It’s Springtime and everyone is thinking about getting themselves “ Bikini Ready”  or as one of my guy friends said, he was looking at shedding his winter layer and getting his abs ripped for the “ season “, lol.Lots of my friends are asking me what my secret to looking absolutely fabulous All. The. Time. I am hearing people talk about exaggerated detoxes, some extreme diets and weird food additions. Honestly, it sounds like something that isn’t very sustainable. We all want the magic bullet, the easy short cut to looking and feeling fabulous. I realized that my Modis Operandi is...

Dearest Loved Ones, I always find the time around Passover and Easter an especially wonderful time ~ While there are many Spring family traditions from “ cleaning the chometz “ to finishing Lent, Seders, Schul, Church, and Easter Bunnies, I have come to call it my Life Spring Cleaning Time, lol.

They said hey, where’s the water?? Truth is, I totally walk the world in the middle-of-the-road and since I had...

It was just a few years ago I was at the UN in NYC attending the World Water Day conference with my good friend Monica Westin of World of Hope International, a wonderful UN sanctioned charity in Ghana. The speakers were brilliantly interesting and I met so many superb people. Monica has been diligent in her work to bring awareness and support to the community center that she has built with a focus on education. http://www.worldofhopeinternational.org/ At the break, I went to the ladies room, did my business and washed my hands. I walked out and met her in the...
