Holiday Hoopla
Are you ready? Yikes! I can’t believe that Christmas is in less than 7 days. I only just got my three live trees decorated this past weekend. I actually scaled back from last year. I’m down to a total of five trees including one glass and one permanent (a nice term for fake) from last…
The Holiday Habit
Since the holiday season seems to start earlier and earlier each year, what if we all simply lived by the holiday spirit year round? I mean really what if we were as giving as we are once a year, all the time. What if, instead of waiting for the holidays, we entertained our friends and…
Casino Royale – Stranger Than Fiction
“Casino Royale” –Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Eva Green Yes, I am a die hard Sean Connery fan and have to say that while Craig is easy on the eyes he is no replacement for my favorite Bond actor. There were a lot of really big holes in this production. Dench is quite wonderful as M…
Man Of The Year
“Man Of The Year” –Robin Williams, Laura Linney, Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum Well done! This is a great cast and refreshing to see someone that really wants to make a difference and it is no surprise that a talk show host is the one that runs for office. We are likely fortunate that Springer, Montel…
Memphis, TN – Graceland Mansion
Okay, now at risk of offending someone, this was truly bad design. It is shocking to me what money can’t buy! I know it is supposed to be original to Elvis and it likely is, but that is even scarier. It never evolved, the interior didn’t keep up with the times, and it isn’t even…
Rustica – Alpharetta, GA
Urban sprawl brings new opportunities for exciting dining options. There is no better place to explore than Alpharetta, and we enjoyed a delightful gourmet experience recently. We’d been out enjoying the local arts and crafts festival, then escaped the heat with a movie. Having snacked only on street fair, we were famished by 6:30. A…
Celebrate Your Life!
My Birthday! Well this month marks my 45th landmark birthday! That is 45 incredible years of experience well worth celebrating. I am a big believer in making birthdays memorable so I invited 20+ friends to share in the party! Hot Off The Press! This month is also auspicious as I published my first entire book!…
Having It All–Yes. You Can!
I know most of us are taught that we can’t have it all, we are told life isn’t fair and it is about sacrifice and giving up to keep going. Not true – we can have it all, once we establish what our own personal “all” is. Most of us don’t really enjoy being pulled…
The Art of No!
This has been a tough lesson for me and betting it is for many of you. I just found my schedule completely overloaded and out of balance, too many trips for seminars and workshops while still prioritizing clients, taking care of the house (cleaning is minor but gardening is a 4-6 hour a week job,…
