Today is Oprah’s last show, and I hope you will all watch it, because Oprah is my friend. Oprah went global two months after my fabulous daughter was born. I’m not sure when I started watching, but I’m pretty sure it was close to the beginning. At that time there was no such thing as TIVO, so I didn’t tape it. Let’s say I watched five times a month. I don’t remember any of those shows, but I do remember she ...read more Arnold, Arnold, Arnold. Really? And as for the housekeeper/assistant—you couldn’t resign when you got pregnant? You had to stay in the household for ten more years? You had to provide Maria and the children with memories of yourself as an integral part of their personal lives, and all the while you were the mother to their husband’s/father’s child? Really? This story is not a new one. In other countries, it’s not a deal-breaker the way it is in the US of A. ...read more So, as it turns out— surprise, surprise—women’s stem cells nurture regrowth twice as much as men’s stem cells. Now, I recognize that this may mean nothing more than that our stem cells are ‘richer’ than men’s. But it may also be God’s message about what we offer in the bigger scheme of life. Think about it. If it had been Lehman Brothers & Sisters, that company’s story might have had a different ending. I’m just saying. Seriously, the stem cell thing is ...read more Don’t get me wrong; I’m sorry she died. I’m especially sorry for her children. I’m extra especially sorry for her youngest two, who are too young to lose their mom, especially considering all the personal pain they have had over the past few years with the public breakup of their parents’ marriage. I have often thought about those two young children, and can only imagine what was said to them by their peers at school, what they have overheard, or ...read more I have to review these two movies together because they are both about women in the seventies who stood out among women, bucked the conventional roles of women, and made us all better for it in the end. I cried all the way through Secretariat. What is it about horses? What is it about the way they stride forth that makes me want to do the same thing? To be extraordinary. Isn’t that the point for each of us? To find ...read more Today at 6:45 p.m. EST, the Breeder’s Cup will be run at Churchill Downs in Kentucky. Zenyatta will run in this race; the only mare in a sea of testosterone-filled male racehorses, and she is bigger physically than all of them. This will be her twentieth race , and she has won all nineteen of the races she ran prior to this one. This is also her last race. Normally I would write about her tomorrow after her history is ...read more I have a good new friend who is really, really busy. She has a number of businesses, a fab husband, two very small children and two dogs, one of whom died. Her to do list is like mine, longer than her life span. She has zero time for herself and takes care of way too many people. So, the dog dies and what does she do next? Three days later she posted on Facebook that she got a new puppy. Then ...read more I have to start this review with the fact that everyone said not to bother seeing it; that the new Sex and the City was not as good as the first one and it’s a flop. So, after seeing it, I did go look at some of the reviews and shook my head in wonderment. If you have a man review a picture made purely for women (ok, and gay men), then you will never get an understanding of the ...read more |
