A few weeks ago, after announcing to my students that I was doing this challenge, Dante (pictured above) approached me after class revealing he is also turning #40 this year and wanted to know what other fearless acts were on my list. “Well, I’ve always wanted to #Swing Dance at Lincoln Center!” Dante smiles, “You know, I used to […]

I had this one written down…I want to try on wedding dresses. I want to feel what it’s like to see my reflection as a Bride-to-be. But every time I went past a bridal shop, I chickened out. I was afraid. Getting married and having a family is something that I really want and I […]

I’m halfway through my commitment of 40 days, and I am realizing something that I did not plan on when I thought of this challenge. I need time….to refuel; to think; to live; to breathe; to allow these experiences to settle in. I have been pushing myself everyday to come up with something new and […]

Bryant Park is a mecca of deliciously fun activities for the summer. Besides outdoor movies on the big lawn, there’s a reading room; board games (including my favorite, Sorry!); ping-pong; dance and fitness classes and… FREE JUGGLING LESSONS. Can you guess which one I chose? Truth be told, I’ve never been known to have good […]

The rehearsal, about three hours long, was filled with everyone from Grandmother’s to Mom’s and Daughter’s to even kids as young as ten.

So today, I was going to attend my first ever skipping club adventure through NYC. I show up at the designated spot via FB invite only to find out I was at the WRONG location. People are asking me, are you lost? I decline to answer as I’m slightly embarrassed to admit I am there […]

I am not an alcoholic nor have I ever suffered from any addiction. I share this with the upmost respect of all the brave and courageous souls that wish to better themselves through programs like AA. I share knowing this is a sensitive subject for some and I will not disclose any details of the […]

I have a lot of ideas; some of them are great and some of them fall flat…but I’ll never know if one is great until I try it out. So, I was inspired by this idea after I went for my first Mammogram yesterday. When you turn Forty, you are required to get this x-ray […]

Truth: I probably would do something like this if I were on vacation but never in my own city. But that’s what this challenge is about…how can I CREATE more fun and spontaneous moments in my everyday life. So, I took of my shoes and socks off, asked someone to watch my stuff and ran […]
