Today was an extraordinarily long and difficult day. Why? More f-bomb cancer. I went with my dear girlfriend and her dear husband to discuss her upcoming (nasty f-bomb) cancer treatments, including gnarly chemo and radiation. F-bomb cancer. Seriously. Sorry about the f-bombs. Cancer just brings them out of me. Geesh. What can I do? After… Continue reading Under My Skin at The Pasadena Playhouse

Time – Ralph Waldo Emerson
The passage of time (& what to do with it!) has been very much on my mind lately…

Fun things are coming to The Silver Pen….Silver Lining!
To Blog or Not to Blog…That is the Question
Last week, I had the Silver Lined opportunity to participate on a panel (hosted by the Santa Barbara chapter of Women In Communications). The title/topic was: To Blog or Not to Blog, That is the Question. It was a fun and engaging night. One that really helped me think about/reflect on how and why I… Continue reading To Blog or Not to Blog…That is the Question
Linda's Silver Linings
In August of 1998, I happened to drop a bottle of shampoo while in the shower. When I bent down to pick it up, my arm brushed against the “7 o’clock” position of my breast and felt a lump. I immediately touched it with my hand, then frantically checked my right breast to see if… Continue reading Linda's Silver Linings
Musical Monday #8: I Will Wait by Mumford & Sons

This fall has already proven to be a whopper of new-ness, including some really fun features in two fantastic magazines! I’m still blushing at them both! I’m honored to be included in a story about inspiring cancer survivor’s in the… Continue reading New-Ness
Friday’s Fixin’s: Bread Pudding
Bread Pudding One of my all-time favorite desserts is bread pudding. Even the thought of it makes me drool! I seriously love it in an indescribable way! On this Game On diet that I’m doing with my girl-and one boy-friends, we are allowed to have one meal a week completely off. Yes, that means that… Continue reading Friday’s Fixin’s: Bread Pudding
