Change is in the Air!
First of all, I’d like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU all for reading this blog. I am deeply honored and humbled by your support and continued enthusiasm for my writing. Truly. Thank you.

Silver Lining Luncheon: Elizabeth Taylor's Legendary Jewels Go to Auction
Today was an incredibly Silver Lined day: a fancy schmancy luncheon hosted by Christie’s held at MOCA in Los Angeles to view Elizabeth Taylor’s jewelry (prior to auction)…with girlfriends. A day doesn’t really get better than that, if you ask me!
