Can I just say that I can't even believe it is already Thanksgiving?   It seems like yesterday that I was witnessing the combination of Halloween candy and Christmas decorations lining store shelves. Oh wait, it was.   I do have a lot to be grateful for and the good...

Getting out of my comfort zone takes a lot of effort.   About a week ago, I received an invitation for a photo shoot to celebrate the second anniversary of one of the magazines where I am a contributor.   This brought me tremendous anxiety but not for the reasons it...

This week brings "prep week"to the new program that I am trying that will, hopefully, offer a sustainable way to lose the gift that that keeps on giving....my weight.   I signed up for the program in a fit of curiosity mixed with a touch of hope.   This week offers a...
