2019-12-31
Happy New Year Group and cheers to you! My word for 2020 (and possibly the next couple of decades) is GO! Here is why…
Cheers to You!

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…
Kiss Me Kate and Shock Me Ural – Mixing it up with The Old and The New!
2019-04-22
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.
Go Ahead… Make Someone’s Day
2018-08-16
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…
Summer Reading (Jodi Picoult) Inspired by Social Media (Wolfgang2242)
2018-07-30
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…
Grab Your Group and GO to the Beach/Lake/Park…when everyone else is LEAVING
2018-07-16
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…
Grab some Sugar and Butter and MAKE MONKEY BREAD!
2018-07-11
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)…
Considering Your “Corner” Stores
2018-05-05
I am not sure why I had it in my head that the hair on my particular head was worthy of the top dollar prices I was paying for it’s maintenance. But I did get into this mindset, until one day I decided to try something new…
Grab your RENTED sweater, coat, dress, earrings, bag and GO!
2018-02-03
I confess, I am not a fan of shopping. Trolling through clothes on display at the store is like torture to me. Fortunately, I have found a solution…
9 Things I Learned From My Year of Yes
2017-12-30
To commemorate the final year of my 5th decade, I dubbed 2017 as my year of yes. I made a very deliberate choice to spend the year being open to every opportunity that was presented. The goal was to commit to more, to experience more and get out of my comfort zone more. It was, by far, my richest and most rewarding year yet…
When you’re Going to Grab Your Group… Who do you Grab?
2017-09-06
And… we’re back! Took a bit of a blogging break to grab some time with my family and friends as we careened towards summer’s finish line. Now I am back in the city, that if you can’t be inspired here you can’t be inspired anywhere, and I am ready to get back to it. But before I do, I want to offer a few words about what I mean by group…
Sit down Paddle Boarding for 18 Miles
2017-08-22
I did it! On Sunday morning, we left Montauk Point heading to Block Island. The paddle didn’t go exactly as planned, but I made it. This post is all about the final leg of my journey with Paddlers for Humanity and The Block Island Challenge…
18 Miles to Block Island on a Paddle Board? Sure! Grab your Paddle and GO.
2017-08-19
Tomorrow morning is the big paddle! At 7am me and my 72 new friends will be pushing off from the base of Montauk Lighthouse heading to Block Island. This post is all about how I got to this point…
ADOPT – Don’t Shop for Your Furry Group
2017-08-15
This post is by my friend and Grab Your Group and Go co-pilot Stacie. She may love dogs more than me. Nah that’s impossible… correction… She loves dogs AS MUCH as I do. Her family suffered a big loss this year, having to put own both of their labs within 4 months of each other. Keep reading to hear about her experience and what they are doing to move forward…
Scientific Proof that Grabbing Your Group and Going is a GOOD Idea
2017-08-04
I derive great joy in planning experiences for myself and my group. I equally enjoy experiencing those experiences and then reliving them fondly in conversation with family and friends…
