My Sons Band
My son, although not living in New Jersey full time, still gets together with his band when they are all home. They practice and play just like they used to back when. The band, Why Not, has a different sound and many, many followers, mostly friends and friends of friends, who gather any place the […]
A Salute to the Past
November 2014 Dear Old Friends of Timmy’s Regatta: After 5 years of running my own foundation and helping children who are patients at CHOP by donating funds to make their stays more comfortable, the Evening of Inspiration would like to invite everyone who was involved in Timmy’s Regatta Auction to “COME OUT TO […]
New Year’s Resolutions
Every year, since as far back as I can remember, we have all made a New Year’s resolution. We would all pick out some vice we had, and in order to better ourselves, we would vow to improve on this particular vice. We would make it our New Year’s resolution. I always struggled with this particular thing […]
Ringing in the New Year
How do you ring in the New Year? Everyone all over the world celebrates this glorious holiday in similar, yet different ways. We all like to hope that the following year will bring much luck and health, along with happiness and hopefully, peace on earth. For me, I like the low key but party like […]
School Visits
I recently visited Vineland High School to speak with 3 different classes about my books. I brought copies of all three books- even The Crusaders. Although I did not write it, it is a big part of who I am and what is happening in my life. I never really prepare for the school visits. […]
Looking Forward to Holidays
Every year with bated breath, I, along with millions of others,wait for the holidays to come and embrace us all. We shop, wrap, bake, decorate, go to church and/or synagogue and prepare for a few wonderful nights with the family and close friends. I adore all of it and love having everyone over for family […]
Dance Like Nobody is Watching!
Funny, I often hear this saying and think nothing of it, but I understand the significance. I’m sharing this story with you because this saying haunted me all day long a few days ago. Visiting a friend who is bedridden and in terrible shape is something none of us want to do, but, we do […]
A Medium!
Just went to see my first medium recently with my sister. The Long Island Medium was in Atlantic City and we decided to do a girl day together. First of all, just spending the alone time with my sister is a wonderful treat since she is always so busy. We have both watched the show with […]
Dreaming
We are dreamers. I dream of vacations in exotic places, winning the lottery, world peace, and being healthy. My guess is that I hit some, if not all, of your dreams as well. I dream of not having to even think about it being childhood cancer awareness month and breast cancer month, just that life […]
My Dear Friend Jean
Without knowing all of the details, my close friend Jean suffered pancreatitis over this past holiday weekend and sent me a text from the hospital. I have not even asked her if she made it through Thanksgiving dinner as of yet because I was so upset she was ill. She has not had her gallbladder removed […]
