Dec. 9, 2010, Vol. 8 Issue 9 I always have my eyes and ears open for hot new women’s health topics, books and speakers. When the book title, What’s Up Down There? Questions You’d Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Was Your Best Friend, kept showing up on my radar screen, I looked it up… read more
Oct. 6, 2010, Vol. 8 Issue 8 Dear Friends, October is here. Bring it on! This is probably the busiest month of the year for women’s events, which reminds me that it’s a good idea to plan ahead and book early. I’ve already had inquiries for Oct. 2011. Things are definitely looking up since last… read more
August 12, 2010, Vol. 8 Issue 7 Dear Friends, I really couldn’t tell you the last time I sat down and actually read a cookbook, but Rebecca Katz’s writing is so engaging, I was captivated. Both of her cookbooks, written for cancer patients and survivors, and their friends and caregivers, are as friendly as they… read more
June 30, 2010, Vol. 8 Issue 6 Dear Friends, Earlier this month, I enjoyed a long weekend yoga retreat led by Britt Bensen Steele with a spring-cleaning theme. We ate vegetarian organic meals, assumed yoga poses for opening our bodies and minds, and learned about Ayurvedic principles and practices. There was also lots of free… read more
May 27, 2010, Vol. 8 Issue 5 Dear Friends, I wasn’t a LOST fan, so I wasn’t lost about their finale this weekend. I was, however, glued to the edge of the couch during the Grey’s Anatomy finale last week with all of the gunning down of my favorite characters right within the halls and… read more
March 18, 2010, Vol. 8 Issue 2 I’ve always loved the idea of making something new from something old — whether it was originally destined for another use or is a castaway. When I was an avid seamstress, I could never throw away the scraps, and I love cutting up magazines and making Vision Boards… read more
Nov. 12, 2009, Vol. VII Issue 12 Okay, I admit it. No sooner was Jen Louden’s Freedom from Self-Improvement week over, than I was standing in the Self-Improvement section of Borders. I was, however, on a professional mission. By the way, when did the Self-Help category become Self-Improvement and is there a distinction? Does anybody… read more
Dec. 18, 2008, Vol. 6 Issue 22 Dear Friends, We have snow on the ground, and freezing temperatures – amazing for Portland, Oregon, where a green and drippy wet Christmas is more the norm. When I learned my brother and nephews are coming from Missouri for the holidays and heard that the arctic blast was… read more
Feb. 21, 2008, Vol. 6 Issue 4 Dear Friends, I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Bless her heart.” While the nuance may vary from conciliatory to sympathetic, it is undoubtedly said with a Southern cadence. It’s one of the things that Southern women know how to do well. I was recently introduced to Ronda Rich,… read more
Sept. 6, 2007, Vol. V Issue 18 Dear Friends, In one magazine last month I read that counting calories was the one and only way to lose weight, and — imagine this — another magazine offered an article headlined, “Quit counting calories!” And I’m sure you’ve noticed that these headlines are always displayed prominently on… read more
