I am always on the lookout for new companies to review, and when the opportunity to review a streaming video site came up, I jumped at the chance.  I was given a 30-day trial period to try out this video site in exchange for my honest opinion.   Indieflix is an online streaming video site that helps bring films created […]

For anyone who has known me for a while, it might come as a shock to realize there was a point in my life where I was obese.  At my heaviest, I was 205 pounds (10 pounds less than when I was pregnant).  I have struggled with weight almost my entire life.  My first diet was Weight Watchers when I […]

Heartbeat by Faith Sullivan My rating: 4 of 5 stars It never ceases to amaze me how books that I really don’t relish for most of the book will sometimes redeem themselves towards the end of the book. I honestly don’t know what it is that feeds this phenomenon, but it has happened so many times in the past year […]

I have always been somewhat of fan of Alexander Hamilton (even though he was killed in a duel–not his most brilliant moment) mainly because of his political and financial views.  I sometimes wish he were still here with us so he could solve today’s crises.  On this date in 1788, Alexander Hamilton said the following words at the New York […]
