This past Friday, I attended a Bridging The Gap conference at East Wind in Wading River, NY. Despite my hatred for crowds and other social gatherings, I always go because it beats driving 30 miles one way to work, I get paid to go, the food is awesome, and it keeps me out of the … Continue reading The Conference
Change Your Reality With Your Thoughts
Earlier this week, my dear friend Sharon shared a video with me, and I will post a link at the bottom. I was watching it whilst I was waiting at the dentist's office with mom, and it hast proven to be very interesting. It suggests that nothing in this world is real. Even the chair … Continue reading Change Your Reality With Your Thoughts
A Frightful Thursday
Halloween certainly lived up to its name when I walked into the office. Not even 9am, and I received an assignment that frightened me to my core. I was in full panic mode. I could not think, and I could barely speak. I noticed my office mate giving me the side eye, so I had … Continue reading A Frightful Thursday
To Write Or Not To Write
Last week, I really wanted to write this article. It was supposed to be about a Ted Talk video on "social prescribing." I watched the video, and I was so excited to talk about it, and when the time came to write, I had nothing. I understand about writer's block, but this was an extreme … Continue reading To Write Or Not To Write
Flat Fixed
This past Tuesday, I came downstairs from my office to go to lunch and I was horrified to see that my car had a flat tyre. What followed next what a comedy of errors because I was so scatterbrained. I got the jack out, but I couldn't find the tyre iron. It was buried in … Continue reading Flat Fixed

Studies have shown that living a sedentary life and eating junk food can cause medical challenges, such as high blood pressure, weight gain, and diabetes, to name a few. My mom is a borderline diabetic, and she recently started exercising. I hast been … Continue reading The Importance of Exercise
The Catholic Way
***DISCLAIMER*** For those of you who are easily offended, I suggest you do not read the following post. You may not like what I have to say about the Catholic school system.

Summer vs. Fall Weather
Once upon a time, I used to love fall. I loved walking through, or jumping into a huge pile of leaves. I looked forward to my annual trek to Starbuck's for their seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte. Loved to walk outside and be able to make thick clouds of exhaled breath. Even when driving to work, … Continue reading Summer vs. Fall Weather
Remembering 9/11/01
On that fateful morning, I was on my way to work at Sears in my 1991 Chevy Cavalier. I was quite cross at myself because I was running late. I was not listening to the radio because I wanted peace and quiet. There wasn't much traffic on the road, and I thought was a bit … Continue reading Remembering 9/11/01
The Computerisation Of America
Two weeks ago, a friend needed to call a technician for her dishwasher. She could not turn it off. The technician determined that it was too expensive to repair. This dishwasher has a computer that turns the motor on/off as needed, and that was the part that malfunctioned. Her unfortunate plight helps me to love … Continue reading The Computerisation Of America
