Whitney Houston, Donna Summer, Dick Clark, Robin Gibb. These people were part of the fabric of our lives. You didn't have to be a fan in order to feel the impact of their contributions to music. &nbsp; Whitney Houston had an extraordinary voice. She was as comfortable with the soft ballad as she was with a high energy belting style. Anyone who has tried knows that singing like Whitney is a challenge! Mariah, Beyonce, Christina and others since her have continued the Whitney legacy. &nbsp; I didn't completely sign on to the disco scene, but there was something about Donna Summer. She had some great songs and &ldquo;heaven knows&rdquo;, I danced to so many of them. Her sultry rich voice was like no other. &nbsp; I had been listening to Robin Gibb's music since I was in ...http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10386636nquill@magic1067.com (Nancy Quill)http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10386636Thu, 24 May 2012 18:29:39 GMTHappy Mother's Day! I hope you have something nice in the works whether you're a mom or plan to honor a mom. Often times it can be the simplest thing. &nbsp; My Mother's Day has become a family tradition. I wouldn't have it any other way. First, I get to sleep in, there's a luxury right there! And then when it's time, my husband and son wake me up and bring me to the kitchen where a beautiful breakfast is waiting for me. Then I open my cards and open a few gifts. Later in the day, the rest of the family comes by for dinner. We always manage to grill out, rain or shine! &nbsp; All of that is so very special to me, but I'll tell you the best part of the day is to hear these words from my son, &ldquo;I love you, Mom&rdquo;. No matter how ...http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10382571nquill@magic1067.com (Nancy Quill)http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10382571Fri, 11 May 2012 18:06:44 GMT&nbsp; Do you have Facebook Jealousy? Researchers recently discovered that for people who are already predetermined to exhibit jealousy, Facebook reinforces that behavior. &nbsp; Psychologists found that Facebook is a prime place to reconnect with past relationships, and that could be a concern for anyone involved in a current relationship. Facebook friends can develop a sense of intimacy with each other, too, and that could feel threatening. &nbsp; I've found that Facebook jealousy is not an issue for me, but here's what brings out the green in me: Friends posting pictures of their fun vacations and trips, especially when I haven't taken one in a while. You know, the smiling faces, the posts about getting on a plane and heading somewhere warm and exotic. The couple in their resort wear, raising their wine glasses toward the camera. Gets me every time. &nbsp; OK, I guess I have Facebook jealousy..in a ...http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10375473nquill@magic1067.com (Nancy Quill)http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10375473Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:24:02 GMTSpring is here, the weather is getting warmer. This is also the time the charitable walks, runs and rides begin, benefiting many worthy causes. It feels so good to participate, knowing we can make a difference in the lives of so many. Let me offer this one, Annette's Climb. It's a climb to Mount Washington's Tuckerman Ravine and honors the memory of Annette Soares, who lost her life at the age of 39, a victim of domestic violence. The climb, held on April 28th this year, is symbolic of the struggle to break the cycle of domestic violence Annette's Climb has taken place each spring to raise money for HAWC, WIT (women in transition) and other programs for women that have been physically abused.&nbsp;Since 2002, this event has supported HAWC (Healing Abuse, Working for Change) and in recent years North Shore Community College&rsquo;s 'Women in Transition&rsquo; program. These ...http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10366300nquill@magic1067.com (Nancy Quill)http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10366300Sun, 01 Apr 2012 16:54:06 GMTWhat a week. It was spring break in our house. No I wasn't on vacation, but I felt like I was on one. Jarrod was home from college for his spring break, that in itself was worth a celebration. We made special dinners, sat outside on our deck and enjoyed the unusually warm March weather. We watched the buds appear on the trees and bushes. And we let our son put electrodes on our heads. WHAT?? Jarrod is a research assistant at his school's cognition and action lab. He asked his dad and me if we would like to participate in a sleep study. Being supportive parents, we agreed. It was quite an experience having to sleep with electrodes attached to different areas of the head and face. As part of the experiment we also were required to trace over various shapes as we looked at them in a mirror. ...http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10363578nquill@magic1067.com (Nancy Quill)http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10363578Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:23:44 GMT&nbsp; I've been going through my mothers things over the last few weeks. She passed away almost