Sometimes it just takes a pause.  And some pampering.  We all often fail to carve out enough self-care moments so you can imagine the challenge for those in their cancer journeys.  So a few of us decided to create that time for local Lynn Cancer Institute patients at Baptist Health South Florida’s Boca Raton Regional Hospital. Eight amazing women, in all different phases of their cancer journeys, signed up.  “This is a ‘keep on going, it’s going to be alright we are still beautiful in whatever stage you’re in’ kind of moment which is really hard to remember on most days,” s ..read more

I still remember the outfit I wore on my first day (navy floral skirt and blouse). I drove a 1988 Jeep Sahara, had just rented a faded little shabby house in a boho neighborhood a block from the ocean, and my ancient dog Daphne was still alive. I had left a place I’d loved to come here to take the job as editor of Boca magazine and the other publications, and it was a giant move for me.

An outside investigation has cleared Delray Beach City Manager Terrence Moore of accusations that he harassed and retaliated against Fire Chief Keith Tomey, who was fired Wednesday by Moore. The report, which labor lawyer Brooke Ehrlich presented to the city commission during a brief special meeting on Tuesday, concludes a bizarre period that came into public view during a similarly brief special meeting on March 21. The agenda stated only that the purpose was “appointment of a special investigator.” But then-Mayor Shelly Petrolia said the issue concerned “one of our direct reports.” The commi ..read more

But don’t you worry—I’ve been on a mission, combing through all the summer camp options South Florida has to offer (with a s ..read more
