Trading Likes for Love

July 22, 2015August 17, 2016Leave a comment

Not everyone is going to like you. *They* say that’s true. That’s the lesson we learn in early childhood at the sandbox, on the playground, when the birthday party invitations come (or don’t). You can’t please everyone. Same idea, different packaging when justifying life choices to family, maybe satisfying coworkers or bosses, how you dress, … Continue reading Trading Likes for Love

Happy Birthday: Being Lucky in Love

July 12, 2015November 21, 2017Leave a comment

I woke up this morning officially another year older, hopefully wiser and definitely grateful. The week-long build-up to today has made me feel so loved and appreciated it is beyond words. I started off believing that this was not a year to celebrate. That because personally, it was a “difficult year” and things were “challenging” … Continue reading Happy Birthday: Being Lucky in Love

New Year Renewed Love Activity Gifts

December 30, 2012March 28, 20133 Comments

December 26th I walked into my local CVS and what did I see on the shelves replacing candy-canes and holiday cards–Valentines sweets and greetings up and down the aisles. The cynic in me was shocked and appalled at this hyper display of consumerism. The Christmas pots still soaking in my sink, New Years plans still … Continue reading New Year Renewed Love Activity Gifts

10 Films About Love: Movie Gifts

November 29, 20122 Comments

This video made me incredibly happy when I saw it posted on Facebook, so I had to share, but it also got me thinking about my all-time favorite movies about love… and not storybook love.  Love as it really is–unpolished, messy, often tragic, doesn’t always end perfectly, but sometimes is better than you could have … Continue reading 10 Films About Love: Movie Gifts

Unique Gifts for the Love of Your Life

October 27, 2012November 3, 20125 Comments

The romantic love of my life was born on Halloween so it’s fast approaching. Every year it’s so hard to identify a gift that illustrates how much he means to me… How when he came into my life it debunked (much to my then dismay) all my firmly held beliefs about relationships… How much he … Continue reading Unique Gifts for the Love of Your Life

Fan Girl Love: Pop Star Gifts

September 12, 2012September 24, 20122 Comments

The Voice and X-Factors debuted their season this week and presumably Idol will soon follow. Other than the singing, what do they all have in common? Former pop star queens making up part of the the judging panels (did anyone notice Britney get announced AFTER Simon last night as the “headliner” and X-F clearly became … Continue reading Fan Girl Love: Pop Star Gifts

I Love New York: Gifts For My City

September 11, 2012September 13, 2012Leave a comment

9/11 in New York is always a little different. Even the hustle and bustle of midtown seems a bit slower, people come to work a little later as they shuffle in from memorials and by work the pace picks up a bit more but the tone is still somber. We are acutely reminded of our … Continue reading I Love New York: Gifts For My City

Difficult Confession: The Vicious Bullying Cycle

August 15, 2016August 16, 2016Leave a comment

I have a difficult confession to make. One I am ashamed about. But one that I think is important. I have been on multiple sides of the bullying issue.

Reminder Reflections: 8 Lessons Remembered From Last Year

July 24, 2016Leave a comment

Since July happens to be the start of my “new year,” summer has come to be a reflection point for me. As I reflect on the last year, I have to say as I get older I have gotten better at celebrating and being celebrated. I just finished a business book about cultivating teams and collaboration. One of … Continue reading Reminder Reflections: 8 Lessons Remembered From Last Year

Some Gifts Leave You Speechless

July 5, 2015August 18, 20161 Comment

My daughter was almost two when I became pregnant with my son. She was curious and fiery, sassy and sharp, creative and snuggly, and (although I may be biased) strikingly beautiful with her fair porcelain complexion that could sprinkle with freckles in even a drop of sunlight, red curls framing her face and hazel blue … Continue reading Some Gifts Leave You Speechless
