REBIRTH, RENEWAL, REJUVENATION

Even the best laid plans can be thwarted and that's what happened to me when my publicist called saying that I had the opportunity to make an appearance on The Doctors. Here I thought I would be in Oklahoma City hanging out with my grandson Seth and my granddaughter Nicole while my son and his wife enjoyed a romantic four day interlude but that didn't happen. On one hand I am proud and delighted that I got to make an appearance with The Doctors but on the other hand, I was and still am disappointed that I let my son down. The good news is that my segment with The Doctors airs Thursday, September 16th. The even better news is that I'm headed to NYC and plan to drop by OKC on my way home to Los Angeles.

Did you know that sleeping on a flat pillow may cause under eye puffiness? You can elevate the headboard with old books that are at least one inch thick and find a thicker, more dense pillow (I still love my buckwheat pillows and always take them with me when I travel).  Lumping several soft pillows together will not produce the desired effect.
