Since we have been away this week and eating out (at some pretty fabulous spots!) in San Francisco, I thought I’d take the opportunity to tell you about an amazing company called ginnybakes founded by my dear friend Ginny Simon. After my most recent surgery, the ever-thoughtful Ginny sent a box of Ginnybakes goodies to help me recover.… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: ginnybakes!

Live and Learn – Gandhi
Action
Recently I had an amazing conversation with one of those really special people in life. You know the person…she is enlightened, progressive, smart-as-get-out and simultaneously cool, calm, collected and centered (Silver Lining). We were talking about the concept of obligation in life.

Spring's Bounty
In perusing the internet this weekend, I was giddy to find Vogue.com’s feature on six new (and very special!) cookbooks for the Spring season. Though most of them are way too fancy schmancy for me (i.e., I don’t understand 1/2 of the terms in most of the recipes!), I have joined the club of people… Continue reading Spring's Bounty
Style Inspiration: Grace Kelly
Everything about Grace Kelly-her talent, her beauty, her style, her confidence, her grace-ness-was extraordinary (Silver Lining).
