Jewel announced this past January that she and her husband, rodeo-star Ty Murray are expecting their first child. The singer-songwriter is now eight-months pregnant with the baby boy and the experience has inspired her to write songs for a new children’s album. “Some of them are just really sweet, like thoughts and feelings I want to share with my child and others were little lessons that I would hope he would learn and then some of them are just, sort of entertaining stories.” The project, The Merry Goes Round will be released this fall. In the mean time, Jewel is getting ready for the May 30th launch of her new songwriting competition Platinum Hit on Bravo.

God actually gave me the opportunity to not only meet this person, but, He gave me the privilege to meet, date, fall in love, and marry this person. As life usually is, it has been a roller coaster of deep valleys and high mountains. To all my friends (who thought I would end up marrying a senator or a political activist a surprise was in store for them {and me to}).
I was "the ultimate fake party girl - dressed to the hilt, in my size 5 tight party jeans, beautiful eye-catching blouse, driving my brand new sports car, dancing and drinking the weekend away as usual until Monday, when real life returns. A job that I hated, but payed well (Assistant to two Account Administrators in an award-winning Advertising Agency) makes a great resume'.
He is "My Hometown Hero" I was diagnosed as bi-polar and had post traumatic stress disorder with severe anxiety and panic attacks. Under all the pretty clothes, the perfect blonde hair, perfect make-up was me: a scared little girl, who grew up way to fast and the wild parties and wild weekends were just a form of self medication (something we learned together after many doctors, psychiatrists, medication and crying on his shoulder and constant long talks lasting way into the middle of the night would slowly bring out what he saw that first night a long time ago).
Our story and marriage is something for a long auto-biography or actually a long fairy tale to be told a long time from now because it's still happening. That's why 23 years later I still call him my knight-in-shining-armor and he still calls me his angel. And that definitely qualifies him as one of "Your Hometown Heroes"!!! I will always be grateful for the best gift anyone could ever wish for. He's the best dad, the best provider and the best husband ever made and why he was given to me I can only guess.

HEALTH MOMENT
The age at which women go through menopause depends a lot on when their relatives did, according to new study findings.
Specifically, women whose mothers or sisters experienced menopause by age 45 were roughly 6 times more likely to do the same. Women who underwent menopause at a relatively late age - 54 or older - were also 6 times more likely to have seen the same thing happen to their mothers, and twice as likely to see it in their sisters.
But age of menopause is not entirely inherited, the authors found - a significant component also depends on so-called environmental factors.
"Genes have an important effect on age at menopause, but lifestyle also matters, and so women can affect their age at menopause by their behaviors," study author Danielle Morris at the Institute of Cancer Research in the UK told Reuters Health.
Scientists know that certain aspects of a woman's environment directly impact her age at menopause, Morris explained - for instance, women who smoke tend to undergo menopause roughly 1-2 years earlier than former or non-smokers. Women who have never given birth also experience menopause earlier, she said.
Both early and late menopause appeared to run in families, the authors found - but so did usual-age menopause, they note. Specifically, women whose sisters and mothers underwent menopause during a typical age were between 2 and 7 times more likely to do the same.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
#1.) In April in Alabama, a family's home was destroyed by a tornado, and their DOG was blown away. Twenty-three days later, the family went to check the debris from their home . . . and the dog showed up. He'd managed to find his way home, even with two broken legs.
#2.) Which would you rather have: Your dream body for the rest of your life . . . or $1 MILLION? In a new survey, 22% of people went with . . . the body. The other 78% would take the money. The survey also found that 17% of people lie about their weight on their drivers' license, and 68% have tried a diet at least once.
#3.) You're right: The other people on the road ARE completely unqualified. According to a study, 18% of people would fail their state's written driving test if they had to retake it tomorrow. That multiplies out to about 37 MILLION Americans. The study also found that men are more qualified to drive than women . . . 27.2% of women would fail the test versus 13.6% of men. This explains a lot!!!
And I leave you with this thought…
"The appearance of things change according to the emotions and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves."
