It’s funny how life works out. Sometimes you jump and the Universe catches you. Sometimes you jump and you fall on your face, but you get up, dust yourself off and try (or jump) again and the Universe catches you.

My career mentor and friend, Jack Daniel, once said … Continue reading The Voice That Speaks Inside: Part Deux
One of my mentor’s in my career and a friend, Jack Daniel, once said to me: “It’s the quality of life that will matter, not the quantity or the career.” His message has stuck with me since then. I hear it quietly in my head over and over. In the words of Gareth Asher, “Gotta get going, gotta get on the road…I’m my packing bags … Continue reading The Voice That Speaks Inside
As Bowie sang, “Ch-ch-changes, just gonna have to be a different man…” and it’s time for me to become not a different woman, but a better and healthier woman. I’ve been wanting to go vegan in the way of food for a while. I will even painfully give up cheese. CHEESE. Meaning GOAT CHEESE. Oh, how I love goat cheese, but alas going vegan in the way of … Continue reading Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Me, the Queen of more hockey & band t-shirts, than one human needs, did what?!?! 33 items for 3 months.

I was tagged in a photo from a friend of mine on Facebook and almost fell out of my seat. Whoa was I big. If you look at the 2010 photo, I am Chubby McChubberson! Damn I ate Kevin’s birthday cake from Nov 2009 and the ice cream and the rest of the damn restaurant apparently until 2010! So that … Continue reading Body Changes
This week was my final week to “act a fool” as my Grandmother would say. I’m tired of being a fat ass and though my friends and co-workers reassure me I am not a fat ass, what I see in the mirror is someone I’m not happy with. So with all the craziness that came with work this week, I decided this week, was my … Continue reading God Gave Me a Brain
I have been in a mental battle with myself lately. The what I should be doing vs the what I should not be doing going at each other like a dog and a cat in battle.
