This is my stance on the last two years and my hopes for all of us in 2022. For this family, 2021 had a grim start and has had a grim ending. I would really like to be done with grim. For 2022 how about we have less grim and more VIM? Continue Reading
Over the summer a good friend of a good friend of mine asked me if our New Year’s Day car accident changed the way I live my life. The question, over a cocktail, kinda stopped me in my tracks. I jumbled my reply with some trite and unoriginal answer. Sorry Tracy! Here’s my real answer…Continue Reading
Welcome Back from Summer! I hope you savored every second of fun with friends, family, and grabbed some quiet and introspective times for yourself. Hope you enjoy this quick post about a recent proud Mom moment…Continue Reading
For those of us who live in NYC, the city IS the star of all of our shows. We are all the supporting actors. I for one look forward to being back in the city soon in support of it and all it has to offer. Who is ready to support Broadway with me? Continue Reading
What a winsome aphorism! So many syllables, fun to say, and a trifle tricky to spell. What pops into your brain when you envision this term? Continue Reading
Happy Valentine’s Day group! Hug the ones you love – they are the one’s that matter. 💕 Continue Reading
On the morning of January 1st 2021 I asked my daughter if I could borrow her hot pink Canada Goose coat for skiing. She generously agreed with the caveat that I not trash it. My retort? Margaux if I trash your coat I think we might have more serious problems than your coat…Continue Reading
One of my goals for 2021 was to get back to blogging. Turns out 2021 had different ideas for me, but more on that later..Continue Reading
Happy New Year Group and cheers to you! My word for 2020 (and possibly the next couple of decades) is GO! Here is why…Continue Reading
I wrote the following post for my theater group newsletter. I had so many people comment on the email that I wanted to share it with all of you…Continue Reading
As I navigate this path called life I am always looking for clues, patterns and ideas for life satisfaction (beside petting as many dogs as I can on one day). I have many thoughts on this matter, but will focus on one life lesson in this post. I had an epiphany during my exercise class this morning. Continue Reading
The other day at lunch my friend Diane was excited to announce, “Ooh Linda, I have to tell you a story. You inspired me!” Of course I was going to be happy to hear whatever she had to say, but sometimes that sentence is met with equal parts trepidation and hopeful curiosity on my part… Continue Reading
In 2007/2008 (eeh gads… ten years ago!) I went through a major Jodi Picoult phase. I devoured every book she had written on the very same lawn chair from whence I type today. I loved her CSI approach on topics that were “ripped from the headlines” and how she braided fictional stories around true and life shattering events…Continue Reading
As I made my way to the beach with my group the other night just after 5pm, there was a cavalcade of happy beach goers laden down with various beach accoutrements trudging in the opposite direction of my arrival tide. They were sandy and ruddy from the sun and the good cheer of a day well spent at the beach. But they were leaving. Which is why I was arriving…Continue Reading
Today, on my kid’s fourteenth birthday, I woke up early to treat the birthday twins and their delighted assembled friends to a Monkey Bread Breakfast (with a side of fruit to compensate for the less than healthy merits of the main dish)…Continue Reading
