Gift of Life
Gosh, this issue has been fun. But before I
say a thing…get out your scissors! ‘Cause
this is a first for this magazine. Go right
to pages 23, 25 and 27 and clip a valuable
coupon or coupons that appeal to you! Even if you decide not to use the coupon,
remind the merchant that you saw it and
considered it in Inside Chappaqua! From
the bottom of my heart, thank you! And
Happy Holidays!
Now, a word about Bal Agrawal and “BALance”… I figured a story about a highly
successful and colorful Chappaqua resident
and businessman who seems to float so effortlessly
between spiritual and commercial worlds would strike
a nice balance in this “gifts we treasure” edition. Bal
speaks eloquently in Jean Sheff’s interview about the
importance of incorporating peace and tranquility in
our busy lives and seems to have genuinely mastered
the art of doing so! Hats off to you, Bal, for being such
a great sport in striking that nifty yoga pose–and to his
staff too for indulging IC’s quest for a decidedly different kind of Holiday cover. Thank you, Marianne Campolongo, for a great shoot.
To further “balance” this issue, I included Michael
Kohn’s Gotta Have Arts story about the sweet and
talented Chappaqua Singers, Michall Jeffers’ tale about
two Greeley kids who coach folks on computer and
internet literacy in free workshops at the Chappaqua
Library, and serene, nature images by Joanna Cirasella
in Worth a Thousand Words. Included too: An Are You
Single? package! Michael Lauterborn reports on popular groups for singles; Deborah Nelson offers tips for healthy cooking
and a soothing Winter soup recipe; and
Susan Piperato writes about “empty nest
syndrome” from the perspective of a single mom. As many of you may remember,
I launched Single&smart magazine in the
summer so those were articles slated for a
second print edition. I’m proud to publish
them in IC for now.
A final note: Don’t miss the stories and
spotlights about fundraisers around town
on behalf of hugely important causes such as battling
breast cancer, food allergies and juvenile diabetes. There’s also an article and public service message all
about eating disorders by Chappaqua’s Dr. Rachel Levy
Lombara that I’m proud to co-sponsor.
The gift of life is the ultimate one, of course. Very
recently, I met a wonderful woman in town, who is
from out of town. She has a great sense of humor, a
shimmering light, but she has been, sadly, struggling
with cancer and receiving treatments nearby. I am very
grateful for her presence in my life–and not just for
proper perspective. Making an unexpected new friend
at my age is a precious gift too. P.S.: I’m convinced no one appreciates life more than
my Dad. He recently published a book called MIRF,
and is one of this issue’s many wonderful sponsors.
Thank you, Dad.

Letter to the Editor
I really enjoyed (& related to) Kris Ruby’s article in September
on how social media is helping to jump-start new businesses. I started my business last year introducing Arbonne to the
community at large and one of the first things I did was set
up a Twitter account. I’ve also found Facebook to be a great
resource for personal branding by helping to build buzz about
my products as well as the business opportunity associated
with them for people looking to create an additional residual
stream of income.

First Annual Walk Sheds Light on Food Allergy
Approximately 12 million Americans suffer from food allergy, a
potentially life-threatening medical condition, and five Chappaqua
families have embarked on a
mission to educate and enlighten
the public. “People might not realize having a food allergy means
someone can die if they eat one of
the allergens and aren’t treated in
time,” said Stacey Saiontz, whose
son, Jared, 3, suffers from food
allergies to dairy, egg, wheat, and
several other foods. “Fortunately,
few people ever witness the severity of a food allergic reaction and
often we don’t know how any
given person will react to foods
they’re allergic to. The result is

