I met Carl Shay, of YouTube's famous Shaytards,...
And when I got home, I started watching his family videos - mesmerizing, hysterical, and so much FUN.
I honestly think they have The. Cutest. Family. In all of America. Why isn’t everyone this adorable with each other?!?!?!?!?!
Check out their channels and you’ll see what I mean:...

On my Gratitude List this Thanksgiving ...
Dan’s latest scan came back clean. Below is a portion of what he wrote in the email update he sent to friends & family, in which one line in particular stood out (to me): “There is always fear, but often there is also happiness.”
Since the age of 15, Dan has always been a person with great depth and a seemingly endless fount of knowledge - but his wisdom, in the face of...

Watchahhhhh! My girl Rachel called me last night for some “emergency” tips about how to do a live tv interview, and this morning she NAILED IT!!!!! So proud of her.
I’m especially happy that she did two of the things I really emphasized: smile (which sounds obvious but many people forget to do this), and get in all of the URLs (because what’s the point of talking about your...

Advice from a friend
When I got my diagnosis from Dr. Pastore, one of the first people I emailed was Dan (for those who aren’t regular readers, my high school beau and friend of 15 years), who had to go on gluten-sugar-dairy free when he was diagnosed with cancer three years ago. I knew he would have good suggestions for how to implement the diet.
(BTW, a few people suggested I get a “second...

The future of reading ... →
Before I switched to the Kindle, I rarely read a book without a pen in my hand. Now I highlight and screenshot passages I like, emailing them to friends or just saving them for future reference (although, c’mon, let’s be honest, how often - really - do we “reference” things we save “for future reference”? LOL)
I grew up in a family that clipped articles and...

Well ... I figured out what was wrong. Everything,...
Remember how I’ve been struggling with skin/acne and digestive issues for the past few months (well, really, my entire life)?
I knew it wasn’t topical - not a skin cream I was using or not using, not having the proper face wash or anything like that. From what I knew about how our bodies process toxins, I could tell it was an issue with my hormones, or an allergic reaction, or...

THE ANGRY THERAPIST: Marriage Abuse →
I completely agree.
theangrytherapist:
Kim Karshaisan and Kris Humphries file for divorce after 72 days. When I hear stories like this it gives me the same feeling as hearing about teenagers using abortion as birth control. I think there’s a tremendous lack of responsibility here. I don’t know their hearts or the details of their relationship but unless there was physical / emotional...
