Even I as an eternal optimist, am struggling to find hope in these dark times, but I have. Here are a few bright spots for our dark days. 1. Neighbor helping neighbor. I belong to my town’s Facebook group. Our local food pantry had posted a need for food, asking folks to go to the […]
I should know better; if something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Last week, I was perusing Facebook and an ad popped up in my feed. Now normally I ignore ads, but this one caught my eye. It was for free bootcamp sessions at a gym near me. (On a side […]
I pass this sign on my daily walks and I can’t help but laugh. Notice that there is not one, but TWO dessert places: the Dessert Workshop and the Treat Cupcake Bar. A picture is really worth a thousand words. . .
Earlier this month, it was my dear husband’s birthday. Since he has recently been on a walking kick (what better way to work off all those donuts!), I thought I would encourage this healthy new habit by getting him a fitbit as a present. Here’s the story of Mr. Ken and his latest toy. 1. […]
As we are having our 4th big snowstorm in two weeks, I am really, really enjoying my Jessica Smith workouts. Jessica lives and films her workouts in Florida. It is so nice to see palm trees, pretty water views, boats and pelicans. I can pretend that I am somewhere warm. Maybe I should write a […]

I love it because I’ve met so many wonderful people from all around the world. I haven’t traveled abroad much, so it’s especially […]
I love how my blog ideas come to me through my everyday activities. This post came out of a simple question from my husband, “Do you hit “like” for Facebook Fan pages?” My first response was, “No way, I have no interest in big companies and their products. They only want me to “like” their […]
Unless you live in a cave, you’ve heard about Facebook’s IPO on May 18th. To say there’s been a lot of controversy surrounding this is an understatement. The facts: May 18th stock valued at $38.00 per share May 18th Market Value = $100 billion. (yes, that’s a billion, not a million!) This was the second […]
**SPOILER ALERT**This post is not going to be about how and why companies should embrace Facebook ads. It’s written from the perspective of the target audience (me). I know that ads are a ‘necessary evil,’ especially on free websites. I hate ads! They are annoying, irrelevant and in my face. That’s why I use Firefox […]
