This is the second year that I was a finalist in the Stevie Awards for Women competition. And, this was the second year that I did not win. Does that make me angry? No not really. Well, maybe a little. I mean, who doesn’t like to win! Interestingly, I noticed...
Am I Still A Kid?
I feel like a kid but do I look like a kid? When I go shopping with my daughter, 9 times out of 10, someone will say to us, "are you sisters?" That always puts a smile on my face because sometimes, I feel a little embarrassed to say her...
A Runner’s Diary: The First 5K
After training with my friend Marti for the past month, we decided to sign up for the Richard Brodsky AIDS and Cancer Race. The 5K race took place in Oceanside, New York, at the Oceanside Park. As soon as Marti sent me the information, I sent it in with a...
Post Election Day Blues…
It's not that I'm angry or upset about the outcome of yesterday's election, what gets me upset is the way the voting is now being done. Last year when I went to vote, I was enclosed in a big machine with lots of names and levers. I would push down...
The Stolen Pumpkin And Much More…
Call me naive, but I am shocked at what has happened this week. First, I was in the city wearing my leather jacket. I bought the jacket in Colorado a few years back and it didn't fit me for the longest time. When I tried it on this past week,...

Why Do Fashionable Shoes Hurt So Bad?
Jimmy Choo, Stuart Weizman, Ferragamo, and Robert Clergere are just a few of the different brands of shoes I love to wear. When Jildor or DSW are having a sale, my heart starts to throb and the next thing I know, I’m in my car driving to the store. Like...
The Amazing Corn Maze?
After running seven miles this morning, I came home and my family told me that they wanted to go walk through the corn maze at the Queens County Farm Museum, New York City's only working farm. How bad could that be? I thought. We'll be in and out of there...
Can Facebook Bring A Relationship Together?
The other day I posed a question on my Facebook status update. I asked my friends if they thought that Facebook brings personal relationships together or apart. I got a tremendous mixed response! Some people said Facebook brings relationships together, but they didn't mean personal relationships. They were talking about...
