Earlier this month I had a very rich experience. I led an experiential workshop focused on meditation and relaxation with The Tommy Foundation NYC Chapter, for their second annual Free Spa Day. The event was extremely well organized by Katiana Harrison, President of The Tommy Foundation NYC chapter ( http://www.tommyland.org/nyc ). I was able to work with aContinue reading “Spa Day”

In the spirit of volunteerism
It’s the beginning of the year – are you thinking of the impact you want to make this year? Have you set any goals? Is your plan to ride out whatever the year has in store for you? This is a time when many people think about giving of their time and energy by volunteering.Continue reading “In the spirit of volunteerism”
In love ?
Have you ever fallen madly in love? So madly in love that thoughts of your newly found love enter your mind day and night, your stomach tingles, you lose your appetite and begin to believe that you can quit your day job and somehow just live off of this freshly replenished feeling you have. ItContinue reading “In love ?”
Healing from emotional pain
At any age – we have all been through a thing or two.

Do you ever think of what you want for yourself in the future? Things like what type of work you would like to be doing, what type of partner you would like to have, whether or not you’re interested in raising any (or more) children. Where you would like to live and how you wouldContinue reading “Carving your dreams into reality”
My hero’s
This morning I read an article where the interviewer asked someone about who their greatest hero was. I didn’t read long enough to get the answer. But I imagine they would list a celebrity or political figure, maybe a someone in sports even. When I think of my biggest hero’s I don’t think of anyContinue reading “My hero’s”
