For years I've seen The Natural Singer course offered at Kripalu, Omega and The Open Center in NYC. For years I've thought, maybe another time. On Saturday, another time arrived. I signed up for the one day session here in my backyard. The course promises: Find...
I got tipped off recently that there's a resource for New Yorkers of a certain age. It's called Senior Planet. Yesterday I attended my first workshop there (at no cost) to improve my navigation on youtube. Like most of you, I'm a veteran user. But, like any...
My chiropractor introduced me to audio recordings back in the early 80's. I've been a fan ever since. First motivational tapes (yes, tapes), then books on tape, CD's and now mp3's and podcasts. What recently made the experience even better was my purchase of a Bose...
Since last December, I've been telling every woman I know about my experience with Mama Gena (MG). I now have the opportunity to share her brilliance with you. But first a bit of background for those of you I haven't personally mentioned her to. Late last year,...
...when I'm alone. I loved school and still thrive in an environment surrounded by others, especially a patient instructor. But, left to my own devices, learning at home without an instructor, I revert to infancy. I want someone standing over my shoulder directing...
As I further navigate the journey to publication, I find that continuing to do readings of excerpts from my memoir is invaluable. I had my 8th one today at a friend's home in Connecticut. She had previously attended a reading I gave in Sarasota a month ago and...
Although my APPO MasterClass 2018 coaching was nearly two weeks ago, the residual joy and thrill are still with me. The leaders of the nearly decade-old organization tasked me with spending two days facilitating a pre-conference intensive that would take 15 of its...
I attended The Heart of Kripalu weekend in the Berkshires last Friday through Sunday and was fortunate to have Sam Chase, Stephen Cope and Maria Sirois share their wisdom. Kripalu has created a program called RISE that helps frontline employees reduce stress and...
I snuck out of work early last Wednesday to attend a special showing of Jesus Hopped the A Train, a play by Stephen Adly Guirgis, sponsored by TDF (Theatre Development Fund). I was invited by my good friend Holly Cohen who is a Trustee with the organization. This...
I get so much out of attending the Entrepreneurial Women's Club (EWC) in Stamford, CT that I don't even mind the commute from NYC that I make once a month. The October lunch was an great example of why I choose to attend. I was picked up at the train station by the...
I know there are classes you can take to pump out your book in a week, a fortnight, or "6-weeks to writing your bestseller." I had all that optimism when I enrolled in Ann Randolph's Take Your Story to the Stage in June, 2014 at Kripalu. Three-plus years later, I'm...
As a member of the Women's Media Group (WMG) I was invited to contribute a 30-minute mentoring session to one of our youngest members who are college interns. It was my great pleasure to meet Mumtahinah Ahmed, a rising Senior at City College of NY (CCNY) a couple...
If you want to be where it's happening, put the MOCCA Fest on your calendar for next year. It's a spirited gathering featuring an 'incredibly dynamic creative community of comic and cartoon artists' held in mid-Manhattan. MOCCA stands for Museum of Comic and...
It’s not everyday you get to see a presidential motorcade. I hadn’t planned to yesterday, but en route to attend a lunch with an organization I just joined, the Women’s Media Group, I stumbled upon Obama’s visit to the UN. I’d gotten off the N train at 49th and 7th...
I didn't know when I met Dave at the multiplex on Monday that I'd get a blog post out of it. As I normally do, I charged my ticket so that I'd have a receipt in order to claim the deduction. I saw his raised eyebrow and explained that when I'm in a learning...
