Gratitude for Barnes & Noble

by Sandy Weiner on March 14, 2010

The power is out all over the tri-state area. Yesterday’s storm took down tress and power lines all over my neighborhood. This morning, my friend walked over for a cup of coffee cooked on my gas stove, and announced that 70,000 residents had reported power outages. It is estimated that it will take several days to restore power. As we walked around my neighborhood, the damage was devastating. Trees and branches had fallen on cars, roofs, and blocked streets. I consider myself lucky. My only damage so far was a downed segment of my wooden fence. My fear is that without working sump pumps, my basement could flood. But overall, I am filled with gratitude for the blessing of an intact home. [click to continue…]

First Impressions

Last night, after rushing from picking up my daughter at the train station to feeding my kids dinner, I traveled a half-hour during rush hour traffic to get to a networking event at EWN. I was a bit frazzled as I entered the lecture on networking etiquette, but I was not nervous at all. I [...]

Breathing New Life

March 3, 2010

I remember my first time. I was driving in a neighborhood about a half hour from my home, and there they were at the end of someone’s driveway, exposed and begging for a second chance: twin oak headboards and footboards, in mint condition and perfect for my kids’ bedroom! With a quickening of my heart [...]

Back in Biblical times, when the Jewish people left Egypt, they witnessed one amazing miracle after another. From the nature-defying splitting of the Red Sea to the awe-inspiring capacity to draw water from a rock, miracles were abound. And yet, the Jewish people were constantly complaining.
