RSSBook Review : Play Like A Man Win Like A Woman
August 22, 2008
-->The traditional, male way of doing business is not better than ours. Nor is it worse. It may be out-dated. It may not be productive or imaginative from a woman’s perspective. In fact, it may often be ethically and morally wrong. It is still undeniably real and it is a language that women need some functional understanding of to leverage the male corporate establishment.

August 14, 2008
So the house is expected to look a certain way and it’s up to you to get it that way? So many of us have designated ourselves as the sole cleaners of our homes. Everyone else is reading or interacting with a screen while we haven’t sat down for two hours, trying to get laundry/lunches/more laundry looked after.

Did any of you have a chance to read the Beauty Bulletin dated June 26, 2008 from Paula’s Choice? The Beauty Bulletins are an easy to stay up to date on special promotions and the latest reviews. In this edition, Paula takes a departure from her product and consumer focused topics to tell a personal anecdote from her past. I LOVED this story.

V.1 of this article was written 8 months ago. I’ve changed it a little because I used a picture that didn’t belong to me. Back then, I didn’t understand copyright regulations on the internet. I took the picture down of course. I took down the entire article. It was a chance to think about what I wrote again. I am more certain than ever that what is written below is correct.
Back in 1981, Carole Jackson wrote a great book called Color Me Beautiful. This is an amazing book. The information contained on those pages is still right on.
Book Review : Cooking With Foods That Fight Cancer
June 11, 2008
While it’s true that some cancers can be cured nowadays, it still must figure among the most dreaded diagnoses. In Canada, 400 people are told they have cancer each day. Can you imagine being one of them?
Not a week goes by that I don’t have to tell an owner that their pet has cancer. Dogs get it a lot, especially the bigger breeds. Seeing the devastation in the family and the deterioration in the animal as this sickness claims its life makes me very aware of the hideous misery of it.
FEAR, FAILURE, AND THE VOICE OF WISDOM
May 3, 2008
In my years of working with women investors I have come to appreciate our ability to acknowledge and manage complex and intense emotion. Does this sound like the words of a psychologist or a financial advisor? I believe that you cannot advise people about their wealth and the market place without a strong understanding of human motivation and behaviour. This will become quite evident as we enter 2008 and experience periods of volatility.

April 15, 2008
I have given up hope of finding a drinkable green tea in a bag. The flavor variations are “Wet Straw Juice” right on down to “The Shivers” and “I Can No Longer Suppress My Gag Reflex”. Back in the article Matcha Tea, I was struggling with the same problems.
Need an answer? Ask a woman.
My good friend Gina provided me with bag of loose leaf Gyokuro Tea. Hope resurrected.

April 11, 2008
I have found that when you are going to confront the husband about whatever it might be, it is useful to have a strategy. My strategy is this: “I have decided that I do too much of the crap work in this house. I have also decided that it is now your job to take care of the garbage and recycle. I am no longer doing this job whether you do it or not”.

April 6, 2008
I found it difficult to get excited about this product. I tried to be excited because EL has made some great foundations. The original Double Wear foundation was too heavy for me, too mask-like. The idea of a lighter application with durable wear on oily skin, in case warmer weather ever arrives, was appealing.

April 4, 2008
Embarking on the unknown road that will lead to success is not daunting. Not knowing what form that success might take is not demoralizing either. The real fear, the only fear, for me, lies in the event that I will walk this road to find that it leads nowhere.
Part of me fundamentally believes that that is not possible. My other part, hopefully a smaller size than the first, is not so sure. Though my intention is to shape my own future, rather than just react to the things that might happen to me, I’m not always operating at full intentional power.
