Can you relate to standing in your closet and literally STARING at your clothes? You don’t move, you don’t really touch anything, you just stare – waiting for something to jump out at you. But it doesn’t so you sigh and exclaim, “I have nothing to wear!” This is usually said aloud with a defeatist…

Well yesterday I turned in the first 75% of my first draft of The Twenty Something Manifesto. Which explains why my last blog posting was April 19th! I think my husband is jealous of my laptop – it has been getting way more attention than him the past month. But I digress. . .I am…

Dear Friends,What happened at Virginia Tech is a tragedy – it is shocking, saddening, and confusing. So many emotions come up from anger, to fear, to sadness, to compassion. For me, it’s been a time to reflect on the issue of anger, violence, and not understanding. From this campus in Virginia, to Iraq, to civil…

Spring is here!! As a new season begins to bloom, many of us are motivated to do spring cleaning. From our closets to our cupboards, we finally get rid of the shirt we’ve had since college and toss eye shadow shades we know we’ll never use.

The voices of “quarter-lifers” are being heard! Some of the comments I’ve received: “All I can say is that I…

Who is today’s twenty five year old woman? Lifetime Television investigates this question in an original special, “Spotlight 25.” A year ago I sat down with award winning journalist Willow Bay and her producing team to talk about what is on the minds and in the hearts of today’s quarter life woman. A year later,…

Pole Dancing gets me laid. . .up!!! My attempt to be sexy has failed miserably. This past summer, I decided that it was high time for me to try the newest workout trend of aerobic strip tease and pole dancing. After all, I’m married now so any lingering Catholic guilt should have died down. So…

Hey Everybody – I am in the process of writing my second book due out Jan 2008 tentatively titled The Twenty Something Manifesto. To make it a success I need YOUR INPUT!!!! The book is an extension of my first (20 Something 20 Everything) and includes stories with tips on dealing with specific issues facing…

Working from home has many perks, one of which is from 3-3:30 I do my “house” chores and watch Oprah…yes, my idol (me and a billion others). Anyway, today’s show was about MONEY and her guests included a group of twenty-something women who call themselves “Smart Cookies” and meet weekly to talk about money. These…
