I just got a few “Stella McCartney” pieces of clothing… a new addition to my wardrobe. Soon thereafter, I received an invitation to a fundraiser that designer Stella McCartney supports. Because I can’t get there — but I wanted to begin a positive relationship with the boutique — I wrote this note to explain why…

Daniele Neuharth at Art Center College of Design gave me and our mutual friend Laura Mueller, lunch and a lovely walk of Art Center College of Design this summer. We looked at the school. Checked out their artwork. And talked about the importance of thank you notes. Daniele confided her grandfather taught her correspondence is…
One of the great things about writing a ‘snail mail letter’ is it provides a way to continue a conversation with someone. I met Danny last year at a St. James Inn event — a few homes sponsored by the Paulist Church to give patients who are undergoing serious medical treatment at UCLA a place…
