A SERIOUS THOUGHT

 When my time came. I thought I would be buried in florida with  my parents  so purchased a plot which I later sold when I moved back to NYC loosing $2000.00.  It has plagued me how to prepare for my kids sake but could not come up with a easy answer. Who is going to come to my funeral anyway?

At a luncheon yesterday from a complete stranger I got my answer. "I do not want a funeral nor do I want to be buried anywhere," she said.

From this same person who has my namesake spelled with an e at the end, she farther stated her ashes will be scattered on the street where she lives and loves.

How brilliant I thought. Simple easy and uncomplicated, I will follow her wisdom.

I love my street too; I also love Central Park and all the wonderful trails.

I will pick a spot and all of my inevitable problems are solved. May you and I live to be 110, but in the meantime, it is a serious thought. Would you like to add dialogue?

Below is gravesite of my wonderful Grandmother. We will soon straighten out her stone.

At what point of life are you at today?

What has brought you to your present moment in life? happiness, sadness, inspiration, love, health wealth?  Please share by telling.  Best response wins my new book.

We are all where we are from our past experiences. Hopefully we have learned a thing or two especially about  our mistakes. Who knew they were good for us? Without them how could we have known what was best? Keep making them and keep learning not to repeat them. That is growth.

Recipe: Famous Baked Apples!

Choose your favorite apple for baking.  I bought mine at the farmer's market and I like small ones.  Core and place apples in glass baking dish with a half a cup of water. Bake at 350 for one hour, add fruit preserves (any brand will do!) or if you prefer, Stevia, a natural sweetener. Place sweetener in open core and bake another 45 minutes.  Let cool. Enjoy!

Historically beautiful snow day in Central Park

Gorgeous Central Park after the big snow.

Stood and gazed at the beauty in my own back yard. Crystals hanging from snow covered tree branches, buildings in the distance and pathway covered with white clean snow (won't last long) Took my nordic walking poles and lifted my boots and took off on a lovely walk. 

Nobody wants to be first (including me)

A luncheon was planned at Sardi's today with about six other women.

The snow alert came and I thought of cancelling, however I did not want to appear as a whimp so waited and waited for an e mail to arrive that it was cancelled by the hostess. However she didn't want to be the first either. Other e mails from the guests arrived in my mail box wondering ( and I am sure hoping ) it was cancelled. At zero hour, 11/2 hours before the hostess did cancel much to all of our relief. The point is, each one of us did not want to the first whimp.

"THIS IS WHAT WE DO NOW"...

Retirees age 65 and older are the fastest-growing group of social networkers on sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace, according to a 2012 survey by the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project. The report found that 40 percent of Internet users older than 65 use Facebook, up 150 percent since 2009.

Golden-agers are also signing onto Twitter in record numbers. In 2009, only 5 percent of Internet users in the 50 to 64 age bracket had used Twitter, or some other status-update service. It's now up to 11 percent.

NEW YORK (AP) — Too much drama, boredom and scads of irrelevant information are just some of the reasons Facebook users give for taking a break from the world's biggest social networking site for weeks at a time, according to a new study.

MY TAKE: THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH TO READ EACH DAY. 

Suzanne Somers @SuzanneSomers @CAROLGERSHMAN1 congratulations. Keep up your good work

Suzanne Somers taught me how to keep my waistline. Would you like to know how she did it?

Learning about Social Networking

In promoting my new book, "Here Comes Amazing You", I decided it would be a great idea to get more involved with social networking!

And who knows about social networking better than a college student?

I found a student studying at Columbia University to help me expand my skills on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest!

We've been having fun coming up with new ideas to develop my Facebook page, creating inspiring boards on Pinterest, and connecting with celebrities via Twitter.

It is unimaginable how much there is to learn.

The teacher! 

1970's NYC Ed Koch

The passing of Ed Koch reminds me of what NYC used to be like in the 1970's. Murders and crimes were at its peak and nobody wanted to be here. Real Estate was cheap, the upper west side was the place NOT to be.

Grant you it is many years later but look what we have now and have had for so many years.The city keeps us busy at every given moment from the tippity top to its rounding bottom with wonderful things to do, learn and love. Ed brought the city through and remained its best friend until his passing last night.

Inspiring.
