When you live in Small Town, USA like I do, a trip to New York City is the ultimate one stop destination for style inspiration, great food, cultural enrichment, and of course, shopping. My hubby and I motored to New York City for a belated birthday celebration with our daughter, Channing, a fashion journalist. Upon […]
Heart to Heart
The American Heart Association (not surprisingly) has chosen February as Heart Heath month. Perhaps, its easier to have a heart to heart chat about health with Valentines Day and all of its trappings.
Announcing My First Giveaway Winner
Today, February 11, I am announcing my first giveaway winner. The contest was first mentioned in my What’s Going On? post. Congratulations, Netta Young-Johnson!
Mole Hill
Lately, when I look in the mirror, I feel like I’m looking at a mole hill. The amount of moles on my face and body have exponentially exploded since I’ve gotten older. When I was in my teens, a dark regular mole on your cheek was considered to be very attractive. Who didn’t want a […]
Lady in Red: Nina Forrest
February is American Heart Month to bring awareness to the disease that causes one in three deaths each year. In honor of this, I am going to introduce a new series on the blog, Lady in Red, focusing on women’s heart heath. Meet Nina Forrest, an artisan jeweler living in Albuquerque, New Mexico with her […]
What’s Going On?
What’s going on? My blog post title is a 1971 Marvin Gaye hit about the goings on revolving around the Vietnam War veterans as they returned home from war.

This online space continues to be a labor of love, a creative outlet to express myself, and hopefully, impact other […]
What About Exercise?
Many people resolved to improve their health at the start of the new year and exercise is the number one way to achieve measurable results. I made the decision to exercise consistently when I was diagnosed with borderline high blood pressure. I challenged myself to do and be better. In 2012, I walked my […]
Looking Back
I no longer do New Year’s resolutions. I’ve found greater success creating vision boards that align with my goals for the upcoming year. Also, I’ve found that my blog makes it especially easy for me to recap my escapades and accomplishments while focusing on what’s to come. For the last two weeks, I’ve been in […]
Off-Duty
I truly relish my off (from work as a pharmaceutical sales specialist) between Christmas and the new year. Its a great time for me to recharge and refresh before the new year, readying my goals for 2016. My holiday officially starts once my home is decorated festively and Ive purchased all of my Christmas gifts. […]
