This is a series of reviews of women who walked the red carpet that caught our eye here at LA-Story.com in either a positive or negative way.

Tips on Maintaining Positivity for the New Year-2013– Courtesy of Sass Ashe!
Everyone seems to start the New Year out with positivity. There are goals to meet and resolutions to keep, we’ve promised to keep in touch with friends and family after the holidays and we have so much to do to get back to our normal routines. This tends to last for at least a week or two, then suddenly we find that we’re to busy, too stressed and too involved with work and home that we don’t keep that positive momentum going.
Sass Ashe Has GREAT Tips to Help You Avoid Post Holiday Letdown!
Don’t you just love the holidays? All the peace and love, family and friends getting together and the wonderful spirit of giving make the holidays a wonderful time. But after November and December are over, once the New Year sets in, how can you avoid the post-holiday letdown? Suddenly people are back to work and too busy to get-together. There’s no reason for gift-giving and all those delicious holiday meals don’t fit into your New Year’s resolutions to lose weight. It can be rather depressing.
Field of Dreams: Myth, Movie or Legend. Cooperstown as a Paradigm. Should Skaneateles Suffer the Same Fate?
A friend of mine lives in Central New York in the FingerLakes area. It’s a quaint area, not a lot of big roads, and while they get summer tourism and winter tourism for the Christmas holidays, generally speaking this is small-town Americana. It’s the epitome of what some would call the American dream– local schools within walking distance for most. The residents know the firefighters and police officers and most of the doctors around their area. People are friendly with other neighboring towns– and I mean towns, not cities like where I live. This area is not a suburb. It’s a town– a little small, cozy town with a lot to offer (except when it gets to be zero degrees during the winter)








The Importance of Touch and Outreach to Those with Dementia and/or Alzheimers. Video!
Found on Facebook, shared by Dex Phillips who got it from Helen Sanderson & Associates. It’s one of the most potent, affecting and interesting videos to teach ME something about dementia and Alzheimer’s. I know enough about the disease to speak somewhat knowledgeably but this video goes much deeper than the knowledge I had or any experiences I have had in that sector and with that disease.
