Sunday is Father’s Day. And like most of us who are missing our Dads, we would rather spend the day in quiet dread. We long for the day to disappear, where social media, and reminders of happy, zippy families are somewhere else.

All too often, it is those who we love – but who seem just beyond our fingertips – that we yearn for most of the time. My father, Norman, was a fashion designer, trained in Paris and London. He was a handsome man with British charm. But growing up, he was – so poised ..read more

For better or for worse, most of us who have been in a relationship is quite familiar with the so-called honeymoon phase—that early period when your romance feels like a whirlwind of no-holds-barred passion.

I love it because it’s a time to reflect on how lucky I am and how much I have to look forward to. It reminds me of all the good things in my life—the people who love me and care about me, the experiences I’ve had, and the things I still want to do. And at this time of year, it’s easy to get caught up in materialism: the gifts, the food, the parties—but those things can distract us from what matters: our relationships with each other. Acknowledge how lucky you are! Remember that whether you’re celebrating Hanukkah Christmas or both (or neither!), you’re surrounded by people who love and care a ..read more

Comedy relief is a must in times of intense and overwhelming news. Unfortunately, most networks have opted to remove comedic aspects from news broadcasts. It’s time for that to change.

It’s time to start over, continue, or do something new. I’m not much for making resolutions; I don’t think they work. But it’s time to set intentions for the coming year. What do you want to do? Where do you want to be? For me, it’s more about what I want to feel. Not how much money I want to make, not how many times I want to travel (Covid free). Instead, it’s a feeling of gratitude, fulfillment, and love. It may be just 12 minutes of your day but if you sit and meditate on each month ahead and visualize what you want it to look like, the Universe will bring in everything you need and want to ..read more
