Holiday Eating

HEY! One woman’s discovery of living with intention and learning to embrace the ‘W’ word.

I’ll get to the significance of the ‘HEY’ shortly. Let’s start with the ‘W’ word. That word is wheelchair. I have never though of the word wheelchair as being a particularly happy word.

MAY THE COURSE BE WITH YOU

It’s almost time for another amazing afternoon of golf at the CAWEE Annual Golf Classic on Monday, August 15, 2016! And as the excitement builds, it seemed appropriate to direct a few minutes of consideration towards making sure that we all play without pain, have fun without fatigue, and enjoy without injury. While some of us are avid athletes, many more of us are ‘weekend warriors,’ and some of us might not have seen a course since last year’s tournament – we could all stand some reminders about how to prepare, warm-up and protect our bodies during this (or any) day of being active.

Outgoing message from President Lois Volk

My term as President of CAWEE came to an end at the CAWEE Annual General Meeting on June 16^th 2016.   My time spent on the Board of Directors has been a great learning experience and I’m in awe of what has been achieved by this small group of very talented women.  They should be proud of their accomplishments.

Art, business and the Internet: lessons learned as a business grows

When David and I discussed the idea of making sure that his website was able to also sell his art, neither of us had any idea where the combination of his art and my business mind would take us on.

The Basics of Mortgages Rules, Changes and More

There is more to mortgages than you think.

Everyone’s circumstances are unique.  Their incomes, spending habits, comfort levels with money and risk, goals, relationships, savings and wants are all part of who they are and what they need.  These things also factor into what type of mortgage best suits their individual situation.

Your Kitchen as a Business

We are in a period of food and health fascination or, arguably, obsession. There is a tremendous amount of insecurity, fear, self-doubt and guilt among us. Since health and food often fall in the realm of women, it is largely women who are living with these emotions of guilt, fear and stress. These feelings contribute to further pain and illness.

Weathering the Ad Biz Storm

My career started in Australia. As a star-struck youth of 17, I sat for three consecutive days in the lobby of a Melbourne TV network until the personnel director offered me a job in the PR department. I think he was tired of seeing me sitting in the lobby and said, “Okay, young lady. I have an assistant position in the PR department. Do you know what PR is?” I replied, “No, but I will learn.” I have since learned to say “yes” to every question in business.
