Sweet Revenge in NYC
I love a new business magazine for women called CAKE&WHISKEY: The Sweet and Spirited World of Business. (www.cakenwhiskey.com) Their tagline: Eat Cake. Drink Whiskey. Talk Shop. They often hold Gatherings in social settings to (what else?) talk business. But I love the dichotomy of the entity, as life (and business) are so very very diverse. So I was so excited that my BFF in NYC introduced me to a shop in the West Village where we could be both fun and sassy while enjoying a late afternoon treat. Sweet Revenge (http://www.sweetrevengenyc.com) is Zagat-rated and highly recommended. They had a full menu of cupcakes with matching wine and beer pairings. How fun!
The cafe has a wonderful backstory: Marlo Scott set sail from corporate world to entrepreneurial heaven and all the roller coasters that come with both worlds. The success has been Sweet, and although I haven't met her, I bet she's a Spirited lady. I hope Sweet Revenge has a line out the door for years to come...in honor of all the entrepreneurial biz women out there. I had the Banana Oatmeal Streusel Cake with the Sauvignon Blanc- full yet light, warm yet cool. Such an opposition pairing, and it was wonderful. Delicious Marlo, thanks! So. Much. Fun.

Airport Art - Chicago Midway
Appreciate local artists, community works, and on-loan exhibits when traveling. I always look for details that mean people are trying to make the travel experience fun and workplaces inviting. Art is thoughtful and insights great conversation.

Greece, Travel, Money and Scandal
Greece, a beautiful and historical country, languishes still under the weight of a government troubled by financial difficulties. Certainly Greece has received the lion's share of news coverage about the European fiscal crisis in the past several years, but it is not alone in economic instability. As we enter into a new year of hope and recovery, the US will also have a difficult time shaping up our financial situation.
Globally, leaders are under pressure to provide strong leadership for the governance of their countries, which involves security, opportunities for citizens, legal resolution, social issues, and financial order. These are overwhelming issues which can only be managed by collaboration among dedicated and intelligent people. We are all called upon to do our part, whether that be helping our neighbors, serving in the military or public domain, voting, showing support to our elected officials, or educating ourselves on the pertinent issues.
As the new year dawns, I urge you to stay informed. Read and watch the news from a variety of sources, talk to your neighbors about their and your needs, spend and save wisely, and be involved in local politics (even if it's just to vote). And if given the opportunity, TRAVEL. You will meet diverse people - and while realizing how fascinating they are, you'll see they're pretty much just like you, thinking about family, work, and life. I hope you get the opportunity to see Greece- their history is glorious...let's hope their future is as well.
