When someone sends me a book, I feel an obligation to say something nice. As an author, I know how vital that can be for the success of the book. Keep in mind, if I don’t have something nice to say, as mama always preached, I won’t say it. So here’s the thing…I’m getting ready…
Read MoreMy third baby, “Paleo Vegan-Plant-Based Primal Recipes” is two weeks old. It’s been in the top 20 “Hot New Releases” in Amazon’s cookbook category. ALL cookbooks, not just vegetarian or vegan! It’s topping Amazon’s bestsellers in not only the vegan and vegetarian categories, but in the paleo category as well. “Veg News,” the largest US vegan magazine,…

Read MoreYou’ve had my pledge you’ll never hear from me unless I have something to say. Now that you have waded through the deluge of cleanses and New Year’s promises to get you back in shape, however you may define that…fiscally or physically, you may be considering life beyond any promised magic bullet. As a journalist…
Read MoreThe weather has been amazing the past few weeks. My old reporter-anchor memories came reeling back as I looked at the radar images in most of the states above Florida. A reminder that I don’t work for the Chamber of Commerce. But for those who live in warm climes, I bet you’re as glad as I…
