Happy Victoria Day my fellow Canadians!
A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience; with a raised glass of water. Everyone knew that she was going to ask the ultimate question, “Half empty or half full?” But she fooled them all… “How heavy is this glass of water?” she inquired with a smile.
At 30 years old, I left the job I loved. I had fought long and hard to win my role in the ABC News Political Unit covering presidential politics. I worked for a boss I respected and with colleagues I loved. News was my mother tongue, and I had a privileged perch covering public policy and just about anything political I wished. There was no reason to leave.
Except this nagging thought that kept attacking me: What will you do if you are still doing this 10 years from now? Will that be enough?
I knew it was not.
I’m off to New Orleans tomorrow to speak at a phenomenal conference, Mom 2.0 Summit. Power Moms, big brands, The Ritz Carlton, should be A BLAST!!

RIP, Elizabeth Taylor. A true icon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life in pictures… Elizabeth Taylor, 79, gone…
Pssst…. It’s me– Miss Slacker!
Took the morning, ‘tout pour moi, chez le spa’ for a welcomed change.
I’m now sitting alone, downtown, having lunch, at a cool place hubby suggested, Ipad, goat cheese & wild mushroom grilled panini with a yummy tomato purée soup.
In heaven.
“Me-time” is definitely underrated.
Gotta run!
Today is an amazing day for women around the world. Today is OUR day. The day where we make noise, where we fight for our rights as women– to end hunger, end poverty, end domestic violence, fight for gender equality and rally around each other as women. Today is the 100th anniversary of this kinda day.
In thinking how I would honor it, I had a few ideas. But in the end, the ordinary woman won. Today, at Women On The Fence, we are honoring ordinary women who have done extraordinary things.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
