Coulda. Shoulda. Woulda.
Please tell me I’m not the only one who still says that to myself.
I assumed by this time in life I would achieve some serenity and settle into a sort of ….wise woman place.
I guess in a way I have. I’ve wised up enough to know I might never wise up.
Serenity anytime soon [...]
Are there still any BMOC? Translated: Big Men On Campus—and it’s not just the acronym that’s dated. If you saw the front page of the New York Times Sunday Style section, you know the shift in the student population (almost 60% female) has shifted social life on campus. At many places, there aren’t [...]
I’ve got a problem with numbers and the year 2010 is part of it.
My problem goes beyond what to call the last decade. My problem is where it went.
I remember 2000. The night we entered the new millenium I held tight to my kids’ hands, in the middle of a huge crowd in Los Angeles [...]
For anyone who didn’t get why I’m dumping George Clooney for Alec Baldwin.…if you see the movie you will get what I SEE in Alec….ALL of it.
Maybe the box office won’t challenge Avatar, already the fourth biggest hit of ALL TIME. But hopefully this movie will convince Alec not to abandon acting; and will convince [...]
The Bucket List is way beyond the movie; it’s part of the lexicon, part of life—-the things you want to do before you die.
Lately it seems as if everyone and his dog has a Bucket List. Which is great. Up to a point.
There’s a place where the Buck(et) Stops. Where the [...]

Instead of trying to have what you want, try to want what you have.
I love that saying; It sounds so nice.
But I always wanted what YOU have.
Whether it’s bigger (your bank account)
Or smaller (your waistline)
Whether you have more ( knowledge)
Or less (clutter)
When I had an exciting life with lots of drama—I felt jealous of everyone [...]
What’s not to love?
He has it all. He’s politically correct, witty, speaks Italian, beloved by Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts and all the women I know—who would line up to give him their hand in marriage or their vote for president or their firstborn child.
I was always at the front of that line—and I’ll line [...]
Seems like old times…..a replay of my dream that came true…..
The house at night filled with kids crowded into the kitchen….greeting me with big smiles and big hugs….the sounds of boisterous boys……tromping up the back stairs to Daniel’s room…..waking up to a lazy Sunday morning….. making a big breakfast ……Daniel stretched out on the couch [...]
Possibly I”m one of the last people on the planet to hear about Jill Bolte Taylor. I didn’t read her book, or watch her with Oprah, or see the video of her talk at TED that went viral. I didn’t know that in 2008, TIME Magazine named her one of the 100 Most Influential People [...]
Life is short; eat dessert first.
As a breast cancer survivor, I’ve always followed that rule.
Life is short. I feel amazingly lucky just to be here; to be alive; blessed by extra time I didn’t expect to have—so far, 14 years and counting.
