Just Breathe

January 7, 2011

I was in yoga the other day.  I was in full lotus position.  My chakras were all aligned.  My mind is cleared of all clutter and I’m looking out of my third eye and everything that I’m supposed to be doing.  It’s amazing what comes up, when you sit in that silence:  “Mama keeps whites […]

Makeover Madness

December 21, 2010

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.” – Miss Piggy It’s ironic how you can set out to do one thing and it can take you in an entirely different direction. Sometimes things change course […]

Makeover Magic

December 21, 2010

Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass lipstick. – Gwyneth Paltrow I just read in Real Simple magazine that the average woman spends about 8 years shopping during her lifetime. That’s pretty amazing.  I thought about this statistic for a moment and suddenly felt grouchy:  during the […]

Bull’s-Eye

December 10, 2010

Aim at a high mark and you will hit it.  No, not the first time, nor the second and maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting for only practice will make you perfect.  Finally, you’ll hit the Bull’s-Eye of Success.  -Annie Oakley I expected a big adrenaline rush from the […]

Finding My Religion

December 9, 2010

My grandmother was a Jewish juggler: she used to worry about six things at once. – Richard Lewis Last week my father-in-law died.  It was so sudden that I need to create a new word to describe it. One minute we were lighting the Chanukah candles on the East Coast and the next minute we […]

A Little Help From My Friend

November 27, 2010

You’re in pretty good shape for the shape you’re in. — Dr. Seuss Lately I’ve been looking for a different sport or type of exercise to explore (the running didn’t last–see post).

Soaring on Long Island

November 25, 2010

Sanders.  Our blog inspired her to go gliding for the first time as she faced the possible dissolution of her 25-year marriage.  This blog is all about trying new things, facing fears, shaking it up.

Camera Shy No More

November 15, 2010

Max is a confident, personable guy who is well-suited to be on camera. Good-looking and put together (at least whenever I see him), he always seems to be “camera ready”. I, on the other hand, while confident, am not only camera-shy, but one of those people who always manages to get caught in my sweatpants […]

Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!— Dr. Seuss Here I go again with the French stuff. Despite having yet to make it to Paris (read about this ongoing quest), I continuously find myself drawn to French food, vintage French […]

Simple Pleasures

October 29, 2010

This past weekend was supposed to be the proverbial trek to Las Vegas with “the girls”. You know, that time-honored getaway that so many “women of a certain age” often go on.  It’s been in the pipeline and on my list of “52” for quite some time, and it would have been the first time […]
