Creating Events of the Heart was quite an evolving process. Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither was EOH.

In one of Pamela and my early experiments, very early we decided that in exploring all things heart, we wanted to know and understand what it was that turned people’s heart’s on. So after much thought we decided to take a cross-country trip and pose that question. We called it the Heart On Tour. You can imagine with a New York accent how this sounded in the middle of the country. Some people asked, “Is this about sex?”

We decided to document the trip.  Well I borrowed my nice Erica’s video camera but had no experience using one.  Let’s just say the early film resembled The Blair Witch Project.

But there was a point where it all fell into place probably around Moab Utah. And by the end of the trip we learned a lot about what turned people’s heart’s on including our on. So I want to take the opportunity when I blog now to report back to you what’s turning my heart on these days and encourage you to write back to me and tell my about you Heart On’s. And because I’m now a hip blogger I will refer to it as HO.

For two weeks this month the Tokyo contingent as I call them my son Josh, daughter-in-law Lenore and my two granddaughters Pavi who’s 5 ½ and Gigi nearly 3 spent two weeks in New York. OMG!  Heaven! It was a total oxytocin high. The girls call me Nonna (which is Italian for Grandma) It was either Bubbie or Nonna and Nonna won. Everyday they were in New York was a wonderful day. With your children you are so busy getting on with your life (and I was very busy) I didn’t stop enough. Ah but with the girls my  focus was them. I could just tune into the divine duo and experience all their curiosity and humor and connect to their very active minds. I saw Mary Poppins through the wonder in Pavi’s eyes. HO! I navigatws the dinosaurs at the Museum of Natural History with two rambunctious girls running in different directions my aerobics for the day. HO!  Experienced The magic of snow in Central Park.  We lunched at the Shake Shack. The burgers are too die and I  actually ate the bun!  HO! And delighted in their complete obsession with Habebe. Poor Habebe. He is such a wonderful gentleman.

I know he breathed a sigh of relief when they left. Gigi informed me that she was no longer a baby but was now a “big kid”.  And if all of this deliciousness with the girls wasn’t enough both of my daughter-in- laws informed me that they are pregnant. OyVey HO! Lenore and Josh with a third. And Elizabeth who lives in LA and often assists EOH when we do projects there, and Zach are having their first baby. Pamela our resident psychic feels two boys are coming. My cup runneth over. This is what turns my Heart On!
