C’mon!! Are we ladies REALLY that difficult to understand? I’m on the fence here.

Wordless Wednesday: Understanding Women
Wednesday, September 28th, 2011Time Management Tips: Following Through with Commitments on Limited Time
Thursday, September 22nd, 2011By Guest Blogger Melissa Foster
If you’re like me, your To-do list is longer than the day is long. Every morning I wake up and wonder how on earth I’m going to get everything done. Although four of my six kids (yes SIX kids) are now college age, for many years I was navigating six children’s schedules, my marriage, my writing career, and trying to maintain friendships. Needless to say, life was a tad hectic.
I’ve come up with a few tricks of the trade to manage my time, meet my commitments, and not lose myself in the process.
Here we go! Let’s cut right to the chase… (more…)
Wordless Wednesday: The Giving Basket
Tuesday, September 6th, 2011Right now, I am working the Ford of assembly lines. You see, I am co-chairing an event next week, called Choices, that gathers 800 women strong. It’s an evening where 800 Montreal women assemble in one room, to be together, to talk, to eat, and to listen to an inspirational woman speak about her life Choices, and how those choices have impacted who she is today.
Last year we were blessed with the trailblazing Marlee Matlin. This year will be just as fabulous.
But back to assembly lines… Instead of flower centerpieces that look very beautiful, but can be wasteful at the end of the evening, we are creating “The Giving Basket.” On the center of each table, will be a beautiful basket filled with products ready to be donated to families in need. What a brilliant concept.
So today I work proudly to assemble the most beautiful centerpieces ever. I thank the donors and ‘givers’ who helped make our “Giving Basket” so special and plentiful. And I thank all the volunteers who came out today, and helped make a difference. Sometimes giving of ourselves can be difficult- giving of our time, of our resources, of our money. But no act of giving is too small. You just might change someone’s life.
WomenOnTheFence.com Launches New Section: Erica’s Favorite Things
Tuesday, August 30th, 2011I am thrilled to kick off a brand new section to our site today… ERICA’S FAVORITE THINGS!
When I look at my life, there are so many things that I can’t live without, that help me thrive and multi-task with greater ease. The new section will be just for that… my favorites! It’s about time. 
It will be a section of great brands I love, products YOU have turned me onto, contests, giveaways, and more to discover. This section is for YOU.
So when Dannon approached me to help them spread the word about the launch of their new Activia French and Greek yogurts, I was excited to do so. How natural? IT’S MY EVERY MORNING BREAKFAST! And who better to kick off the new Erica’s Favorite Things than Dannon yogurt… definitely one of my favorite things!
Wordless Wednesday: Off The Fence in Maine
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011So my husband cannot believe that I haven’t checked in while on vacation. “Don’t you want to write a post?” he asked me.
But the truth is, beside some Twitter and Facebook updates, I have been resting my fingertips. And my brain. And just enjoying my time with my family. You never get these moments back, so I have been seizing them.
We are at the beach in Maine. I have surrendered to cottage cheese thighs, loads of ice cream, fries and wine daily, tons of New England clam chowder (my all time favorite) and lotsa lobster. I’m feeling fat and happy and free. And oh how great it feels.
So to my husband who can’t believe I haven’t written, I leave you only with a Wordless Wednesday. I think it depicts my head space in the most perfect of ways.
A Hump Day Chuckle
Wednesday, June 29th, 2011No Wordless Wednesday today. No Wisdom Wednesday today. Instead, let’s laugh together, shall we? 
Two little old ladies, Dorace & Jackie were sitting on a park bench outside the local town hall where a flower show was in progress.
The short one, Jackie leaned over and said, “Life is so boring. We never have any fun any more. For $10.00 I’d take my clothes off and streak through that stupid, boring flower show!”
Joy, Despair, Hope and Healing
Monday, June 6th, 2011By Guest Blogger Michelle Walter
Four years ago, if someone would have told me that I would become addicted to narcotics, I would have laughed at them.
My story is a story of joy, despair, hope and healing…
I had been an RN for 14 years, mostly in the ICU. Exposed to narcotics on a daily basis, never once did I have an issue. I had a wonderful life. A loving husband, kids and family. A strong church family. My life was full of joy. I loved my job, my career, my family, my entire life. Then, my world got turned upside down.
My mom and I were not only mother and daughter, but also best friends. We either talked or saw each other daily. We had so many of the same interests and she was an all around wonderful woman. She also became an awesome grandma after I had my two boys.
