Give Yourself the Gift of Dance

Everybody's giving gifts this time of year, right?  The wine you bring to the Holiday Party or maybe the fruitcake - yuck! (with apologies to fruitcake lovers).  Giving to family members-better than underwear- receiving the temperature fork that you have five of...

Hail to the all powerful blog!

Ok, so I get a little dramatic.  Last week I was reminded of how powerful the internet and blogs can be.  First, let me give you a little background.   If you haven’t read “The Thank You Economy” by Gary Vaynerchuck, check it out.  In the last 20 years, most consumers...

Fall Cleaning

I find it fascinating how we or at least I continue patterns learned growing up; they almost become instinctive.  My mother always did her fall cleaning before the high holidays and spring cleaning before Passover.  Over the last week, I found myself just naturally...

Failure and Fear the kick in the butt duo!

Seth Godin recently did a blog about the flip side in which he stated that if failure is not an option then there is no innovation.  It reminds me of the adage that states a blind man will never know darkness. We need the polar extremes to project us forward.  We need...

“F” in multitasking

Sorry to all you texter, app users out there but you are lousy at multitasking no matter what you believe and even more you are lousy at interpersonal relationships!  Ok, there I’ve had my rant! I was sitting in the movies and could see the cell phone light as someone...
