38 Things I’ve Learned In 38 Years

Well, I’m turning this 38 this weekend. Not quite sure when THAT happened?! I’m pretty sure it was just yesterday that I kissed my husband for the first time at 19 years old while watching lesbians make out at Beaver Lake (a park here in Montreal). But clearly, it’s NOT yesterday. Not even close. I’ve got more wrinkles, more cellulite, and honeys… more wisdom.

Spring Activities Are Almost Here – How Moms Can Stay Organized with Microsoft @Office 365

For those of you who might remember, I became a Spokesperson for Microsoft Office last year. It was thrilling, because I haven’t lived A DAY without Microsoft Office for the past 15 years. So, I was super excited last month to announce that I am also an Ambassador for the NEW Microsoft Office 365, a great new 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!

Everything I Need to Know about Life, I Learned in Prison

Twelve years ago, I accepted a job at a women’s medium/maximum security prison as a horticulture teacher. And if you knew me then, you’d know the closest I’d come to prison (or jail for that matter) was a game of Monopoly. In fact, I could have been the spokesperson for the “So Incredibly Naive It’s Painful” campaign.

Prison is where I worked for two years. Prison is where I learned the true meaning of community. Prison is where I found community and lost it. In fact, everything I need to know about life, I learned in prison.

Happy Passover and a Blogging Break

Hello beautiful ladies!

Just a quick note to wish those celebrating a very Happy Passover. I’m never one to judge what others do in their personal lives, so therefore, I thought this was quite funny.

21 Ways To Stress-Free Living and Uncluttering Your Life For Spring

Winter’s snow melts away, and all the things you have been ignoring in your life, start to present themselves again. Aaah, I forgot about you! Spring is a great time to deal with these things head-on. And that’s not a bad thing– spring is about rebirth, renewal, regeneration.

Leaning In

Chances are, if you are a working woman, or have even turned on the news in the past few days, you’ve probably come across Sheryl Sandberg, COO and second in command at Facebook. She recently wrote a book called Lean In, and there has been a lot of controversy around her book. Yesterday, when Arianna Huffington asked me to contribute my voice to the Huffington Post Women’s community, I was happy to oblige. I have a STRONG opinion in this arena. Already a HuffPo contributor, this was a chance for me to either join the haters and skeptics, or Lean In, and agree with Sheryl Sandberg.
