I recently joined a Facebook writers' group, and we are going to write for each other on a weekly basis. This was our first topic. It's definitely a challenging one! So here are my thoughts on the matter. The main reason that any topic is boring is because the reader sees no personal connection to … Continue reading Enlivening Boring Topics

Froggy Love
Oh, Froggy went a-courting and he did ride ... in a big, green plastic box that is an environmentally sustainable answer to the eternal cardboard conundrum. Dragon Den's Jim Treliving has a stake in this Vancouver-based company, so it must be a good thing, right? Well, actually, it looks like it probably is. Full disclosure … Continue reading Froggy Love

The Evolution of My Virtual Communities
The heart of being a Professional Enabler is to have a community to enable. I've been thinking about how my online community has evolved over the years, as my interests and enthusiasms have waxed and waned. Some people have stuck even though my participation in the community where I met them has become sporadic at … Continue reading The Evolution of My Virtual Communities
My Three Words for 2013

For … Continue reading My Three Words for 2013
What I’ve Been Doing

First of all, my little tutoring/editing/web support business has been dormant for a while, and I need to … Continue reading What I’ve Been Doing

It used to be that FB would allow you to post blog posts directly to the page, but they've decided, in their infinite … Continue reading Like my Facebook Page?

So I deleted everything else and I'm just going to concentrate on those two. One … Continue reading May I Help You?
Milk kefir bliss!
I know that a lot of people claim that dairy is too Neolithic to have any place in a paleo-style diet - in fact, I have seen claims that anything you can't pull off a bush or kill with a sharp stick does not belong in our diet. Hmm, a little extreme much? While 10,000 … Continue reading Milk kefir bliss!
Why Blog?
So I've been going on about these women bloggers I've been hanging out with on FB. One of them asked us why we blog, what benefit we accrue from blogging, what keeps us going.I gave some kind of flippant answer, but in truth, now that I've been doing this for a while (almost exactly a … Continue reading Why Blog?
