Recently, I came across Cute Moments Photography, an award-winning baby photography studio based in San Jose, California. Photographer Anna Eftimie is incredibly talented and creates the most outrageously adorable and precious moments with children. Talk about Silver Linings. I mean, really. Amazing!

A Case of FOMO: Fear of Missing Out
Hello! We have just returned from a 2 1/2 week vacation. I can’t even begin to tell you what a Silver Lining it is to be HOME. Though we had a phenomenal trip (photos and stories are forthcoming!), I’m pretty exhausted. When I say exhausted, I am actually epically under-exaggerating. On the flight, I realized that… Continue reading A Case of FOMO: Fear of Missing Out
The Art of Life – Gloria Steinem
This quote by Gloria Steinem is a great inspiration. Lately I have been thinking a whole lot about how important it is to use what happens to us in this life and – of course to find the Silver Linings – rather than to try to control life. Heaven knows that controlling life is an impossible endeavor. The… Continue reading The Art of Life – Gloria Steinem
Friday's Fixin's: Walnut and Banana Pancakes
When I was sick with that pesky breast cancer, I craved “white” food like nobody’s business. Sugar. Carbs. You name it. Anything junky, I was all over it.

Bookworm: CZ Guest American Style Icon
My new favorite summer book is C.Z. Guest: American Style Icon by Susanna Salk. I’ve always admired her. Not only was she one of the best-dressed women of all time, but she was smart, savvy and sensible (a double Silver Lining!). C.Z. Guest loved parties, but she also loved to get her hands dirty in… Continue reading Bookworm: CZ Guest American Style Icon
Life After: Making Plans After Cancer
Making Plans After Cancer The other day, I had a long talk with one of my dearest friends who is nearing the end of her seemingly interminable year of treatment for (a different kind of) f-bomb cancer. Our conversation centered around the topic of life after cancer treatment, specifically the difficulty of making plans. We… Continue reading Life After: Making Plans After Cancer
Giving: Imerman Angels 1-on-1 Cancer Support Connecting Cancer Fighters, Survivors & Caregivers
Recently, I had the great, Silver Lined opportunity to meet Jonny Imerman. Oh my goodness. He is literally an angel in this (cancer) world. At 26 years old, Jonny Imerman was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Throughout his treatment experience, Jonny was fortunate to have loving support from his family and friends but he never had the… Continue reading Giving: Imerman Angels 1-on-1 Cancer Support Connecting Cancer Fighters, Survivors & Caregivers
For the Love of Dogs
I couldn’t agree more with Gilda Radner about how amazing dogs are. They are indeed a role model. To be able to work, play and love unconditionally are the most incredible gifts that dogs give us!
Stretch Out Your Hand – Corinne Roosevelt Robinson
This weekend, I hope that you will indeed stretch out your hand to receive the gift of joy, appreciation and beauty…three of the worlds greatest Silver Linings, if you ask me. Enjoy!
