As this is my summer of self-care, I’ve set the intention to practice yoga at least three times a week. So far, I’ve been twice this week, so I’m on my way. On Monday, as I was walking to the studio, I noticed this sign in a patch of green and wood chips on the […]
…love …care …??? Today is Monday, July 1. Beginning of the week. Beginning of a new month. Beginning of the second half of the year. And the beginning of the summer of self for me. I’m very clear that this is not about being selfish. In fact, it’s about me being more giving, more generous. […]
I knew I had to do it today. I had to get back to the gym. It’s amazing how the excuses creep in day after day. And the funny thing is, I love going to the gym. I love the feeling of taking care of my body. I pride myself on my ability to inspire […]

Now it’s the five (or more) pounds New Yorkers gained during and after Hurricane Sandy. Think about it: anxiety, stress, desperation, boredom. Yes, indeed, food […]

At What’s Working Now Live, Max Simon spoke not only about time management, he also discussed energy management. How do you go about your day? Who are you being in the world? Max […]
This past Sunday, most of the United States “fell back” into Standard Time. At 2:00am local time, the clocks got turned back one hour, making it 1:00am (again). Ah, an “extra” hour to stay in bed. Who wouldn’t want that? For some individuals, the desire to stay in bed is overwhelming. This, combined with other […]
This is one of my favorite times of year – the “playoffs” to get into the National Hockey League playoffs and have an opportunity to play for the coveted Stanley Cup. The New York Rangers always seem to find themselves in a fight for a playoff spot and it often comes down to a mathematical […]
