Day 76/365 – On the Nature Conservancy
Day 763/17/17 I’m usually opposed to being accosted by marketing and promotional pitches, especially when I’m in a rush, as most New Yorkers are in the midst of their commute. But last week, as I was walking along a train pass to transfer Metro lines, I was approached by a friendly team of workers from […]
Day 75/365 – On superpowers
Day 753/16/17 Today, I clicked on an e-mail link that sent me to a quiz to find out my secret superpower. I receive a ton of mail from inspirational and coaching subscriptions, and my inner child that believes in magic just had to click on it. It turned out, the superpowers determined by the quiz […]
Day 74/365 – On intuitive eating
Day 74 3/15/17 I’m so excited to announce that I’m working on an e-book with fellow pharmacist/nutritionists, spearheaded by my colleague Dr. Christina Tarantola. As a sneak peak, I’d like to share an excerpt from my chapter on intuitive/mindful eating. Enjoy and comment with any suggestions or additions below! Here are some suggestions to help […]
Day 73/365 – On pi(e) day
Day 733/14/17 Pi day! Or perhaps pie day? I know – it’s actually Snow Day here in the Tri-State area! Woo-hoo!In light of this day, my herbal school classes were cancelled – and our make-up assignment is to go out and make snow angels, or have some flaky snow melt on our tongues…yum! In lieu […]
Day 72/365 – On this moment
Day 723/13/365 Lucky number 13, though today is a Monday, not a Friday. Maybe that’s what makes it lucky? Today was a reminder that I am exactly where I’m supposed to be. I can’t be anyone else, I can only be me (or perhaps I’m also a poet and I didn’t even know it?). I […]
Day 71/365 – On Daylight Savings
Day 713/12/17 Today was the dreaded day where we turn our clocks forward, effectively subtracting one hour of sleep from our lives. This means there is even less time in the day to do all the things we need to get done in a day. It got me to thinking: where are we in such […]
Day 70/365 – On gift giving
Day 703/11/17 I think the best gifts are those that come from the heart, with love and consideration. It should show that the person thought about what you would appreciate the most. A good gift is one that the giftee will use, either because it’s something mundane they had a need for, or they consider it […]
Day 69/365 – On one-in-themselves
Day 69 3/10/17 Still going strong with my streak on femininity, today I want to put the spotlight on a show I recently watched: “One in themselves.” Produced by two foreign female artists of French and Italian backgrounds, this play is set in the quaint La Mama Experimental Theater right here in East Village. Not […]
Day 68/365 – On female brains
Day 683/9/17Continuing from yesterday’s post on the feminine, I wanted to share with you a book I’m currently reading, called “Unleash the Power of the Female Brain,” by Dr. Daniel G. Amen, a neurologist. The book is easy to read, while simultaneously having a lot of scientific data to support case reports presented by the […]
Day 67/365 – On feminine reawakening
Day 673/8/17 In light of International Women’s Day (observed everywhere but United States, it would seem), I wanted to dedicate this post to femininity. It seems that the world has once cherished the feminine, and recognized it in the divine, in Mother Earth, in paintings, in culture, and tradition. The previous era, however, has lost […]
