It is only by following your deepest instinct that you can lead a rich life, and if you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, then your life will be safe, expedient and thin.

The lights of the Hanukkah menorah that we kindle in our homes are a reminder both of the Menorah in the Temple in Jerusalem and the light that shines brightly within each one of us.

Buy what you don’t have yet or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping.

We are coming to you on Wednesday so we can have a much-needed long weekend. If you will miss us on Friday night or Saturday morning, apologies for this! Or you can stop reading now and read on then.
Ah, Thanksgiving! A time for time-tested recipes, as well as at least one new one. I am making an Ina Garten carrot recipe. Let’s not discuss how many stores we visited to get the perfect tri-colored carrots. I wish there was video of Tom and me trying to figure out which bunch had the most colors, and the right sizes, at three stores. But now we have a blend of two shades of purple, yellow and orange. I know all about the Thanksgiving food hunt. We have been to four stores and one farmers' market. The table is set, the flowers are arranged and the pies are baked. Now we just have to take care of all the rest of it.
