Sharing her own musical career with her internationally known musician-husband, Robert, Gaby excelled in her roles as a concert pianist, piano teacher, interpreter of modern French composers, intrepid world traveler, mother to three children, wife, and champion of her husband’s composing career as well as his extraordinary performance career as a pianist.  Gaby and Robert certainly could be said to have had a “piano love affair.”  The Casadesus family had been musicians for generations but Robert and Gaby’s family went on to be especially known as the “The First Family of the Piano.  Their son, Jean, sometimes performed with them on pieces featuring three pianos, one even captured on CBS TV! Gaby’s delightful memoir, My Musical Notes, is now available in English for the first time and is being published in October by Hamilton Books, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing.  It was first published in French in 1989 and describes: *Gaby’s love of teaching the French piano tradition, giving lessons at well-known schools such as the American Conservatory at Fontainebleau, Julliard and Curtis Institute of Music.  Due to her close association with many of the modern-day French composers, especially Ravel, she was known for her insights in helping students learn and interpret their works. *Her collegiate relationships and friendship with many leading musical figures of the 20th century including Ravel, Poulenc, Fauré, Toscanini, Bernstein, Szell, Ormandy, and many others.  In fact, she was friendly with Albert Einstein as well during her stay in Princeton from 1940 - 1945 and performed Mozart with him in a local concert!

From the moment Titus O'Neil laid eyes on his first son nearly 20 years ago, he has considered fatherhood his greatest accolade. Neither his decorated college football career, nor a WWE Tag Team Championship, nor his staggering achievements in community service could compare. Having grown up fatherless, O'Neil strived to raise his children in not just his own image but into something greater. Learning on the fly how to raise two young boys, and later adopting a teenage daughter, O'Neil soon realized that he, like any parent, is far from perfect. Now, as his three children - Titus, T.J., and Leah - become thriving adults, O'Neil shares the details of his humbling successes and failures in parenting so that others may learn from his experiences. Wrestling with Fatherhood tackles important issues in relatable terms and is loaded with stories and guidance for fathers from all walks of life. No matter the topic, from encouraging emotional intelligence to handling difficult conversations to simply expressing love and affection, you will find anecdotes and advice to enrich the lives of your children and your family's journey together.

Anyone who went to school in the 80s and 90s recognizes the sparkly unicorns, day-glo dolphins and bejeweled kittens that adorned folders and pencil cases. Those memorable designs came from Lisa Frank, Inc., a brand that defined girlhood for a generation of Americans only to seemingly disappear overnight. Now, a new docuseries on Prime Video, Glitter & Greed: The Lisa Frank Story, goes behind the neon-hued world of Lisa Frank to reveal a much darker reality. The four-part docuseries uncovers a stranger-than-fiction tale that takes viewers into a hidden world lurking at the heart of the company that wasn’t all puppies and rainbows. Glitter & Greed features interviews with Lisa Frank, Inc. insiders and journalists who describe a toxic work environment and corporate greed that ultimately destroyed the once-thriving business. Glitter & Greed: The Lisa Frank Story was executive produced by Emmy Award-winning producer and director Mary Robertson who last revealed the dark underbelly of ‘90s kids TV shows with the hit docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. Mary was the showrunner of The New York Times Presents documentaries Framing Britney Spears and Controlling Britney Spears, both critically lauded documentaries that touched off a reckoning on Spears' treatment, misogyny, conservatorships and tabloid culture.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… What should our reaction be when a powerful thought enters our dreams?  Plus…Why do people fear snow? It looks so pure and refreshing but people’s lives change at the thought of snow. 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…
