This is the face of a beautiful confident woman.  She is speaking in Vancouver this week, as part of the Unique Lives & Experiences program.  I am taking one of my oldest girlfriends and I am so excited it isn't even funny. Talk about a woman who Owns Her Beauty.  She embraces life and makes no [...]

I thought about calling this What I Drove, but there is so much more to the weekend in Victoria for the Breathe Now conference than the cute little car I drove (more on that later). Earlier this month, before the horrible stomach bug hit, I attended (and spoke at) the Breathe Now conference in Victoria.  [...]

I'm going to be speaking at the Breathe Now conference in Victoria on April 15th.  I loved the idea behind the "Owning Your Beauty" panel at Blogher, and their edict to "Own Your Beauty. Change the Conversation. Pass it On." that I have put together a similar discussion for Breathe Now. Society (and the media) is constantly telling [...]

It is leap year, and this year instead of just celebrating the extra day, you can also make a stop against bullying. Next Wednesday, February 29th is Pink Shirt Day. You don't need to have school age children to make a statement against bullying. Bullying doesn't just take place in the school yard, it happens [...]

It is January.  It is cold. It is rainy (for those of us in Vancouver).

Today I got an hour to drop into the One of a Kind Show for a quick peek around. Just enough time to visit some of my favourite local vendors and check out a few new ones. If you are looking for unique holiday gifts or a great shopping trip with some friends the One [...]

Back to my theme of locals that I love this fall. Nicole Bridger has been a favorite of mine for some time. She designs socially conscious and versatile clothing. She is usually THE draw for me each season at Eco Fashion Week. But Nicole also hosts a smaller fashion show, with her some of her [...]

This upcoming Saturday, November 5th is the Women in Leadership Foundation's Annual Gala. The evening celebrates the 10th Anniversary of WIL and 10 years of inspiring and celebrating success. I will be attending with my very chic date Alexis from Wave the Stick.   Yup the same Alexis who drove with me on my TraverseTrip to [...]

Over the summer most of the networking events take a break, and then come back in a flurry in the fall.  And because so many people are dealing with back-to-school, back-to-work and general back to rain in early September, everyone plans those events for late September. And the third week in September in particular. I [...]

This upcoming Sunday I am going to be participating in Run for the Cure in Vancouver.  To be honest, I'll be walking 5km for the cure, because my Achilles tendonitis doesn't like running.   And I won't be alone, I'm running/walking on the Bloggers for Boobies team with 9 other awesome bloggers. Some who I know [...]
