The Art of Saying Thanks
I received a thank you gift today from a woman I really don’t know very well. I know she had no idea how significant her gift was or why I seemed so touched when I pulled it out of the gift bag. It was a book written by Carol Burnett called “This Time Together: Laughter ...

Julie & Julia
Nothing makes my day more than receiving a handwritten note in the mail. The fact that it came from an 8 year old not only touched me but makes me hopeful that our future is most definitely in good hands. Julia Schillaci is the young founder of Soap Prizes and the daughter of my friend, ...
Groundhogs and Chicks: Hell No-It Won’t Snow!
To say it’s been an unusual winter is certainly an understatement. Sixty degree days followed by plummeting temps and high winds. Back to fifty degrees the following week. No snow to speak of. Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early Spring and….well… the critter should be shot… that’s all I’m sayin’. The forecast this week calls for ...

According to our notes: a) Your absenteeism for the past several years is abominable. Showing up for work only one day a year is not accepted practice in our workplace, ...
“Heading” To An Airport Near You!
Wonderful! Now there is one more thing for me to obsess about when I fly the not-so-friendly skies. According to NBC News, it seems that authorities at Chicago O’Hare International Airport (which is scary enough to navigate through) is holding a shipment containing 18 human heads intended for anatomical research at a local facility. The ...
Too Cool for Coffee
I’ve always wanted to be a coffee drinker. Truthfully, I hate it! I tried it once in college to assist me with the ever-so-popular all-nighter, but to no avail. Too bitter for my tastes. My friends tell me that if you add enough– (fill in the blank)–, it will disguise the bitter taste and make ...
My 30 Day Photo Challenge- Must Love Voting!
The crowds at the polls today remind us that we have a voice. It is our priviledge and honor to use that voice so that we earn the opportunity to be part of the “conversation.” What do I love more than shoes? (Or in this case….boots!) Getting an out-of-the-blue (or could it be red?), spontaneous ...
30 Day Photo Challenge- Through my Eyes: View from the Stage
Friday’s picture was taken from the stage in the middle of my presentation. I was the keynote speaker for the SUNY Student Leadership Conference in Syracuse, NY. I told them about my 30 day challenge and they were more than happy to oblige. I call this shot– “A toast to our future” Disclaimer: The glasses ...
