This article first appeared in purely elizabeth‘s Purely Summer magazine.  How you start your morning sets the tone and intention for the rest of your day. I’m such a morning person that I often wish that my days were made up entirely of mornings. It’s when I’m most productive and focused. Whether you do 10 things in the morning or just… Read More

With temps soaring toward 100 degrees this weekend, David and I agreed that the only place to be was on the water or in the water, so that’s exactly what we did.  Friday night we boarded the New York Health & Racquet Club Yacht for a sunset cruise. We’ve been meaning to do this ever since we joined the gym… Read More

It’s always hard to get a table there but Summertime is usually less busy at most restaurants so we had no trouble on a Friday night.

Let there be no doubt about it, I love running. If you’ve read this blog for any length of time or know me personally, you know this.  I’ve trained for triathlons of various distances, marathons, half marathons and I regularly run New York Road Runner races.  But what works for us at one time in our life, doesn’t necessarily work… Read More
