Being Patient
One thing I have learned from being ill as a child is patience. For some reason, it may go hand in hand with being sick or just months of being exposed to hospital beds, surgeries, tests, and such, along with the ongoing forever “waiting”. Yes, I said waiting. Waiting for results, waiting for appointments, waiting […]
I Need Your Help
Most of you know I was recently hospitalized with a bowel obstruction and I need your help! I am almost 100% and am just about able to do everything I did before I became ill, but something is missing. I still tire halfway through the day and am lucky enough that most of the time […]
Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey
It is that time of year that we love with my foundation!
Shamong Rotary
I spoke at a Rotary dinner last evening and although the group was small, they were very interested in what I had to share with them. When I speak to small groups at dinners I like to share who I am and all that I do. It is a bit different than my regular speaking engagements, […]
An Inspiration to Others
I met another volunteer at the CHOP Volunteer conference a few weeks ago and was yet again moved by his story. This gentlemen was asked to speak on behalf of the volunteers and share his story. He had sold his business and decided that he needed to do something worthy with his extra time, and […]

I spoke a few days ago about my friend who just had surgery to remove one of her breasts. It had been a week since surgery and I felt I needed to hear her voice. Knowing she had been blindsided with a quick mammogram and then removal all within a month, I know she needed […]

When things are too difficult for you to think anymore, when your lack of time is overwhelming you, and when you feel you are ready to break, it’s time to take some down time! You could take a trip for a day or even for a few hours. Better yet, you can take a moment […]
Spreading the Magic
I love the idea that I will be involved in helping and gifting my books to 150 families with a serious ill child at an upcoming event benefitting Spread the Magic, Chad Juro’s Foundation. The mission of Spread the Magic is to spread hope and inspiration to children battling cancer through the power of magic. […]
How Busy is TOO Busy?
How busy is too busy? When do we admit to ourselves that we are doing too much and we have far too much on our plates. When we have a sick child we have no choice as to how much we can handle. We reach out or try to reach out for help, but being […]
Delivering Hope
I have almost completed the delivering of all the books that were donated to charitable organizations from my event in the beginning of March. It is a job to get all the books mailed or hand deliver them to everyone but is well worth the effort! When they arrive, each organization will then plan either […]
