There was so much content at the Hubspot Inbound Marketing Conference, it was really hard deciding which sessions to attend. It was also a fun challenge to figure out how to summarize what I’ve learned. I probably could write a year’s worth of blog posts on what I learned! So the second theme of the […]

Kayaking! Well, that was the answer for me. I love it when a hobby teaches you more than you expected. I knew kayaking was good for my body and my mind, but I’m finding it’s also good for teaching me more life lessons. This time, the lesson is all about balance. Here’s how kayaking has […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]
