Secret Agent Mom

Several years ago when I was still in the “honeymoon” stage of cooking, we had Thanksgiving meal with all the relatives at our house. (The “honeymoon” stage is when you want everything to be really cute and perfect.  The smallest failure can result in tears.) It was my opportunity to “shine” for my in-laws.

We planned to barbecue the turkey. (You do that kind of thing in California in November.)

Miraculously we survived and made it through the rough patch. Read more

Last year I became enthralled with this man’s talent. I’m looking forward to the release of this song. I believe in miracles! It’s at the very core of my being.

Twitter Newbie?

Three weeks ago, I had only seen the word Twitter on Facebook profiles. To say I’ve been “out of the internet” loop for the last three years was an understatement. Since I’m working on a new start-up biz that will have some of its foundation on the Internet, I decided it was time to dive into social media with both feet. I did not want to be a passive learner. And I found that Twitter was one of the best places for people who have a quest for knowledge. ---MORE---
