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 […]

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!

Reflections on the end of summer

September 12, 2012

I’m torn about summer coming to an end. On one hand, I will miss all the hours of daylight. I love getting up early – can we say 4 am?. By the time I’m done with my healthy breakfast at 5 am, it’s already getting light outside. On the other hand, this has been a […]
