SOCIAL ISOLATION CAUSED MY BOOBS TO SAG

updated on

Perhaps your journey in isolation has had similar emotional twists and turns as mine. Back in March of 2020 it started out fine. I was feeling really motivated and thinking this was only going to last a couple of weeks. I was really happy to not be commuting 90 minutes each way to the World Trade Center each day. Working from home was awesome and I loved getting eight hours of sleep each night. It was like a wonderful gift. Then as the weeks progressed, I found myself being the inspiring one – the extra cheerful one for my family, …

DITCH YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION AND DO THIS INSTEAD

updated on

It’s that time of year when people start to take stock of what they accomplished throughout the past year. Upon reflecting on the year, many realize that they didn’t achieve their goals and dreams for yet ANOTHER year. So, what happens? People will make the same or very similar New Year’s Resolutions year after year – which NEVER come to fruition. What is a New Year’s Resolution anyway? According to the Cambridge Dictionary it is a promise that you make to yourself to start doing something good or stop doing something bad on the first day of the year. And that usually lasts, how long? A week, a month, tops? …

HOLIDAY STRESS – ONE UNUSUAL PRACTICE TO REDUCE IT

updated on

The holidays are upon us and along with decorating, shopping and baking cookies comes a tremendous amount of unwanted STRESS! It’s the most beautiful time of the year and we are filled with STRESS!!! Some of it is about getting everything done in the time we have to do it; but there is a much bigger, silent cause of stress going on that we may not even be aware of. We are all playing the “comparison game” in our minds. The game is going on all the time and it is absolutely exhausting. We are silently comparing ourselves to others …

LISTENING TO YOUR “MIND CHATTER” IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS YOU CAN DO

updated on

I have desperately needed new bedroom furniture for years, literally YEARS. I still had my childhood chest of drawers that followed me from Brooklyn to New York City to Los Angeles to Westchester. It was falling apart (although furniture was much better quality back then – it was my mother’s before it was mine!) and I had a few other pieces that had followed me around to both coasts. My bedroom didn’t feel like a place of soft luxury; it felt like it was just holding place for my stuff. It didn’t feel relaxing to go to bed; it just …

ON-LINE DATERS WHO LIE CREATE A KARMIC BOOMERANG

updated on

After a break up, and several months of not dating, I went back to the dreaded on-line treadmill again. Ugh. What a drag. This time, my goal was to be “open” to new possibilities, without judgement, and observe what showed up. My new motto was “What can I learn from this experience?” My dating life had gone from “I want to meet the one.” to “How can I use this date to free my mind?” Sounds boring and a little woo-woo but it was actually pretty amazing once I was able to let go of being attached to wanting to find …

SURVIVING AN EAST COAST SNOWSTORM TAUGHT ME THE 5 KEYS TO LIFE

updated on

by Joanne Newborn The East Coast got hit with its first snowstorm of the season recently and I got caught driving in the thick of it, coming home from my company’s office.  30 miles which normally takes me 45 minutes took me 3 and a half hours. It wasn’t the time that was the issue; it was the sheer terror of every second of the 3 and a half hours. The roads were a mess, it was rush hour and cars were sliding all over the road. After an hour, my windshield wipers froze and were covered with snow (it …

A Difficult Trip To a Holiday Party Led Me to My Purpose for the Night

updated on

Ever have one of “those” days?  Yes, I’m sure we all have, where everything seems to go completely wrong.  I recently had one, that was so maddening, it almost seemed funny… almost. It was the night of my company’s big Holiday Party in New York City.  I had to work during the day in our offices in Connecticut, drive home, get ready, take the commuter train into NYC and then find transportation to the venue from Grand Central Station.  It was a lot of jockeying around, but I was excited to go – it was my first one with this …

What To Do When Thoughts of “Goodbye Cruel World!” Start Creeping In

updated on

This morning I woke up to find a social media private message from a friend saying that he didn’t think he was long for this world. Certainly not what I was expecting on a rainy Tuesday morning. I immediately sent him a suicide hotline phone number and some of what I’m going to share with you below. However, his note also sparked my own thoughts of where I am in life right now. I have a birthday approaching and I am in denial about it. Every time I realize my birthday is upon me, it surprises me. “Oh, yeah, it’s …

“Fetish” Is the New Black

updated on

Saturday night my friends and I went to an 80’s Dance Club in New York City.  I liked the club a lot, it was a mixture, of people who grew up in the 80’s and people in their 20’s who just think its cool to dress up like Madonna and flail around and be silly.  Its filled with fun energy, and the drinks are cheap and taste awful – perfect for dancing,  sweating and jumping up on stage when ever the music moves you to do so.  There is no judgement in this place, all are welcome.   As we …

I Would Like to THANK Roseanne Barr for her Horrid Tweet

updated on

I would like to thank Roseanne Barr for her horrid tweet.  Yes, I said THANK.  Because she provided a wonderful learning moment.  Hey kids, it’s all fun and games, until someone sabotages herself and hundreds of other people (who lost their jobs due to the cancellation of her hit show). Now Roseanne blamed Ambien, and Memorial Day (that was my favorite culprit of the “crime” at hand – yes, it was Memorial Day’s fault!).  And we, as bystanders blame her for the awful thing she did.  But what are we all doing?  PRACTICING JUDGEMENT & BIAS.  Eww. So, why did …
