About This Blogger
- Unless you see otherwise, blogs are written by me. To learn a lot about me (and who wouldn’t want to?) check out the About Us page at Howdini. But here’s enough to help you picture me, your happy blogger, as you read. I’m a willowy blonde, fabulous figure, late 30s, Ivy League educated but very down to earth. Oh wait, that’s my imaginary alter ego. In reality, I’m none of those things, except down to earth, or maybe, uh, earthy. I’m also a long time television producer and writer, a mom, and a wife. I have written two books; the new one is called Five Lessons I Didn’t Learn From Breast Cancer (and One Big One I Did) which you can buy HERE.
