Survival Training in Central Park–The Scottish Way with Bear Grylls

Sarabeth’s, a restaurant on Central Park South in New York, is a perfect place for a Manhattan weekday breakfast; oh the fresh-baked muffins, scones and more… but it’s not the place I’d expect to meet instructors from the Bear Grylls Survival Academy.  After a few cups of coffee and a savory meal, I realized that […]

A Volunteer’s View from the New York Special Olympics Summer Games held in Buffalo, NY

  The New York Special Olympics games are the sixth-largest Special Olympics gathering in the world. I’ve been a supporter for many years, but this year I just couldn’t write the check and call that the extent of my donation. No, I decided to volunteer.

Sunset Sunday-View from the Four Seasons Miami

After settling into my room at the Four Seasons Hotel Miami located in Brickell, I headed directly to the pool where I spent a wonderful afternoon of leisure. I don’t often think of Brickell as a destination in Miami, but I know the Four Seasons is a destination wherever they are located. And actually, I’d […]

Sunset Sunday-A Mile High Return from Mexico

On my  flight back from my recent trip to Mexico I looked out from my window seat and experienced a mile high moment; a mile high sunset. And I reflected on the moment. I stared and smiled for a while and then I eventually grabbed my iPhone to snap an image. My recent Mexican adventure […]