raise awareness. It was amazing!
200 friends and family members
from Chappaqua came out to support Jared, Ryder Stein, Spencer
Brown, Zach Paley, and Jordana
and Kayla Singer. It was such a
special team because it was all our
food allergic children’s friends
who support them on a day-today basis,” said Saiontz. Chappakids4acure had the largest team,
raising $24,000 for FAAN, a nonprofit organization that raises
public awareness through education, advocacy, and research. “It
was a great opportunity for us to
join together for a special day for
our kids and raise much-needed
funds to find a cure for these
life-threatening allergies.”
As a result, three Chappaqua
elementary schools and parents
of food allergic children have
formed a food allergy support
group. “From the principal and
working it’s way down, everyone
is aware of our son Ryder and his
needs and is beyond committed
to assuring his safety while at
school,” said Julie Stein. “Children
are our future and their sense of
togetherness, tolerance for difference, protecting each other–that’s
something we all should learn
from.” Stein stresses the need for continued awareness. “The numbers
of children affected is on the
rise. That’s why opportunities for
fundraisers are crucial as we work
toward a cure,” she said Stein. “These children have been dealt a
challenging hand and our job as a
community is to support, nourish,
and keep them safe.”

A new way of
Increasing Blood Circulation
Has Now Been Published!
MIRF is a health enhancing method
which is efficient and easy to implement. Its advantages make it ideal,
especially for young adults. It can prevent THE RISK OF autism and HIV and
can lower high blood pressure forever.
Instead of checking blood pressure to
see how sick you are, check and monitor your blood speed to see how fast
you are healing. In this book, pioneering author, 87 year old Holocaust
survivor Jacob Breitstein, gives a comprehensive discussion on how this new
method can help people in so many
ways. Physical therapists, chiropractors, and physicians can enhance their
services by embracing MIRF too!

Finding Your Kid’s Inner Athlete
On every playground, soccer field
or baseball diamond, we see children who lag well behind in the
key physical skills required to become a good athlete. Derek Jeter
was probably never one of those
kids, but the distinct skills which
separate him from his peers, are
part of several building blocks
that a proper sports trainer can
utilize to assist children compete
on the playground.
In alluding to the all-star shortstop’s sport’s IQ, Nick Serio of
Kombine Sports in Mt. Kisco says,
“Derek Jeter is in the right place at
the right time–all the time."
As Kombine’s director of Sports
Performance and Youth Devel-
By Rich Monetti
opment, Serio understands the
elements needed to improve
every child’s ability. So by providing baseball “smarts” to place
your sports-challenged athlete in
the right spot for a game-saving
backup, confidence rises and the
rest of her game progresses.
According to Serio, whereas ongoing conversations about game situations may provide a kick-start
for one child, increasing strength
and endurance may be the catalyst
for another. “Becoming strong
enough to hit the cutoff player or
being able to always get back on
defense,” he says, “builds a foundation for future success.”
Of course, there is no ceiling for
instilling confidence. Tapping into and
honing existing strengths
lets children
maximize their
game-day ability.

“We’ll practice
sports-like actions,” he says,
like reading the
nuances of a
pitcher to know
when to steal a
base or learning
how to slide.
Encompassed within all these
x-factors, a trainer should also be
attentive to improving coordination, which to some may seem like
an impediment which cannot be
overcome. “There’s no such thing
as a kid who cannot be an athlete,”
Serio says.
Proprioception, which gives
a sense of relative position of
neighboring body parts, is a key
component to coordination and
can be improved through balance
and stability work. In turn, as the
physical hurdles fall, a trainer can
bring hand-eye coordination and
other factors to align into one
working system.
Still, finding a sport that best
suits the abilities of a particular
child can take time–especially if it
is one not within the confines of
“traditional” games. “Allow them
to explore other sports,” he says,
“and once they become comfortable with something,” he adds,
“encourage them through and
through.”

