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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

This is our first guest post! The following post was written by R. 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. I don’t think it gets any braver […]

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 […]

Maybe it was because Halloween was around the corner. I’m not really sure. But this past week, for the first time, I went for a Tarot card reading. What made it even more unusual is that the reading took place while I was away with some friends for an annual “spa” getaway sans significant others, […]

“Where are the tote bags? I’m not leaving the premises without tote bags. I was promised tote bags and tote bags I shall have.” Seinfeld’s Kramer, volunteering at PBS, in “The Pledge Drive” episode I couldn’t remember the last time I did something just because it was a “good” thing to do. I am not […]

Forget about bungee jumping: Try being over 40 and thinking about a new career. Now that will make you shake in your new Manolo Blahnik studded fringe boots (or, in my case, new, New Balance sneakers). I think, for me, it started with baseball cards. I was a “tomboy” for a few years when I […]

This week I discovered that Dr. Seuss was actually wrong once. He said, “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” I know what he is trying to say. I just think he’s wrong. The fact is, we all say too much […]

“I have no more conditioner,” my 4th grade daughter reminded me as I dropped her at school last week, her hair looking frizzy, as she grabbed her book bag, kissed me goodbye and ran into school. I mentally added it to my list of things to do and dreaded the day ahead filled with mundane […]
