Thoughts from the Coffee Table: This was my morning. I am too old for this. While in Seattle to speak at a conference this week, I booked some extra days to be with my son and grandchildren for the week. Yesterday was day one. This morning I was on “get them up and dressed and…
DetailsThoughts From The Coffee Table: Balance is one of those words we throw around, especially when it comes to work/life balance. In fact, I find that when most people use that term, they mean “I want to work less and live more.” I’ve always been a super high-energy crazy working machine, and I have been…
DetailsThoughts From the Coffee Table: I went to my first MLB game in college. It was painful. Mariners vs. someone, 0-0 in the 9th, and I thought I was free! Nope. 1-1 through the 14th. Mariners lost. We have been fortunate to be invited to Twins/Yankees once a year. My husband is from MN, so…
DetailsThoughts From The Coffee Table: When my husband and I travel to different countries, we always seek out a grocery store. We love to wander the aisles to see what is customary, and we always find food treasures to bring home. Yesterday in Manhattan we found a store that was like walking into another country,…
DetailsThoughts From the Coffee Table: I completed my first (and likely only) marathon 2011. I say “completed” because I can’t honestly say I “ran” it. My goal was to complete in 6 hours, and I crossed the finish line at 6:01:10. The overachiever in me was disappointed. Since I walked often, many times I had…
DetailsThoughts From the Coffee Table: Chris was the name of my 7th grade (and first ever) boyfriend. He rode a BMX bike, had long hair, and wore Vans. I believe he became a Philosophy professor. None of that has anything to do with my purchase of Vans yesterday, but makes me laugh. I was just…
DetailsThoughts From The Coffee Table: A few years ago I wanted to begin meditating, but I really had no idea where to begin. And most importantly, I wasn’t certain I could even do it. After all, I’m not known for being a quiet person. Watching GMA one weekend, Dan Harris, the host, shared a very…
DetailsThoughts from the Coffee Table: I used to hate running, now I tolerate it. I have once again started adding the Rocky Steps into my morning run. Not easy. This morning I was struck by all the people out so early, running up the stairs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, being video taped by…
DetailsThoughts from the Coffee Table: It all began with the Crispy Quinoa Cake. My craving for this dish pops up a few times a year, like it did yesterday. I didn’t expect a full restaurant at 1:30 on a Tuesday, but I found a small table to sit and read and savor. The manager walked…
DetailsThoughts from the Coffee Table: There may not be enough words in my brain to express my joy at being able to be in the GMA studio this morning, and meeting Robin Roberts. I learned late last night that there would be no audience today, but that I was still invited as a VIP to…
