Remembering Whitney – the phrase seems to roll off the tongue far too easily, as if it has been waiting there all along.  Thankfully I’m old enough to remember reading a story in Glamour Magazine about the “new songstress who’d traded a modeling career for music”.  She was the first African American women to cover Seventeen Magazine in 1981 – and she smashed so many other barriers later.

Tomorrow may be Groundhog Day (I have a feeling Punxsutawney Phil will not be seeing his shadow this year ) but today is Imbolc, or St Brigid’s Day , a luscious day of celebration in the Irish culture.   It marks the beginning of Spring, and like everything ancient, involves a good measure of superstition and watching for omens.  One of the foremost of which is the weather on this particular day – if it’s a bit fowl where you are that’s a good sign. According to Wikipedia :  “Imbolc is the... Read Full Story

We love the news coming out of the UK this morning:  Britain’s Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have adopted a Cocker Spaniel puppy.  According to The Daily Express William and Catherine have been spotted out walking the pup near their home in Anglesey, Wales.  The paper goes on to say, “The dog is ever so cute. The duke and duchess have been seen with it several times and he runs along at their heels.  They are constantly in fits of laughter as it tries to catch them up.” We can’t wait to see...
