Rene Syler Update

Dear Buddies,

Belated Happy Mother's Day greetings. I hope your day was truly special, spent in good health with loved ones.
Don't forget the most important thing you can do for yourself, in this month celebrating mothers, is to make your health a top priority.
Remember to do your monthly breast self exam; schedule an annual mammogram if you're over age 40; and see a doctor or nurse practitioner every year for a clinical breast exam.
It's O-K to put yourself first - so that you can be here to enjoy and care for your loved ones.

I want to update you on another "Buddy", former CBS Early Show anchor Rene Syler. As you know, Rene authored the book "Good Enough Mother" to rave reviews. She sent me this NY POST story about her book moving to new heights on the small screen.


-- Former "Early Show" co- anchor Rene Syler - who also authored "Good Enough Mother" - has inked a deal with Meredith Corp. to join Parents TV, where she'll adapt her book brand to the small screen. Beginning next month, Syler will host "It Moms" (first show: "Traveling With Your Kids"). The deal is a partnership between Parents TV and Syler's company, Goodenoughmother.com. Parents TV airs on Comcast (On Demand) and on parents.tv.--


We wish Rene the very best with her new television deal!!!!
