July - August 2008 | Spice of Life
Today is the release of the long awaited Sex and the City: The Movie. Fan or foe of the fabulous four (Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda) surely you’re curious if Carrie and Big will actually tie the knot.
To celebrate….make the quintessential Sex and the City Cocktail: The Cosmopolitan (which, even though […]
So everything I wrote in my previous diet post…forget it. Because it’s meaningless if I don’t really believe it. I’m trying, I really am. And I soooo want to lose 20 lbs. But for some reason, something just isn’t clicking in my brain. I haven’t lost any weight since my […]
There is the idealized image of sexy. No, not when it comes to women - I’m thinking instead about men. We see a man like Brad Pitt as sexy - he has a fabulous body with chiseled abs and strong arms - not to mention a handsome face and that rugged tough-guy attitude. […]
ShadeWorks, a new horror and dark fantasy zine, has launched its first issue, featuring three new short stories. If you are a horror writer, this is the zine for you. As a fan of horror I’ve really enjoyed reading these stories and I’m already looking forward to the next issue.
Submissions are always open for […]
Can you believe we are approaching the half-way point of 2008? I am shocked at times when I write the date and the realization hits me! So far, you have seen our themes range from “Love & Lust” to “Earth & Sky” and now “Sacrifice”. Coming in July, we still have “Spice of Life”, Fall […]
A huge congratulations to long time friend, rockstar and author Felicia Sullivan, for her book, The Sky Isn’t Visible from Here, being optioned for film! So very exciting! We interviewed Felicia recently and spoke about her book, being published and all that entails, and of course, food. If you are so inclined, you can read […]
Many of you may not know that Jimmy Buffett of Margaritaville fame is a best selling author that has penned no only his biography (A Pirate Looks at 50), but also several fictional tales. As a writer, I have seen some of the best advice to other writers within his biography. […]
Sacrifice. The word is laden with inntonations of things taken to an extreme measure. Yes, it’s about giving up something for something else, but it’s more than that, isn’t it? At a retreat a few years back I participated in a values setting exercise where we were asked to parcel a list […]
I have been reading the postings about the book, “The Boss in You”. It sounds like a really good read and a good way to clarify your thinking if becoming a boss is on your agenda. Lorissa’s posting, “Define your own success” comments on an extract from the book about defining what counts as success […]
As the weekend is almost here (yayness!) it’s time to think about how to make the most of it. So, with that in mind, here are some indulgences to consider (a combination is always good as well). If we can’t take some time over the weekend to veg, enjoy ourselves and occasionally over-indulge, when can […]
It’s been a rather busy few weeks so I’m only about 2 chapters in The Boss of You and so far I’m loving it! Although I’ve been my own boss for the last few years, I’m learning new things every day and this book is really helping me clarify a few things. One of the […]
So, it’s been about 3 weeks into this “diet” and I’m down…drumroll… 8 lbs! It’s a modest amount, I think, but I figure if I lose weight at a decent pace, then I’m more likely to keep it off.
The first week was the easiest. And that’s when I lost the most weight. […]
Hello! This is Lauren, one of the authors of The Boss of You: Everything a Woman Needs to Know to Start, Run, and Maintain Her Own Business. This post is the third installment of a four-part blog book tour we’ve undertaken to support the book’s release. (To read the two previous blog tour posts, visit […]
Despite being overweight, I often forget to eat because I get caught up in a problem, realize I’m hungry, form the intent to feed myself, and then get distracted by something shiny, and forget. This, combined with the fact that writing is a sedentary career choice (not that doing mortgage loans was much better), does […]
Back in February I talked about resources for women entrepreneurs and mentioned the then upcoming book, The Boss of You by Lauren Bacon and Emira Mears. I was not shy in my praise, although I had not read the book yet, since I’ve followed these two extremely talented ladies for some time and I know […]
Earth has been invaded and humans have become hosts to “The Souls”, who take over the minds of the human while leaving their body intact. Out there, however, are those rebel humans: they are the survivors….
Melanie was one such survivor. She and her brother Jamie had been hiding, resisting being taken by […]
This beautiful, warm-hearted young woman has taken the first steps on the road to super-stardom.
