I see both sides in the clash over canceling the New York Marathon — having runners traipsing through devastated areas where people are still cold and homeless would have felt strange, but people who’ve been training for months traveled to New York on the reassurance that the show would go on, only to have that decision reversed at the last…

I rounded up the participants of Blogversation 2012 by inviting bloggers who inspire me, who make me think, who give me pleasure with their writing. We’re about 10 months into a 12-month project where each of these bloggers takes turns asking a question each week, and even after this much time collaborating with these ladies, I’m still sometimes taken aback…

It seems the socially correct answer to the question “How are you?” is no longer “Good,” but “Busy.” Maybe it’s all the technology that keeps us plugged in 24/7, or the never-ending flow of information from social media, websites and blogs, or the added work load on employees left at downsized companies. Whatever the cause, I frequently have conversations with…

Late in the summer, I finally made it through an aging copy of Psychology Today in a magazine stack next to the bed. I kept that magazine since 2010 because its cover promoted an article on making your own luck, though I can’t begin to explain why it took me two years to read a well-written piece on a topic…

I’ve read many articles about the value of saying yes — but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it in financial terms as clear as this article by Susan Gregory Thomas on Daily Worth: This March when I moved to Philadelphia, I was broke—25 years of living in New York, the past five of it as the breadwinner for my…

I love to host parties — I enjoy inviting friends over for small dinners and huge cocktail affairs, and typically I accept that life is messy so something is going to go wrong. But about a year ago, I had one of my worst hostess moments. We were cohosting a living room concert at which New Orleans cellist Helen Gillet…
In my suitcase: dust masks and goggles, silver sequined boots and a leopard-print bodysuit, warm socks and sunscreen. This week we’re heading to Burning Man, a temporary city that rises in a Nevada desert with about 60,000 residents bringing art and music – and lots of water – to an inhospitable chunk of dust known as the playa. I’ve never…
Watching the Olympics this summer has been fun and not just because Ryan Lochte is about the cutest thing to happen to swimming. Seeing all the images of Big Ben and the Thames make me nostalgic for my experience on a Temple University summer program in London 20 years ago. Now I feel like it was a bit of a…

If you spent Sunday evening dreading the arrival of Monday morning, this post is for you. If you spend eight hours a day at work, not even including time spent commuting or eating lunch, you probably spend more time at your job during the week then you do at home, with your spouse or with your kids. So if you…
