Flex!

I had a completely different idea last night about what I would write here this morning, but then I decided to go in another direction.  So this is a little bit of an extension on CHANGE that Margo wrote about the other day.  My idea of change is learning, practicing,...

You do what you have always done…

You get what you have always gotten. I am not a fan of change.  But then again, who is?!?  As I have been working on this Monday morning, reviewing January numbers with clients, I can’t stop thinking about what it is that holds us all back from positive change...

Superbowl Hangover?

I didn’t have a real stake in the winner of this game. I think Tom Brady is stop-the-traffic attractive, but that is no reason to root for New England. I have friends that are close friends from growing up with the Mannings, but that is no reason to root for the...

I Love New York

I LOVE NEW YORK I just got back from 5 days in New York and oh how I love that city!!   I love that you can get literally anything you want to eat at any time of the day and that 90% of that can be delivered … I love that you can walk most places, and I love the...

A little musical chairs…

Lucky me is visiting the NYC this week for the New York International Gift Fair…  I found this fun little ditty on New York Magazine — for your viewing pleasure,...

One Little Lesson

I learned a lot (like more than you could ever put in 10 million blogs)  from working with my consultant but the one example that I give over and over to prospective clients or really anyone who wants to talk about retail (it’s a sickness 🙂  is what I call my lesson...

C’mon, C’mon Get Happy!

A little bit more about me, I read. A lot — The paper. Magazines. Books. & Blogs. {lots of blogs.} I have a regular blog roll that I try and make time to peruse each week – and truthfully, there is SO much information out there, reading and learning...

THE HOUSE OF AXELROD

I share my house with boys so there isn’t a lot of time devoted to the fashion cause around here.  Being the Mom to two elementary age boys I have learned to pick my battles when it comes to clothes.  I have accepted the reality that my boys don’t wait in giddy...

Winter Wishes

I wandered past these windows and smiled. It caught my eye immediately, mostly the smooth way they are easing out of the holidays and heading towards Valentine’s — it was just enough red, just enough art, and just enough hope in the sentiment. And the...