Are You Single?
Yes, Food Impacts Your Mood!
By Deborah Nelson
So often we
succumb to our
cravings. We
have a bad day,
feel lonely, sad or
mad, or a combination of all.
One common solution is to “treat”
ourselves to “comfort” food, such
as cookies, ice cream or fast food.
Most of the time, however, that
comfort is short-lived, but we
have succeeded in putting junk
into our bodies. Then, we feel even
worse, beating ourselves up with
guilt for not sticking to a more
healthy diet. It is an awful cycle–
does it sound familiar?
Food can be a real tool to help
manage how we feel. Proper nutrients are absolutely needed to fuel
our bodies, but healthy foods can
actually pick you up and make you
feel better. Once you recognize
this additional benefit, it becomes
easier to not allow an upsetting
event ruin your entire day and/or
night. Knowing that the highs and
lows of junk food can make you
feel worse is the first step in limiting their role in your diet.
Being single is definitely one
factor which tests us nutritionally. Often, it feels like it is hardly
worth “cooking for one.” However,
it is extremely important to fuel
your body properly, especially as
a single person who wants to feel
and look their best!
Remember, what you eat goes
into your body and then is carried
around your system to feed every
single cell in you. And food feeds
your emotions too. Did you know
that? It also impacts your sex
drive!

Are You Single?
Refeathering the Empty Nest
By Susan Piperato
The empty nest is “part of the
natural progression of growth
and development in children and
families,” says Healthy Workplaces, LLC founder Mallary Tytel,
but can be especially trying for
single parents. This was certainly
borne out by two single moms I
know, whose nests emptied the
year my older son left home. Beth,
a lawyer and widow, went on such
a shopping spree when her son
moved down South that she has
put their house up for sale to cover her debts. And Pamela, a dance
instructor who divorced while her
daughter was in her teens, visited
her daughter’s college in Manhattan so often, offering lunch, pedicures, or gallery trips, that finally
her daughter tearfully refused her.
“The poor kid,” Pamela told me, “I
Kids leaving home can be as
mind-blowing as their arrival,
says Tina B. Tessina, Southern
California psychotherapist and
blogger “Dr. Romance”–“the
reverse of ‘baby shock’–the reaction that happens when a baby
changes your life overnight.”
Recognizing that when your kids
are gone, you’re on your own is
sound thinking, says Ed Moran,
licensed clinical social worker
at Family Centers in Fairfield
County, Connecticut. “I don’t
think single parents are more
susceptible to experiencing it, but
I think perhaps the way it can be
experienced is different for single
parents,” he says. “Although fathers
can go through it, it’s traditionally
the mother we associate with the
empty nest–and a woman who’s
been a mother and a wife has
somebody right there to lean on
and help them through it. But for
single parents, it can be extremely
devastating. “
Mt. Kisco family therapist Sharon
Giles O’Neill believes single parents “fall at two ends of a normal
bell curve/continuum.” Some have
developed such close relationships
with their kids that they consider
them best friends and confidantes, she says, while others,
“due to job/career needs, did not
spend a lot of one-on-one time
with their child–in these kinds of
cases, the parent may feel more
relief from guilt, but less attachment emotions.”
So, what’s a single parent to do?
Start preparing a year ahead, says
Tytel. Teach your child to live
independently–including how to do
laundry, cook, and balance a check-

book. Senior year is a time of “tug of
war between independence and interdependence,” she warns, and for
“looking forward and being open to
the unknown” and “open communication.” Talking about everything
from “fears, feelings of being alone,”
to “what the parent will do with the
extra time and space” will help the
transition.
While some experts advise embarking on extreme makeovers
immediately upon a child’s departure–including redecorating,
meeting new people, dating, volunteering, and changing careers–
Giles O’Neill cautions against
taking on too much too fast. “Give
thought to what hobbies, etc.,
you might suddenly have time for
and possibly enter into, maybe
one, in a small way to have a little
experience before you’re alone,”
she says. After all, when the nest
empties, parents need to practice
spreading wings before they fly–
just like their children.

Instead of watching a movie as
planned, I spent the evening sitting on the couch, pondering how
my life will change next year when
my younger son leaves for college.
I’d been secretly dreading this
since his older brother, now 20,
left two years ago; now I realized
there was only one year left until
my nest fully emptied–and when
it did, unless I made changes, my
life could remain as stagnant as it
suddenly looked from the couch.
So I did what I do in any crisis:
lots of research.

