When Cheryl Miller interviewed me for her article in the […]

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day.
Yes, thank you, Captain Obvious.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, this fact is painfully clear to you. Did you buy your mom a card? Does she really know how much you love her? Are you as good to your mother as she was to you? Hmmm? Hallmark, the diamond store and […]

I love that I am finally mature enough to appreciate, nay embrace, the opportunity to hang out with a ton of cool women congregated together in one room.
The occasion? A local fundraiser for the Pennsylvania Women’s Campaign Fund (PWCF). While not as large as this event, it was an equally magical moment for me. Some […]

Last week, I started to tell you about the “Best of April” posts that were getting rounded up here on the Health and Wellness Channel. I’m pleased to report we now have a full list. We know you probably don’t have time to visit all of the sites all of the time, so we’ve gathered […]
