A few weeks back, I visited my hometown (yeah, I grew up in Cucamonga, what’s it to ya?) to see my family. Pop still lives in the same house he bought just after WWII, and it’s hard for me not to feel like I’m 15 again when I’m there.

Before you can write, you need to have something to write about. This means acquiring in-depth knowledge - through a combination of research and experience - of a subject people will pay to learn.

It’s a common misconception that the Earth is farther away from the sun during the winter months. We even published this incorrect statement in Early to Rise.

Do you want people to do a double-take when you reveal your real age? Then do this: Eat cinnamon and cloves. Recent research published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found that these spices - which are often used in holiday goodies - not only provide antioxidants but also significant protection against the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).

For my husband and me, Thanksgiving is an international delight. My family is Italian and Irish. His is Latin American. When he was growing up, my husband and his family did not celebrate our American holiday. But since they’ve moved to the United States, they have embraced it wholeheartedly.

Thanksgiving, as we celebrate it today, did not originate with the special event we know and love. There were several “thanksgiving” feasts held in early colonial days, including the most famous one at Plymouth.

“You can learn something from everyone, every day. Even when I’m speaking at a conference, I always listen to the other speakers’ presentations. Because you never know what useful idea or process you’re going to pick up.”

I don’t remember being thankful very often when I was a kid. I remember wanting things - lots of things - all the time. I wanted toy trucks and cap guns and Lionel trains and baseball mitts. I wanted army men and model planes and erector sets. I wanted everything I saw advertised for boys on television. And everything other kids at school had, including boxed lunches and meat sandwiches instead of peanut butter and jelly in a paper bag.
