I hope you all had fun watching our first three shows. I feel so fortunate to have a job where I get to interview interesting people who are so well informed.
Did you enjoy our segment with Dr. Lauren Streicher? I find her honesty refreshing. There are so many topics that women consider taboo and by refusing to talk openly and honestly about them we isolate ourselves. Instead, as Dr. Streicher suggests, we should be forming supportive communities. I also hope that you joined her for her online chat and have gone to iVillage to learn more about the topics discussed. A six-minute segment did not do these topics justice!!
Also, I now have a crush on Jerry Springer…I’m just kidding, but I do think he is a doll. He’s extremely down to earth and very bright. I immediately felt at ease when he sat down with us. Next time, I’ll make sure he teaches me a few of those Tango moves.
On the home front, my husband and I are quickly settling in to our new apartment in one of Chicago’s cutest neighborhoods, Old Town. We are taking full advantage of everything Chicago has to offer. We’ve already scoped out a few of our favorite restaurants, spent a day at “the beach,” a fabulous day at Wrigley Field and I was lucky enough to go to opening day at Soldiers Field to see the Bears play. Not too shabby for our first month in Chi-town. Of course we do miss our family and friends at home in New York, but it’s true what they say about the Midwest, everyone here is so welcoming. I think this would be a great town to raise a family. The only downside is having my mom so far away.
Thanks for tuning-in this week. I'll be back next week with a new blog!
