Here I was, minding my own business on twitter the other day when the Atlanta Journal-Constitution tweeted a blog posting from one of their political correspondents, Jim Galloway. I am not a strict follower of politics generally – but I religiously follow health policy news. Shameless plug: You can come […]
The Divorce Diet and other ridiculous (but effective) weight loss strategies US News reported the dramatic weight loss of former reality TV star, DeShawn Snow. If you remember, Deshawn was on season one of The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) but her contract was not renewed. It is speculated that […]

Last week, we lost a great American icon, Elizabeth Taylor. I have always had a fond respect for her – not only was she an academy award-winning actress, she was a beautiful, confident and quick-witted vixen that seemed to be generous in many ways. I appreciated her candor and can […]
