Singing for Spring

No I won’t actually make you sing, I was just referring to the song in my heart this glorious morning (although feel free to belt out a tune if that’s what you feel!) We’ve waited so long for this day – The Spring Equinox. A time of beginnings and renewals. The perfect day to write…

Put a Spring in Your Step

There’s no denying that Spring is on the horizon. In NYC, we thought it would never come but our unusual east coast patience is paying off. Beautiful sunny days are squeezed between snow flurries and there’s no ignoring the excitement on everyone’s rush hour faces when it’s still daylight at 6pm. Hooray Daylights Savings Time!…

No smoking please

It may be a strange thing to be talking about smoke alarms on the eve of Thanksgiving. Or maybe not. When I saw this product in a magazine recently, I was intrigued by its beauty but thought to myself, “Ok, but does it really work?” When I visited the Nest website and watched this video,…

Give and Take at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Having been a former graphic designer, I’m was sad when I found out that The Metropolitan Museum of Art will no longer be issuing their colorful metal buttons on admission. Wasn’t it nice to guess what color it was going to be and then hearing the “clink” when you dropped it into the plastic box…

Protect your Noggin

Have you gotten around yet to rent and ride a Citibike? Ok, I know the weather has been less than cooperative with its stifling jungle-like weather, but things should be cooling down hopefully this weekend. Just in time to hop on a bike! But please, please, please, remember to wear a helmet. Biking is great…

Monastic Sunday (lots of pix!)

The craziness and the humidity of the city had us seeking out quiet and solace. We went to visit some friends upstate and took advantage of visiting the Chuang Yen Monastery in Kent NY. We were so happy we did. We were surrounded by quiet and beauty. Our main goal was to visit the “Giant…

More exciting news for NYC! This Memorial Day, our long awaited biking program began. Thanks to Citibike, that means that 6,000 new bikes for rent will be put into action. Perfect for the upcoming summer days when riding the underground heat box (aka: the subway) is a drag. Bike riding is great for saving time…
