Kidney Donor Needed
Have you ever received an email that left you in shock? Did you want to believe maybe, just maybe it was spam? And yet, you knew that was only wishful thinking.

Honda Classic Eye-Openers
A few weeks ago, I went to the Honda Classic at PGA National with my friend, Elaine. Lucky for us, we had received complimentary passes, which saved us $40 each.

45 Minutes of Bliss
I recently attended one of Brenda’s Yoga Nidra meditations at Greenlands Variety Store in Delray Beach, Florida. Although it’s called Yoga Nidra, you do not perform any yoga poses. Instead, you lay there as Brenda guides you into a deep, 45-minute meditation. Yoga Nidra means yogi sleep. You are awake, but you are in a deep state of […]
Inside the Christmas Tree
Last December, I went to my first Christmas tree lighting in Delray Beach. One of my friends from Junior League, Gillian, had invited me out with her and some of her friends. Atlantic Ave was bustling with holiday spirit, as children excitedly waited for Santa’s descent. Lucky for us, we got outside seating at Tryst. As […]
