The Brain: Our Next Frontier
I just returned from an inspirational trip to the Brain Health Fair in Boston. Hosted by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), the Brain Health Fair launched the AAN Annual Meeting uniting over 15,000 neurologists from around the world. This event was designed and executed by neurologists who were on hand to answer questions about […]
Reflections
For the past few weeks, I have delved through old videos and pictures of Mickie during her early battle with Epilepsy to provide content for the Mickie’s Miracles website.
Women Making History
I have a long time friend whose invitations’ elicit a fast response from me. Ninon has had this effect on me since we first met in LA while working in the entertainment industry. She is a political sage and an intuitively powerful networker. So when she invited me to attend Senator Barbara Boxer’s Annual Women Making History Luncheon in Beverly Hills on August 23, I gladly accepted.
My Re-Balancing Act
As summer days’ wane, I am soaking up the time with my kiddos. I enjoy my morning Lego building with Preston. This just means I sort them by color as he makes insanely cool and perfectly engineered creations and enlightens me on his world.

LTM Part 1 and Jennifer Garner
When Gabe and I were married almost seven years ago we exchanged personally written vows. I always remember his promise to me that life would always be an adventure. The last few days have lived up to his declaration. After posting my last blog entry on Saturday evening I fell asleep and woke up to […]
Vulnerability
What a whirlwind of change, growth and learning the past year has been for me. I have spent a month in reflection, creating a daily practice of meditation, yoga, reading and journaling. This has helped me balance out from the fast pace rollercoaster our family had been on. When I started this blog in February […]
Relishing The Victories
Today was a day that we never thought would happen. Our little warrior princess graduated from preschool this morning. We have been on an emotional journey with our little Mickie. Three and a half years ago we were told that she would never walk or talk. Today, we witnessed victory. She was singing and dancing […]
