Olympic Metal Standings – Winter 2010

Date February 15, 2010

The Olympics have always been one of my favorite events to watch. This year is proving to be no exception. The guts, sweat, tears and pure heart of these athletes once again has me moved and cheering loudly from my sofa. Although Canada’s got my biggest support (I am Canadian, eh?), I’m so proud of [...]

European Vacation

Date December 2, 2009

I’m just back today from a 12 day whirlwind trip to Vienna and Copenhagen, to attend my sister-in-law’s wedding. It was a ton of fun but I’m really happy to be home too. It’s amazing how quickly you can get used to the 6 hour time change and how slowly it takes to get your [...]

A friend of mine sent me this and I just couldn’t resist sharing. How fun!  

Asking for Help: It’s is not a sign of weakness

Date March 11, 2009

Sometimes it’s difficult to to give up control. I get that. I have those issues myself sometimes. But for the health of your business and yourself, not to mention the ability to kick your business up a notch, you need to start thinking about outsourcing some of the items that are bogging you down – those that [...]

Is Your Glass Half Full?

Date July 24, 2008

It’s all about attitude isn’t it? Everything we do in our daily life relies on our attitude. My washer broke on me after only 3 years (it seems everything around here has  a 3 year lifespan these days!) and I had to call a repairman. Well, George was his name, and I can’t even describe [...]

Back From California & Planning the Next Vacation!

Date May 21, 2008

Touring California with my Mom (Hollywood and San Francisco) was a blast but six days is hardly enough to recharge the batteries. Fortunately, I’m pretty spoiled these days and my sweetie and I are planning a 3 to 4 week driving holiday through the Northwestern states and through Canada (Michigan, Wisconsin, Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, [...]

Rest & Regroup, Recharge and Relax

Date May 10, 2008

I’ll be climbing onto a jet plane very early tomorrow morning and heading down to California – Hollywood and San Francisco, for some R&R and cherished time with my mom. We love to spend time together and travel much the same as each other. We love to be the tacky tourists and take all the [...]

What’s it like in your little corner of the world?

Date March 8, 2008

A beautiful little town with a population of 16,000 and counting, it’s one of Ontario’s fastest growing towns and boasts the worlds longest fresh water beach. Its close proximity to the ‘big city’ (about 2 hours northwest of Toronto) make it a long-time favorite summer destination for many city folk. Located on Georgian Bay which is [...]

Facebook’s finally sucked me in…

Date March 8, 2008

Well, friends have been bugging me for quite some time to get onto Facebook but I’ve been resisting thinking that it was a great idea for those in high school and college but my IREAA gang finally got to me. Being a co-founder, I had to give in and join as my partners started an [...]
