Weekend Event-Coffee in Fort Lauderdale -Saturday, May 30th  - 6pm There is no better way to start off the day than with a cup of coffee in Fort Lauderdale, the elixir of the morning Gods, the heavenly notes of a bright sunny day and the necessary pick me up on many a morning. Coffee is the gas in my tank, the end of my rainbow and allows me a quiet moment of reflection. In the recent years, we all have been exposed to an insurmountable types of coffee. I often think someone should create a dictionary with all the terms, types and concoctions of coffee available. Truly the phrases bandied about are a language unto themselves.

Memorial Day Events- 2015 Fort Lauderdale, Fl This weekend, May 23-25 we celebrate the Memorial Day, a three-day holiday weekend. We will all agree, it is great to have this type of “mini vacation” ahead of us. Most folks plan family outings including traditional barbecues and trips to the glorious beaches of the Atlantic Ocean. It is good to take a break from the hustle of life in South Florida. It is celebration time! But I ask that you take a step back in quiet reflection. What is the true meaning of Memorial Day?

Well, it is Wednesday again and believe it or not, it is nearly May. As always, we are planning ahead for this coming weekend and the events Fort Lauderdale has to offer us. South Florida  provides an exciting lifestyle as there are numerous venues and things to do. As in most large metropolitan areas, there are vast opportunities to have family fun and learn something new. Center stage, so to speak is a travelling exhibit entitled: Brain: The World Inside Your Head. This exhibit examines our organic mission control, our onboard computer so to speak, our brain a.k.a gray matter. Unlike this man made computer that I sit feverishly typing away on, our brain creates every movement, thought, idea and simple action we create. In a nutshell, our brain creates our life and as the title of the exhibit indicates, our brain creates “The World” inside our very own head.

By Suzanne De Vita Signaling growing confidence in the housing recovery, a majority of Americans once again named real estate the best long-term investment – a trend now continued for two consecutive years, according to a recently released Gallup poll. Real estate edged out long-term investment options like stocks/mutual funds, gold, savings accounts/CDs and bonds, with 31 percent of Americans favoring housing for long-term gains. Twenty-five percent of Americans named stocks/mutual funds as the best investment long-term. Gold dropped from frontrunner in 2011 and 2012 to third, while savings accounts/CDs fell to 15 percent. Bonds dipped to just six percent. The findings represent a significant change in consumer sentiment akin to the ongoing recovery. Notably, more Americans preferred savings accounts/CDs in 2012, as financial security remained critical for many in the wake of the crash.
