Post-It Notes (or what normal people call blogs)
(View Archived Post-it Notes)
People often ask me about my blog and I'm never sure what they're referring to. For me, writing a blog is not the same thing as writing a newspaper column. I do both, but my commitment level to one is quite different than the other.For over three years I've been writing my weekly newspaper column "On a Brighter Note," and for... (Continue Reading)
MY DAY AS MARILYN
After failing to find something I wanted to wear at a costume store the day before my friend's Halloween party, I decided to just buy some long lashes, pull a wig out of my tickle trunk, a dress out of my closet and call myself Marilyn Monroe.I always thought she'd be a fun character to play, and she was. Starting off... (Continue Reading)
FROM SCARY TO SLUTTY
It's been a long while since I've gone looking for a Halloween costume for myself. And by that, I actually mean that this was the first year I ever have.As a young adult I used to think up a somewhat original idea and make it from scratch. More recently I've done a little of that, but I've also skipped dressing up... (Continue Reading)
BACK TO FINISHING SCHOOL
When I redesigned my website my intention was to blog often, and because of that I positioned the blog in the top right corner of the home page. Reality quickly proved that I'd be blogging way less often than I thought I would, and in many cases, not even as often as I was writing my weekly column. So what have... (Continue Reading)
WHO DO YOU GET TOLD YOU LOOK LIKE?
Who do you get told you look like?I get told I look like someone all the time. Ive been told that I look exactly like Dana Plato, Nicole Kidman, Jenna Elfman, Carmen Elektra, Cat Deeley, Helen Hunt, Jennifer Westfeldt, Jenny McCarthy, Fergie and most recently Elizabeth Banks. Interesting, because none of these women really look like each other all that much,... (Continue Reading)
ESCAPING THE “IF ONLY’S”
As I sit working in my beautiful little film studio I am full of regret. Why? Because I can hear the phone ringing at the psychic hotline call-centre on the other side of what I now know is a completely un-insulated wall. If only their phone had rung or they had uttered a word one of the times I checked out... (Continue Reading)
A NOTE WORTH KEEPING
I love Post-It Notes, but what I love about them most is the crumpling up of them once I complete a task. Unfortunately there's been a lot more writing of them and a lot less disposing of them in recent months and I've become exceedingly overwhelmed.I've been asked several times recently why I've been so quiet online, and this state I'm...

THE INSPIRATION OF CHAMPIONS
The Olympics are over and I miss them already.There is nothing as inspiring to me as watching Olympian athletes competing for the gold... especially when I'm working out. The passion, dedication and perseverance they display pushes me to work out that much harder myself. And not just in the gym, but in all aspects of my life.From the opening ceremony to...

CANDY CIGARETTES? STILL?
Why is Popeye still selling candy cigarettes to kids? Doesn't he care that little kids will buy them and pretend to smoke? Even my nine year old daughter, Daisy who hates the whole idea of smoking bought them with her little friend one day at the corner store and they puffed on them all the way home.I realize they've been repackaged...
