I’ve had a perfect Sunday morning so far. Woke up, poured a hot cup of coffee and got to catch Joel Osteen on TV. Joel’s message always inspires and encourages me. Today’s message was regarding leaving “deposits” in the world. When he says “deposits” he means leaving encouraging words and actions. Compliment someone today. Help…

Love The One You’re With (and Other Bad Relationship Advice from Popular Songs)
Love & relationships are the #1 topic of songs. Quick, think of a song not about it. But, anyways some of these “love” songs are really just terrible dating advice. Here are my top 5 examples of terrible love songs. (Note, I don’t mean terrible as in performance & production, just in lyrical advice.) Love…
Put Down The Scalpel.
Huffington Post Celebrity recently showed a picture of what the always beautiful Heather Locklear looks like now (see above). On the left is a picture of her 20 years ago as the sexy and conniving Amanda Woodward on Melrose Place. To the right is a current picture of her. Still pretty, but clearly much fuller…
Everybody Wants To Be…
Wanted and Needed. Period. It is a scientific fact that everyone wants to be wanted and needed. It’s what leads relationships work, relationships to fail, or you can succeed or fail at work…its all about appreciation. Doesnt matter if you’re 2, 22, or 82. Everyone wants to be wanted, needed, appreciated. So, my reminder to…
What I Learned From Nora Ephron Movies
Last week Screenwriter/Director/Essayist/Shero Nora Ephron lost her battle with cancer at the age of 71. I have been a long time fan of Nora. If you’re a chick flick freak like myself, you could spot an Ephron film within the first few minutes. Beautiful soundtrack (Harry Connick Jr., Harry Nilsson, Costello…), the New York City…
Night In With The TV
It was a slow Friday night working the bar last night so I actually got to leave early. So what did I do? I went to my parents house to spend quality time with them (and do much-needed laundry!). My parents are still fairly big tv watchers, and since I don’t have cable at home,…
Time To Play!!
I love summer! It’s the time of the year I feel myself come totally alive. I feel happier and prettier with my naturally bronzed skin, flip-flops, sipping wine on the patio with friends…but one of my absolute favorite things about summer are all the different things to do outside! I’ve made a list of a few outdoor…
I’m Taking My Own Path, Thank You.
We all have those moments where we play the “What if” regret game. Whether it’s regretting what we did or didn’t do, at some point we wonder. I played that game recently. “What if I took college seriously and didn’t drop out years ago?” “What if I pursued this career?” “What if I dated this…
My TV Sheros!
I have a lot of wonderful sheros that have impacted me throughout my life: my Grammy Peg, my mom, Gloria Steinem, Connie Schultz, Hillary Clinton, Sheryl Crow…I could go on & on…But today I want to give props to my television mentors. The real women & the fictional characters that have shaped & influenced me…
I Forgot How To Breathe.
I know, you think that’s absurd. “Um, wouldn’t you be dead then?” is what you’re probably thinking. But seriously, how often do you really breathe? I mean, inhale slowly and deeply through the nose, followed by exhaling completely through the mouth. I forgot how to do it! Life has been so crazy, stressful, challenging, etc…that I…