I’ve been a full-time single parent
for 13 years, so I’ve never take
time away from my two beloved
sons for granted. When I dropped
off my younger son, 17, at Newark
Airport to visit his older brother
in Chicago last summer, I drove
home happy to have two weeks
alone. But when I got back, something seemed amiss. Maybe it was
the lone sneaker standing in the
entryway, or the Frisbee on the
antique chest in the living room.
Whatever the reason, I suddenly
felt as empty as my house.

At Bet Torah Nursery School in
Mount Kisco, Mindy Citera suggests gift certificates to “give the
gift of fun.” Grandparents may
wish to give a mommy and me
or mom’s day out class. Contributing toward tuition is another
gratifying option.
For the quintessential New Year’s
resolution. Maria Briones, M.D.,
has the answer. Her patients can
attest to the efficacy of her weight
loss program. Briones offers the
support and guidance which are
vital to success. Through a carefully planned
diet and exercise program,
she insures
that the
weight loss is
permanent.
A Not-for-Profit Corporation
Ellen Koelsch
of Club Fit
recommends
a gift card.
She noted
that the card
contains, “The
nice message
that you care
about their
health.” Cards
may be used
toward anything at the
club including massage,
clothing, personal training,
or a meal at
the cafe.
A gift card or customized basket
from Emmary Day Spa affords
your friend the gift of indulgence.
Hydrafacials are their most popular treatment. Emmary is the
only spa in Westchester to offer
this type of facial which is designed for sensitive skin.
Massage, soy candles, teas,
cleansers, and moisturizers are
also available.
At Eye Designs, optician Jamie
Herman noted that prescription
sunglasses by Oliver Peoples and
Tom Ford are popular gifts for the
holidays. He also recommends
digital progressive lenses. The advantage of these multifocal lenses
is that they are easy to adapt to.
Eye Designs also features optical
fashion accessories. They carry
eye-bobs (ready made readers) in
funky shapes and patterns and la
loop; eye catching eye glass holders seen on Heidi Klum.
At the dermatological practice of
Lydia Evans, M.D., treats for a

you plan an exciting and festive
intimate at-home wine tasting
dinner with family and friends. Chef/Owner Thomas Cuomo will
personally go to your home with
his sommelier. (Think Prosecco
with a wild mushroom bruschetta, luscious braised short ribs
and creamy mascarpone polenta
with a hearty Moltepulciano and
biscotti with Vin Santo!) Another
idea might be to book an at-home
cooking class for you and your
At Hilltop Wines and Spirits,
describe the type of wine you’re
looking for and owner Peter Costello will find the ideal match or
assemble a customized gift basket. Additionally, Costello recommends offering a membership in
his Wine Club. Members receive
a case of wines selected by certified sommelier Costello, delivered
to their home each month. On
Saturdays from 2-6, he hosts wine
tastings from different
regions and producers.
All featured wines are on special

top picks for this holiday season
are the: 2009 Bordeaux, vintage
ports, single malt scotch, champagne, and prosecco.

What do you do if you are single or
newly single? Sure, you could join a
dating site, but then what? Where
do you go and what do you do on
your date? Maybe you don’t think a
site devoted strictly to dating is for
you. Fortunately, the Internet has
some great resources including social networking groups which offer
lots of ideas for activities you can
enjoy in Westchester and the New
York Metro area. Below is a small
sampling…
Meet Up!
Meetup promotes itself as “the
world’s largest network of local
groups.” The online service makes
it very simple for anyone to organize a local group around his or
her personal interest/s or to join
one of the thousands of groups
already meeting. According to the
site, more than 2,000 groups get
together in local communities
each day. It’s a great way for single
and newly single people to narrow
their search for a mate to those
with common interests, while
widening one’s social circle at the
same time. The service boasts
7.2 million members and claims
250,000 monthly meetups. For
info, go to: www.meetup.com

Wine & Dine!
Local Wine Events is a
free online service which
notifies subscribers
of local food and wine
events which are great
opportunities to meet
friends and potential
love interests with a
discerning palate and a
passion for good taste. It
was founded and developed by Eric V. Orange
who has distinguished
himself in the wine
industry for the past 20
years. Site users can plug in their
specific region of interest by name
or zip code and see a list of wine
events by date, with event details,
cost and location included.

