Wordless Wednesday: First Day on the Job

Wednesday, January 30th, 2013

Butterflies in the green room

If you follow on Facebook or Twitter, perhaps you read the announcement I made last Friday. After an audition a few weeks ago, I can now proudly say I am the Weekly Parenting Correspondent on the new Morning Show on Global TV (Sorry US friends, it’s Canadian tv). ;)  I nervously awaited the news, and it came last Friday at 5PM.

The new Morning News show kicked off this week, and my first segment on How To Become a Mompreneur in 2013 aired live this morning at 8:40am (segments will be Wednesdays at 8:40am. I will post video links on Facebook and Twitter as I have them).

Today’s segment:

WordY Wednesday: The First Three Words

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013

I saw this, and went absolutely crazy for it.

My 3 words: love, intelligence, freedom.

What are YOUR words? Share them below. What an incredible exercise in perception.

Wisdom Wednesday: Why Me? Why NOT Me?

Wednesday, November 28th, 2012

My DVR is programmed to record 60 Minutes every Sunday night. Sundays at 7PM, as it turns out, are never a good time to watch live, so I record it to watch at a more convenient time.

Yesterday I was feeling a little sluggish, so I got into bed at 3pm for a little 30 minute break before carpool. I turned on 60 Minutes.

I was blown away. I urge you to watch this from start to finish. It will be 10 minutes of your time well spent.

But what got me the most, what made the hairs on my arm stand up, was the part specifically from 1:10 – 2:30. Ed Bradley asks Craig Kielburger, founder of Free The Children, then only a child: Why you? Why would Craig start a movement at 12 years old to free child slaves, and encourage young people to achieve their fullest potential as agents of change? A 12 year old Craig looks around the room and answers, “Why me? Why NOT me?”

Lance Armstrong: The Fall From Grace

Wednesday, October 17th, 2012

I awoke to these headlines: Lance Armstrong Stepping Down as chairman of Livestrong charity.

My reaction: shock and sadness, if I will be honest.

“Lance Armstrong is stepping down as chairman of the Livestrong cancer charity he founded in 1997 after recovering from the disease, a spokeswoman for the organization confirmed .

Wordless Wednesday: Would Love Your Help…

Wednesday, July 11th, 2012

Rapunzel here! After yesterday’s ”YIKES” post, I have since let down my hair. I had a girl’s night last night, and the conversation, coupled with a few drinks, a guy sitting next to us with a “murse” (man purse), and gut-busting laughter did me good. After all, it isn’t how far you fall, it’s how quickly you get back up. I can thank my mother for teaching me about resilience.

So today, I’d really love your help. You ladies were the ones who chose the WomenOnTheFence new logo and it will be you who will choose the top banner picture for my new site, www.Erica-Diamond.com. These photos below are from a shoot, and we narrowed them down to 4 for the new site.

Blogging as you know, is not the only thing I do. As an Entrepreneur and Success Coach, I have a Business Startup Book for women, I am a Keynote Speaker, I have a Coaching Business, I am a Brand Ambassador, and so I thought I would give my business side, its own website. Simple, clean. I therefore need a picture for the top banner and I would love your thoughts. The tagline to the new site is “Erica Diamond Inspiring Success.” If you could kindly write your choice below 1,2,3, or 4, I really appreciate your advice. What picture best depicts Erica Diamond, Success Coach?

Wordless Wednesday: WOULD YOU DO THIS?

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012

So, today I’d like to know if you think I need my head examined… if you think I’m Fifty Shades of CRAZY!

This weekend is Grand Prix weekend in Montreal. I gotta say, it’s one of my favorite weekends. The city ignites with action, celebs, hot nights, and fun. A few weeks ago, my husband received two tickets for this Saturday night, to a “special and extravagant” evening. Yes, it’s about $1500 to eat dinner a few hundred feet off the ground, and it’s called “DINNER IN THE SKY.” Shit, I’m woozy just writing it.

So as it stands now, we are supposed to have dinner this Saturday night suspended in the air, overlooking the beautiful city. Check out these photos.
