Happy Olympics!
The Olympics are coming….Yippeee! I’m super excited about it!! How about you? Swimming is my favorite Olympic sport. I get myself all ver klempt watching it…you would think that I was the mother of one (or all!) of the swimmers. I swam for a year in high school. It was one of the hardest sports… Continue reading Happy Olympics!
Silver Lined Discovery: Chance PJ's
One Silver Lining of FBC (f-bomb breast cancer for new readers) is that I became a pajama connoisseur. There is absolutely nothing like a great pair of jammies when you feel rotten. I happen to appreciate, admire and quite frankly, relish in a wonderfully made pair of pajama’s! So, you can imagine my delight when I… Continue reading Silver Lined Discovery: Chance PJ's
How Fun Does This Look?
In keeping with today’s summertime theme, I was delighted to see the Vogue feature on the Richards Family in Turks and Caicos. The Richards (as in Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones) family always amazes me. The fact that they have remained so closely in tact for decades (despite the sex, drugs and rock and roll… Continue reading How Fun Does This Look?
Summer Reading
My book constipation has been back in a BIG way! Geesh. What is book constipation you ask? Or did you? Well, in case you did wonder…it is when I start a book and just can’t get into it. I just can’t go. Get it? A dear girlfriend also has book constipation…or maybe it’s book aversion.… Continue reading Summer Reading
Dream Vacations
It’s already the middle of summer. Can you believe it? Have you had a vacation yet in 2012? Vacations are, I believe, as important as work. So many people say, “I don’t have time for a vacation.” I always feel bad when people say this. I think, really? Why – the f-bomb – not? I… Continue reading Dream Vacations
Giving: Pediatric Palliative Care
As you may recall, I used to be a pediatric hospice nurse and social worker. What does that mean, exactly? Well, it means that I cared for children and their families facing a potentially life-threatening illness. Many people ask: How (many times with an f-bomb expletive thrown in) on earth could you do that? My response was/is always… Continue reading Giving: Pediatric Palliative Care

Happy Healthy Life
Prior to my experience with FBC (f-bomb breast cancer for new readers), I was a half-full kind of girl. I had a great life, but truth be told, I don’t think that I appreciated it as much as I could have. In fact, I know that I didn’t. There. I said it. Since FBC, however,… Continue reading Happy Healthy Life
Time for a Pajama Day!
Time for a Pajama Day! The first half of this year has been busy beyond belief. I mean, there are days when I don’t know if I’m coming or going, if I’m pitching or catching (I’ve always wanted to use that phrase!). Many-Most of my friends seem to be plagued by the same issue. Everyone… Continue reading Time for a Pajama Day!
