Tunes For Tuesday With "Strength" for World Cancer Day
It’s Tunes For Tuesday but today is extra special because it’s also World Cancer Day.
Everyone has had cancer touch their lives. Yesterday I announced that I am a new Ambassador for the LoziLu Women’s Mud Run, (a fitness event that gives a portion of its proceeds to cancer) and I found out that someone I care about is in remission from colon cancer.
A Girl Power Mud Run For Cancer – The LoziLu Women's Mud Run

Friday's Featured Female – Patience Bloom@RomanceIsMyDayJob
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’s #FFF is Patience Bloom@RomanceIsMyDayJob – an editor at Harlequin, runner and die-hard Duranie (she wrote a 50 page term paper on the band in high school and walked down the aisle at her wedding to “Rio”). Patience and I met through one of my best friends, Susie (who you might remember from my #SecretVacation5K), and had a girl-crush quick. Patience is smart, a little bit snarky and about to set the world on fire with her own true story about how a Facebook message from a high school friend changed her life in Romance Is My Day Job: A Memoir of Finding Love At Last.
Sooooo have you met Patience?

Today’s Tunes For Tuesday pick is a song that I can vividly remember hearing for the first time. Jay and I were in Barnes & Noble reading a few books on a lazy weekend day and The Postal Service’s “Sleeping In” was playing overhead. We both looked at each other and intently listened to the song the whole way through and then promptly walked over and bought the CD. It was that good – and still is.
The song may be […]
I'm Up All Night To Get Lucky….At The Grammy's!
I planned on being able to tell you all of the details about the very amazing Evolution Fitness Now Conference and TheFitExpo that I attended on Saturday but instead it’s going to have to wait because I went to THE GRAMMY AWARDS last night!
At the Grammy’s with my friend Josie.
If we’re friends on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, this isn’t news to you at all. I might have blown up the internet a little bit with my posts (and gave spoilers to the West Coast – sorry). I thought it was a great show and I was thrilled to have attended this amazing event due to an angelic friend who gifted these tickets to me (and my lovely friend Josie – since Jay couldn’t attend).
For me, the highlights of the evening included: […]
