Twenty five years after the mysterious disappearance of her mother, father and brother, Cynthia agrees to a television programme in the hope that she will finally find out what has happened to them. This action starts a fast moving chain of events and an intriguing plot. The story is told by Cynthia’s husband Terry.
Did Cynthia […]
I don’t love being pregnant. My girlfriend swore I would. At 13 weeks, I’ve survived the constant naseau, the psycho need to eat every two hours, and the hormonal sedation that would cause me to pass out at my desk, but the acid reflux has actually gotten worse.
I’m about ready to fall into a depression […]
Esther Rantzen has been a broadcaster for more than forty years but it is her work for charity that I find inspiring.
She was first known in Britain for reporting on Braden’s Week and then for producing and hosting a programme called, That’s Life. This drew a viewing public of 18 million and whilst it had […]
There is nothing more stressful than being in a strange city and feeling lost. Wasn’t the hotel that way?
Sure, you can grab a cab and tell the driver you need to go to “the Hilton”, but what if there is more than one Hilton in the area? My solution: my handy dandy cell phone.
As part […]
BookTalk has been hijacked to remind you that we still have a couple of giveaways open:

…without thinking about it too hard.
I’ve spent less time online in recent weeks than I ever can recall since I started using the Internet in 1997. Somehow, getting laid off from my job 6 weeks ago has afforded me this incredibly introspective time in which I’ve allowed myself to meander, sleep in, dream, investigate, contemplate, […]
As we come into the final weeks before a national election, I wanted to write about an inspiring woman who is not currently seen as controversial; however she was certainly thought as much in her own time. She was the first, and as yet, only woman to be named Chief Justice of the California […]
This week’s Sound Advice comes with no pun intended, and comes from a conversation Deb, my husband, her younger daughter and I had at dinner last night. Specifically, it has to do with the use of voice notes.
Most of us have things we need to remember, items to add to our to-do lists or […]
Instead of YOUR TURN this week, we’re featuring our first interview for our new Women in Business blog feature. We’ll be taking the second Wednesday of each month to highlight a woman in business. This week, we’re speaking with Fabienne Christenson, of Possets Perfume. You probably saw her article Six Ways to Appreciate Scent, in […]
I don’t think there’s a person anywhere who hasn’t misplaced her keys at some point. Here are some suggestions for always knowing where your keys are, and preventing unplanned lockouts:
Pick on location near the door, and leave your keys there every time you come home. If you generally enter your home through the garage […]
We are officially in the season of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. I’ve been on the East Coast most of past few weeks, and though the temperature doesn’t show it daily, there is a definite change in the air that you can just feel. Autumn is a time when the earth begins its journey of […]
In Tanita Davis’s debut novel, A La Carte we meet a feisty, funny young chef. Lainey is seventeen, and dreams of having her own vegetarian cooking show. To that end, she practices constantly, whipping up new dishes in the kitchen of the restaurant her mother runs, feeding snacks to all her friends, and collecting her […]
Yes, I’m writing this review at the bequest of my cats. Years ago we upgraded from Fancy Feast to other more nutritional wet foods, or at least more expensive ones. We went through the Wellness line, Tiki Cat and just about every other brand out there, but with three finicky felines, there was always one […]
I would like to praise the idea of a National Poetry Day. Poetry is about taking time to observe life and play with words to create an image or convey something meaningful. Not only that but the rhythm, rhyme and content can just bring pleasure.
National Poetry Day encourages people to read and write poems. It […]
