Oprah and The Distinguished 1%: Military Spouses Make It To Primetime

It was a breathtaking scene. Thirty military spouses, laughing, crying, and hugging in a foggy haze of the holiday scene going on around us. It was October just outside the doors of this room, located just a few miles from my own house.…

The Military Marriage: 7 Ways To Keep Yours Sizzling!

It was time to send him his first "box of love." I asked her what she thought he needed. She said vaseline for his ashiness. I thought that was funny. And toothpaste and Q-tips.
