Wisdom Wednesday: A Little Bit Of Inspiration
Wednesday, January 25th, 2012Wordless Wednesday: What is SOPA Blackout?
Wednesday, January 18th, 2012
What is this black Wordless image, you might ask?
Well, it’s a representation of many who are shutting down their sites today. Going black.
This blackout started at 12:00 a.m. eastern time on Wednesday morning and will last until 12:00 a.m. eastern time on Thursday. Database giant Wikipedia went dark as a protest against proposed anti-piracy legislation in the United States called SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act).
In fact, if you go to Wikipedia.org right now and attempt to do a search, this is what you’ll find. Crazy wild.
Wordless Wednesday: On Vacation
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011
By the end of December, I have a feeling many of you feel this way. I know I do.
This is the time of year that I actually relax, and break from blogging for a couple of weeks. I spend quality time with my family, and they get all of me. No distractions, no deadlines, no stress. This year is no exception. In fact, I felt SO much like the baby above, that I decided to close shop early– today instead Friday. I have one more Skype consulting session in twenty minutes, and then I officially turn into a vegetable at noon.
But, I AM known to check in on vacation. Perhaps. You can also find me playing on Twitter or Facebook.
Wordless Wednesday: Definitely Wordless
Wednesday, December 7th, 2011Things were getting a little heavy around here, so I decided to lighten the mood. Here is your Wordless Wednesday. And might I add, it’s definitely WORDLESS.
Here is the deal. Two of my friends forwarded me this video last night. I confess, I had to watch it twice. It’s just so, well… awkward, gross, funny, weird. I can come up with a million different descriptions.
This is from the show on TLC called Virgin Diaries. I think the title needs no explanation. CAUTION: Don’t forget to BREATHE.
Alright, now that that’s over, WHAT DO YOU THINK? For real. I’m on the fence here– is waiting until you’re 31 to share your first kiss even healthy? Human touch is a basic need. Confession: my favorite part is listening to the guy’s reaction. Too much!
Wordless Wednesday: Gilad Shalit – Do You Trade 1 for 1000?
Wednesday, October 19th, 2011
Gilad Shalit calls home after being released
The world watched this week as the drama unfold in Gaza and Israel, when kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was released from Hamas captivity after five years, in exchange for the release of more than 1000 Arab terrorists from Israeli prisons.
Shalit told a TV interviewer that he hoped his release would further the peace efforts and help end the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
Some have celebrated and cheered. Others are outraged that the government would release one man in exchange for 1000 prisoners to freely walk the streets.
In The Kitchen: Healthy Cooking and Baking
Friday, October 14th, 2011I recently had the great honor of being the Celebrity Guest Chef in the kitchen on the fun-filled cooking TV show What’s Cooking. One thing my readers know about me– I love to eat, I can’t cook. I think that’s pretty clear, just by the way I handled that zucchini. 
But I had a ball, and if you’re looking for a fun, healthy, easy, recipe, check out this chocolate chip zucchini loaf below.
If you missed the show last Saturday night, check out my episode of What’s Cooking. Click on each of the stills below, and they will bring you to the individual video segments, or watch the entire episode from the beginning– all delicious made with vegetables (at the bottom of this page). I would LOVE your feedback!
Amanda Knox Verdict VLOG: Did The Italian Justice System Get It Right?
Tuesday, October 4th, 2011
Amanda Knox
Along with the rest of the world, I have been fascinated with the Amanda Knox case since day one. It had all the makings of a sensationalized media story– the beautiful American “girl next door,” goes to study in Perugia, Italy and then finds herself accused of brutally murdering her roommate in an alleged “sex-game” gone wrong involving a boyfriend.
And because of a guilty verdict four years ago, Amanda Knox and her then Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, have sat in prison since. But due to shotty police work and a real lack of DNA evidence at the crime scene, the case was appealed.
Yesterday, the verdict on that appeal was read: Amanda Knox murder conviction overturned! Her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito: Murder conviction overturned! They were both free to go home. The family of 21-year-old murder victim, Meredith Kercher, left in a daze, said to be still trying to figure out what happened to their daughter four years ago.
