Hmm, I’ve only ever been to Gramercy Tavern…

Time to add one to the list. Next up: River Cafe, this summer.

There comes a time in life, generally more than once, when you just have to let go, let things be just the way they are and find solace in the now. Look for the good and it will surely be found.

A new year is upon us. Do you have any resolutions?

Being a more patient person, traveling more and reading more are just a few of mine. Regardless of what yours are, let’s all vow to grab 2012 by the balls and make the best of it!

Love, health & happiness to all!!

The other day I gave myself some extra time to get to work and you know what I discovered? It was awesome. It was only 5 extra minutes BUT it gave me more time to do a few things…

- enjoy the line up at Satrbucks

- wait an extra subway until one came with enough space to sit down

- time to get off one stop earlier and walk the few extra blocks.

The extra 5 mins put me in such a better mood. I discovered when you’re not rushing, pushing past people or on to the subway you have more time to look up, skip a little and enjoy this beautiful city.

As the new year approaches, I suggest you add ‘leave 5 minutes earlier’ to your resolutions. Think what a better moods we’d all be in if we all did this? And how much more enjoyable our morning commutes would be?

It’s been a while. What can I say? Work was insanely busy for the past little while, that any down time I did have, I didn’t spend writing. 

Now that I’m back from a weeks vacation, I’m actually itching to write. So I decided, a post it is. 

December is upon us, already! Although, I’m not mad it’s December, for I quite like the winter months. It’s just crazy to think how fast time flies. 
December in NYC is quite a magical time. There’s something in the air that makes the streets, the people, the everything really, like it’s fresh out of a movie.

I wish you all a happy December! May you spend lots of time preparing for the holidays with friends, enjoying Christmas and holiday parties alike. But don’t forget, in the hustle and bustle of it all. Stop, breathe and take in the beauty that is a good old fashioned NYC December. 

The peanut gallery always has something to say. 

Long time; no blog.

In case you were wondering, I’ve been MIA due to 85+ hour work weeks – that yes, included weekends – which hasn’t left time for much else lately.

Luckily, I love my job. 

And I’m definitely not complaining.

Just sad to not have attended as much of Advertising Week as I had wanted.

Or planned.

Or hoped, wished, wanted and dreamed.

So:

In honor of all who did make appearances, I want to express my sincere gratitude to those that so diligently blogged about the week. It’s a great feeling to be in the company of so many passionate people. To know that while I was missing Advertising Week physically, I was still there mentally – that meant a lot to me.

So thanks to all you hard working people.

Both AWSC Blog Squad members and related industry folk.

I find the Fall season a great time to recharge, reorient, reengage and revitalize yourself.

That’s why I wanted to take a moment to share with you a wonderful, inspiring book I’m reading. It’s called “The Happiness Project” – and you can relax, like right now.

It’s not as “self-help-y” as it sounds.

It’s a wonderful collection of 12 steps a writer promises herself to embark on to improve her happiness quotient in life.

If you’ve got a long flight ahead of you, or you’re just in the market for a new, motivating read, I suggest picking it up.

Work. Love. Social. Family.

And especially, the relationship you have with yourself.

The book includes several lively and compelling lessons to learn – and apply, if you so choose – to your own life.

Happiness week everyone!

What a great read. 

If I had more time to comment, I would.
