Why is it intimidating to be beautiful? No this isn’t coming from me, but from so many comments I seem to get, and I just don’t get it. It is ironic that I spent my twenties and half of my thirties as a size 14/16 and very unhappy. I made big changes in me, my…

Have you noticed that our interior environments are often mirrors of where we are at a given moment? A friend who recently saw my home and all its furnishings, artwork, photos of parties and friends, travel mementos and more was suddenly embarrassed for me to see his place, much more minimalist. Yet, knowing he had…

I have to say I was a bit miffed recently (well a lot more than that, but not important here), when someone suggested that because I am not married, no family, no kids, I have a lot of free time. I found this startling. I didn’t know I had free time? Wow, where? I am…

Well, I goofed on this one, I realized almost immediately as I sat in the conference room with 50 others that I need to do and be less! Yes, I have listened to all those friends and strangers that regularly tell me I am too much, I am exhausting, I am overhwhelming, so I decided…

Ever have one of those just sort of profoundly sad days?? I had one yesterday. I couldn’t really pinpoint what wasn’t working, but just felt really blue. I am trying to work my way out of it today. And know it would surprise most who see me as an incredibly up and energetic sort, and…

I am very excited, I have been invited to accept an award posthumously for my incredibly Godmother Edith Head. It is being put on by the Walk of Style in Beverly Hills, California. And not only will Aunt Edith be getting her own star in the walk, but an award at a reception hosted by…

You know, I find it immensely frustrating that the more successful I am the more intimidating that seems to be. I don’t get it! Last summer I was supposed to meet a girl friend in Florida for a getaway. I really needed the time out and was looking forward to hanging out. I had confirmed…

This was a great time overall, only a few hysterical glitches. My first night I headed out to dinner to a great spot, Seasons 52. A total stranger at the bar recommended a full bodied delicious cabernet exclusive, and a short while later I found a seat and wound up making fast friends with a…
