Watch the Flight Attendants

Christine Jacobs

My first airplane flights were very uneasy times. I was afraid to move out of my seat for fear of tilting the plane. And the noises!!! With every creak or a flap change or sense of turbulence I would grab the armrests and hold my breath. Observe the Experts How did I get over this phobia? By watching the flight … Continue reading →

Flip the Scipt

Not a script written for you in which you are merely acting a part, but a script that you can write and rewrite to suit who you are as an individual and what role you want to play. You get to choose the cast … Continue reading →

BYOV

Janet Walkow

Be Your Own Valentine -2012 Edition Growing up, Valentines Day was barely a blip on my family’s radar. It amounted to a quick peck on the check and a hug.

Just a Bad Hair Day?

Janet Walkow

One morning last week, I looked out the window only to see that the city was fogged in. I was viewing from the 19th floor and could barely see the ground. The buildings and trees were hidden by the haze. I threw on my jacket to take my dog for a walk. When the Fog Rolled In When we returned … Continue reading →

Let Me Call You Sweetheart

Christine Jacobs

…..NOT This week when NJ Governor Christie did not like a question put to him by a woman at a Romney rally he responded: You know, something may go down tonight, but it ain’t going to be jobs, sweetheart. He followed up with a clear cogent comment, but why make a snotty gender-focused comment first? Call … Continue reading →

Make 2012 Your Year

Janet Walkow

It’s early in the new year and it’s already started – continuous ads and gimmicks for getting back in shape, losing weight, quitting a bad habit, becoming more organized, overcoming financial challenges & debt and appreciating friends and family. Don’t get me wrong. These are all laudable and customary areas to enhance, but will they provide a way for you … Continue reading →
