“If you can dream it, you can do it.” ~Walt Disney Dear Universe, Today I had the opportunity to attend a luncheon where a panel of three artists would be speaking and sharing their work. In attendance? A sculptor, a filmmaker and a writer—each successful in her field. They took turns offering perspectives on how they work, what inspires them …
A Different Kind of March Madness
Dear Universe, Typically, I dread March. Anyone who knows me well knows it. If I’m having an off day, I’ll usually get that sympathetic look and the reassurance that it’s just March rearing it’s blah on me. I think it’s because, to me anyway, it feels the month drags on in molasses like slow motion for all 31 days with …
Back to the Future… Again
Dear Universe, Maybe it’s the whole jumping forward an hour for daylight’s savings last week or maybe it’s just the mid-March blues, but lately I’ve had one thing on my mind again. The future. It might be because the semester is halfway through so all around work colleagues are buzzing: What are your plans for the summer? The next school …
A Different Kind of Magic…
“Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” ~Roald Dahl Dear Universe, Halfway through March, already? I wish I could say I have made progress these last couple of weeks, that I have gotten into a productive routine, but I’m still not back where I’d like to be. Well, maybe there is one nugget of progress? About a …
Fairy Festivities
Dear Universe, This weekend I attended a birthday party for my best friend’s daughter. I found myself feeling as I usually do when I go to one of my friend’s parties: in awe. My best friend is a woman of many talents. One of them is party planner extraordinaire. I’ve never seen a celebration she’s planned that isn’t creative, fun …
Desperate Times…
Dear Universe, Today I was reminded of a time not too long ago when I was desperate to change the negative energy around me, desperate for a reprieve from the overwhelming stresses I was dealing with. I was doing all I could to stay positive, keep my head up and all that, but it wasn’t making much of a difference. …
Cuppa Tea
Dear Universe, Elation! I finally found a good cup of tea and scones. I can’t take all the credit. No, my British obsession and high tea hopes have caught on to all those around me. Was I being that obvious? The place: Alice’s Tea Cup, New York City. The tea: So many to choose from, but I went with the …
March, Already?
Dear Universe, How is it already March 1st? The last couple of weeks have felt like a whirlwind. Such a whirlwind in fact, that I can’t even explain where the time has gone. What have I been doing? I don’t like that I can’t answer that. I need to get back in a routine where I am more balanced and …
