**Shameless self-promotion:  I had the honor of being interviewed for Yasmine's book, Crafting The Body Divine as an advocate for people with disabilities.  As we all know, self-esteem is important to the quality of one's life.  In her book "Crafting," Yasmine illuminates the importance of positive self-image no matter your body size, shape or its condition.  She believes in empowering women, especially those who live with the  with disabilities.  I support and applaud her efforts.  Thank you, Yas - you are one lovely lady!

I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Novak personally, but her online auction to raise research funds for Juvenile Diabetes is to be commended.  So, I would encourage anyone to please look at the items offered at the auction.  The proceeds go to a worthy cause and you have the chance to own something truly unique!  It's "win-win" all the way around!!!
