After dusting off my copy of The Seat of the Soul, I thought about other books that have been transformative in my life. The first one that came to mind – IMMEDIATELY – is The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz. I read this book probably 10 years ago for… Continue reading SL Book: The Four Agreements

Spring's Bounty
In perusing the internet this weekend, I was giddy to find Vogue.com’s feature on six new (and very special!) cookbooks for the Spring season. Though most of them are way too fancy schmancy for me (i.e., I don’t understand 1/2 of the terms in most of the recipes!), I have joined the club of people… Continue reading Spring's Bounty
Style Inspiration: Grace Kelly
Everything about Grace Kelly-her talent, her beauty, her style, her confidence, her grace-ness-was extraordinary (Silver Lining).

Super Soul Sunday with Gary Zukav
Recently I came across Oprah’s Super Soul Sundays which airs on Sunday mornings on OWN. Get it? Like Super Bowl…but for the Soul.

Creativity
In this omni-competitive world in which we live, I am incredibly inspired by Ayn Rand’s quote. I hope that it does the same for you (Silver Lining).
Add Flair to Your Life!
One of my favorite people on the planet is Joe Nye. He is a decorator (he prefers this description over interior designer). We became good friends a couple of years ago, which was a major Silver Lining in my life! He is not only incredibly talented, but also hysterically funny, charming, smart, capable, and impeccable with… Continue reading Add Flair to Your Life!
Six Tips on Writing
Who knew after a diagnosis of FBC (f-bomb breast cancer for new readers) that I would find a new passion and profession in writing. It’s pretty exciting, inspiring and, truth be told, nerve-wracking. At the end of the day, though, writing always brings Silver Linings into my life, for which I am extraordinarily grateful! Recently, I’ve… Continue reading Six Tips on Writing
