How’re You Doing? I’ve been thinking about the value of a little time out. Or time away. A respite, perhaps, from what we’re all dealing with. Because it’s a lot. Pause Here’s the good news! You may not be able to press the pause button on current world events swirling around us. But you sure [Read More…]

It’s A Heart Time Of Year The Olympic competitions are both breaking hearts and making other hearts burst with pride, Valentine hearts have been given and received (or forgotten and missed), and pretty much most of the news we’re seeing these days is not for the faint of heart. So what’s a communicator like you [Read More…]

(Friends, this post was initially written on Jan 14, 2026, a solid 3.5 weeks before the actual Super Bowl, which, for those who’re counting, was a Very Big Patriots loss. But what a year it’s been. And the lessons are still good ones!) This Post Has Nothing To Do with the fact that the New [Read More…]

Please Note: We interrupt murders, hate crimes and tragedies to bring you this message.  Montreal Is Home I am deeply grateful to have grown up as part of an English-speaking, Jewish community in a predominantly French-speaking, Catholic city.

Yikes… There’s a lot going on, isn’t there? And uncertainty begets questions, lots and lots of questions. I bet you’re being asked to justify, simplify, clarify and/or defend, explain, project on a regular basis.

Love This View from yesterday’s walk by the Charles River. The leaves are changing, or “turning,” as we say. Yes, it’s Fall in New England and this is what happens. Things change, along with the weather, the amount of daylight and life in general. Sometimes Change Is foisted upon us and sometimes it just feels [Read More…]

Harsh Times and Challenges abound, my friends. This is not an easy environment: divisiveness, dissonance and dissing are all around us. And yet… We Can Find Joy and it doesn’t need to have a Capital J. Small joys are all around us, too. And one of those joys is communicating with others. Connecting where we [Read More…]

It’s August and for those following along at home, you may be reading this in early September. Either way, I always feel this time of year is a time to step back and build in some “pause time.” Can you slow it down? The World Is Too Much With Us wrote the English Romantic poet [Read More…]

Yup, That’s Me doing a little stretching out two months ago. I couldn’t be more grateful for this flexible, healthy body of mine. It’s probably a combination of many years of yoga, clean living, the structure of my joints and the length of my connective tissue. But there’s more to flexibility than that. Let’s call [Read More…]

To Start: Get Still and Focused What does “ready” look like? Football players lined up at the line of scrimmage. Runners crouched on their starting blocks. Dancers poised in the wings. A conductor with arms raised before the downbeat. It is completely still, before the flurry of movement (or words). Take that moment. And take [Read More…]
