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
April 27, 2010, Vol. 8 Issue 4 Dear Friends, Our new beagle, Bella, makes me laugh. Talk about being in the moment. She sits in the back yard, all by herself and wags her tail. This is relatively new behavior. At first she would hunker down behind the sliding glass doors — her bunker —… read more
March 30, 2010, Vol. 8 Issue 3 I’m sure I’m not the only woman who was discouraged to see the story last week about women, weight and exercise. A sample headline: “Older Women Need 1-hour Workouts to Fend Off Flab.” The story said that at least an hour a day of moderate activity is needed… read more

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
Vol. 7, Issue 13, Nov. 12, 2009 Dear Friends, As the fall meeting season winds down, I have to say that the feedback from meeting planners has been inspiring. I heard about more than one sold-out event that will be moving to a larger venue. It seems women are starved for a night out, a… 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
Sept. 4, 2009, Vol. 7 Issue 10 Oprah has opened the door to talk about just about anything on network television, especially when it comes to body parts and functions. Still, when it comes to you, and your body, that’s another matter, isn’t it? And especially if those questions are intensely personal, female, and, about… read more
July 29, 2009, Vol. 7 Issue 9 Dear Friends, I hope you read our last issue – special edition – where we announced our “Party Like It’s 1999” Celebration.
