Early this month, I reported that every time I stepped out the door in New York City during my press tour, I saw the word “Ghost” splattered across the tops of cabs everywhere. I figured it must be Patrick sending me a sign that he was there with me. And it was a joyous, and […]

I opened my computer this morning, and saw a link to a video on CNN.com – “Cancer Patient Marries in Hospital.” I clicked it open, and held by breath. I knew I was tempting fate by doing so, and putting myself in a position to test my whittled-down strength. It hasn’t been a good last […]

A friend of mine posted this wonderful little story. And while I’m not so sentimental about these things (don’t send me any pass-this-on-to-ten-women-you-love stuff, or you will go down), I thought this was lovely and wanted to share it with you – One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes […]

I just finished the bulk of press for “Worth Fighting For”, and I am in the process of spiraling back down to earth. Back to my “real” life, as I call it. Exhausted, and nervous. Since I lost my husband, when I return home from being out of town, I experience what I’ve come to call “Re-entry […]

Houston to LA. Sunday, January 8, 2012 It seems when good things happen, there’s something else that’s taken away. I don’t know about you, but life seems to have appointed me a personal guardian, an overseer that makes sure my life doesn’t get too much one way, or the other. It’s going to make damn […]

I’ve met so many wonderful people on my book tour. The first interview I had was with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America (As you might know, Robin went through her own battle with breast cancer). I’ve met her several times, and can’t think of enough good things to say about her. But what I […]

I had a fantastic New Years Eve celebration last night. The Lady M and I had dinner at the famous Carlyle Club, complete with entertainment by grammy award-winning vocalist Steve Tyrell and his band. It was a black tie evening, and classic New York. What a treat! The Lady M and I sat dead center, […]

I’ve been busy the last few days (too busy) getting ready to leave my beautiful ranch in LA to go to in New York. Why is it that I have to work two to three times harder before I leave town? It’s crazy. It’s not like, wow; I get to take a break from all […]

I had posted on my facebook page that the holidays are hard when you’ve lost a loved one. I find myself trying to avoid all holidays. This Christmas has been no exception. But avoiding hasn’t worked out too well for me. It hasn’t worked at all. As I say in my book, “It’s like trying […]

I hope you don’t think I am shamelessly plugging my book. I was intending to blog about something else, but…I finally got around to opening my huge pile of mail after being out of the country, and cut open a padded manila envelope from my publisher. And out slid – my first hard copy of […]
