Becoming a Woman of Influence
It feels as though I have barely had an original motivating thought or idea for about a month and this is certainly reflected in my blogging life.

I have embraced these principles and applied them in combination to my own passionate philosophy, cooking for … [Read more...] about Eastern Grill Meets Western Girl

After his cancer diagnosis, he endeavoured to give up cigarettes, food, wine, women, fast cars, bars ... and cigars!
