NYC Elevators


Our restaurants are graded in NYC to ensure our safety-- and most of the time food will only make you sick for a short time. But our elevators aren't -- and elevators can injure or kill you -- my client's personal trainer was thrown against the ceiling when his elevator sped up too quickly and he's now paralyzed for life. And can we ever forget that that woman who was chopped in half when hers was stuck between floors and she stepped out just as it started moving? I can't forget that. Elevators should be graded with a framed certificate posted right by the elevator doors. The grade would include elevator violations, and whether they had been corrected, with a total score like restaurants do. Then you'd at least have the knowledge to KNOW if your elevator was safe, and you could choose if you wanted to step in. There are 10,000 accidents and 30 deaths a year from elevators that aren't maintained and malfunction. That would at least hold them accountable...and maybe motivate them to maintain them properly. Anyone agree with me here?

 I know this isn't a topic I usually post about, but since the majority of my clients live in NYC and take elevators every day like we all do, it is a topic that really needs to be addressed.

 Please comment or share if you agree. 

 I'm writing a letter to send out about this, and if you comment I will include a screen shot in my letter to show others care as well.

 Thanks!

Feel happier, right now!

The word "gratitude" is a bit syrupy and sugary, isn't it? Sort of like smiling for no reason, it can feel forced. Try this exercise as an alternative way to get a nice happy buzz of happiness: 1) What is something good you have in your life? 2) What if that good thing never happened? (Imagine that you missed out on meeting your significant other, or you didn't get into college, or you never got the job you have now, etc.) When I picture my life without say, having a house to grow up in, or without having my parents in my life, or without meeting my husband, or never having met great friends, or having things go down a horrible path, it makes me feel SAD initially, but then I'm overwhelmed with feeling GRATEFUL. Sometimes you don't realize what you have until you lose it -- how about you imagine losing it, so you can appreciate it, now. It's funny how you almost have to carve out a negative space in which to fill it with something positive. Letting sadnes

When you're dating...how to avoid sociopaths

To my daters... One in 25 people is a sociopath. So that charming person you're sitting across from at dinner? They may be missing an important part of their brain -- literally. Sociopaths lack a portion of their brain which is responsibly for producing feelings of guilt -- they are physically disabled , and this is not treatable. This enables them to do harm to others and feel no remorse. It all comes down to capabilities, ambition, and what the sociopath wants out of life -- some sociopaths might steal a friend's $20, or lie about something small, while others are CEOs who steal millions of people's money. One sociopath might delight in quietly bullying others at work, just to watch people become upset. While another sociopath may be violent and kill people or animals without a second thought. Scary. It's all shades of gray, but the central idea is that sociopaths don't feel remorse. They can kill your dog, or steal your spouse, or lie to your face -- and sleep s

My response to: 18 Ugly Truths About Modern Dating That You Have To Deal With

http://thoughtcatalog.com/christopher-hudspeth/2014/04/18-ugly-truths-about-modern-dating-that-you-have-to-deal-with/ My response to this article above. Read the link first, and then my response. I was moved by this article because these are frustrations which are SO common, and I know a lot of people feel this way. Over the years, some of my clients have expressed these same concerns. It can make a person feel very powerless, when they view the situation in this way. But it's also understandable, because we all feel disappointed and sometimes get hurt in dating situations.  There is another way to view what's going on, which I feel is more accurate, and also will help you feel more powerful and secure in your dating! Read on.  1. If someone is not that interested in you, it’s going to hurt your feelings. Get out of there fast. Love isn’t about power. If there are power games, get out of there, and get into something functional, where you are adored and admir
