My 60th Birthday Wish

Barbara Feldman — Tue, 14 May 2013 21:56:40 +0000

Psst… can I tell you a secret? I’m turning 60 in three weeks. Okay, so maybe it’s not such a secret, but it’s a big milestone, and one that’s been on my mind for about a year. 60? Wow. As many have said before me, it’s just a number. But I believe it’s a number [...]

Barbara Feldman — Tue, 07 May 2013 01:27:12 +0000

In no particular order, here are eleven things I learned from Mom, along with my own comments on her life lessons. 1) Travel the world. Okay Mom, I’m with you on this one. 2) Gold jewelry is always in style. Yeah, you’re probably right. 3) You can never have enough jewelry. Well I might have [...]

Do These Jeans Make Me Look Graceful?

Barbara Feldman — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 17:57:30 +0000

I am writing today as part of the Generation Fabulous blog hop on the meaning of aging gracefully. I believe grace is an internal quality. It’s about feeling content, and accepting one’s whole self. Sometimes my wrinkles and age spots shock me … that’s the opposite of grace! But mostly, I am taking them all [...]

Multicultural Holiday Greetings

I just answered a note from a teacher thanking me for my words about Newtown. (My words can be summed up by saying I was speechless, and didn’t have any words.) Then he wished me a Merry Christmas, and hoped if I was Jewish I would forgive his faux pas. I replied as follows: “And [...]

I am over-the-moon excited by Amazon’s new Kindle Fire content subscription service for kids 3 to 8.

Happy Socks

Barbara Feldman — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 19:14:32 +0000

I discovered Happy Socks at a sock store in Amsterdam, across the street from a cheese store where we bought lunch. As much as I liked the cheese, the socks were even better, as was I suffering from a sock emergency. My daughter and I were on day 4 of a 25-day travel adventure, when [...]

When Barbara Met Howard

Barbara Feldman — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 19:16:50 +0000

In the fall of 1982, I was the District Sales Manager for NorthStar, a small mini-computer company from northern California (anyone within the sound of my voice remember them?) I had a office in an executive suite in Irvine, where I befriended many of my office mates. These were casual friendships that developed around the [...]

I’ve got a couple of great books sitting on my desk that I’m giving away this week to one lucky winner. I’ve met the authors, and you should be prepared to be blown away. Here’s the deal. Amy Jo Martin is a social media pioneer who figured out that her passion was teaching people to [...]

“Book of Mormon the Musical” and Political Correctness

Barbara Feldman — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 19:07:01 +0000

This post has been brewing since I visited New York at the beginning of August and saw the hit musical “Book of Mormon” on Broadway. The theater was packed, the music and dancing were great, and I laughed at the raunchy irreverent humor. But I didn’t tweet or blog about seeing this musical because something [...]
