I’ve made a wonderful mistake. My twins have been finding it difficult to settle after they feed at night, so I let them fall asleep listening to my heartbeat. Good idea, right? I mean, what’s the worst that could happen? It’s not like they’d get com...

A networking session for women in business is to be held at the official residence of the US Consul General. Mary Ellen Koenig, the American representative in Bermuda, has teamed up with the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce to bring Monica Dodi, the co-fo...

Holiday!” The words of Madonna’s 1983 classic keep running through my head. I write this from the Azores on a deck chair looking back across the Atlantic, a belly full of lapas and fresh cheese, surrounded by post-Euro victory buzz. A week of natura...

Depending on how you view your glass, you may consider that it’s half over or that half is yet to come. Either way, tomorrow marks the midway point of 2016. Six months since last New Year’s Eve, six months until the next one. Somehow I find both pros...

We celebrated Bermuda’s heroes this month; many of us marked the holiday by strutting our stuff down the road covered in feathers and jewels. The carnival made its debut last year and this year it seemed to have tripled in size. The biggest lesson ...

Observation. This past weekend Bermuda experienced a “Foil Fest”. This was an event in which the America’s Cup catamarans put on a demonstration which consisted of a series of races on a course laid out so that spectators on land and on boats could w...
