This week, my friend Joules invited me to meet with three special individuals who are baring it all to help raise awareness and understanding of breast cancer in young women. The Pulitzer-prize-nominated photography exhibit, The Scar Project, is coming to Cincinnati Sept. 29 – Oct. 2, 2011, at the Art Design Consultants Gallery, downtown Cincinnati. [...]
I used to feel “lucky” that if I had to get cancer, at least it was one that received so many dollars for research and support. After all, it has almost become the “cool cancer,” what with all the pink merchandise and hoopla. And then there’s that pink sisterhood of support. I’ve been questioning the [...]
Hi everyone! I’m on vacation in Canada this week, enjoying beautiful weather, productive fishing, relaxing times with family and a break from technology…until now. For all would-be burglars, we do have a neighbor watching our house and feeding our cat, AJ. I just wanted to let you know that you won’t be hearing much from [...]

It was a great opportunity to spend some time with my old college roommate Susan and take in COSI, the city’s spectacular, interactive science museum. Since I was in town, I contacted Dr. Pierluigi Porcu, [...]

I drew Beth’s name from a pool of people who responded to my blog post asking people to share about their quest toward healthy eating. I asked Beth to share a little about herself and [...]

The fabulous event featured 10-minute massages, pedicures, manicures, food and giveaways, including free copies of From Incurable to Incredible™. The turnout was fantastic and everyone was so nice and inviting. The morning [...]
