Motivation follows Action!

September 8, 2008 by christine

Motivation follows Action!  By far this is one of my most favourite mantras and my belief in it has served me well time and again.  Just today I woke up on what must have been the wrong side of the bed.  I had low energy, my thoughts were less than positive and being self employed … [Read more...]

And I thought I was a multi-tasker!

November 12, 2007 by Jen

So yesterday, I'm on my way to Tim Horton's drive-through to pick up lunch for my kids and moi, and en route, I realise that I have no cash!
