We’ve all been there. Those weeks where work is all consuming. You finally get home and you need something to help you mentally unwind a bit. Perhaps, a guilty pleasure?   

No surprises this year. And I get spend part of it with two of the three moms in my life. You see I enjoy two moms; not of the Heather has two variety but it would be okay if that were the case. One I share with my brother Richy and our step-bro Jeff, whose dad, since passed, married our mom. Richy and I share with Rob, his mom Jean and our late dad. Mom Phyllis (Pic from her reaching 3/4 at left.) lives in Florida (Her gift arrived yesterday.).

I met David in 2005, at a Commerce Group meeting.  We hit it off immediately, passing notes on our phones, making bad jokes, until Fred had to school us.  From that first meeting onwards, he adopted me as his mentee, invited me to various events, Gotham Queens, the Havana Club, etc.  He also introduced me to Steve Lichtenstein – someone I was terrified of approaching, because I was in awe of him.

The other day a guided meditation asked me to consider the teachers in my life.As I focused on my breathing, I searched for the single person who stood out in my mind as being nurturing, encouraging and a guide on my journey.I searched my memory bank and on

If you are ready to hear Bob Dylan’s songs delivered masterfully, beautifully, and harmoniously, run to see it.  Bob Dylan, considered by many, to be the best American songwriter of the last 60 years has a significant catalogue of songs that covers just about every feeling and issue  people experience.  

A colleague and I were recently talking about the “old days.” Back in the day, we would leave the office at 5:00 on a Friday night and could not be reached again until Monday morning when we returned to the office. During those days, our weekends belonged to us.   

Shhhhh, don’t tell my mom.  With Mother’s Day coming up, my sister and I put our heads together to come up with a meaningful gift for mom.  She’s had a rough time lately and we were hoping to come up with something that might give her a lift.
