Someone invited me to a lecture this morning. She said I would enjoy it, because I am smart. My yoga instructor told me I am doing very well, even though I spent the last fifteen minutes of class praying for no more down dogs. Ha! I thought, imagine if I saw myself through their eyes.… Continue reading Through Your Eyes

A Blogging Megaphone
A dear friend of mine blogs often. Actually, daily. She blogs really well too (that is she is shrewd, witty and generally on top of the news – even the not so important stuff.) There is no real theme to her blogging, but indubitably her opinion on just about any subject prevails. I follow a… Continue reading A Blogging Megaphone

Together We Can Save the World
Last week I was the keynote speaker at a JAFCO (Jewish Adoption and Foster Care Options) luncheon. A few years ago, I never would have envisioned myself as the keynote speaker anywhere. What might I have spoken about? More importantly who would want to listen? But Shades of Gray has taken me down some new… Continue reading Together We Can Save the World
Dedicated to Teachers That Make a Difference
On Facebook I read about a teacher from my junior high school that passed away recently. I was never fortunate enough to have her, but her reputation was such that I remember her well. In one of the posted photos, Ms. Morell is on a field trip with Mr, Byrnes. Mr. Byrnes, on the other… Continue reading Dedicated to Teachers That Make a Difference
Where There is Passion; There is Hope
Another article about Fifty Shades found its way to the front page of my local newspaper recently. Frankly, I am numb. This one boasts that due to Ms. James infamous, erotic novels, “businesses focusing on sexuality are seeing a significant increase in sales.” Well, there is good news. I know I will sleep better tonight… Continue reading Where There is Passion; There is Hope
Capitalizing on New York and London
Not that anyone has asked me, but if young people wanted advice about writing I might jump right in and introduce them to some old friends, Strunk & White. Old fashion, perhaps, but there is something about the formality that its pages outline that I still kind of like. I understand the new theory that… Continue reading Capitalizing on New York and London
Lessons My Father Taught Me
I have to admit, I like mother’s day so much more than father’s day. At this point in my life it is simply, because it is the one day of the year when I get totally smothered in appreciation and pampering. For twenty years, as long as I have been a mother, my family has… Continue reading Lessons My Father Taught Me
I’m Not Judging
I hate to keep harping on this, but since it still keeps finding ways to squeeze in to my life, I thought I would share. Yes, I am going to talk about sex again. Apparently, it is a hot topic (forgive the pun). Daily EL James and her Fifty naughty Shades of Grey continue to… Continue reading I’m Not Judging
Giving Back 2
I spent days perusing more websites in search of the right match for my philanthropic endeavors or, as I prefer to look at it, an opportunity to pay it forward. I have to admit that while I am enjoying the thrill of finally publishing my first novel, I had a great sense of accomplishment each… Continue reading Giving Back 2
