Learn your wine
I love Napa. I really do. The weather, the scenery, the food… oh, and definitely the wine. My most recent visit was with my husband and three other couples in October 2011. We had a fabulous time, to say the least, visited 11 wineries in 3 days, and ate some of our best meals in [...]
Let yourself laugh
SOCIAL TRUTH: A good laugh is a sign of confidence… Confidence in yourself, confidence in your friends and your surroundings. Laughing at jokes, embarrassing situations and even laughing at your own self shows a secure level of self-esteem. Having such a light-hearted sense of humor makes others enjoy your company and want to be around [...]
Be open to new experiences
SOCIAL TRUTH: Make sure you’re versatile & open to new social experiences. If you’re open to trying a new music (or music venue), cuisine, sport OR are ready to try baking when you don’t cook well, then you’re more likely to be invited to the next girlfriend gathering. Just my little piece of moxie for [...]

Recipe: Pork Fried Rice
My aunt is Japanese and she makes the best fried rice. Several years ago, she sent me her fried rice recipe, scribbled on a note pad with no measurements… just ingredients. I struggled with it time and time again, trying to get the portions right, but it just never tasted as good as the original. [...]
A Beautiful Mess
Over the weekend, I’ve managed to get this song, A Beautiful Mess by Jason Mraz, stuck in my head. I wander around the house humming it constantly, considering just how relevant the song is to me. It has become a new favorite of mine. Enjoy.
