A Bad Hair Day

12/29/11

I don’t know what I was thinking, but then again, that’s a fairly common occurrence in my forty fifth year on the planet. I suppose I was thinking that it would all go smoothly---that I wouldn’t run into anyone I know---that I could make it back in fifteen minutes. Wrong,...

10/7/10

"Darling, being blonde is simply a matter of time and money."

Allow me to begin at the beginning. I was born in Brooklyn, New York on October 17, 1957. I was named Elvira Robina Mannarino and my parents were Albert and Alessandra. We lived on Herkimer Street off Eastern Parkway in the same brownstone where my father grew up with his ten siblings.

That’s when it hit me. I wasn’t drawn to the blonde women because they were different than I was. They looked, acted, spoke, smelled and walked differently than I did.

The Company of Women

05/11/10

I love being a Woman

I truly enjoy the company of women and I absolutely cherish the fellowship of women who love God, so you can imagine how blessed I am to be afforded the privilege of traveling around the country addressing “soul sisters.” Whether I speak at a weekend retreat, a one day conference, or a dinner banquet—I always marvel at the incredible talents and testimonies of so

Easter in Prison, Part III

04/4/10

"Prisoners? You care about prisoners?....

The conversation I had with Susan Smith that night told me more about myself than about her. I wrestled during that 15-minute encounter and in the weeks that followed.

Easter in Prison, Part II

03/30/10

I spent Easter weekend in Prison

They drove off and I teared up. Italians don’t even eat out Easter weekend, let alone visit prisoners. The relatives just didn’t understand.