When it’s time to celebrate, call
the party planner par excellence.
Monique Ross Banks is now the
event planner and coordinator
of Party! By Monique. She
recommends giving the gift of a
celebration this holiday season.
“I’ve always loved gifts that you
wouldn’t necessarily go out and
get yourself,” she said. When
there’s a reason to fete a friend
or relative, Monique is the go to
gal. Ever since Monique planned
bar and bat mitzvahs for her three
children, she has been receiving
compliments and requests for advice from friends and family. Today she plans a myriad of events
including bar and bat mitzvahs,
weddings, and corporate events.
From cocktail and dinner parties
to lavish affairs, Monique does it
all, with inimitable flair. When
planning a bar or bat mitzvah she
related that her goal is, “to make
this event the most memorable
event of a family’s life.”
Rosenthal JCC also offers gift
certificates for programs such as
mommy and me classes, drop-in
childcare, or nursery school.
At Squires, one will find a trove
of Hunter boots in a wide array
of colors as well as coordinating,
“welly” socks, for added warmth. Owner Michael Kushner is restricting sales of this hot item to local
residents who come into the store.
No orders are being shipped. Other
attractive gifts include the ever
popular, cashmere sweaters in
v-neck and shawl collar cardigan
models. He also has trendy, Volcom
sweatshirts which are sure to please
even the most discerning teenager.
At Steffi Nossen School of Dance,
Judy Ross recommends a gift
certificate for “grandparents,
aunts, and uncles to support their
dancing child.” Additionally, she
advocates coming in for free dance
week from January 10-15. Dancers may try as many classes as
they would like, sans obligation.
At The Perennial Chef in Bedford Hills, presents abound. The
gift of having food appear on the
table effortlessly is sure to please
during the hustle and bustle of
the holiday season. Turkey, ham,
filet mignon, brisket, salmon,
latkes, chestnut stuffing, and
cheese platters are on the holiday menu. The real creme de la
creme are the desserts created by
chef Michael. French macarons
–not to be confused with coconut
macaroons–are his delectable pastries which begin with a crunch
and end with cream. Cookies
are fashioned in the shape of
Santas and dreidels. Proprietor
Francoise Jarry has selected herb
mills, (for grinding herbs) hors
d’oeuvres sets, truffles, plates, and
stemware. Her gift certificates
and baskets will bring holiday
cheer to the foodie in your life.
Wags and Whiskers has
presents for the family dog as well
as their owners. They are touting
truly durable toys including balls;
made of recycled seat belts in the
shape of a spider and bear and
rabbit shaped toys (sans stuffing).
“We have pet beds with the most
gorgeous fabrics,” owner Christine
Meyer noted. Marble topped pet
dishes are designed to compliment the kitchen. And of course,
Fido may be treated to a luxurious
shampoo and cut.
At World Cup Gymnastics and
Nursery School, gift certificates are
available for giving holiday cheer.
The kids’ night out program provides fun for kids and fun for parents. Kids are entertained for four
hours while parents are free to catch
a movie and have dinner. Grandparents may also be interested in
purchasing a session of nursery
school, enrichment, gymnastics, or
a junior scientist class for the light
of their life. Jeannine Johansen of
World Cup is a huge proponent of
gymnastics. “When you leave gymnastics, you always feel like you’ve
accomplished something,” she said.
The Rosenthal JCC is promoting their Chanukah Gift Factory
& Shalom Sesame Launch Party
on December 5th. This is a family
friendly event where children create gifts such as keychains, picture
frames and menorahs to give to
family and friends. The program
“Can Grover find the missing
menorah” will be screened. Children can also make and eat dreidels made out of marshmallows,
Hershey kisses, and pretzels. Latkes will be sizzling for hungry
artists and their families. The
The Fashionista’s
Friend
By Sarah Ellen Berman
Babette, elegance personified,
reigns at her boutique. When
crossing the threshold of Elegance
II, one is instantly surrounded by
beauty and its infinite possibilities.
Whether the motivation is a quest
for a new accessory or the desire for
a radically different look, the recognition that this is the perfect place
is felt immediately.
What is it that keeps customers
coming back in droves season after
season? Babette’s sense of style
is certainly an integral part of the
draw. She honed her fashion sense
at an early age while accompanying her mother–a stylist to the elite
in France–on buying expeditions.
Babette returns to the city of light
twice a year to stay in tune with the

