Honoring Martin Luther King, Jr.

3 Comments 16 January 2012

Growing up, Martin Luther King, Jr. and I would often share a birthday, and I felt a special connection to him, and not just because I got the day off. His words struck me; even in my grammar school days, I remember hearing his speech and being curious why he had to say he had [...]

I’ve worked for over a decade with clients who make “January” or “Monday” or the beginning of a new month, their [...]

No Such Thing as “Luck” – A Short Story I Wanted to Share

No Comments 26 January 2011

I was speaking with a gentleman today, and he mentioned that his wife was looking to go back to work for extra money, but she needs something very flexible. I suggested perhaps she start a business out of her hobbies or passions, and he said it sounded nice if “she was lucky enough” that it [...]

The Case of Jenn vs. The Realist

It was kind of a cold office- not temperature wise, just the energy. There were book shelves, but the books didn’t seem to have life in them. I felt like if I picked them up, on the inside there would be no pages. I just couldn’t get a read. I had to meet with a [...]

Yesterday we had a family party. The Little Man (aka the Mayor) went up to everyone, shook hands, said hello. He ran around- up and down, back and forth chatting away.  And, LuLu, was such a “big girl”. She played the drums on Wii Rock Band, sat proudly with her Nonni and Poppi eating her [...]

We had such a beautiful weekend at Kenmare School in Jersey City. The weather was divine, the leaves starting to turn to orange and brown. I think it’s the change of seasons that signals us to take a look at our lives, and figure out where we want to create some change of our own. [...]

Birds in Flight and Questioning If Life Can Be Effortless?

2 Comments 27 September 2010

Lately I’ve been really watching the birds fly, a lot. This morning I happened to catch a glimpse of one gliding just a few feet in front of me, and I marveled at the way it just seemed effortless and carefree. Many people equate flying or soaring with “success”, but I think it’s more than [...]

LuLu asked me if she could begin ballet classes. This made me recall an incident in a coffee shop years ago where I overheard some mothers talking in front of their daughters about ballet photos. One mother warned the other, “Make sure you pay the extra $10 to airbrush your daughter’s fly-away hair and skin. [...]
