Beauty
Change your attitude, not your hair color. Claudia Kousoulas explains how you can still feel young even when you keep your gray hair.
More than once when I was young, people mistook my youthful looking mother for my sister. I didn’t see it; I could only see my mother, who laughed, seemed embarrassed and brushed it off. Now, people mistake us for sisters because she’s kept her hair a honey blonde, while I’ve let mine go gray. Now I laugh and brush it off.
Book Corner
Debbie Honorof sits down with two well-known Long Island authors, Susan Isaacs and Carol Hoenig, to discuss their new novels, both with a common theme.
Orginally this column was going to be about several Long Island authors, but something interesting happened along the way.
After finishing Any Place I Hang My Hat by Susan Isaacs, I began reading a book by another Long Island author, Carol Hoenig. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that this story also focuses on the search for a lost mother.
