In last week’s post, Another Meetup, I shared one advantage of social media: the opportunity to create a venue for like-minded people to meet and forge new friendships. Instagram has afforded me yet another option to meet, get to know, and feature a Woman of Grace: Lesley Wolman. The Explore page of Instagram allows […]
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.

The first-ever feature film, Get On Up pays tribute to the singer. Get On Up recently premiered at the historic Apollo Theater in New York City. It’s hard to believe Brown’s career […]
As I entered into menopause, I heard about the classic symptoms from hormonal imbalances – hot flashes/night sweats, mood swings, insomnia and hair loss. Who knew that declining estrogen levels could cause acne? My experience has been the classic symptoms as well as skin changes, mainly facial skin with acne. I hope you had a […]
Little did I know that my weekend trip to New York City to hang out with my daughter would help me achieve a step in the right direction on Saturday. 14,022 steps that is! Thanks to my wearable fitness device that tracks my steps and overall activity, I was able to easily achieve my daily […]
Your skin can say a lot about your health, especially about your face. It’s viewed as a mirror to our health. Can you tell I have a mild fascination with non-traditional alternative medicine?
