Our Man of the Moment for October is Carmi Levy: techie, photographer, blogger, and unabashed family man. He can paint a verbal picture of an every-day occurrence, capture it with his camera with a perspective no one else has, and then explain the technology behind both in ways no one can fail to grasp. Smart, […]
Continuing our conversation with journalist Sheila Weller, we talk a bit more about her most recent book, Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon – and the Journey of a Generation, learn more about her career, and find out about her love of spicy tuna rolls. Don’t forget to check out the first […]
Tanita Davis’s first novel, a young adult selection called A La Carte caught my fancy because it was a story about a mother and daughter, first love, career plans, and cooking – perfect for a summer read, or for this, our Harvest-themed issue. You can read the review in our blog later this month, but […]

There really isn’t one word that adequately describes our Man of the Moment, Derek Powazek. Some would call him a web-guru, others would call him an expert on new media and modern publishing. He has been involved in everything from Blogger to Technorati and founded a couple of zines along the way, most recently the […]
One of the quotes on my vision board is “Do Something that Scares You,” so last month I did just that. I invested money into the branding of my business and gave a fresh face to the on-line projects that are important to me.
I had professional portraits made.
In the age of digital cameras and […]
We often talk about the crisp essence of fall, or the soft perfume of a summer night. Just as the seasons have their own flavors and tones, so, too, do the perfumes we use to enhance our own personal scents. Are you getting the most out of yours? Here are six tricks which have helped […]
They, whoever they are, say that time heals all wounds. And I am here to say, “Right on, sister” even though I don’t normally talk this way. I say this with enthusiasm because, at this intersection of time and space in this thing I call my life, it’s true for me.
In my last column, I […]
Mark Twain has often been credited with saying that the coldest winter he ever saw, was summer in San Francisco. In fact, while the sentiment is valid, there is no proof he ever said such a thing. Not about San Francisco, anyway. He did say almost exactly that about Paris. Nevertheless, Twain echoes in my […]
This afternoon, as I hurried out of the office to soak up as much natural light as I could on my one-hour reprieve from Reception, I noticed – with delight – just the slightest bite of cool in the breeze, in spite of the heat of the sun. Fickle, indulgent thoughts of plum nail […]
As a recovered sales and marketing executive I prefer to call my life-long avocation in antiques turned profession - saving the destiny of a trash pile. Although I never really felt comfortable driving around on trash days (okay, yes, I have done this); I prefer auction bargain hunting and often would wait until the […]
“Let go of that which does not serve your purpose: pain, fear, judgment. Let it all fall away.”
I remember hearing the instructor say this during my third or fourth Yoga class. I’ll admit, at the time I was thinking, ‘Yeah, right. Easy for you to say, Lady.’ It was obvious that she had no clue […]
