The event was Moderated by Elise … Continue reading Taking the Leap
“It’s good to be lost, that is where the journey begins,” was what she said to me when I was in the deepest valley of my frustration, and somehow it helped me to be patient with my travels and just be in for the ride.

[su_heading]An Interview with a Teen DJ on KDNK[/su_heading] As the silver sliver of a moon cradled itself between the twilight silhouetted hilltops, I switched on Aspen Public Radio to accompany me as I drove down the dark country highway.

I had seen the advertisements for Wine in Heels in the paper but never knew what it is all about. Luckily I met Mawa McQueen, President and CEO of The Kitchen Hotline and I had to see for myself what it was all about.

Winston and Jacqueline, this one’s for you…and for all of you other foodies out there! Continue reading Wine, Sex and Chocolate in Aspen

You never know what you are going to … Continue reading Living Societal Norms
[su_heading size=”18″]The Bernard Madoff Aftershock[/su_heading] I got a phone call a few weeks ago from an old time family friend. “Jillian, I’m worried about your motha”, she said with her thick Bostonian accent. “She needs you and it has to be you.

[su_heading]Losing Everything Because of Madoff[/su_heading] It is very windy and stormy outside. Hootie-Hoo is asleep, Thumper is hanging out with his daddy and Axel is at a birthday party. I could sit down to a good book and send myself into another world or I could dig deeper into my own world and write.
