I send care packages for my two boys and Patty’s two girls from time to time and was perusing Amazon for ideas and thought I’d share my newfound knowledge and ideas. If you are going to do this, act soon since Valentine’s Day is less than a week away.… Read More »

A friend texted me on Black Friday and said, “drop what you are doing and sign up for this Black Friday deal at Miraval Spa, Austin”. Since you can cancel up to 30 days out, I clicked the link on the spot, and so began my “spa journey” … and I soon found out it was more than just massages and manicures!… Read More »

I’ll bet you didn’t know The Aha! Connection came really close to being named “Walking George” instead. A group of friends and I were pondering how to turn my email newsletter hobby into a business and “Walking George” came in second place for a name. I always found out about fun/relevant/important news when out and about walking with George.… Read More »

I was recently invited to a Media Open House and New Showroom tour at ADAC. What is ADAC? It’s the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center and I’ve always assumed it was a designer’s showcase only open to Interior Designers but I was WRONG. Turns out they’ve been open to the public for more than 10 years. … Read More »

As I’ve grown older my hair is getting a little curlier/frizzier but thankfully still hardly any gray! Tony Riley (who has been cutting my hair since we were both 22) suggested maybe I try one of these Keratin treatments that he and I have been giving away for years! … Read More »

I read two books over the holidays and started another. I have to pace myself or I’ll find myself reading 24/7 and forgetting to eat or sleep!
The first one I read was Lessons in Chemistry. It is Bonnie Garmus’ debut novel and it is a hoot. … Read More »

Back around the time I first started The Aha! Connection, I received an email from Laura Schilling inviting me to lunch at Panera in Dunwoody. I didn’t know her, but she sounded nice and wanted to get to know me because she thought our newsletter was great for the community. … Read More »

I met Karen many years ago at Foodie Patty’s 40th birthday celebration at Houston’s. Needless to say, we’ve been friends for quite awhile now. However, when I get together with Karen in my AHA! mode, we typically only chat about all things real estate. When I sat down with her last week, I had to twist her arm a little to let me share a more personal side of her career story.… Read More »
