How I spent my September

October 8, 2014

A slightly different twist than “How I spent my summer vacation.” Well you all know how I spent my summer – kayaking and eating Blizzards from the Dairy Queen. Now it’s time to buckle down and get serious. Fall is my favorite time of year; I have so much energy because of the clear, crisp […]

How to lose a customer in 3 easy steps

October 1, 2014

It’s not enough to have polite and nice people doing customer service. There should also be follow-through and results. A recent experience with our cable company brought this point home to me. Everyone loves to hate their cable company. I don’t think there is any cable company that is known for even mediocre service. We […]

Why I love fall

I love Fall! I love everything about it! As much as I would love to spend my days kayaking and hiking and taking in all the beauty of the season, I do want to focus on more serious things too. Fall is also an excellent time to shake up your marketing. Here’s what I love […]

How do you know when it’s time for a change?

September 17, 2014

Change is hard and it is scary. But it can also be exhilarating. I got to thinking about this as I change my exercise rotation. I’ve had a very successful run at doing barre (ballet-type) exercises. I think it’s time for a change though and so I’ve been doing P90X3. (Which stands for Power 90 […]

The little plant that could

September 10, 2014

The driveway is pavement and the garage floor is concrete. There is the smallest space where they meet. The sun beats down on this every day. There must be all of a teaspoon of soil in the space. Yet, a little seed landed here took root. The portulaca is flourishing. Who would have thought? Seeing […]

Is it luck or is it something else?

I’ll admit it, I am envious of people I consider to be lucky. Everything seems to go their way. They have the perfect job, the perfect family and the perfect life. Well, not really, since you never know what other people are facing. I have started using Facebook to follow and interact with my favorite […]

Rocks under the water

August 20, 2014

We’ve had an awesome kayaking season this year; the weather has been great and the temperatures very comfortable. The cooler temperatures are a very good thing since I wear long sleeved SPF-50 shirts and they can be pretty uncomfortable when it gets hotter. We’ve mainly kayaked on the Charles River. Every time we go there, […]

More adventures in healthy eating

August 6, 2014

I am inspired by this healthy eating kick. So I went to Trader Joes and bought: – avocado – sea salt – refried beans – organic spinach – organic low fat yogurt. I have a half-baked idea that I will blend all of these items together to make a healthy something. 1. Avocado. Avocado has […]

I am on a constant quest to eat healthy. Alas, it is not easy, given the siren call of Dairy Queen Blizzards and my new favorite indulgence, salted caramel frozen yogurt. But I try. I am excited to receive some pretty interesting food products for review on Amazon. I am having a blast trying them […]

The lazy days of summer are upon us. I got to thinking about the summer and how I love it. Here’s why I love summer: 1. Many hours of daylight. I am a morning person and I love to exercise in the morning. That being said, it sure is hard to get up at 4:30 […]
