Stressful Times? Fill Up On Friendship

The last time you hung out with your closest friends, what did you do? Because if you didn't laugh so hard your sides hurt, or leave feeling like life was a little better, it might be time to start a dinner club. Here's a peek into ours from this weekend, and why everyone should be a part of something like this (especially when times are tough).

The night's warm. As the sun sets, candles flicker on the tables. The smell of ribs on the grill, Italian wine, homemade bread and fragrant… Continue

Who was that girl?

I found an old picture of myself from my senior year of college. I looked at the picture and asked myself...Who was that girl? I sorta remember her. She was feisty, spunky and weighed a lot less. Had I known, that almost twenty years later I would be still chasing that image of myself, I would have done some things differently. That spunky young girl could dance all night, but she was a social smoker and a bit of a binge drinker. She was really hard on not only her body, but herself, she worked… Continue
