These days, he not only eats fish, fruits and vegetables but watches the amount of salty foods and sweet treats he eats. As a child, Michael saw his father and several of his relatives struggle with diabetes. Some of his aunts and uncles lost limbs to the disease and died from it. Tanya his wife is not only Michael’s bandmate but also his partner in healthy eating. She was diagnosed with high blood pressure. Tanya’s mother died from high blood pressure-related complications. The singer-songwriters are currently traveling around promoting their new album, “Plus One.” They said it’s not always easy to eat healthy meals when they are on tour, but they shop at grocery stores whenever they can.

A few months into Lindsay Jill Roth's transatlantic courtship with a handsome Englishman she'd dubbed "the Brit," he made an off-hand comment that hit her like a gut punch: "But I don't know you well enough yet." Despite hours on FaceTime and a series of swoon-worthy dates in London and New York, she reluctantly realized that he was right: they didn't know each other very well. And their budding relationship, while certainly romantic, was hardly practical. In an age of increasingly impersonal dating-where "ghosting" is the norm and "situationships" abound-how do you actually get to know someone? How do you get off the hamster wheel of first date after first date and advance a relationship along the path to commitment?Enter Romances & Practicalities: A Love Story (Maybe Yours!) in 250 Questions (William Morrow; on sale January 28, 2025), which delivers an unputdownable blend of personal storytelling and research-backed self-help, including 250 questions spanning a dozen essential categories-from money to children to chores to sex-designed to help readers assess compatibility with a potential or current partner, initiate tricky conversations with grace, and build stronger, deeper relationships. Lindsay weaves those questions with stories from real-life couples, as well as guidance from a range of experts, including author and psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb, the "holistic psychologist" Dr. Nicole LePera, Dr. Mark Hyman, sex therapist Dr. Emily Morse, the "Sleep Doctor" Michael Breus, People magazine's "Sexiest Veterinarian Alive" Dr. Evan Antin, Suze Orman, David Kessler, Barbara Corcoran, and many more.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… How can we get better at embracing endless change?  Plus…is it wrong to always ask questions? I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

Welcome back to the studio.  This is My Day of Play, where you’re taken into the real events and actions of how it happens long before the process of editing or cleaning up.  The original purpose of these episodes was to give my broadcasting students something to edit, to practice with and to call their own.  Then I realized that you are just as important.  Share the reality of how it really went.  We begin things with bestselling author Jennifer Probst who has penned out over 50 books.  Our focus was put on how you might be a writer and not know it.  There are ten signs.  Then we’ll wrap things up with Deborah Serra who has written numerous tv and film episodes, been published in literary magazines and loves to put her thoughts into the pages of a book. This is My Day of Play.  Completely unedited in the way of meeting the wizard behind the curtain.

Michael Hoffen and the protagonist in his new book are both teenagers, but there’s quite an age gap between them—about 4,000 years. In Hoffen’s new book, BE A SCRIBE: Working For a Better Life in Ancient Egypt (Callaway Children’s Classics, April 9, 2024), he brings to life the story of a young Egyptian, Pepi, whose father, Kheti, is intent on getting his son a job in the royal court. Hoffen, who has been translating ancient texts since middle school, became fascinated by a 4,000-year-old or so piece of literature from ancient Egypt’s Middle Kingdom known as The Instruction of Khety, or “The Satire of the Trades.” Under the guidance and collaboration of his two co-authors, Egyptologists Christian Casey and Jen Thum, Hoffen spent three-and-a-half years translating hieroglyphics to modern-day prose and gathering images to tell the story of Kheti and Pepi. Beyond the words, which reveal a wit that transcends 4,000 years, ancient Egypt comes to life with more than 100 beautiful images of vibrant and colorful ancient Egyptian artifacts, paintings, graphics and illustrations that are featured throughout the book. This young author, a scribe himself, has given us a tale that helps us to see just how little the human condition has changed in thousands of years. Parents still want the best for their children and teenagers face important decisions as they set out on their career path. For younger readers, the book serves as an inspiration for their own journey toward gaining greater knowledge, exercising intellectual curiosity and, perhaps, finding their own career paths.
