Can Journal-Keeping Save You?

I became a journal keeper by accident. I was 30 years old, sitting in a windowless cubicle at work, unhappy. My in-box was piled with two feet of paper, layouts, project folders, and message slips. The phone rang incessantly. I had to do something fast. I considered walking out the front door when I spotted a white stenographer’s notebook. I picked […]

How To Have a No-Sweat Christmas

This will be my 36th Christmas as a married woman and I have to admit, ten years ago I was resentful.  This holiday was all about material stuff and deadlines and ornaments and work. Then I smartened up. Now I know women who love this holiday and do it to perfection.  Their homes would make […]

Recently, I was at my mailbox when I heard the familiar low rumble of a school bus. I stood watching it drive past. A young female driver sat behind the wheel, map in hand, learning her route before school begins. I waved and she waved back, giving a bright smile. I’ve always had a soft […]

Why I Can’t Watch the “Long Island Medium”

(Full disclosure: My husband Randy rolled his eyes so much at this post, I almost didn’t run it. However times– and deadlines — being what they are, I decided to go for it.) A few weeks ago I made the mistake of watching “Long Island Medium.” Oh my God. Never again. I’m just not good with […]
