How I spent my summer vacation

August 7, 2013

15

Ah, summertime. Long sun-filled days, the desire to be outdoors all the time and the slower pace. We weren’t able to take a full-fledged vacation this summer since I don’t want to leave my Mom for more than a few days. That didn’t stop me from enjoying the glorious summer days. I love kayaking more […]

Tea time!

July 31, 2013

37

I’ve been reading a lot about happiness and what makes some people happy and others not. It’s all about how you view your circumstances. I also believe that things happen for a reason. So I have been having some stomach issues, which meant I have to eat a very bland diet. This also meant no […]

What happens when you take a new road?

July 24, 2013

17

I love walking, but since like most people, I’m a creature of habit so I tend to walk the same routes. This past Saturday I decided to take a different path. I went on the other side of the rail road station and found the most delightful country road. To think I’ve lived in this […]

Face your fear

July 17, 2013

24

In my younger days, I was fearless. I went from a small suburban town to living in New York City and I loved every minute of it. Something happened though as I got older. I can’t say it’s because I got wiser; it seems I lost part of my self. The good news is I’m […]

Anatomy of a blog post

July 3, 2013

25

So last week I had a creative block, in spite of having a fun and engaging week. Well, it happens. The easy way out would be just skip my blog post for the week, but I really wanted to keep up the momentum of weekly posts. As I was struggling to finalize last week’s post […]

Random thoughts at a marketing conference

I had a blast at a recent marketing conference in Boston. Why? I love going into the city. I love learning new things, especially about one of my passions, marketing. The thoughts were streaming through my mind the whole day. I thought you all would enjoy seeing how I think. As I’m walking through downtown […]

Change your schedule and change your life

June 12, 2013

24

Being a creature of habit, I love having a set schedule because it keeps me productive and happy. That being said, it’s good to mix things up once in a while. I’m a morning person and I especially love to exercise in the morning. If I had my way, Mr. Ken and would be out […]

Kayaking into the wind

June 5, 2013

Yay, the warm weather is here and kayaking can begin. I love kayaking more than anything. Well, maybe not more than Peeps. We went out kayaking on Memorial Day. It was sunny and the temperature was a perfect 70 degrees. Ah yes, but the wind was pretty fierce. Picture paddling like mad, only you’re moving […]

How to keep the momentum going

May 29, 2013

I’m still glowing from my successful consulting project. I feel energized, happy and confident. My next challenge is to keep this momentum going. How will I do that? I’ve heard that every time you take action, it’s easier to keep going. It’s something to do with the laws of the universe and molecules in motion. […]

Volunteer and help your career

May 22, 2013

11

I am winding down my non-profit volunteer consulting project. I am sad to see it end. I helped a local non-profit figure out a strategic plan for expanding internationally. I really enjoyed my team mates and I just love the client. I did this work because I wanted to give back to the community. We […]
