Donate $11.00 in honor of Women On The Fence’s 1 year anniversary to The Montreal Children’s Hospital. It’s Official: The start of construction of the NEW Children’s Hospital has begun!
The vision will make Montreal home to the most state-of-the-art pediatric hospital in North America, embodying the very best that modern medicine has to offer.
But then during our round, we started hearing from other people about the attacks. That these plane crashes were no accident. I remember the hair standing up on my arms and tears flowing from my eyes. Four crashes– 2 into the World Trade Towers, one into the Pentagon, and one into the middle of a field, thanks to many brave people on board that flight including Todd Beamer (do you remember his story- “Let’s roll!”?)
Welcome back after a nice long Labor Day Weekend. For many of you, this morning marked the beginning of some mommy “me-time” if your kids headed back to school. It’s always a time of mixed emotions… anxiety and nerves coupled with joy and relief that everyone is getting back to the regularly scheduled routine. For me, it just all feels so sudden. Last week, it was 100 degrees in Montreal, and now you can really feel fall in the air. The tree across the street from me has already begun to change colors.
So today, the point of the Blog is to say, no matter what your perception of success is, I think we are ALL successful in our own way. We all make this world go around… every single one of us. And you will meet all types as you proceed through your journey… nice, kind, evil, snobby, showy, humble, caring, selfish, loving. But it is YOUR duty to make your time on earth count, and enjoy what you DO have to the fullest, without letting your emotions get in the way. So the next time someone drives by in that fancy car, regardless if they got it because it was handed to them, or if they worked their butt off for it, honor their achievements. The true perception of success is to honor your own talent and beauty and to never compare.
Does this Wordless Wednesday really require any explanation? I think not.

I have pulled my hair out 50 times over school lunches, and I’m only one week into school!
My big son’s lunch box comes home heavier than it was sent. He eats nothing. I’m done.
So today, for all lunch mother warriors like me, can you PLEASE suggest some easy, healthy and fun snacks and lunches your kids are enjoying.
Misery loves company.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
