The very tippy, top of my To Do list for 2010 is wildly unusual for me. I normally have the “complete a book, run a marathon, win a Nobel Peace Prize” kind of expectations, but 2010 is the year of being kinder to myself. So my number one priority is simple -- loving myself more...

On a daily basis, I create and accomplish tasks I have outlined on a To Do list. These lists focus on menial actions that -- through accomplishment -- will guarantee my day is productive, but not necessarily fulfilling...

There are three items that top my To Do list for 2010 -- 1. Continue to drive Uptown Girl Power with my fellow Bronx Girls, Kerry Washington and Joy Bryant. This past year Uptown Girl Power raised funds and awareness for large-scale art projects. In 2010 I want to...

There is a thing – one, beautiful thing – that both tops my 2010 To Do list and completes it. It is simply To Be.

It’s evocative of Shakespeare, I know. Will and I were born on the same day 400 years apart, so maybe we are destined to express ourselves using similar words. But my version is without the alarming follow up of “or not to be.” There is no question in that regard.  Relax...

At the top of my To Do list for 2010 is a bold and audacious goal: to end violence against women and girls. I can’t think of anything more important than to do something every day to end the various kinds of violence...

My To Do list for 2010 has two clear objectives. They're urgent because I am in my 86th year and not sure how much time I'll have.

First, I'm planning to visit Thailand, where my oldest son lives, and to spend three months getting to know his extended family. One of them is my four-year-old great-granddaughter, named after me. She speaks no English yet, but we'll find a way to talk..

2010 To Dos… wow. Is it really 2010 already? Wasn't it just yesterday that we were all preparing for the Y2K bug? I feel like I was just unwrapping bottle warmers at my baby shower, and now my "baby" goes to preschool...

What tops my 2010 To Do list? To go bigger and better.

It took a long time to get where I am now – working a job I love and engaged to the guy I love. Nine years ago I was working for an investment bank and very, very single. Things have changed...

My 2010 To Do list just couldn’t wait till the start of the New Year. On October 28th, I experienced the same powerful wave of energy that I always feel the day after The Women’s Conference...

Wow! My To Do list is short but sweet. It involves very little money, a sincere inner perspective and, most of all, a sense of humor.

In the past, my To Do list would include specific travel, new purchases, possible job and education upgrades, or a visit to a local tourist spot. The list would emphasize change, renewal, be supported by a “spend money” mentality. But what really put a twinkle in my eye was...
