It was the spring of 1997 and I was treating one of my dearest friends and colleague, after hours in my clinic after a long day of seeing very complicated orthopedic medicine and chronic pain patients. Ron was a 57 year old psychologist who was scheduled the following morning to have a thoracotomy performed […]
“Do you have a sense that the world is about to change forever?” the back of this book asks. “Do you believe that you’re here on Earth to assist that global shift? Have you ever noticed magical abilities to see, feel, hear, move and transduce energy?”
If you’ve answered yes to these and other questions […]
Give us your “elevator speech” – a snapshot of who you are, what you do for a living, and how we should “know” you.
I’m the author of the just-released novel, The Summer Kitchen (St Martin’s Press), about a woman who has it all–good looks, great kids, private school, Manhattan pied-a-terre, and a husband so […]
I have to admit: I’m a sucker for Broadway musicals. Maybe it’s because I like songs with strong stories and equally strong melodies, or maybe it’s because I’m a bit of a drama queen. Possibly both. In any case, my husband an I have a long-standing tradition of seeing a play or musical once a […]

I don’t like to cook. I can cook, I just don’t like it. But this charming and funny movie made me want to cook. The ebullient Julie & Julia tells two stories; the story of Julia Child’s time in France and how she came to be a […]

Jennifer Weiner can always be counted on for a good, hearty read. Something you can curl up with on a rainy Saturday or breeze through on a lounge chair poolside. Her latest novel, Best Friends Forever released July 14, 2009, doesn’t disappoint.
Our heroine is Addie Downs, an overweight, socially awkward young […]
Remember Helen Hunt from Mad About You? Well, in 2007 she made her directorial debut in a movie she also produces and stars in. Then She Found Me is a movie that seemed to fly under the radar, which is surprising as it’s actually a really nice film.
The movie tells the story of April Epner, […]
As we move from the March winds and into April showers, we cannot help but think of nature as the earth is reborn. There are cultivated flower boxes and well kept lawns emerging around us, but in other places, we find the wilds, where Mother Nature flourishes. With those thoughts, we are thrilled to bring […]
I managed to get through my heavy bridesmaid duty years unscathed. My brides were very laid back, chose gowns that flattered my figure, and one of them even asked me not to plan a bridal shower because she found them annoying. I was lucky.
For those who aren’t or weren’t quite as fortunate as me, Liz […]
What better to talk about on Allthingsgirl.com than the relationships among women? Like so many women my age, I read love stories and thrillers and historical fiction and even fantasy (love the big good/evil epic–have since I was a teenager), but what I love most is a story about women. Our lives, our […]
