Check Out My Majority United Interview
Just wanted to share this fun interview I did with The Majority United: Empowering Women to Unite and Mobilize last night.

After one has a clear inner understanding of oneself, one can create a successful intimate partnership. (Caroline Myss, Anatomy of the [...]
Making Our Dreams Come True
I’ve had this theme song from Laverne & Shirley stuck in my head for the past few days. Talk about dating myself! But the song’s so catchy and so friggin positive that I had to share it with you. Yes, yes, I’m a dork, although I like to think of myself as a rather hip, [...]
