I commented on Rona’s blog yesterday about the sanctity of my “to do” lists. I started my process years ago and I have a system complete with timing. Sunday evenings, I make my list for the upcoming week. I literally open One Note and start a new page, having the entire year to look back upon. Across the top of the page I organize the days of t …
I like the exercise of goal setting at the beginning of each year. I am far from a stickler for grand goal details and tracking, but I always find that just the process helps me focus. I don’t really like the idea of “resolutions”. I think goals are different. Sometimes my goals are personal and sometimes professional, most times both. This …
What a wonderful last couple of weeks I have had. Since early December, my house has been in various stages of full. Early in the month, my daughter and grandpuppy came home, followed shortly thereafter by her significant other followed shortly after by my son and his significant other. We had countless meals around my table in combinations of …
It is a little surreal to me that this is my last blog of 2022. This year has just zipped by. “It seems like yesterday” was meant for this experience. I remember that feeling of a year passing when I was young. I remember thinking about how slowly time moved – and wishing for so many things to speed up. Silly child. You can expect my first …
Our evening of Chinese food and a family movie will quickly be upon us, complete with at least half of my children. We have already started the conversation not only about which take out restaurant will be our "go to", but also our choice of movies. I had a conversation with a client today and we wandered into talking about an old Robert DeN …
Over the course of a few days, LI Women had its first in person meeting since 2020 and Gotham had a fabulous cocktails evening in NYC to celebrate the holidays. There is something in the air (although hopefully not COVD, the flu or RSV). I could not have been more charged up than I was leaving the LI Women’s meeting. (Thank you to Marie Elena …
All day yesterday, I couldn’t escape that first day of school feeling. Frankly, I’m not sure I wanted to escape it. With the benefit of hindsight, I look back fondly on those firsts. So off I went – or better said “we” went – bright and early to venture to a new firm to start a new adventure with our team. I got dressed, packed a bag, found m …
OK, Rona started this conversation yesterday -- and then today it turned personal, yet again. Bill has COVID. He was the last hold out in our family – and now I’m stuck on what to do with the 17 pound turkey defrosting in my refrigerator. I know he isn't alone, and neither are we in lamenting disrupted family plans. [Maybe Rona and Bill shou …
Has anyone been to Penn Station lately? It is shaping up to be beautiful – bright, high ceilings and more. But have you had occasion to get there early and want to sit to wait for your train? Apparently, that is not in the cards. Last Saturday night we took the LIRR on the later side in the evening, but we were early. The main waiting room w …
I learned that I am a fan of early voting. Sometimes it has been difficult to vote with Election Day falling on an inconvenient date or time. But I always vote. I can’t think of an election I’ve missed as an adult. Early voting really helps. With so many choices of dates, times and locations it made voting a breeze this year. Sure, there wa …
