Good to Be Here

.. that's the title of a book just published by a local author, who's also a dear friend.

Judith Barnes, PhD is an educator and entrepreneur .. she's penned a book of beautiful essays about living life. It's inspiring and can brighten your day.

Judy lost her mom to breast cancer a year ago. She was so moved by the strength and dignity of the battle against the disease by Kelly Mulholland, wife of WNYT reporter Mark that she decided to donate the proceeds from the first 500 books to Wave Riders- that's a program sponsored by Hospice to support children who lose a parent. Kelly and Mark have 2 children,, aged 5 and 7.

So give the book a read - feeling good is good for your health - and consider meeting Judy at one of two book signings:
