Jacey and Maggie spent a weekend with some friends in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Few things top mountain getaways in the fall. NYMag has an interesting article on pre-date Googling. A Better Way to Introduce Your Friends at Parties. Jacey and Maggie are researching BFF bracelets. Suggestions? We spend a lot of time talking about whether or not optimism is the enemy of action.

NYU psychology professor, Dr. Gabriele Oettigen, suggests the WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan) formula for success Maggie is more big-picture while Jacey is detail-oriented.
