November 7th Is #GetItDone Day Plus a CONTEST!

For those of you who might remember, I became a Microsoft Office Brand Ambassador last year. It was thrilling, because I haven’t lived A DAY without Microsoft Office for the past 15 years. So, I’m super excited to announce that I am continuing my partnership again this year as an Office Champion for Microsoft Office 365, an amazing offering for women on the go like you and me.

Perhaps you have been using Microsoft Office like me for many years, or perhaps you’re just getting started. Yup, as a businesswoman and mom, these are some powerful and useful programs I simply cannot live without. Yes, I run Office on my Mac now, so Mac or PC, you’re covered!

Wordless Wednesday: Meeting The “Real” Sandra Bullock

I am still so inspired from an incredible evening last night with Leigh Anne Tuohy. If that name doesn’t ring a bell, perhaps you might remember Sandra Bullock’s Oscar-winning performance as Leigh Anne Tuohy in the movie The Blindside. Leigh Anne came to Montreal to speak to 800 Jewish women for our yearly event called Choices. I was fortunate enough to chair this event a few years ago, and it’s one of my favorite evenings of the year. Each year, we bring in a different woman who has had to make brave choices in her life… we have seen Marlee Matlin, and many other inspirational women.

The Sobering Reality

“I observe that many people seek happiness “out there.” They imagine it will come to them if they get a raise, a new car, a new lover, or something else they want but do not have. My own experience, repeated many times, is that the actual reward of getting and having, is usually much less than the one imagined.” ~Dr. Andrew Weil

To Marry For Love or Money?

We’ve all seen ’em in our communities. The girl who marries not for love, nor companionship, nor even looks for that matter. It’s the woman who marries for money. Hello, remember Anna Nicole Smith?

Overcoming Body Image Issues

I moved to Los Angeles from Seattle ten years ago with a very mediocre body image. If I exercised and ate right, I felt better. I never had a six pack or anything hard core like that, but I still thought I looked okay. Then, when I arrived in Los Angeles (otherwise known as Lala Land) and started pursuing acting, the way I ‘felt’ wasn’t gonna cut it according to my agents and manager.

Wisdom Wednesday with Jason Derulo

So, I experienced star-struckness (okay I know that’s not a word) this morning. But we LOVE music artist Jason Derulo in our house. We play his songs all the time (especially Ridin’ Solo, Don’t Wanna Go Home, and In My Head), and my kids know all the words. So when I got word last night that his live TV segment was going to air right after mine, I admit, I got excited!

So, You Wanna Become An Entrepreneur?

Maybe you’re struggling with work life balance and craving more flexibility in your schedule. Maybe you have an idea you want to put forth into the world. Maybe your kids are now in school full time and you are wrestling with the idea of starting your own business. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

Well, I have a few more questions for you:

Do you wake up Monday morning and wish it were Friday already?
Are you tired of getting a paycheck for doing something you hate?
Are you a stay-at-home mom who is antsy to finally do something for herself while raising her kids?
Are you a professional who is looking to change career paths entirely?
Are you burning out in the corporate world?
Have you ever thought of turning your hobby into a career?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you just may be ready to get off the fence and START YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

So, I’ve never done this one before… written a post for the MEN. But, most of fabulous women here in our community have men in their lives, so I wanted to share the men’s fall fashion trends as well (since I already shared the women’s fall fashion trends). I’m trying to be diplomatic here. 😉

So, if you’re trying to get your man to perhaps, be a little more stylish, check out the fall trends and must-haves for MEN. All of this beautiful fashion is from LE CHÂTEAU, the amazing apparel company who dresses me each week for my Global TV segments.
