Growing up in a small community in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains I never dreamed of living anywhere else. Yes, I love an occasional trip to the beach but I wouldn’t want the sand hills to be my home. Even as a small child I knew where my roots were. I had lots of dreams but moving away from Elkin, North Carolina was not one of them.

 

By most standards back in the early ‘60’s we were a poor family and sort of looked down on by many. That’s another story in its self.…

I went to a reading by Jay McInerney at Williams College on Thursday. He is a Williams Grad, class of ’76, best know for his debut novel, Bright Lights, Big City, The book started out as a short story called “It’s 6AM, Do You Know Where You Are?” which he read from at the event. It was great to hear him read from his acclaimed work of fiction about the New York experience, and I realized that his…

There are about ten things going on in my mind to blog about today, so bear with me as I ramble. I am so thankful for my busy days and stacks of to-do-stuff.

Back when my hair was naturally blond and my idea of dieting was only three scoops of chocolate ice cream drowning in hot fudge sauce instead of four, I went through a stage where I wanted to be an actress.



I was pretty, had been in quite a few plays, and thought I had some potential to go professional at some point. Toward the end of this period, I confided to my acting coach that I dreamed of playing Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire, to which she responded with a… Continue

When I initially heard about Alicia Keys' search for a head blogger to run her new Web site, IAAS.com, I decided to do some research to find more information about it. The more I discovered, the more I began to conclude that she was looking for ME! Don’t laugh, I’m serious. This whole “hiring process” is just an attempt to “put a name to a face” if you will. Don’t believe me? Check out the job description and qualifications (up top) and tell me… Continue
