Fall and Winter is the perfect time to cozy up wth a big blanket, a warm cup of tea, and a great book.
On yesterday’s Global TV segment, I shared six great winter reads. I tried to suggest a little something for everyone – memoir, funny, thriller, autobiographies…
Here is the segment on some great fall and winter reads.
Happy #GivingTuesday, Ladies! In case you didn’t know, #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.

Now back to today’s post.
I was perusing through Instagram yesterday, and I stumbled upon something that really spoke to me. My friend and fellow Montreal working mom, Maddy K shared the quote above, Don’t Let The World Define You, and then underneath, this text:
If you’ve been perched on the fence getting splinters, unable to make a decision, paralyzed and afraid to take the jump toward your happiness, I am coming for you. Fall symbolizes the shedding and ridding ourselves of the old, and beginning of the new cycle. Fall is a perfect time to make plans.
Here are 5 Steps To Get Off The Fence and Get Unstuck this fall. It’s time to make a plan to get out of a rut and thriving:
Hello, it’s been a week since I’ve been here. HOW YOU DOIN’?
Judging by the many I’ve been following on social media, not so good.
Last week, I promised to share what I’ve been up to. But first, I need to get the election off my chest. Therefore, to catch you up, today will be one big BRAIN DUMP.
My feelings in my social media updates this morning:
This is what Americans wanted – CHANGE. We now have to get over the shock, accept this new reality and pray that this guy can assemble a good entourage. Praying for a great America.
Hola, Happy Hump Day, AKA Wisdom Wednesday.
I have lots to tell you, but I will preserve my strength and share all next week. Come back next week, please. 😉
But today, I have a question for you, and I’d like you to think long and hard about it, and answer yourself honestly.
ARE YOU A BLAMER?
Work-life balance is something many of us strive for, but it’s often hard to know if we’ve made it there. Are we balanced? Can we juggle career and our responsibilities at home, giving them both the love and attention they require?
Yesterday on Global TV, I shared some awesome apps that can help us bring calm and balance into our lives. You might wonder how tech and balance can co-exist, but they most certainly can. HAPPINESS TAKES WORK, LADIES. IT TAKES WORK TO THRIVE.
Yesterday, we celebrated the 7th anniversary of a blog that was born out of feeling stuck, on the fence, alone, confused, and wanting to create a space for women to get inspired, get off the fence, grow, succeed and thrive. You have made that happen. I am grateful for this community who has stood by me in my darkest hours, my greatest triumphs, and given me a safe place to be authentic myself. You have also helped each other, and inspired each other into action. Never underestimate the power of a few simple words on a page.
Been thinking a lot about this lately.
How many people can actually say what they want out loud? Like REALLY want? It takes a lot of guts, a lot of intuition, and a lot of working on yourself. But when you say what you want and what you need OUT LOUD- it becomes something tactile. It becomes something to work towards. It becomes a reason to get up in the morning. I dare you to declare what you want. In fact, I dare you to tell me. Email me at [email protected] – I would love to hear what you really want for yourself in your life. It’s an exercise in manifesting your dreams and happiness.
Happy Wisdom Wednesday.
This post is based on a talk I presented for my colleagues at InkHouse, the PR agency where I work, on August 11, 2016.
In the spring, I received an email in my inbox from our CEO and co-founder inviting us to present a talk (and hone our presentation skills) with our colleagues as the audience. Please submit a topic, it said, by this date. Uninspired, I let the deadline slip by.
“Did you submit a topic?” was the question of the day. I hadn’t and that felt fine to me.
The day after submissions were due, this showed up in my early morning Twitter feed:
HADRY, the Ultimate NEW Fashion Accessory to SPARE YOUR HAIR in the Sun and Water, debuted on THE VIEW yesterday!
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
