to honor an amazing woman, Stewart’s mom and my self proclaimed replacement mom. The comments of the party goers following the day warmed our hearts. I have said on

Conundrum
Posted By : Crysti Farra

What happened to our world?  Our lives?  Our society?  It seems that nothing, absolutely nothing is "as it used to be".  We live such fast paced existences, rarely slowing down to "smell the roses".  I personally struggle to find the work life balance for myself that I pound into the heads of my staff.  I want them to resist burnout, realizing that

ISO Zen
Posted By : Crysti Farra

I find it hard to truly relax. My mind is always on overdrive. Between work, social activities, family business, worrying about my kids (grown adults) and trying to carve out some quality time for my honey and my puppy, it seems "I" get lost in the crunch.    Everyone chime in on tips to help me mentally disconnect and just be....

Entitlement issues
Posted By : Crysti Farra

It seems everywhere I turn these days I come across people with entitlement issues. Some ingrained. Some manufactured. Some deserved. The ingrained seem to originate from the wealth or stature in which you were raised. The manufactured type is the most vexing for me. It seems to be rampant in our youth of today. The seem to have a mistaken impressi

Fight the Good Fight...

and never give up!   When you are feeling like all is lost, look around.  There is invariable someone around you who is in a more precarious situation than you are.  There is always hope.   Point in case:   I was honored to have recently closed a case that had been in my office for nearly 9 years.   This poor gentleman client of mine was being deni

When in Paris...
Posted By : Crysti Farra

While traveling recently I noticed a few habits that made me say  "The French have it right!" All chairs at outdoor cafes face out toward the street (don't let the world pass you by); 99% of the retail stores were closed by 6:00 pm. Spend quality time not money; 99% of the restaurants stopped serving food by 10:00 pm - nothing good comes from eatin

What's in Your Networking Wallet?
Posted By : Crysti Farra

Musha always wants to know where I am going, where I have been, and did I bring him any treats from my travels? This week I had the pleasure of telling him that I had a blast while attending (co-hosting) our newest Gotham group - Lower Manhattan Dinner Group.  What a night that was.   He still insisted to know what HE got out of it.  At which poi

Social Security Old Age, Retirement and Disability Trust Funds are solvent
Posted By : Crysti Farra

For those that have always worried about the hype that "Social Security will not be around when I need it", the following Press Release from The Social Security Administration debunks that myth. Press Release | Press Office | SSA   Further, I found a great article from Center on Budget and Policy Priorities July of 2022, that explains how the tr
