This past Friday night five friends and I spent some time eating pizza and talking about our goals for the coming year.
There was a surprise announcement which created a moment of stunned silence before transforming into bursts of laughter and girlish chattering.
But most of the goals were fairly commonplace involving health, fitness and career […]
Our closest friends challenge us to change, to grow, and to become the best we can be. ~Unknown
That’s yesterday’s quote on my Friendship perpetual calendar. Yes, a friend gave it to me for Christmas, and yes I was a day behind in flipping the page. Oops.
I shared the quote with my GLOW-Girl friends because […]
On Saturday I drove my two teenage children to the mall. I’m not a fan of malls during the quietest times of the year, so imagine my anxiety as I pulled into the overly crowded parking lot 8 days before Christmas.

Our house […]
I should be in bed by now after working last night, but I just had to watch the recorded episodes of Survivor and The Apprentice… Okay… I didn’t have to watch them, but I wanted–chose–to watch them this morning.
If you watched Donald Trump’s The Apprentice last night you know that he fired two applicants at […]
Accepting the Best Actress Award for “Places in the Heart,” after having won in 1980 for “Norma Rae” Sally Field said: “I haven’t had an orthodox career, and I’ve wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn’t feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can’t deny the […]
Okay, the woman didn’t ask me directly, but I heard through a friend of a friend that a woman I know was moaning about how no one likes her. Apparently she made the statement “I don’t think anyone likes me.”

On the Today Show this morning I saw an interview with Judge Michael Cicconetti of Painesville, Ohio. He believes and doles out alternative sentences for people who are first offenders of non-violent crimes.
