I’ve always loved high fashion.  I consider it an art form, though you’d never guess to look at me. In my retirement years, I might pass for a bag lady.  If I could, I’d wear pajamas all day.  Dominique Browning, former head of House and Gardens, befor

A few days ago, I left my hairdresser’s shop feeling happy. When a woman’s hair looks good, she feels good, too. Then I reached my car and discovered my keys were missing. Suddenly I felt as if I’d swallowed a live gerbil. Of course, my keys had to be near. I’d driven to the s

I may have told this story before, but it bears repeating.  When I headed a teacher’s union, years ago, I defended a black member whom the school district longed to dismiss.  Her hair, greying enough to appear dusted with ash, surrounded a leathery face that seemed incapab

0 Comment
There’s a reason why women don’t earn as much as men, and discrimination isn’t the cause.  It stems from a female’s cultural role as a caregiver. In fact, 81 percent of people who tend to a family member in the home are women. Unsurprisingly, most of them are mothers and

One of my fellow authors is scratching her head because she’s discovered her books are being sold on foreign websites.  Her discovery raises a couple of questions. How did her novels wander so far from the home? Does one get bragging rights for making the bestseller list in Tra

At 81, I now have a pair of hearing aids, and believe me, I’d prefer not to.  If I didn’t already know life moves at a frenetic pace, I would now, judging from the noise around me.  I’ve worn these expensive devices for three weeks and I’m struggling to make the adju
