Listen up! I have the hard core facts about smoking. If you smoke you need to really consider quitting. I am never one to encourage anyone to be a quitter, however this month (as mentioned in last week’s post about November being Lung Health Awareness) may cause you to reconsider as Thursday, November 20 is the Great […]

The world of social media has many disadvantages regarding privacy but there is one advantage. It is a way to bring together women from different backgrounds and ages for the opportunity to network, socialize, and forge friendships. Four different women did this very thing at another meetup, this Polyvore Meetup in King of Prussia. In May I […]
The recent death of comedienne Joan Rivers brings to mind not just her death but her catchphrase, “Can we talk?” Most people including myself do not routinely talk about suicide.
