Because I’m not doing any cooking this week thanks to our holiday week, I thought I’d share a great foodie experience that we had at Flora Farm in San Jose del Cabo. Wowsy. Bowsy. What an unexpected Silver Lining of our trip THAT was! Flora Farm is a magnificent ten-acre organic farm in the foothills of the… Continue reading Flora Farms in Cabo San Lucas

Guest Post: BRCA2+ – My New and Unwanted Status
Today, I am excited to share with you a guest post by Nancy Stordahl author of the blog www.nancyspoint.com. She shares her experience of being BRCA2+, something that was not part of my diagnosis. I’m so grateful to her for this contribution and her insight. Some words hold the power to change lives forever. Cancer is… Continue reading Guest Post: BRCA2+ – My New and Unwanted Status
Spring Vacation
Beginning today, I am officially on vacation! Talk about a Silver Lining. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am. Now you know that I travel – a lot. However, as I am feeling particularly haggard after a ridiculously busy start to the year, it occurred to me that my excitement stems from… Continue reading Spring Vacation
Our Favorite Children's Books
On this International Children’s Book day, I thought I’d share a few of our favorite books. As you may recall, Suddenly Seven is a bit of a voracious reader. In fact, if she is naughty, the threat of not being able to read is an incentive to snap out of a mood, which I recognize… Continue reading Our Favorite Children's Books

International Children's Book Day
You all know how much I love books and reading, right? Well, today is International Children’s Book Day! Yippeee doozers! Since 1967, on or around Hans Christian Andersen’s birthday, April 2nd, International Children’s Book Day (ICBD) is celebrated to inspire a love of reading and to call attention to children’s books. How great is this?… Continue reading International Children's Book Day
Bookworm: Love, Loss, and What I Wore
When I was sick, a friend sent Love, Loss, and What I Wore to me. It was the most wonderful Silver Lining on a dark and gloomy-feeling day. It takes about 12 minutes to read and as soon as you finish, you’ll want to start all over. I picked it up again the other day and… Continue reading Bookworm: Love, Loss, and What I Wore
Giving: LiveStrong Community Impact Project
Is there a better way to start the week than by giving back? It’s my favorite way to start any day, much less week. Granted, there has been a lot of hubalaboo surrounding Lance Armstrong. While I’m not going to weigh in on those activities, what I would like to tell you about is a great Silver… Continue reading Giving: LiveStrong Community Impact Project
International Happiness Day
In July 2012, the United Nations General Assembly decreed that March 20th would be International Day of Happiness! Do you think that I could make that up? Well, I’d like to think I could, but they happily beat me to it! It has been created as an opportunity to reflect on what a good human… Continue reading International Happiness Day
National Pi Day
To say that I am not particularly good in math is one of the great understatements of the century. So, National Pi Day (celebrated on 3.14) is a fine line between aspiration and mortification. Pi, in case you can’t quite remember (like moi) is the ratio of circumference to diameter of a circle. On the… Continue reading National Pi Day
