Anywho, I ... Read More

Today was a great day. Really. Some days are like that. Some are not. That’s why I’m especially grateful for today. Molly Fay, (the host sitting closest to me) was a rockstar mentor and positive role model for me when I was just a baby in the TV biz. I will always be so grateful for the kindness she ... Read More
I sat alone in a small sterile room for 75 minutes yesterday waiting to see a doctor. I had already taken my top off and was wearing the white robe with the pink collar they give to all the breast cancer patients.
At some point I gave up on the straight chair and decided to catch a little nap on the ... Read More
Have you ever been on a reality show? Me neither, but now I can say I’ve come awfully close.
Saul and I had the unique experience of spending the last nine months with a woman from Ohio University named Hailee Tavoian. The words “strategy” and “advancement” and “marketing” are all in her title, but big words scare me, so I don’t ... Read More
Jordan almost started her New Year’s Resolution yesterday. She wants to see how many days in a row she can log 10,000 steps on her fitbit.

Pain and joy exist simultaneously. I’d say I wish it weren’t true. I’d say I wish I could just have the joy without the pain, but then I guess the reverse would also have to be true.
I’d have to accept the pain without the joy.
Where would that have left me during my breast cancer diagnosis? Where would that leave you ... Read More
Little Jordan Phillips is $645 and one day away from being the top fundraiser for the Komen Athens Race for the Cure. As a mom, how can I not throw the net out there one more time to say, “Anyone else?”
Is there anyone else out there who was thinking they’d like to make a donation but never quite ... Read More

Yesterday was one of them.
Yesterday was a day of pink.
And a day of celebration.

And a day of friendship.
But it was also a day to remember that I lived ... Read More
They say when it rains, it pours. That can be true in trials, but in my life, I’ve found that it’s also true in kindness.
In times of trouble, the smallest act of love is amplified. A note in the mail, a phone call or a text message can go far in lifting someone’s spirits. I still remember the gigantic card ... Read More
