We've been told dream big, but how? Dream Big! With years comes experience. When I first started blogging over a decade ago, social media was in its infancy & the way to grow readership & my vision was sharing my blog through channels like Reddit & email subscriptions. Fast forward to today. There are large…
A New Group of Advocates
For the past 11 years I have worked with a core group of dedicated volunteers on my pet project The Honeysuckle Foundation for Children with Cancer http://www.honeysucklefoundation.org. While initially formed due to Alicia's wish to help other kids by my than 7-year-old cancer warrior, Honeysuckle has persevered. We have outlasted many things that should have…
Everyone is pretty much the same…
I blog, I tweet, I stumble, I Pin and I Facebook. I spend hours 'connecting' with the world through my computer. Friends from yesteryear as well as new ones, the internet has given people an international audience to promote causes, share lives, seek new friendships and reconnect with old ones. The things I write about have…
A Secret Adventure Called My Life
I dropped my youngest daughter off at college this week. My 'baby' is gone and after 24 years of chaos and kids, I finally have gotten a moment alone. My life has been filled with laughter and tears, hopes and disappointment and more drama than I personally care for. I got married only to have…

Complacency gets you no where, yet motivation can move mountains. I have devoted the past ten years to my pet project The Honeysuckle Foundation for Children…
Tim Tebow and the Broncos….
Tim Tebow and the Broncos season ended last night in Foxboro with a decisive loss. Tom Brady and the Patriots were unstoppable and played flawlessly and with home field advantage they triumphed. Congratulations to them and to the eventual Superbowl winners. I am disappointed the Broncos didn't go all the way, but so is every other fan whose team…
Welcome 2012!
Christmas is over and the new year is here. The holidays are just a memory and a new journey begins. In theory, it is just another Sunday however, in reality it is much more than that. We like to start things fresh, like stepping on untouched snow or writing on a clean sheet of paper. This year…
Islanders vs Rangers
The New York Islanders vs the New York Rangers is one of the all time great New York rivalries. You do not need to be a hockey fan to know this. I grew up on Long Island attended quite a few Islander games and always enjoyed ice hockey. My son even played ice hockey and when…
I Wrote a Best Seller!
I love to write. I blog, I tweet and I wrote a book. I know people read my work, as I can see from my followers, subscribers and those who have purchased my book. I do not have the notoriety however, to make my book a best seller. I always thought the toughest part would be writing. Sitting…
