Last weekend, we took a short family vacation to Washington, D.C. While the primary purpose for our trip was to visit Ellen, my mom’s best friend from Harvard Medical School, we also spent a substantial amount of time taking advantage of the glory that is the Smithsonian Institution. My personal favorite of the many museums on the D.C. Mall […]

OESHer of the Week is back: and, this time, for a very special installment. Charlottesville High School’s own Marissa Tierney is an OESHer, and quite possibly the best AP English Language teacher on the face of the planet. But although she certainly deserves a page of her own, our focus today is on her eighteen-month-old […]

What do you do on an uneventful Saturday morning in the last June before you go to college? You and your La Vidas v2.0 recruit a friend, get in the car, and drive the forty minutes from Charlottesville to Yogaville. Yogaville is located just outside Scottsville (we Virginians do love our ‘ville’s, don’t we?). This […]

I spent the week accumulating pictures of OESH employees and friends–but, taking a cue from Instagram, I had them photograph themselves. Yes, the Selfie has made its way into OESH headquarters at last. Feel free to send us some of your own #OESHSelfies…this post could become a serial…

OESHer of the Week: My [Sibling] Kellyn In the summer of 2012, Ella Evans, one of OESH's star interns, started the concept of the OESHer of the Week Contest. The Contest idea was wonderful and a real hit while it lasted, but quickly got out of hand as there were always so many OESHers to celebrate that we couldn't possibly choose a winner.

As I mentioned in a previous post here, my friend, Dr. Mark Cucuzzella, from the Natural Running Center, just interviewed Drs. Kevin and Heather Vincent, from the University of Florida.

“Unconditional love,” my mom used to say, “is the most important thing a mother can give to her child.” That she gave and more and taught me to give the same to my own daughters. She was successful in making me strong and independent and to never feel like I couldn’t do something just because I […]

Our recently released OESHer Email #19 was extraordinary. The depth of our Media reach in February and March was the subject matter. These linked pages (below) have spawned a great deal of interest within and beyond our community of OESHers, so for those of you who may have only glanced at the Email when it […]

My friend, Bill Katovsky, from the Natural Running Center, just forwarded me a link to this New York Times article about women undergoing surgery to make it easier to wear high heels and the doctors who do the surgeries. The article, like many news articles on women’s high-heeled shoes, makes me kind of want to vomit and I’m hoping that Bill doesn’t expect […]
