Shel Silverstein is at the tippy top of our list of favorite authors. I mean, really. What a gifted – truly gifted – writer he was. I am especially enamored by his poem, “The Voice.” Isn’t this message – that there is a voice inside each of us that tells us what is right and what… Continue reading The Voice by Shel Silverstein

Time Management and Getting things DONE
Another weekend was spent with way too much time at my computer. My To Do list is seemingly miles long…and getting longer by the minute. My face is broken out from stress (and a few too many gluten-filled cookies) and there are Birkin Bags under my eyes. Oh and the HOTY (a/k/a Husband of the… Continue reading Time Management and Getting things DONE

Just last night, I was telling friends about one of my favorites, Eichmann in My Hands, a memoir by Peter Z. Malkin & Harry Stein.

The One Reason it Will Work
For some reason, I’ve been hearing “that won’t work” or “there’s no way that’s going to happen.” Geesh! Not sure from where this negativity is coming, but I don’t like it and am sure to meet it with the philosophy: “Forget all the reasons it won’t work and believe the one reason that it will.” I’m… Continue reading The One Reason it Will Work

Paris: The Photography of John Mardiat
Hope you had a great Bastille Day! Having just returned France, I’ve been feeling especially francophile-ish.
