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 […]

Random thoughts at a marketing conference

June 19, 2013

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

11

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 […]

Finding joy in simple things

May 15, 2013

14

We’ve all heard it said that the simple things are the best. I’m finding this to be true more and more. We all are busy; we all are overwhelmed by technology. It’s time to stop, take a deep breath and look around you. Find the beauty and peace in your surroundings and inside you. So […]

Having fun at Costco

May 8, 2013

4

I normally don’t like grocery shopping. It’s a chore and it’s annoying and tiring. I have now found that I love going to Costco. For my international friends, Costco is a large warehouse club. Everything is sold in BIG quantities; you can’t just go in and buy a 1 ounce bag of M & M’s […]

Insanity workouts – Nancy’s excellent adventure

April 24, 2013

With all the sadness and terror last week, I thought we could do with some light hearted postings. I am going to tell you about my experience doing Beachbody’s Insanity (R) program. As the name implies, this is one tough program. Picture Army boot camp intensified. Only a true exercise fanatic could love something like […]
