When eating bamboo sprouts, remember the man who planted them. ~ Chinese Proverb Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. ~ William Arthur Ward For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For […]
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 […]
Have you noticed? Have you seen? Everywhere you look it’s an epidemic of mediocrity. With the endless parade of me-too events and offers. From folks who think it’s good enough to copy what everyone else is doing. To roll out the old marketing Xerox machine. And launch cookie cutter events that leave you uninspired. Just […]

Sleep is vital to our well-being. Do you remember your mother or father putting you to bed as a young child, telling you it was important to get a good night of sleep? Indeed, they were not only right, they were setting you up for a healthy life. Our bodies NEED the hours of sleep […]
The food court at Woodbury Commons doesn’t offer many options for a gluten-free, vegan like me. I did have a Pure Bar to eat as a backup, but thought I was safe with a plate of black beans and vegetables (what I ate a year ago while taking a break from shopping). As I approached […]
I turned the page of Sunday’s (7/24/2011) New York Times and almost couldn’t believe what I was reading. An ad for New York Sports Clubs (of which I am a member) that screamed: your sexual orientation can’t stop you from getting married but your body can. Yes, it was the first day that gay couples […]
