We went snorkeling yesterday at Chileno Bay.  Daily, tourist groups are brought there to explore the reefs for which this cove is known.  Here in the southern Baha, the ocean is very clear near the shore.  Floating face down in these warm Mexican waters is somewhat of a transcendent experience.  Beneath the surface, the sunlight creates an undulating translucence simulating a 3D movie. The fish, each a unique color and … Read More

When we were children, my grandmother would travel east from Ohio to visit us in NY staying several weeks in my brother’s bedroom. He moved in with me next door and both of us shared the bathroom with Sylvia. One of our favorite pastimes was to peak into the shower where her lingerie was hanging to dry.  We would count the rows of hooks on her bra; 16 if I … Read More

NY-NYC-BotanicalGarden-(2)

I have been to the New York Botanical Gardens many times, but our visit there this past weekend was a very different kind of experience.  Maybe it was because it was the end of the summer and the rage of color was less acute, or maybe it was because there weren’t any special exhibits attracting hoards of visitors, but the park was virtually empty and very serene.  No one could … Read More


Featuring LiviRae Lingerie

livirae-gold-logo-1aSubmitted by Molly Hopkins & Cynthia Decker, co-owners of LiviRae Lingerie in Kennesaw, Georgia. “Cynthia and I met while working together in a lingerie store in Atlanta, Georgia a few years ago.
