Antonella — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:33:38 +0000

A reminder to all of my friends that on Saturday I’m participating at the Interdependence Project marathon and I need your help. As you can read in my previous post, I will be publicly sitting for 4 hours on Saturday, between 11AM and 3PM, in support of the Interdependence Project. This is the annual fund raising [...]

Meb Keflezighi wins the NYC Marathon

This was my first time watching the NYC Marathon. It was an amazing experience. The entire neighborhood was in the street, cheering, making noise, dancing, and having fun, welcoming with the same enthusiastic support the first runners and the last runners, the fast and the slow, as people of all races and ages streamed through. More [...]

Sponsor me, as I sit still.

You might know that I am part of the Interdependence Project (IDP), a non-profit organization based in Manhattan blending meditation, art, and activism. On November 7, I will meditate for 4 hours as part of a 24-hour meditation marathon organized to support IDP’s annual fundraising.

The City that always sleeps on the subway

Antonella — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 14:46:21 +0000

The cheerful person who defined New York City as the city that never sleeps must have never stepped on a subway car. There is no time of the day, no subway line, no neighborhood that is immune from the army of NYC subway car sleepers. We sleep in the morning and in the evening, but [...]

Happy right now!

I’m looking out of the window at a bright blue sky and the naked tree branches of the end of winter, with new buds waiting for the spring a few weeks away, shivering in the loud wind. For a moment, just a moment, I feel at peace. Just looking out of my window and listening [...]

You might have noticed that I suspended my blog…

Antonella — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 04:09:35 +0000

At the beginning of October I decided to suspend my blog, and my life. I took a month off from work, packed my stuff, and jumped on a bus to Pennsylvania. I worked for a month in Norristown, the Headquarter of the Obama-Biden campaign in Montgomery County as a volunteer coordinator for Lower Providence, West [...]

Post-debate meditation on loneliness, greatness, and imperfection

Antonella — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 20:41:37 +0000

Starting next week, I will be in Pennsylvania talking to undecided voters and getting out the vote. Just to be clear, this means doing all the things I’m not good at and scares the shit out of me. But I’ll try to do my best, and to make a difference. Never more than today, [...]

An urgent call to action

Antonella — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 02:55:53 +0000

Dear friends, I know that many of you are passionate about this elections as I am, and want to see Barack Obama elected in November with all your heart. (if you are reading this post and you are planning to vote for McCain, that’s OK. But please, please, verify the information you take for granted, and [...]

I’m American and I’m voting this November

Antonella — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 22:34:41 +0000

So it happened. Last Wednesday, with 65 other people from 40 countries, I became an American Citizen. And you can see that I’m quite happy about it. Because now, my dear friends, I can vote. Yes, I can. And so should you.

Pride!
