Michelle Schwartz with The Agency

“Being Jen Levinson’s step-sister gave me access to a lot of real estate agents in LA, and I chose to work with Michelle Schwartz. Michelle understood what we wanted, was extremely responsive and made herself available to my husband and I whenever we needed! She was able to successfully navigate us through this crazy real estate market to not only find the best house for us, but also provided invaluable advice for how to actually get it. We love our new home and look forward to many memories here. I cannot recommend Michelle enough to any family. She rocks!”

The FabYOUList: List It, Live It, Love Your Life

There comes a time in every woman’s life when she realizes that the dreams she had as a girl are growing farther away in the rearview mirror. What can you do to make those childhood ambitions a reality? Join author Susan Campbell Cross as she tackles that very question in an inspiring, humorous and heartfelt story of reinvention. Susan’s declaration of, “There are so many things I thought I would have done by now!” led her to reflect upon what exactly those things were. Pen and paper in hand, she composed a “wish I had done” list and challenged herself to do everything on it before her 40th birthday. Ironically, the list ended with #40, “write a book.” This is that book!

Wigs for Kids – A non-profit organization that seeks to serve children suffering from hair loss

Wigs for Kids is a cooperative effort among Certified Cosmetic Therapists throughout North America who share a common goal. “These are custom-made hair replacements,” says Jeffrey Paul. “Each prosthesis is hand-tied and is made completely from human hair. We make sure they look just like a child’s own hair.” They won’t come off on the baseball field or in the playground,” he adds. “Kids look in the mirror and their eyes light up. To see that light in their eyes-that’s priceless.”

Riding the Roller Coaster of Pregnancy and Early Parenthood

This intensified microcosm of the life journey CAN be handled with eyes open, mind clear, body relaxed and spirit and heart involved, and enjoying the ride for all it’s worth practicing mindfulness and knowing that everything arises, passes away and something new comes to take its place. Think crying jags, tantrums, anger, frustration, pacifiers, diapers, and newborn onsies.
