Why engaged women should get to know Anderson Cooper

by

If you turn on the nightly news, sometimes it can seem overwhelming. There’s so much going on, and a great deal of it is about pain, conflict and disappointment. So why on earth would you want to stay in the loop at a happy time when you’re planning a wedding? Here are three good reasons.

1) just because you’re planning a ceremony and a party doesn’t mean you’re no longer a member of your community, or a citizen of the world. Keep at least one ear out for what’s going on outside of the World Wide Wedisphere.

2) building on 1, not everybody wants to hear the latest developments in your wedding centerpiece development. It’s handy to be conversant in what the rest of the world’s been up to.

3) and building on 2, your friends and family will be so grateful that there are non wedding thoughts in your head. Try bringing up other topics of conversation- watch the relief spread across the dinner table.

Live well, and love well.

A Good Gang – Appreciating The People Who Love You

by

Inquiring after my friendships, my Grandmother used to ask me, “Do you have a good gang?” I never understood this as a teen.  Did she think I lived in a Little Rascals movie? As an adult I understand. She grew up in 1930s Brooklyn (not the movie version) where she needed her “gang” to help her get through what can’t have been the Jennifer-Yanct-photos-011-300x199easiest life.  So how about you, do you have a good gang?  I’m guessing yes.  Friends, family, we have to be grateful for the people in our lives who support us.  Tell them you love them this weekend.

Be well and love well.
