Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase. -Martin Luther King, Jr. In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr., I’m going to ask a couple of questions and I’d love to know your thoughts and responses: What words come to mind when you think of Martin Luther King, Jr.? […]
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz is one of the best “self-help” books I’ve read. It feels like an “easy” read, perhaps because you just keep going deeper and deeper into your soul, peeling away layers. There aren’t case studies to think through – it is essentially your own life. Earlier today a friend […]
I’m all about networking and making connections. This, however, is one connection I can do without – migraines and heart disease. I have suffered with migraine headaches since I was in my early 20s. The debilitating kind – flashing light, extreme sensitivity to light, pain that makes me want to chop my head off. One […]
I love a good awards show. The glitz and glamour get me every time. I love to see what the women are wearing – the colors, the jewels. Last night’s Golden Globes ceremony was no different in that regard, but I also got some lessons in self-esteem. Anne Hathaway’s poignant portrayal of Fantine in “Les […]
People who are interested in becoming vegan often ask me about baking without eggs. I found this image and thought it outlined the possibilities very clearly. I hope you find it useful.

Times are certainly changing and there are more healthy options available now than in the past, but finding gluten-free, vegan food can be challenging (other than a salad with iceberg lettuce). Whether I […]
I was going to write about my favorite travel foods today, but when I saw that “obesity” was trending online this afternoon, I had to take a look and see why. I will share my favorite travel foods tomorrow. This is very important information to share with those you know and love. I was dismayed […]
Yesterday’s New York Times reported data that didn’t really surprise me, but did sadden me. According to Certify, a maker of expense management software, fast food outlets appeared on reports more than other restaurants in 2012. Starbucks topped the list with more than 20,000 transactions averaging $7.54 each. McDonald’s was second with 12,419 transactions averaging […]
Admittedly, I’m late to the apple/iphone party. I use a pc and am still hanging on to my blackberry. But, I did get an iphone 5 about six weeks ago. While I still can’t quite get used to the email features on the iphone, there are certainly qualities I love about it. The night before […]
