Why I love Sundays

March 6, 2013

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. It is a time to step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Why I love Sundays: 1. I love spending an hour in church. Seeing the sun come streaming in through the stained glass windows feeds my soul. Hearing the soaring notes of the organ […]

What’s in a name?

February 20, 2013

For marketing and branding, a good name is key. The name of a product, service or company should reflect the essence of it. As a marketing person, I should be quite creative right? This is true most of the time, but I’m stuck on thinking of a catchy name for my new fitness and health […]

Bring on the snow!

February 13, 2013

Okay, so my hip is only marginallly better. But that doesn’t mean I can’t be fit and strong. This was brought home to me during the recent blizzard, Nemo. All told, we got about 30 inches of snow. My dear husband’s snow blower wasn’t powerful enough to plow through this, so guess who was out […]

Technology – love it or hate it?

February 6, 2013

I personally have a love/hate relationship with technology. I love technology because: I’ve met some amazing people, who I wouldn’t have met otherwise. A special shout out to Bindu, Tony and Susan! I can workout where ever I want. Since I’ve been spending a lot of time over at my Mom’s, it’s wonderful that all […]

Just try it – lessons learned

January 30, 2013

How many times do we miss opportunities because of preconceived notions? If you’ve been reading my blog, you know I love exercise. A recent experience made me think twice about my assumptions. I learned some valuable lessons. I just love it when exercise teaches me about life. Because of my ongoing hip problems, I am […]

A Mayan harvest adventure

January 15, 2013

It’s a new year and time to tune up my eating habits. My goal this year is to try one new food each week. When I saw this Kashi(R) frozen meal in the supermarket, it reminded me of sesame chicken from my favorite Chinese restaurant. Okay, so the sesame chicken isn’t the healthiest thing, but […]

My 2012 blogging in review

January 10, 2013

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for my blog. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 5,700 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 10 years to get […]

Lessons learned from chia seeds and tart cherries

October 10, 2012

Am I food obsessed? It would appear so since my last few blog posts have been about food. As I am slowly recovering from my hip injury, I am trying like heck to maintain my fitness level. A big part of fitness is eating right. My two newest finds are chia seeds and tart cherries. […]

A new love

October 4, 2012

I have a new love. My dear husband doesn’t have to worry though, because it’s a store. I’m currently in love with Whole Foods. I still love Trader Joe’s, since they do tend to be cheaper. But, Whole Foods is a nicer store. Let’s be honest, Trader Joe’s has a funny smell. It’s not that […]

Are you for real?

September 19, 2012

It took me until my 40’s to be real. Up until then, I was following what I thought I “should” be doing. Now I follow my heart. And you know what? I’m happier and more successful. It’s also about being authentic. We keep hearing that for social media to be effective, you must be authentic. […]
