If this doesn’t make you stop, pause, and reassess your priorities and journey on this earth, I’m not sure what will.
I’d love your thought

“Wordy” Wednesday: Game Changing
Wednesday, February 1st, 2012Is TODAY the Most Depressing of the Year? 10 Tips To Get Yourself Out of a Funk
Monday, January 16th, 2012
“Christmas is over, you’ve put on weight, it’s cold out, it’s dark out, your credit card bills are in, you’re not going to get another day off until March, and you’re tired.
You might even be depressed.
If so, you are not alone, especially not today. For today, according to one measure, is Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year.” (Montreal Gazette)
My One Goal for 2012
Friday, December 30th, 2011I’m sitting in the quiet room at the Polar Bear Spa in the Laurentians, where we are vacationing. I am currently alone. I just had a massage. And as I write this blog post on my Ipad, this is my view.
I can’t believe it’s the end of 2011. It seems like life is just whizzing by. I quote Ferris Bueller when I say, “Life moves pretty fast. You don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” But it’s true. In sitting here feeling introspective, I realize that life does move pretty quickly. If we don’t enjoy the moments, or have a little FUN every now and then, well, living becomes just existing, just functioning, and not truly living.
The Cold Hard Truth
Monday, November 14th, 2011By Guest Blogger Bianca Osbourne
Low self-esteem seems to plague the female existence. We are faced with the insurmountable task of being beautiful, successful, sexy and powerful, all while making it look easy. Low self-esteem has been my Achilles heel since I was very young. Growing up, I was chunky with spotted skin, so I worked diligently toward being the class clown. Having my classmates laugh WITH me before they could laugh AT me was an art form I perfected.
Fortunately, time was good to me and I blossomed as I grew up. The baby fat melted away and my skin cleared. All of a sudden, I saw a beautiful woman staring back at me in the mirror. Good looking men approached me from all angles, wanting to be my mate. I was shocked, but reveled in the attention that I had craved as a teenager. Then I met the man whom I thought I would be with forever; he was perfect, he loved me, and I loved him for that. But my old feelings of inadequacy crept in as the relationship grew, and those feelings slowly sabotaged this wonderful relationship, the relationship I wanted so badly; but believed I didn’t deserve.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month And Prevention
Monday, October 3rd, 2011Welcome back! I took a break last Wednesday to honor and respect my Jewish New Year, but I am back! And it’s freezing in Montreal. And it’s October- which always means… Halloween and Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast cancer has unfortunately touched my family. The cause is very near and dear to my heart, and up until I sold my company in 2006, I donated proceeds of our sales to various breast cancer efforts.
Then I had my very own frightening breast cancer scare this year. You were all there for me… (more…)
Are Microwaves Safe?
Monday, September 26th, 2011If you’ve been a reader, this title may seem a little off. It’s not about sex, health, kids, marriage, friendship, career, or anything like that. But, I did promise to cover all the issues that we women sit on the fence about. And wow, am I on the fence here! If you’re a busy WOMAN- single, married, divorced, kids, no kids, most of you own a microwave. In fact, over 90% of American homes have microwave ovens. Not just to reheat a bottle, but what about to reheat a quick leftover dinner? To heat up soup for your daughter’s thermos for school lunches? To cook a lean cuisine, for crying out loud? (I’ve never had a lean cuisine in my life, but you get the point).
I admit, I am guilty. I USE my microwave. Like really use it. Very occasionally to defrost raw meet or poultry if I’ve run out of time. To heat up my son’s cheese bagel for breakfast this morning. To reheat the penne rosée for school lunches last week. I definitely have decreased my microwave use over the years, resorting to the less lazy ways of heating things up (like my toaster oven, or stove top). And I even try to use a plate instead of a plastic splatter tray, but I still use this controversial machine. And I say controversial, because it really has been for many years.
September is National Yoga Awareness Month
Tuesday, September 6th, 2011When I look at how I manage the everyday juggle and grind, there is one thing that keeps me most grounded through it all. There is one thing, that no matter how stressed I am, or how frazzled I may be, that literally transforms my entire aura.
That’s yoga.