Babette’s friendly demeanor and
effervescent personality contribute
greatly to the attractiveness of her
shop. An inquiry about a pair of
Manolos or a Louis Vuitton purse
brings a smile to her face and a
twinkle to her eye. The advice she
offers and the style she imparts are
welcomed by all.
Glance at the window display when
entering the store. Here are Babette’s treasures: Chanel bags. This
is the showcase for the latest model

Babette attributes part of her success to the rise in popularity of consignment venues. In the past, many
people harbored the misconception
that the quality of the products
was not of paramount importance.
When Hollywood stars including
Demi Moore were sighted at shops,
consignment’s reputation soared.
Whether it’s a gift certificate or an
outfit, a present from Elegance II is
destined to delight the fashionista
in your life. Babette’s exquisite
taste pervades her collection. For
those who think that the present of
an Hermes scarf is too extravagant
in this parlous economic climate, a
trip to Elegance II will be pleasantly
enlightening in every way except on
the wallet. Recent finds included a
violet dress by Alexander McQueen
and a multi-colored coat by Jean
Paul Gauthier.
The clientele are unanimous in
their affinity for Elegance II. Eileen
Josefs, a very frequent shopper,
enjoys each and every visit. “It’s
fun. It’s an adventure,” she said.
When comparing the prices charged
on Madison Avenue to those of
Elegance II, customer Rosemarie
Bedenson said, “You think you’re
crazy for paying retail!”

legendary former eatery. They operate seven days a week,
all year round. Lampert , a

performed in the high-traffic

Said Roche, “the program
wove a rich musical tapestry that
paid tribute to those who perished
in the events of September 11. I

who work in New York has deep

How Bal Agrawal’s Life “Worx”
& How He Can Add Peace and Calm to Yours
Near the intersection of Routes
117 and 120, just opposite the
New Castle Firehouse, sits a
stately brick building. Perched
above the fray, those inside can
watch as daily life whizzes by in
Chappaqua.
By Jean Sheff • Photos by Marianne Campolongo
The building is occupied by LifeWorx, a firm established six years
ago by Bal Agrawal, a former
Fortune 500 executive who has
come to realize the sanctity of
“home.” The offices are clean and
sleek. Only a half wall separates
employees, who appear to enjoy
the transparency of the layout.
The space is a perfect mix of business meets life. There’s a wellappointed kitchen, a white couch
and white side-chairs, life-size
white boards for meetings and
walls lined with modern portraits
by Venture Photography. Touches
of black and brown ground the
1,000-square-foot space and
healthy granola bars fill a silver
serving-dish. The atmosphere is
calm and organized.
What Came Before
Bal, 60, who was born in India, has
spent more than half his life in the
States. Meeting him, one is set immediately at ease. It would be hard
to imagine his life as anything but
streamlined and orderly. Yet this
erudite gentleman, who has a Ph.D.
(from M.I.T.) in material science,
has seen his share of upheaval.
Bal says he was “somewhat naïve”
when he fell in love with a young
woman in India, who presented
what he calls a “Guess Who’s
Coming to Dinner” situation. Bal
was raised in a traditional Hindu
family and Candida was a Catholic
Portuguese girl. The only way he
could see the relationship working was to come to America. So,
he applied to an American col-
class, maybe a massage, a good
lunch, and then I am back to new.”
Although he doesn’t claim to be
religious, if pushed, he does admit
to being somewhat spiritual.
Those who work with him are
more forthcoming. Brian Martin,
director of client relations for
LifeWorx, readily uses the word
spiritual to describe his boss.
lege and left India when he was
accepted. They set up home in
Michigan, which wound up to be a
poor choice, and crisscrossed the
country studying, living or working before finally settling with
their young son Neel, in Briarcliff.
Bal was enjoying his work at
Praxair, Inc. when his wife took
ill. She was diagnosed with breast
cancer and after fighting for two
years she succumbed to the illness
at age 42. Bal remembers coming
home from one of their first medical appointments. “It was autumn.
There was a beautiful moon out
and I could see the leaves falling
slowly to the ground just as our
tears fell like raindrops down our
face,” he says.
Not everyone can express their

