Admit it. Every year around this time we start writing down all the things we resolve to do by the end of the year. Lose weight. More money. Learn a new thing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having resolutions for the year. The key is making those resolutions manageable strategically. Oh, you thought IContinue reading “Resolutions”

This morning as I was looking for the right necklace to match my stay at home outfit (yes- I am one of those people), I came across a butterfly pin that made me pause. Mind you, I had seen this pin on many occasions while looking for the right accessory for the day. And usuallyContinue reading “Butterfly”

Where I am, there is snow on the ground and the temperature is a bit cold. Our teams are manning the antibody infusion tents for those with mild to moderate Covid19. These same team members are also getting their vaccines to protect their patients, colleagues, friends and family. So there appears to be hope onContinue reading “T’is the Season”

There is something about Sunday mornings. Whether I was on call or working from home or at a meeting or just home. Sundays felt like a reset. A day to take stock of last week and then plan for the new one. A day to reflect on what is going on in my life andContinue reading “Sunday Morning”

I was hanging up Christmas decorations at home and had my music tuned to, not holiday music, but Broadway show tunes. I love Broadway. And that includes the off Broadway productions – so I’ll say I love live theater. Sitting in the audience, excited, waiting for the curtains to open (if not already). The orchestraContinue reading “Broadway”

And the sky is gray. If you are of a certain age you are probably humming the song that these two sentences trigger. Yes, it’s not as bright and sunny in the Northeast as it was many weeks ago.

This morning I woke up to see gray skies and rain. What was interesting is that it didn’t make me feel gloomy at all. Rather I felt like a kid who gets to put on their raincoat and galoshes to jump around in a puddle. For me, I guess, my mental state needs to seeContinue reading “Rain”

I was in my kitchen going through the pantry and saw some bags of candy. My immediate thought was to make sure they were good enough for Halloween. Then I paused. Halloween will be different this year. My kids are older so it’s not an issue for our home (16, 17, 20) but I wasContinue reading “Trick or Treat”

I find myself “bumping” into old friends, colleagues and acquaintances either live or virtually. Recent events have made the last 12 months go by without the usual venues to connect and it sometimes is surprising to realize so much time has passed since the last encounter. The conversation usually starts off with “So when didContinue reading “Catching Up”

Let’s face it. There is no shortage of challenges that are dropped in front of us these days. It’s just the nature and timing that make some more difficult than others. And they don’t seem to wait for one challenge to leave your life before presenting themselves. Some of them are just not worthy ofContinue reading “Challenges”
