Green is one of my favorite colors (next to pink, of course!). So, I thought I’d share some inspirational green images and a few Silver Lined tidbits about the color itself. Grass green is the most restful color. Green symbolizes self-respect and well being. Green is favored by well balanced people. Green symbolizes the master healer… Continue reading Giddy about Green

Fashion SL's: The Office of Angela Scott
Last week in Santa Barbara, I had the opportunity to attend a trunk show for a new shoe company called The Office of Angela Scott. Oh my goodness am I ever smitten. I have always had an affinity for shoes (ok, an obsession!). And can I just say that Angela Scott’s shoes are heavenly!
Giving: Khan Academy
One of the new features of the blog redesign is the addition of a new category called “Giving.” Philanthropy is a high priority in our family and so I thought I’d include this aspect of our life in my writing.

It is with great anticipation and excitement that I announce that really super fun changes are on the Silver Lined horizon. In fact, I’m smack dab in the middle of redesigning the blog. To call me thrilled would truly be an understatement. In fact, I’m simply giddy!
1st Cancerversary
As you may recall, last weekend was the one year anniversary of my FBC diagnosis. I will now also always remember the weekend for running a 1/2 Marathon exactly one year later.
Running the 1/2 Marathon on Sunday was truly one of the great experiences of my life (Silver Lining). It was so powerful because it symbolized the end of illness and the rebirth of my health.