difficult to take him to task. After
only a few minutes it becomes
clear that his expressiveness is a
large part of his being. That’s not
to say he is always serious. He has
a lively smile and a hearty laugh.
He enjoys his fun as much as he
enjoys his work. “At the end of

Losing a beloved spouse is one
thing. Picking up the pieces is
quite another, especially when
a child is involved. Neel was 11
when his mother was first diagnosed. He lived with her illness
through his tweens and entered
his teenage years without her.
Bal makes it clear that Candida
was a caring woman who not only
worked as an administrator for
Ossining’s Open Door, but also established a home that was a haven
to her husband and son.
Bal clearly appreciates the value
women bring both to the home
and to the workforce. He shared
his passionate views on the subject recently when he gave a talk
at the Women’s Empowerment
Conference at the Hyatt Regency
in Greenwich.
In many ways, the seeds of LifeWorx were planted as Bal tried to
deal with his shattered life after
his wife’s death. “My son was in
bed depressed, the roof was leaking, my household help had just
stolen the silverware and left,”
he says. He knew he needed help,
but didn’t know where to turn.
Eventually he found a wonderful
new household assistant but the
thought that there wasn’t a centralized organization which could
disseminate this information
quickly and professionally would
stay with him.
Neel, who is now 30, eventually moved west to attend the
University of Southern California. While there, he became
increasingly ill and required
several hospitalizations. “It’s
something I wasn’t comfortable
talking about before, but now I
can say that my son suffers from
mental illness,” says Bal. It was
at this time that Bal says he hit
bottom. “It was like a one-two
punch,” he says. Yet, it was also
the time when Bal, who doesn’t
belabor the point, says he felt

Bal brought Neel home, moved
to Chappaqua and began the task
of remodeling his new home and
rebuilding his life. “It was the first

appealed to him.
It was also the time to make a
bold move. “I had a wonderful job,
but I had always wanted to develop my own business,” he says. He
took about six months to develop
his thoughts and then committed
himself to the challenge of building LifeWorx.
He opened the doors in 2004,
and when a positive article in The
New York Times ran in January of
2005, the phone started ringing
and hasn’t stopped. At first, the
firm focused primarily on pet care
together with chef and organizing
services. In dealing with clients,
Bal found that once he got to the
core of their issue, there were
other services they really needed.
Streamlining lifestyles by incorporating the right assistance in
the home developed into a focus.
Bal says he’s pleased that so many
of his clients say, “You get it! You
understand my issues and the
challenges.”
Bal and his team (he has four
employees in the Chappaqua location and two in a new location in

