July - August 2008 | Spice of Life
I’ve been on a kick lately to read the classics from the 1940’s – 1970’s, our contemporary masterpieces, the ones my mom may have been reading while I was a baby napping. After reading two modern novels that left me deeply unsatisfied – one amused by it’s own level of shock appeal, the other […]
I wonder how many women know that November 25th was the ‘International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women,’ a day that was recognised by the General assembly of the United Nations in 1999, with a view to raising public awareness of the violation of the rights against women. I had […]
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a fantastic humanitarian organisation. They are working with Ann Jones, a writer and photographer, to highlight the survival stories of women in West Africa as part of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence. For the next 16 days, starting tomorrow on Sunday Nov 25th, Ann will blog […]
If you read about my creation of a Vision Board, you will see that I am working on what to “do” with my life…and part of working on a more fulfilled life is setting the Intent of what you want your life to become. As a part of the intent, I began keeping […]
Do you have a terrific story to share about a “first” experience that happened to you during puberty? Perhaps you have an embarrassing memory about your first period, or a wonderful story about your first kiss. I’m collecting stories of first periods, kisses, school dances, buying bras, and any other firsts that occur […]
In the United States, Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday of November - that’s November 22nd this year. For those of you in the United States, you are probably doing what I am doing: thinking about what I need to get at the grocery store. I mean, Thanksgiving, at least in the South, is […]
Me. That’s who. Or at least I was before yesterday at exactly 3:05PM. That’s when I experienced one for the first time. That is the moment I realized I’d been a complete moron for not having gotten one sooner.
I’ve heard so many rumors about how painful Mammograms were. “They put you in this machine and […]
I’ve already confessed to being a bit of a prose-a-holic, and can’t wait to tell you about the book sitting beside me…still warm from my hot little hands…..
James Patterson is the mastermind behind several best selling series (Women’s Murder Club, Maximum Ride) but I’ve long felt that his books about Alex Cross are […]
No, this is not an ode to Mork & Mindy - though I do love the insanely talented Robin Williams. Rather, a glimpse into the writers - published, yet-to-be-published, and closet writers - that willingly sign on for 30 days of insanity, also known as National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo.
I first heard of this […]
I was fortunate enough to visit with a friend who has property on “The Eastern Shore”, which is an area of Maryland along the Chesapeake Bay. Hooper’s Island area was our destination, and though it was a rainy day, the crab-fishers were out in force. I have to confess that Crab is one […]
So, I’m no Emily Post and have no idea which fork is meant to be used with which course. I do however have a severe obsession with being polite. Rudeness is something that really grates on my nerves. Combine this with my lust for all things paper, and perhaps you’ll understand why I love thank […]
Think of me as Clark Kent – recruiter by day/fiction writer by night. Although even that analogy doesn’t fly as I do all my best writing between 5 and 8 a.m. But since I have this other personality, I thought I’d bring it out here on the blog to offer a little sage […]
When I think of the word “Fresh”, it conjures up thoughts of freshly cut grass and waterfalls over mossy rocks…and if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you are feeling the fresh crisp breezes of Fall here and there. The theme of “Fresh” certainly fits the time of year, no matter where you live, […]
