I gave a talk this past week to 55 people. Most people gave me good reviews; a friend said he didn’t think I shared my true self or my passion.He wanted me to do a better job of revealing myself to the audience. He felt disappointed that they didn’t get to know “me.” Two days […]

Today another young man in my children’s school took his life. (This is not the first, and it is the second that my daughter has known well.) Some people on Facebook were commenting on this tragedy…we were trying to understand why children feel the need to take their lives. There never seems a good reason.

Trust is an interesting thing. Once it’s gone, it’s very difficult to regain. If you lose it, it’s difficult to find. When you stop trusting someone-for whatever reason, you tend to put up a wall to protect yourself…or at least I do. Then I have to really work at letting them back in. They have
More than one source has said that the world has entered a crucial time, a period when things seem to be falling apart or coming to an end. However, sometimes things have to fall apart before they can be put back together in a new form, a better organization. Has your life ever felt as

My recent trip back to home, as well as to Syracuse University, where I earned my degree in magazine journalism, Westchester County, where I took my first two jobs right after college, and New York City, where I worked prior to leaving New York State for good, left me thinking about the path I have

Driving today in my old stomping grounds brought back so many memories…Amazing what a trip down a few roads and highways triggers in your brain. A trip down memory lane… Memories of old friends, and times spent together. Memories of drives taken, and lovers come and gone. Memories of first jobs, and old flames. And

It’s been a wild 10 days or so. My daughter and I discovered that her early decision application required that she show up in NYC for a portfolio review at New York University. She sent in her application on October 31. We called the university on November 2 and found out we had to be

Just as the termites and beetles are consuming the wood on my house, life has been consuming me…or at least my time. I’m frustrated by the fact that work, kids (and their needs), physical therapy for my knee, and a variety of other things are taking up all my time and attention, leaving me little

This past weekend I attended a memorial for a friend’s wife. I recently wrote about Tofah’s passing in another blog post. The memorial provided a truly beautiful testimonial to a life well lived, and I was struck not only by the good she had done in the world but by the lovely lessons she and

Did you ever feel like life was conspiring against you? It’s like that often unfinished adage about the best laid plans… I feel that ever since I returned from my seven week stay in New York City, it matters very little what I plan, life conspires to change those plans. In the process, my work

Today I read a blog post about the death of director John Hughes. (I know, I’m on a bit of a morbid roll…) It was written by an acquaintance of mine, Kevin Smokler. (You can read it here.) I wasn’t aware that Hughes had directed so many of the films of my youth, but one

In more than one mystical tradition, we are told that we know everything there is to know prior to being born into a physical body. We even know it while in utero. Then, once our little bodies make their way down through the birth canal and into the world, we forget all that knowledge and
