Thankfulness
Over the past few
weeks, my husband has taken on the project of organizing all the old pictures
he has lying around and while doing so has unlocked a pandora’s box of his
past. Reading old letters, he
reminisced about the vigor and passion we have about the future and the dreams
that lie ahead of us when we are naïve; not just young, but unmarred by the
realities of work and adult life ... naïve.
As we spoke, I realized...

Years ago I decided it was time to shake life up. Turn it
upside down. Try something unexpected. Do something new. So I did the bravest thing I could
think of….I decided to leave my job (without having anything else lined up) and
go live in Sicily for a few months.
OK – maybe not really life changing but for me, this was BIG. It was somewhat rash. I gave a quick
few thoughts to the pros and cons – OK, not really – and...

On my way home from work Monday I noticed the price of flowers had gone up. Perhaps New York is one of the few places one can buy a dozen roses of assorted pastel colors at almost any corner deli, I'm not sure. I've always remained partial to the good old-fashioned red, white and pink ones but was somehow sad even to see the purple and blue roses had become so expensive.My subsequent journey to Washington Square Park for a...

This Tuesday April 24th
saw the launch of The Seven Pearls of Financial Wisdom: A Woman's Guide to
Enjoying Wealth and Power, a "pioneering" (as described by The Wall Street Journal) book that addresses a gap in the literature
about money management and investing. The gap, as you may have surmised, is one
into which a vast and growing population of education women have fallen.
It is not enough to go to
school, receive advanced degrees...

For some
people, this last week was one of the holiest on the calendar wrapping up a
period of traditions and religious rituals from Palm Sunday to Passover. Yet
for others, like me, our high holy days begin on Friday, April 13th. Tomorrow,
the gates of that grand cathedral in the Bronx swing open welcoming
approximately 50,000 plus fans to bear witness to an annual rite of passage.
‘Tis the day of the New York Yankees’ first home game...

For years my grandfather
would begin our Passover Seder by proclaiming "this holiday marks the
first independence day recorded by man.” I am pretty sure he never made this
declaration sitting in front of a plate of chicken parmigiana.
Passover begins on
the 15th day of the Jewish month of Nissan in the Jewish calendar - April 6th
this year - which usually coincides with Easter, spring break, the start of
baseball season and first...

Opening Day for the 2012
Major League Baseball is April 4th and as a fan of our National
Pastime I am ready to welcome back our old friend.
I love baseball. I have
a passion for watching baseball, listening to baseball, reading about it,
talking about it. When I was younger I had a passion for playing it. I was
given my first baseball glove when I was four years old and I didn’t vacate the
diamond until into my college years. I’ve...

Every New Yorker I know is deeply grateful for the open spaces we have in this city. Yes, in many respects NYC is indeed a concrete jungle and there are many neighborhoods that are only just beginning to benefit from new "green" initiatives (Bensonhurst, East Harlem, the South Bronx). But on the whole, we are very lucky. We have several large public parks (Central, Prospect, the entire Island of Statten…) and many many little green...

Following a brief
interlude in Los Angeles, I returned to New York City in my early thirties on a
mission to accelerate my career and to meet my husband. With curious
determination, I persuaded a girlfriend of mine to join me for a holiday party
where I met a lovely, kind of awkward and a little shy, but also arrogant and
strangely attractive guy. Three weeks later we spent a delightful evening
at Annisa restaurant in the West...