a year ago and now my sister and I have the job of taking care of her house and all she accumulated in her many decades here on earth. It's funny how you think you know someone all your life, but then you realize that there was so much more to that person than you even remembered. I knew my mother was a great cake decorator. However, looking through a photo album dedicated to her cakes, I saw just how talented she really was, with intricate detailing just like the pros. Mom liked to write poetry. I came across some poems she wrote as a young girl and they were beautifully written, like a poet of the highest esteem. Doris loved to paint, too. And as we went from room to room, we ...http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10358143nquill@magic1067.com (Nancy Quill)http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10358143Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:22:15 GMTThe Academy Awards have a special place in my heart. Why? Because Roger and I watched it on our second date. After our first date, I asked him if he wanted to come over and watch them with me. How forward of me, I know! I'm glad he accepted. This was when the Oscars were televised at the end of March. I planned to serve chicken enchiladas, a special recipe that a friend suggested and assured me that Roger would instantly fall in love with me if I made it. I guess it worked. We've been together ever since! So each year it's become a tradition. I make the chicken enchiladas and we watch the red carpet arrivals and then the Oscar ceremony. This year was no exception. Here's the recipe: Dice a pound or so of chicken breast, sprinkle with chili powder, celery salt and cilantro and fry in ...http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10353126nquill@magic1067.com (Nancy Quill)http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10353126Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:33:48 GMTI really enjoyed this year's Grammy awards. Previous years have been somewhat of a bore, but this year, the entertainment was stellar. And while the tragic news of Whitney Houston's sudden passing loomed large over the event, I thought the producers and the performers handled the issue rather well. LL Cool J opened the show with a heartfelt prayer. He struck just the right balance of acknowledging the late singer while promising the audience that the show would carry on. And carry on it did with amazing moments. Like Bruno Mars, this guy can entertain! What a presence. And the long awaited return of Adele following throat surgery. She gave a powerful full voice performance of Rolling In The Deep, sounding better than ever. I can only imagine how she must have been feeling on stage! Other artists, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Rihanna, Katy Perry brought their best to the ...http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10349069nquill@magic1067.com (Nancy Quill)http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10349069Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:47:26 GMTSome of the TV sitcoms rolled out their Valentine's Day episodes this past week. I noticed the theme running through a few of them was this. So often, we take the little things we do each day for and with&nbsp;each other for granted. Isn't that ever true? &nbsp; Is your relationship based on the amount of flowers given? The size of a box of chocolates? Or on a surprise getaway weekend to some exotic resort? It's so easy to get wrapped up in trying to find the perfect gift for that one day. But sometimes you have to stop and realize that the things you experience each day in a relationship are many times gifts themselves. &nbsp; While they're not necessarily glamorous acts on their own, things like volunteering to take out the trash, agreeing to run to the store to get medicine or groceries, taking care of the kids ...http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10347356nquill@magic1067.com (Nancy Quill)http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10347356Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:12:58 GMTFriendships can last a lifetime. Even when those friendships lay dormant, they can resurface quickly and unexpectedly. You find yourself picking up where you left off, making you wonder where all the time in between went. &nbsp; When I was in college, I had a friend, Dave Binder. Dave would perform at our school's Rathskeller(we called it &ldquo;The Rat&rdquo;)on folk night. He would often ask me to come up onstage and join him for a song or two. It was one of those things where we just gelled when we sang, our voices blending in perfect harmony. &nbsp; These days, Dave entertains all over the country and in the Caribbean. From time to time he performs a James Taylor tribute concert. He happened to be playing at Showcase Live over the weekend. So I decided to contact him and tell him we wanted to see his show. Well, one thing ...http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10342644nquill@magic1067.com (Nancy Quill)http://www.magic1067.com/inside-magic/personalities/nancy-quill/Blog/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10342644Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:33:39 GMT
