by Chris DessiJanuary 28, 2010

Yesterday was a great day at work, super busy and highly productive.  By the time I’d gotten home I had completely forgotten to give a gift.  I was sifting through emails when I noticed one from the New York Road Runners organization. They do some great charity work, and are always offering opportunities for New [...]

by Chris DessiJanuary 27, 2010

Yesterday I couldn’t think of an  idea regarding my gift giving. I even posed the question to my friends and family on Facebook.  I was still having trouble thinking of an idea when (as I was on my way to a meeting) – the gift presented itself to me.
I was walking down the subway steps [...]

by Chris DessiJanuary 26, 2010

Today’s gift is one that I’d thought of a few days ago, however I wasn’t quite sure how to execute.  Michele works at Starbucks.  I’m in Starbucks 5 days a week.  Michele is amazing, and always helps to start my day with huge smile, and a “Good morning Chris”!  This isn’t any small feat.  The [...]

by Chris DessiJanuary 19, 2010

I got up early today and enjoyed making Talia pancakes – as is our normal weekend tradition.  I fed her, got her cleaned and started to pour myself a cup of coffee while she  played in the living room. I took my first sip of coffee, when BAM. The nausea hit.  I ran to the [...]
