Well as we noted in another post, we don’t typically mention books, movies, etc. This is the book that made us temporarily suspend that rule.
It’s called:
What Should I Do with the Rest of My Life?: True Stories of Finding Success, Passion, and New Meaning in the Second Half of Life, by a good friend of ours, Bruce Frankel.
The hardcover came out last year and the paperback was just released. And here’s the best news:
Bruce has kindly provided us with three *signed* copies of the hardcover version of his book, to be given away through our site!
Bruce’s book is comprised of truly inspiring stories of people to who at some point in the middle of life (or later than the middle), were moved to reinvent their lives for the better.

We don’t typically mention books, movies, etc. as we’re not a review site, but this year we’ve come across two books that we feel are worth noting for our audience.
The first is called: 31 Days to a Younger You: No Surgery, No Diets, No Kidding by our friend Arlene Pellicane. Arlene is a writer, bloger, speaker, mom, and all around good egg.
Arlene’s book is filled with engaging, insightful and charming stories about her everyday life, and makes you feel as though you’re having a conversation with someone you know and trust.
The books includes lots of helpful tips on fitness, nutrition, health, beauty, organization and more, and encourages the reader to think about how practical tips can be applied to everyday life in order to help you look better, feel better and enjoy life more.

International Women’s Day is celebrated each year, on March 8. Today is the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day.
On this day, thousands of events occur around the world. Countries, organizations and local/regional groups are free to develop specific themes each year to celebrate and promote women.
For example, this year’s UN theme for International Women’s Day is “Equal access to education, training and science and technology: Pathway to decent work for women.” Given all that is going on around the world right now, that seems like a pretty good choice to us.
Check out two of the many videos celebrating this day:

Mothering Sunday in the UK is often called “Mother’s Day” and is regarded as more or less synonymous with “Mother’s Day” as celebrated in other countries around the world.
Occasionally we receive emails on the topic of the “Mothering Sunday” in the UK, and whether or not the name should be changed to “Mother’s Day.”
Should “Mothering Sunday” be Changed to “Mother’s Day”?
Some feel that the history and origins of Mothering Sunday should be respected, and the name maintained.
Others feel that Mothering Sunday’s origins are no longer relevant to the full and diverse spectrum of families in the UK today, and that “Mothering Sunday” might be more appropriately celebrated as “Mother’s Day.”
What do you think?
