Putting Yourself First

How do you put yourself first? How does taking time for yourself help make you happier? These are the current “Life Well Lived” Getting Happy questions? WOW – these are big ones.

Creating Happiness in 2012

To start 2012 this question has come up on the BlogHer Life Well Lived Panel: How do you plan to create happiness for yourself in 2012?

Book Review – Faithful Place

How cool is this? I’ve written my first book review. It’s through BlogHer and for the fiction novel “Faithful Place” by Tana French.

BlogHer Sponsor Ella’s Kitchen

There were so very many sponsors at the BlogHer11 expo. So many, that I didn’t even make it through the whole expo. I ran out of time and to be honest, energy. Apparently, the amount of “goodies” or swag you could leave with was monumental. I left with more than enough and in fact, too [...]

Being a BlogHer11 Vegan

I express this with JOY!!!! It was absolutely not an issue at all being a vegan at BlogHer11. I was a bit concerned at first, wondering if I would find something in the provided meals and snacks that I could consume. Concerned until I saw: These signs brought me the biggest sense of relief. They [...]

BlogHer, Jimmy Dean and Me

Have you been tortured long enough wondering what I was doing at a Jimmy Dean session during BlogHer11? In all honesty, I am sad to admit that I almost didn’t attend simply because they were the sponsor of the session. I don’t want to be that sort of person or that sort of vegan. I [...]
