I keep doing flashbacks to my last speaking engagement and the one theme that seems to be of repeated interest, along with some others, is how a person can change their personality so dramatically. I’ve bounced some ideas around in my head and shall share them with you in this blog.
To begin, I think people [...]

I spoke to a group of about 35 to 40 men and women last night about my memoir, Becoming Alice. Surprisingly, there were a number of attendents who had read my book. In fact they had read the first edition of my book. And there were a couple of people who had heard me speak [...]

I’ve been invited to speak to the Sisterhood at Temple Adat Elohim Monday night, Aug.24th. I especially enjoy the question and answer period that takes place after my address. That is how I have learned what is most meaningful to those that are interested in reading, or have read, Becoming Alice. I shall share all [...]
“I Coulda Been Somebody”

I hope you remember that famous scene in the movie “On the Waterfront” where that talented actor, Marlon Brando, said, “I Coulda Been Somebody…” Actually, you can still see that scene on You Tube. That movie was popular many, many years ago and it got me to thinking of the place I was in at that [...]

I went to see the movie Julie & Julia a couple of days ago. I’d heard that Meryl Streep acted the part of Julia Child so exactly that one could hardly tell the difference between the two of them. Meryl’s body movements, her voice and elocution, and even the visual of her were absolutely identical to [...]
The Popularity of Books on Self-esteem

I have this life that revolves around books. I learn not only about what is written inside the books, but also what is going on in everybody’s life, every day that effects what kind of books they buy. I do quite a lot of interviews on radio and I found out that a high percentage of [...]
Interesting vs. Interested

When everyone started talking about putting up a blog on the internet, I read a few of them to see what this new thing was all about. People were writing about their sick dog, their mother-in-law’s visit, the new recipe for BBQ ribs, or the office clown that was making them crazy. I didn’t find them [...]
Being Understanding

I am in the process of recovering from a car accident. It was not my fault and my husband and I were not hurt. That is all on the good side. The bad side involves the driver of the other car, the car that hit us, and his behavior in this incident.
I’ve always considered myself [...]

The good news is that husband and I weren’t hurt. The bad news is that it is all so much work, especially when it was no fault of my own and the other driver is insane. More on this later…
