Why Quitting Isn’t An Option

I have been titled, a Teacher turned Writer. In actuality, I would call myself a writer, who became a teacher, then turned into a dream-come-true writer. I have been writing since I was fourteen. I wrote in a diary which turned into a journal as I got older. To date I have written over 75 journals which now are considered the history books of my family and life. Writing just happens to me. I have always dreamed of being an Author. When I was a little girl, I imagined myself sitting in front of children reading “my book.” When I had children of my own, I would pretend that the books I was reading were those I had written. I know this might sound silly, but it was my dream of all dreams.

In The Kitchen: Healthy Cooking and Baking

I recently had the great honor of being the Celebrity Guest Chef in the kitchen on the fun-filled cooking TV show What’s Cooking. One thing my readers know about me– I love to eat, I can’t cook. I think that’s pretty clear, just by the way I handled that zucchini. 😉

Wisdom Wednesday: Face Your Dirty Dishes

There’s nothing like sitting down to a home-cooked meal with all your favorite foods laid out before you. Unfortunately, there’s nothing more tedious than standing over the sink afterward, scrubbing the pots and pans. And what happens when your favorite TV show comes on after you’ve just eaten your delicious dinner? You probably say, “I’ll clean up during the first commercial.” But you quickly grow roots into the couch and, before you know it, morning has broken and you’re rushing to get to work. Now you’ve got a sink full of caked-on pots growing mold.

The Perks of Dating (And Flirting) At Forty

By Guest Blogger Amy Larson It feels like just yesterday I was wearing big hair, jelly shoes and bracelets, rolled sleeves on my jacket, and running around with boys that turned up…

Amanda Knox Verdict VLOG: Did The Italian Justice System Get It Right?

Along with the rest of the world, I have been fascinated with the Amanda Knox case since day one. It had all the makings of a sensationalized media story– a beautiful American “girl next door,” studying overseas in Perugia, Italy is accused of brutally murdering her roommate in an alleged “sex-game” gone wrong involving a boyfriend.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month And Prevention

Welcome back! I took a break last Wednesday to honor and respect my Jewish New Year, but I am back! And it’s freezing in Montreal. And it’s October- which always means… Halloween and Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Are Microwaves Safe?

If you’ve been a reader, this title may seem a little off. It’s not about sex, health, kids, marriage, friendship, career, or anything like that. But, I did promise to cover all the issues that we women sit on the fence about. And wow, am I on the fence here! If you’re a busy WOMAN- single, married, divorced, kids, no kids, most of you own a microwave. In fact, over 90% of American homes have microwave ovens. Not just to reheat a bottle, but what about to reheat a quick leftover dinner? To heat up soup for your daughter’s thermos for school lunches? To cook a lean cuisine, for crying out loud? (I’ve never had a lean cuisine in my life, but you get the point).
