Love everything about this song and video (hence my always posting it). A little scared that evil Marc Anthony makes me kind of swoon in this. Damn his stylist and swagger. My song with Tony Montana.  Don’t judge. One of … Continue reading →

When looking at others, it’s essential to remember that perception is not reality.  Sometimes, it’s not even closely linked.  Though it might seem that those around us have a better sense of who they are, where they want to go and how … Continue reading →

When Girls Talk About Boys. I. Girl 1: I am stunned. How did he turn that situation into me being crazy?  I would not have been so emotional had he not been so reckless. What is that about? Girl 2: I don’t … Continue reading →

My friend, Robert, said that our Facebook timelines put energy into the Universe. This weekend, all I want to do is dance & play.

He Puts Me Into Such a Great Mood This song got me through such an uncomfortable time. One of the most beautiful salsa songs I have ever heard.  I may or may not dance alone in my room to this  

Our New “Engaged Guy” is just fantastic.

When someone first recited this to me, it read like the most heartbreaking poem I’d ever heard. It has since become one of my favorite songs. So painful and yet so beautiful, just like love.

Pro’s: Juan, The Mistress, Magaldi, The Chorus, Direction and Stage were all wonderful, and the audience was so fun! To my left, a giddy man who whooped every scene. To my right, an 80-year-old couple cracking jokes and telling me … Continue reading →

The universe bestows a chance meeting upon us, and in it, we find a moment of reflection. We realize that four eyes and two minds see and remember the same experience differently. We are lucky enough to realize that clarification … Continue reading →

1 heaping cup of Ricky Martin 2 C Evita (My favorite Play!) 1  Great Friend making a bucket list night possible 1 Great friend coming as my date 2 Orchestra seats 1 Sprinkle of hope that I get a smooch, … Continue reading →

There is a lot of power in interpretation.  The next time you find yourself up-in-arms about something that was said or done, take a moment and think about why negative emotions are being triggered and see if you can’t relate … Continue reading →

The apartment upgrade continues (with the help of patient and fashionable friends who kindly share their “eh” or “yay” when I send photos of my find’s). Inspiration: Love the feel of open space and the glamour the silver/glass gives while sitting on … Continue reading →

There isn’t a song of hers that doesn’t bring a special mood into the room.  R.I.P, Little Ms. Winehouse.

Feel it if you have to, but don’t believe it unless it’s true.

Tonight’s guest post comes from Brenda Della Casa. Here’s what I love about her story – it’s about the little things.  The music on the radio and the flowers on the table.  Sometimes we get confused; we think that miracles … Continue reading →

My friend, Vance, shared this on his wall today and I found it so lovely (and true) that I simply had to share it with all of you.

While this piece was written for an entreprenureal readership, I found the tips useful for all areas of life.  Forward-thinking folks who keep the needs of their audience in mind are likely to be more successful than those who live in … Continue reading →

It’s turns out that it’s not just our love of mascara that leaves them confused…  

Find out here.

I was just recently discussing the idea of “loser” language vs “champion” language with a friend of mine so when I came across this piece in Inc., I was eager to share it.  I hope you all will snoop around … Continue reading →

4 Glasses of Sangria 1 Pita & Hummus Plate 1 Side of Fries 2 Close Friends 1 C Antics 2 Dressing Rooms Garnish With Nonstop Laughter Lookout Summertime!

What’s Groser Than Gross? A married man trying to get a woman to go out with him under the guise of work. No thanks, dude. I don’t care how cute & successful you are. Yes, this post is for you.

The thoughts you meditate on, the words you speak, the decisions you make and the actions you take all work to shrink or expand your world. There is a place for you here in the world.  A place for you to … Continue reading →

There are few things that satisfy like the feeling of success.  Whether it’s standing out at work, rockin’ a respectful, loving & passionate relationship, running that mile under your goal time or conquering another personal goal, a job well done … Continue reading →

This looks divine!  I cannot wait to makeit and serve it to my girls al fresco!  I’ll bet it’s delicious with Italian sausage, too.

Brenna: I like cold cream. BDC: I am using this cream that costs $175.00 Stacey: That’s insane. KK: That’s the amount in my bank account.

An actor accidentally slit his own throat while performing a suicide scene on-stage. Yikes!

It happens to the best of us. We accommodate immaturity. We tolerate insanity. We fall in love with losers. We believe liars. We ignore our instincts but hope “everything will be OK”. We reach out when we should look in. … Continue reading →

My friend, Jason, just popped by my office and handed me these.  They have to be the most gorgeous flowers I have ever seen. I can’t stop staring at them! Note: The girls in the office are stopping by to … Continue reading →

I woke up to so many texts, emails, Facebook posts and missed calls that it’s hard not to be overwhelmed in the best possible way.  When I was a young girl, I wanted so badly to feel loved & special on my … Continue reading →

Yikes!

LDiva: Younger men are the new black. Everyone wears it well. BDC: Ooh, take me shopping!

Maybe they will work for you as well! Winding Down With Ella & Frank: Instead of plopping down and passing out, I light candles, make a cup of “Bedtime” tea and listen to Ella and Frank sing to me while … Continue reading →

Stand up for yourself. Say what you need to say. Live authentically, honestly and passionately. Hold out for something better. Stay close to your value system. Let go of your grudges and toxic memories.  You don’t live there anymore. Walk … Continue reading →

John: “Throwing parties on holidays is idiotic.  That’s like me throwing a b-day party on Christmas.  Who would be there except for all of us who spend Christmas together?” BDC: “I’d be there.” John: “Because you come for Christmas, stupid. … Continue reading →
