Do you bake? I don’t, not really. The occasional Tollhouse cookies or birthday cupcakes from a mix, and a key-lime pie a very long time ago, but honestly, I am not much of a baker. I find the mess and the required preciseness of it more stressful than cathartic, although I once read that baking […]

I downloaded an App from Apple’s iTunes store this week. Not so different, new or exciting? Well, it wasn’t just any App. It was something that represents a big “to do” for me. And then, I actually did it. What did I do? I went running. And I used a silly little App on my […]

Moving forward is what this project is all about. While that may be interpreted in different ways by people, for me it is all about pushing myself to just “do” in all sorts of ways that I have never done before and hopefully get others motivated too. So far, some weeks have been about emotional […]

96 socks, 40 pairs of underwear, 32 tee shirts, and 14 towels later (along with a host of other stuff that filled 2 enormous duffel bags each), the labeling and packing was done and my two girls were on their bus to sleep-away camp this week. I knew I was getting to my “52” very […]

If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass. – Fran Lebowitz Anyone who has been following my exploits these first few […]

Initially, there really was an exciting plan in mind. I did my homework, I thought I was prepared, I was ready to tackle and enjoy another experience on my 52 Week to-do list. Then the blazing heat wave hit NYC making it hard to want to do anything other than be inside, the long July […]

My younger daughter has already stated that I’m preoccupied with this blog and have been ignoring her, my older daughter wants in on the action and hopes to get a guest writer’s spot one week, and my husband – well, he just had the day off. So I figured, why not include the whole family […]
