Westchester Meditation Center Comes Home
We could all use a bit more peace in our lives. But it’s not always easy to carve out the time to just sit and relax. Luckily, the Westchester Meditation Center (originally the Westchester Buddhist Center) is returning home. Beginning in January, they’ll offer 12 weekly community meditation classes on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 at the Bedford Hills ...
Our Life Skills Course
Writing by Susan Trumpbour Artwork by Elizabeth Gourlay School teaches our children many things: The Pythagorean Theorem, where to properly place a comma, how to dissect a frog, etc. – education is crucial. Our teachers do an incredible job, are underpaid/under-supported and, if we’re being honest, deserve sainthood. But schools do have their limits; they cannot teach our children everything ...
3 Ways to Save Money on Home Heating & Cooling
Spring is finicky – one day it’s warm, the next day it’s cool. Sometimes the air conditioning is on, and other days you need the heat. But regardless if you’re heating or cooling, it definitely costs more these days. And, unfortunately, experts say oil prices may continue to rise for months or even the remainder of the year. There are, ...

Piece By Piece
By Cathy Deutsch Seventeen years ago, when Katonah resident Ali Voron was a newlywed, she began collecting unusual odds, ends and furniture she found interesting. “We were just starting out, and we didn’t have the funds or the desire for typical mass manufactured furnishings,” says Voron, who opened Piece Revival in Cross River in March 2023. “I've always been artistic ...
Cooking & Cocktails
Brothers Fish & Chips
Chef Elmer Oliveros enjoys fine dining, and he’ll save for an entire year to indulge in the tasting menu at Per Se. “I see God while I eat, and it’s amazing,” he says. But it’s always difficult to get his friends to go with him – it’s intimidating, and he can relate. “I remember going to a restaurant and they ...
It Takes A Village
A week before Christmas, the kitchen staff at Mt. Kisco’s Village Social come in to work a bit earlier and stay a bit later each evening to prepare holiday meals for those less fortunate.

But for some, a biochemical imbalance in their brain causes a seasonal depression ...
Reframing Your Mental Health Condition
by Rich Monetti artwork by Andrea Jaffee If you deal with the symptoms of anxiety or depression, you might view them as scourges that hinder your day-to-day well-being. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, if you’re able to view your symptoms in a different and more positive manner, you may actually learn to live with them ...
Empowered Optimism
Empowered Optimism – The only kind that really works We hear a lot about the importance of keeping a positive attitude, a.k.a. being optimistic. Like gratitude, it’s an overused term that we’re told we must do if we’re going to “live our best life” and “shed the negative beliefs holding us back.” The question is, how? With numerous not-so-positive things ...

2023 Pride Events
Before this year, I’d never been to a pride event before, and I didn’t know there were any in Northern Westchester. I felt alone, and like my community didn’t support me. But now that I’ve learned what’s around us, I want to shout it from the rooftops….or write it about online. Here’s what’s on the gay agenda for June, so ...
A Night with Robin & Friends at The Bedford Playhouse
I was ready to take the world by storm. I was one semester away from earning my Global Liberal Studies degree from NYU when life came to a halt. I’d learned so much about our incredible, interconnected world, and just when I was ready to make a name for myself on this beautiful planet, everything stopped. There was no way ...
Back to the 80s
I did it again – I went out! And I had a blast! My former middle school put on a show called “Back to the 80s.” I’d never heard of it, but I do love vintage Madonna. Plus, I knew some of my former castmates would want to see what John Jay Middle School is up to these days and ...
