Welcome to Brian’s wonderful world, where the kind of stuff that we put on our bodies and hair matters. First and foremost, would you believe that Brian Phillips (@brianatworld) graduated from not only the same university as I did but also the same program? Although we graduated several years from each other, I find this […]
It’s finally time to unpack the most colourful advice in Get Up. I have been waiting a long time to unpack this baby, and wouldn’t you know, this advice is from no other, than my husband, Dr. Gordon Arbess. “Colourful”, because it’s direct. To the point. Provocative. It hits home. However, the reason why I […]
Truth be told, I have never met the dear and diligent Dietitian Jaime Slavin (@jaimeslavin) in person. However, I believe that due to the positive power of social media, and email correspondence, the title of this blog is well deserved. Let me be more specific. Jaime’s social media posts are all about food, family, friends, […]
Authentic awesome Agathi Yap (@Yappetyyap) is a beautiful human who has words of wisdom to share that are genuine, meaningful, and yet so simple. However, I feel that what Agathi shares and the actions she has taken – and continues to take – require a lot of courage to execute. Agathi Yap was born in […]
Say Yes is a wonderful book! Right from the moment I opened the cover, the messages and beautiful graphics sucked my attention in like a vacuum cleaner. Oh my goodness, Lisa Borden (@lisaborden) of Borden Communications (@bordencommunications)! You wrote and designed a beauty! “Wow…OMG Yes. And Yes. And.. Yessiree.” I said out loud to myself. […]
Who knew that my book Get Up would include the best advice from a young lad? To answer the question “What would I tell my teenage self?” I purposely sought out mentors who had some years under their belt. Those who have been around. Saw a lot. Did a lot. Learned a lot. It made sense for […]
Terry (@terrywalterscooks) is simply terrific. Bottom line. The real deal. What you see is what you get. Someone who is not only committed to her craft but has the desire to learn more, do more, and say why the heck not? I have to thank Lisa Borden (@lisaborden) of Borden Communications (@bordencommunciations) who introduced Terry […]
How I love trying new things! Why? It gets me out of my comfort zone. Makes my day so much more interesting – and fun! It gives me an opportunity to learn new ways that make me feel good. Trying new things gets my brain to think differently, which enables me to take a mental break […]
Helpful & super fantastic Rob Storm (@robnstorm). That’s what he is. As I stand in front of his house, schmoozing when I have my meetings with Borden Communications (@bordencommunications), this description of Rob floods into my mind. Because it’s the truth. You see, anyone can be helpful. It’s when someone goes above and beyond what is […]
My favourite way to meditate is not what you may think. When it comes to me meditating, are you picturing me sitting in a lotus position, repeating “Ohm” over and over again? Think again. Although that way of meditating may work for some, it just doesn’t work for me. And trust me, I’ve tried. I’ve […]
