I vividly remember Dr. Julie White report on studies of female behavior in an audio series I listened to years ago, especially this morning in a moment of self-doubt. When given an insoluble puzzle to complete, the women involved in the study blamed...
I left for my annual Kushi Conference this afternoon--4 days in Basking Ridge, NJ with like-minded people being served delicious vegetarian fare, attending lectures, cooking classes and social events in a peaceful, offsite location. Since giving up my car when I...
I stopped by my new AAA office to pick up a map and guidebook for a friend only to discover that my membership had expired. I was assigned a Travel Counselor and went through the renewal process with him. On inquiring about what happened to my status, I mentioned...
I got to tag along with my daughter Lindsey last week when she was a featured speaker at the Joe Connolly-CBS Business Breakfast in Mahwah, NJ. In my humble opinion, she was the star of the panel on "How to Use Social Media, Etc." I was extremely proud of her as...
I first received money for my artwork the summer of 1970. My co-designer, Noonie Shear, and I were encouraged by our Professor/Producer, Jim Cavanaugh, to display and sell our pen and ink drawings for patrons during the premiere season of the Mount Holyoke College...
It wasn't until I had received three pieces of information that I made the decision to submit my writing to the Huffington Post. 1. I heard Arianna Huffington speak at the Women's Summit back in March. I totally fell in love with her and her message. What an...

There's much to report about the the Better After 50 (BA50) event I exhibited at yesterday, but the highlight for me was meeting Marci Alboher, the keynote speaker. It happens that she is a highly regarded colleague of both my daughter Lindsey and my brother Andy...
I've now clocked 6+ hours on LinkedIn and am looking for ways to challenge myself and go deeper (suggestions welcome). I created a subgroup of Connectors - 259 people from my connections (out of close to 800) who have 500+ connections themselves. I am deducing that...
I put in my second hour this week towards my committed 3 hours a week dedicated to working LinkedIn. What's different now than ever before is my attitude. I really want to do this. It's no longer, "I know I should..." I want to! I created a folder in Outlook for...
