I’ve never been a huge fan of winter, but now that I’m doing winter activities, it makes it much more bearable! Last week I had the opportunity to skate at Rockefeller Center under the enormous Christmas tree and then sledding on Sunday after the snow! OK – so maybe it’s been awhile since you’ve done [...]

What a thrill! As part of the PR for the Divabetic event held November 14th, we appeared on Good Day Street Talk with Sapna Parikh! My special thanks to Annie, Suzette, Allyshia and Rosie – all plus-size models – for their time and energy in making this dance come alive! Bollywood is so much fun [...]

Life is full of setbacks. Success is determined by how you handle the setbacks. Do one thing a day that scares you! Successful people replace the words “wish” and “should” with “I WILL!” Have a terrific day!

While some relish in the cooler temperatures, others may struggle with the chilly air and the shorter days. The key is to be aware of this natural cycle for your body. If the cooler temperatures invigorate you, get outdoors as often as you can and enjoy the brisk air as you take your walk. If [...]

Yesterday, I was CRAVING pancakes. What?!? I went through my usual process – is this a binge, what does my body need, am I upset about something, am I tired? Bottom line – the feelings were neutral. REALLY. So I sat myself down in the diner with a good writing project and ordered my coffee [...]

I was drawn to the Biggest Loser last night while flipping to watch Luke propose to Tali.  What a night!  Both Malissa and Tali are beautiful and it was refreshing to see healthy, vibrant, curvy, feminine women. Switch back to Biggest Loser – the heaviest female they have ever had on the show @ 476 lbs.  (I remember standing in line here [...]

It’s the time of year when we finish up our summer project list and move into “back to school” mode!  For me, I begin a week of training with Christine Schenk (www.christineschenk.com).  Today and Friday I will take a two day program called Energy Body Medication.  Saturday through Wednesday, I will continue on with my [...]
