THINKING SKINNY is MIPA Award Finalist

12 05 2010

THINKING SKINNY from Cloud 9 Publishing is a finalist in the 20th Annual Midwest Book Awards (www.mipa.org) Social Science (psychology, family, self-help) category.  Here we are at the Award ceremonies May 12th at the Minnesota Center for the Humanities and although we didn’t take first place, I couldn’t be happier. Pictured below left to right: Connie Anderson (she did the final editing of Thinking Skinny), my husband Chuck Kasun, and me (Nadia Giordana).

Such a thrill to be included among so many great 2009 releases.

Order Out Of Chaos

8 04 2009

Black, white, ivory, assorted neutrals and an occasional accent color. That’s it. That’s my whole wardrobe. Everything in it is black, white, ivory or neutral. Blouses and accessories add color. Oh yes, and blue jeans. Blue jeans are neutral.  After losing about 40% of my total body weight, nothing fit and I threw everything out. I needed a complete wardrobe, all the way down to my underwear! It took a year to build, and I put a great deal of thought into every purchase, even jewelry. After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to start fresh and get it right. You know what I mean, I know you do.  I can now go to my closet blindfolded, pick out virtually any top, bottom, jacket belt and shoes, and it will all work together. I’m serious. How great is that?
