Who got kicked off American idol may 12?  I did not write about the American Idol performance program the other night, as I thought it is just too tricky to predict who will be sent home.  Last week I was incorrect; may be that’s why I didn’t hazard a guess! I should have predicted though,…

Here’s something to try today, will-power aside, if you’re trying to lose weight or maintain your weight.  Try having only half of what you would normally eat.  Having half and eating really slowly is actually an effective way to eat less.  There’s no need to abstain or forgo something you like.  No need to count…

There are times when one feels empty.  Perhaps it’s a moment of feeling blue about something not going as expected, an unfortunate turn of events, or being down on yourself. Do you need some inspirational quotes for difficult times, or a prayer? In these times of difficulty, it’s vitally important to take good care of…

Are you with me on the kick-sugar, going sugar-free, low carb intake campaign?  How are you doing with it?  Several people have written comments, how they’re doing with it.  But I’d love for you to join-the sweet with no sugar lifestyle, and tell us how better it makes you feel. Here’s a tip for those…

I want to wish every mother a very happy Mother’s Day, not just today but everyday.  I want to honor my mother every day!  Moms are the best, aren’t they? Thank God for moms. Without our mothers we would be here, it’s true.  They work so hard for us, with so many sacrifices, gifts, and…

I am so excited: I’ve lost 5 pounds in little more than a week.  I needed to do it, as I was again in my range of 10 pounds, 5 up or 5 down, from my ideal weight.  What are my weight loss secrets? Here’s what I did to lose weight and maintain: 1 –…

A day for prayer is really good, but I believe and practice that everyday is a day of prayer!  Let me add International to National Day of Prayer while I’m at it.  It’s controversial; just look at the Franklin Graham (son of Billy) swell around saying a prayer at the Pentagon today, and the court…

OK.  I was wrong this week… Aaron Kelly was sent home by the votes.  Truly a very talented kid, but doesn’t have the looks that Casey has.  Even though this is singing, looks are important unfortunately, in the entertainment biz. What did you think of the Lady Gaga performance?  And what about Harry Connick, Jr.? …

It amazes me that terrorist suspect, Faisal Shahzad, and other terrorists can ever claim that they are “spiritual” or “religious.”  How can someone who proclaims to love God even think of bombs, inciting terror, killing people and destroying themselves in the process? What is spiritual or religious about destruction and murder?  I have always been…

I have started a tradition!  As an American Idol fan (shucks, I admit it), I’m having a great time predicting the American Idol results week-after-week.  You’re very kind to play along, or suffer through — whichever American Idol camp you fall into!  I know there a lot of you who are not in America, and…
