Welcome to Friday’s Featured Female!
This weekly series features inspirational stories from admirable women. IMHO, it’s always good to be reminded of how strength, determination, hard work, heart and ingenuity can impact the quality of one’s life and I’m proud that these women will allow me to share their stories here.
Today we end the “Month of Melissas” with one of my running and fitness inspirations – Melissa@MelissaRunningIt. I found Melissa’s blog through a Twitter #runchat feed. To find out that Melissa was a […]
Virtual Coffee Catch Up Date
I’ve been slacking off a bit when it comes to my blogging. Things have been a little busy and since I’m not one of those “whip out a quick post kind of bloggers”, I’ve taken a page from Christine@LoveLifeSurf with a Virtual Coffee Catch-Up Date today. I know we should all have more of these IRL but until we can, this will need to suffice.

If we were having coffee, I’d ask you how you’re dealing with the weather. – – – […]

Today’s Tunes For Tuesday is the 1985 hit by Feargal Sharkey, “A Good Heart”. Feargal Sharkey was part of the group The Undertones and also worked with Vince Clarke (of Yaz, Depeche Mode and Erasure) but he’s best known musically for this #1 hit penned by Maria McKee of Lone Justice about her relationship with Tom Petty.

This is a fun pop song and the video is so 80’s stylized it […]

New Feature: In Susie's Kitchen – Mast Brothers Chocolate Cookbook Review
I got a great birthday present this year that I get to share with all of you – my exceptionally talented friend Susie Litman, Editor at Harlequin Books and baker extraordinaire has agreed to finally show off some her chops here on my blog reviewing cookbooks on a monthly basis starting today.
Susie doesn’t know it but she’s famous on this blog as my New York friend whose surprise birthday I nearly spoiled by almost bumping into her during my #SecretVacation5K in San Francisco this past summer (see below). Susie […]
Tunes For Tuesday – Tin Tin
Welcome to Tunes For Tuesday!

Today’s Tune is Stephen “Tin Tin” Duffy’s “Kiss Me”. Stephen was the original lead singer for Duran Duran before Simon Le Bon joined. I have to say that I’m glad that he left and made way for SLB.
I always loved this song and just looking at Stephen, you can see how young he was. Because I always like to do a little research before posting about an artist, I had no idea that Stephen did work with Steven Page of […]
