Christmas sounds abound. I hear them from my past, definitely my present, and I imagine they will be in my future. Meeting with 99.9 KEZ radio celeb Beth McDonald was a wonderful part of it all. Just like my mother, I’ve adopted McDonald as my own radio friend. Admittedly, like them, I certainly don’t let […]
My fiancé started cracking open the scotch and cigars, a sign of cooler temps and celebratory occasions. If it wasn’t his birthday, I might’ve thought we were celebrating Lamborghini’s 50 years! I am making the conscious effort to let others how much I appreciate them this month. The Stanton’s should be getting their note soon. […]
There are plenty of jealous lovers, late night seductions, fits of rage, murder and adventure. Of course, you’ll always find big-busted ladies squeezed into tight fitting gowns. You thought I was talking about the advent of the social season? No! It’s Arizona Opera and in their new home on Central Avenue will be home to […]
I see great hope for the Valley. I recently met a lot of nonprofit leaders at The Facts, Fiction & Fun of Fundraising and I must say they are going to change the world! They have identified the greatest needs of our community and they are taking action to help. In the fashion landscape, Saks […]

We lost 19 of our greatest heroes to one of the worst fires in history. Lives that won’t soon be forgotten. I would first like to extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends of these brave men taken by the Yarnell fire. As a senior in college, I was given the special opportunity […]
Congrats to Dr. Openden on his new role as SARRC CEO, and father yet again! Well, we know he’s not just a father of two, but many kids and families at SARRC. I’m fascinated at his own decision to enroll his son into their preschool program, and for good reasons. If you have a fatherly […]
Are you ready for the triple digits? Swimsuit season is here! The new SwimSpot in SanTan Village offers great selections and a fit specialist to tell you if the one you want is really that flattering.
