Tell Your Story and Let It Go
I regularly read the musings of an entrepreneur, writer James Altucher. He seems to have a really good perspective and gives good advice. Here’s a short excerpt from the Post by James Altucher. How do you prepare for a good death? I think we live in four dimensions at the same time. The physical world, where we…

RIP To A True Artist: Oscar De La Renta
One of the things I loved to do when I was growing up was to watch fashion shows on TV during my weekends. I can’t remember the name of the show, but it was essentially a show of the latest runway fashions and a look at the designers. One of my all time favorite designers…

Fitness And the Over Forty Crowd
I’ve been so tired getting used to my new routine with full time work so I decided to try going to some evening workout classes instead of getting up super early in the AM. I’m not sure if I like working out so late in the day – I prefer to get it over with…

Have you had a chance to watch Jon Stewart’s brilliant response to Fox’s news coverage of Ferguson? I rarely post stuff about this sort of situation on my blog, but I really saw a different side of things after watching Jon Stewart and the Daily Show’s take on what is going on. I never really…

Being Less Judgmental Day to Day
I came across a blog post by one of my CrossFit friends who runs Craic in MA – and it enhanced a previous blog post I wrote last week – how not judging others is one of the hardest behaviors for so many of us to do. Think about all the ways you judge things in the course of a…
