This is long. But, I could've said so much more. I’ve had two major loves in my life. N. my wasband. And T., my boyfriend from college. T. died earlier this summer. He was 58. He’d been on dialysis and waiting for a kidney for about 6 years. I knew he wasn’t necessarily long for … Continue reading Cheers to T.

Feesh on Frrrryyydee (AKA Fish on Friday if you’re not Scottish)
I’ve been enjoying fish on Friday since the beginning of April of this magical year that will otherwise go down in history as the Worst Year Ever. I am Catholic, but I’m not talking about fish the food. I mean Fish the singer. Once upon a time, he was the lead singer of Marillion in … Continue reading Feesh on Frrrryyydee (AKA Fish on Friday if you’re not Scottish)

That time I was on the Rachel Ray show
Back in November 2012, my mom and I were on The Rachel Ray Show. I had signed up on the “be on the show” page and a producer called me, with a very strange question: did I know anyone wearing very outdated glasses that needed to be brought into the current century? And my mom … Continue reading That time I was on the Rachel Ray show
The power of equine therapy
I've volunteered before and enjoyed it. About 8 years ago, I was an assistant to the athletes in two Special Olympics Winter Games in Vernon, NJ. Talk about an incredible experience, the energy was amazing. Then 3 years ago, I was going through a difficult time and a friend of mine suggested I volunteer somewhere, … Continue reading The power of equine therapy