Martin, who has been in the hospitality and service industry since
his teens, says Bal runs a “top
notch organization.” There are “reports, accountability and weekly
meetings,” he says. LifeWorx takes
what’s best from the corporate
world, adds high-end customer
service and superior experts to
solve the daily challenges many
households face. Martin says that
while the staff is extremely professional, they are also down to
earth. “We are not robots; we are
people and encourage clients to
just talk to us so we can understand their needs and help solve
them,” Martin says.
LifeWorx has an extensive interview process. Barbara Bogart
of Harrison is a LifeWorx eldercare expert. She’s worked with
the company for four years and
respects their procedures. “All
experts are screened, go through
a full background check and a
LifeWorx sets their standards
very high. “We never send someone out there with our fingers
crossed,” Martin says. Their due
diligence is a huge part of their
success. “Our success rate is huge,”
says Martin.
Serenity
Bal says his home can run on autopilot and that gives him a sense
of ease and calm. It also gives him
the time and energy to do what he
needs and wants to do. He cooks
about four hours a week and works
to live a balanced lifestyle. “Health
is such a gift,” he says. He’s been a
devoted yoga student for the past
five years. He brings his personal
quest for a peaceful home to work
with him everyday. “Life can be
stressful, helping people create a
functioning home that can be their
respite is very rewarding,” he says.
As for his own respite, Bal hopes to
walk across America with his son
and his girlfriend within the next
five years.

The Better Half
By Rick Reynolds
Anyway, during that time and within
these pages I’ve written about such
dark and sordid subjects as puppies, parenthood, holidays, sharing,
gardening, knitting, and cookies,
to name just a few. And I hope I’ve
made not merely a few lives a little
more tolerable in the process. I’m
here to tell you, all the above are
survivable!
It’s not that I’m overly critical.
I just have little patience for the
“glass-half-full” people–or their
“glass-half-empty” counterparts.
Call me literal, but I just see the half
glass. (Not literally, of course: not a
half glass filled to the gunwales, but
a whole glass half full.) So, in a world
of “halfs” and “half nots,” I’m a “half,”
deadlocked precisely midway between unvarnished reality and gauzy
optimism.
And what’s wrong with a half a glass
anyway? It whets your whistle, and
it’s enough to get your pills down.
Moreover, with our latest market
meltdown, I’d like to think “half” is
the new “black.” Half is better than
none and more sustainable than
“all.” And promoting “half” avoids
platitudes. For instance, for those
who say, “When one door closes, another one opens,” I was the one who
wanted to pick the lock on the closed
one–seeing the new door as a trap.
As a Bell School student, I dreamt
of becoming either a theoretical
physicist or a bank robber. Having
little talent for either, I re-imagined
myself a theoretical bank robber
with a hankering for art. Thankfully, Stanley Tucci, the renown art
teacher at Greeley (and father of the
famous actor by the same name),
fanned the embers of my artistic
half, wisely telling me I could always
become a bank robber later on if I
really wanted it badly enough. What
a difference one teacher can make in
your life!
homes–knock on wood. The patient
is still alive! Customers want to buy,
especially locally, if they can find you.
With Mr. Tucci’s encouragement,
I went on to study fine art, minoring in communication design as a
lifeline. This armed me with the skills
to try and make the unsightly half of
the world half attractive. After college I moved back to Chappaqua and
ran a marketing communications/
corporate events firm for 25 years
out of NYC and Armonk.
Sure, the good publisher and editor had scratched her head at some
of my submissions, wondering if
one can make half sense, or half
nonsense, and still have any validity whatsoever–and I credit her with
hanging in there. I certainly hope
that, with this “economy of half” in
which we find ourselves, advertisers will see that a small town print
magazine is worth much more than
the paper it’s printed on. It’s imprinted on our fabric. It’s community.
When we lose that, we’ve lost half
the battle–the only half worth writing about.
And then with, yes, a new door opening–one I picked–I took a position
as a marketing director at a thriving
national timber frame homebuilding
firm. Bucking the downward trend
in new home construction, I’ve used
print advertising to great effect, and
while many of our competitors have
hunkered down and gone under, our
shops are busy turning out beautiful, energy efficient, heirloom quality
But I’m digressing. Where was I? Oh
yes. Writing for Inside Chappaqua.
