Well, there are some people who do camp during the winter months, and some people who I know might like to (for instance, my husband), but that’s just not my thing. And truth be told, I am really not “camping” in December, but it feels pretty close to it. You see, […]

Before we begin, let’s distinguish between a traveller and a tourist. A tourist is someone who is intent on seeing the attractions (usually the ‘must-see’ attractions) without giving much thought to what they are going to see.

Cruising at Christmas became our family tradition. It was such a magical experience for our family that I wholeheartedly believed in Santa Claus for a long time. Our Christmas presents would magically appear on our beds Christmas morning, and then the bigger presents that Father Christmas couldn’t bring on a cruise would be left at […]

I am speaking at the Bridges to Better Business event for the Small Business Week in Lindsay, ON. The topic? Return on Investment. Yippee! Right up my alley! I will be speaking about the importance of connecting with someone, in order to keep you top of mind, so when they pick up the phone or […]

David Letterman has a funny segment in his show titled “Didn’t see that coming“, and usually the joke is about something that was bound to happen based on an individual’s prior actions. One of the things I speak to all of my clients about is critical illness insurance because the majority of the people you […]

It’s October 1st and Thanksgiving will soon be around the corner. I don’t know about you, but every year in my family, the question, “so what are you thankful for this year?” gets asked. My usual response is that I am thankful for my family, my husband, my son and yes, even my feisty cat. I am […]
