Get Out of Your Comfort Zone, Shift Your Perspective
Take chances, make mistakes, get messy! FaceBook reminded me recently that it’s been five years since I went on my first “Adventure Wednesday.” Sometimes it’s little triggers like that which can make me take time and look back, remember...

Today’s Adventure Wednesday has been filled with unusual food (black rice vegan sushi, curried butternut squash dip and ginger peach sparkle tea) and unusual art (sculptures made from leftover iron gears and old shovels) but not much adventure. A kind of grey...

There’s a side to Dr. Seuss I would never have known about if a friend hadn’t suggested we go check out his exhibit of his hats at a small gallery in SoHo. We went down after work, stopping at Mercer Kitchen first (I’ve had fun spotting...
