I can’t remember a time in my life that I haven’t felt more globally connected. With other humans. Known and unknown. Lives woven together by an invisible enemy. Relentlessly wreaking havoc. Communities shaken. Broken. Grieving. Immeasurable pain. America locked down. Indiscriminate against race; ethnicity; gender; religion; […]

I love creatives and the art of self-expression.  Unapologetically, I’m an awards show super-geek.   None of these glitzy productions escape my radar including: the Emmys, Tonys, Grammys, American Music Awards, Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild. Yep! I got it bad!  LOL! This obsession with […]

The sudden and shocking death of NBA Legend, Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna and seven others in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California is heartbreaking and devastating!  An ordinary Sunday morning–moms and dads, daughters and sons, husbands and wives headed to a basketball practice […]

Think about it!  How much do we really need? More is a trap. We are inundated with reality shows showcasing pretty faces and hard bodies appearing to having it all and living it up on a grand scale. Making many of us feel like we’re […]

Hey folks! I hate to break it to you bluntly! If you’re looking for a mouth watering, home cooked meal that curls your toes– keep stepping.  LOL!  Unless it happens to be a special occasion, holiday or I’m having a nervous breakdown and self-medicating! But, […]

Perhaps, it has to do with getting older.   And, realizing that time is fleeting. Or, maybe, it was that yummy shot of limoncello! LOL! ANYWAY!! Jealousy is a big, fat waste of energy. It eats away at your soul and makes you feel insignificant. “There […]
