Ronald McDonald House
We are heading to do a dinner at the Ronald McDonald House in Southern New Jersey to cook dinner with some volunteers and to gift my books to the families who are there tonight with treatments and surgeries. Some families are there to stay long term while a family member is treated for something, and […]
Put Your Mind to It
You can do anything you put your mind to. We all can do anything we put our minds to. It goes with the saying “Just do it.” I was a bit nervous about changing my event this year, but I had a vision. Something I did from the past was brought back to life and […]
Try Something New
I often blog about things I do and sometimes “stepping out of the box.” I am what I would refer to as conservatively daring, while my son, for instance, lives life to the fullest. He has pretty much tried it all: surfing, snowboarding, all kinds of sports in school etc. I prefer to be more […]
My Recent Evening of Inspiration
After 6 years, we changed the event enough to make it noticeable. All I can say is, it worked. The venue was the same, the food was the same, and awesome, open bar, and, of course, I was still the keynote speaker. Books were available for purchase throughout the evening. We eliminated dancing but still […]
Losing a Friend
I recently wrote a blog about visiting a very ill friend and how I felt after the visit. One minute we are all here and in the blink of an eye, it is our time to go. Carmen, a long time friend, has left the earth and recently given in to his illnesses. His partner […]
Giving Back
Isn’t that what life is all about? Maybe not for everyone, but for me, it is about living life to the fullest and giving back as much as I can. It may be because of all I have been through in life, but allowing myself to have fun and smile each and every day is […]
Radio Show
I was recently interviewed on a live radio show out of Vineland, NJ, 92.1 FM, with a great guy, DJ Steve. I have been interviewed numerous times and this experience was my favorite by far. Steve and I only chatted over the phone a few times and never met until 5 minutes before the interview. It […]
Express Yourself
Everyone has a different way to express themselves and different is good. We all need something to release stress, look forward too, dream about and just to make us smile. Music may be one of the most popular ways to express oneself, being that with all the choices in the world of sounds and tunes, […]
Recent Weather Issues
No matter where we live in the world, the weather plays an important roll in how we function on a daily basis. If the sun is shining and the temperatures are comfortable, we are all happy. When we get rain, we usually do not mind, but if the rain persists for days on end and […]
Going Through the Motions
I recently have done a bit of traveling, nothing exotic, just Florida and back a few times for both business and pleasure. My husband and I go out often for dinner, enjoying both the social aspects as well as dining on good food. We have been in the bar and restaurant business forever and are […]
