    Well, actually I’m not. I’d like to, but I don’t have a horse. Also, I don’t really know how to ride. I’ve only done it a handful of times, and I’m *still* amazed that I didn’t bounce right out of the seat when I hit a canter. I want to address this article about eating disorders…

    Don’t you just love it when someone ‘gets you.’  I know I do. It can be a feeling we experience from a whole heart connection to another person – or even – a pet.  Sometimes too it can happen in special moments when someone totally “gets” what you are on about.  Such are the things…

    Relaxing over the holiday season, I spent some time surfing the compressive database on style.com of past collections – and came across an exciting discovery. The Etro Men’s Fall 2009 show during Milan Fashion Week included several mature, gray and white haired, and wrinkle proud models. The one woman can be viewed as revolutionary. A…

    Even as a kid I knew there was something seriously flawed with the mantra, “sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me.” While it’s a nice ideal, it’s rarely the truth. And adults rarely know the tools to teach kids how to reach that point where words can never hurt…

    When the cold weather rolls in, we all have a way of gravitating toward the things that make us feel comfortable. Cozy blankets, hot chocolate, carbs. It’s our way of hibernating for the winter. Ever since I got back from my honeymoon, I’ve been spending my almost all of my lunch breaks at a family-owned…
