Since launching the Get Off The Fence Movement on Wednesday, we have received so many positive messages, calls, emails, tweets and more. I so greatly appreciate all of your support and feedback, and I am taking notes on all your suggestions. This is all brand new to me, and really, what do I know about starting a movement?! I’m reminded of one of my favorite quotes…
It is with anticipation, overwhelm, excitement, a ton of nerves and great hope, that I announce the launch of something that has lived in my heart for a VERY long time.
I will be honest with you today. There’s no fancy PR firm. No marketing pitch prepared. In fact, there’s no big plan. None. Only a seed. Only a spark. This is an infant, coming into the world with very little experience. This baby is small, and my hope is that you will help me raise it. My greatest wish is that you will connect with this Movement, and be inspired to take action in your own life… to get off that fence. To get unstuck and take the leap to thrive.
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.
Oprah has been one of my biggest influences along my wigly-wagly journey.
So, it is with great excitement that I share with YOU, my amazing WomenOnTheFence readers, that I am sharing Oprah with you next week, April 11th in Montreal!! And get this…. I’m sharing Oprah with FIVE LUCKY YOU’S!!
Yup you read right. I am sending 5 lucky random winners to see Oprah live right here in Montreal, April 11th, 2013. The evening at the Bell Centre kicks off 7:30PM.
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 Easter Love Bugs! I am back from a wonderful few days in New York City with the family, and saw this while sipping coffee in bed this morning.
It’s a must share. A must read. And I think, a must follow. Thank you Dana, our most incredible Women On the Fence app developer for sharing this.
And thank you Gary, for such insightful words.
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.
I have no words other than: PLEASE don’t miss this. It’s worthy of your 5 minutes.
I just finished our shoot for the Get Off The Fence Movement video. I am on Cloud 9. I am so proud. I am so excited. My dream for this Movement is so big. Some plans in the works — to interview and showcase stories of other people who have gotten off the fence, and can teach others how to do the same. I also envision GET OFF THE FENCE Speaker Series in major cities– free for the public to attend, whereby attendees leave with their own GET OFF THE FENCE action plans. I hope you will help me share the Movement when it launches.
I haven’t checked in since last week, as my kids are on Winter Break this week, and I have been trying to spend some good quality time with them. Good quality time that came to a screeeeeching halt on Monday. I’ll spare you the projectile vomit details that came two hours after my 9-year-old son hit his head on an ice slide after skiing on Monday.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
