32 years is nothing to sneeze at!
Today was a HUGE day for so many reasons. I knew when the segment producer told me that my debut episode of The Goods was going to air on October 27th, that it would go well. I knew this because...
What are the young women on Sugar Daddy sites really looking for???
Back in 2011 I was creating a sizzle reel to pitch a TV show idea to broadcasters. It was a home design series featuring the amazing designer Eric McClelland, who designed our Toronto house and many hotels, along our two...
Who is raising the youth of today with so much disgusting white privilege???
On Saturday I was spending a lovely mother daughter day with Mikaela. We did a Soul Cycle class in the morning, she had a job interview, we ran an errand, had mani/pedis together then grabbed lunch. We went to this...
Anybody else out there ready to blow a gasket because you're sick and tired of all the lies???
All right. I’ve been trying to bite my tongue, be patient, look inward, take deep breaths, and meditate my mounting frustration and fury away. But alas, I fear that I’m failing miserably to hold it in any longer. Peeps, I...
Does my hubby have enough clout to get Murdoch moved to California???
There is something truly magical about Southern California. I feel transported to a simpler time when I’m here. Which seems odd, because I mean Malibu is only 32.8miles from downtown LA if you take the 10 to the 1(PCH), or...
Why isn't anybody reporting on the heartbreak in Syria???
Today I was going to post about Fuckboys, cuz two of my daughters asked me to. It’s apparently an epidemic, and after some of the stories that they’ve shared with me, and what I’ve witnessed with my own two eyes...
Doesn't it chap your a*s when you pay very good money for a product and it turns out to not really be all that much better than a less expensive version???
Yannick and I are Tumi fans, we have been using their toiletry bags for years. He also has a backpack of theirs that he is obsessed with. We always promised ourselves that when our Samsonite and Heys suitcases had seen...
Don't you love it when your faith is restored???
Sorry for the super late post…what a week this has been. The renovations of our three bathrooms are drawing to a close, but not without my prodding of the general contractor every single day. Not only am I breathing down...
Am I the only person on the planet who's claws come out when strangers go after their man???
Anybody who knows me, like really knows me knows that I am one spicy opinionated meatball. I grew up in a household with two brothers, and a big German/Romanian family on my mother’s side. Discussion/arguments were always “won” by the...
How can we get smokers to dispose of their butts somewhere other than the sidewalks and our bodies of water??
Someone, not very long ago enlightened me about cigarette butts and how they end up in our water system. Take that in for a minute. I mean really think about that little tidbit of information. How utterly disgusting is that...
Are we really still texting and driving folks? Really???
It astounds me how many times in a day I see people texting and driving. And I’m not talking at a red light, or a stop sign. Lord knows to my shame even I’m guilty of that. No. I’m talking...
Do I like watching my husband, my lover, my person make out with actresses???
You’ve asked for my thoughts on this so I’m going to give them to you. But first I want to start with the very real question: “How would YOU feel about it?” It really seems like a “no-brainer” and not...
A whole whack of things that make me go "hmmm..."
Am I the only person who has had this happen to them?? I find it so totally bizarre that people behave this way. I mean I don’t know about you, but I could really care less about other drivers around...
People missing the point all over the place, is this the problem in our modern culture??
For years I feel as though I’ve been standing at the edge of the cliff, toes hanging delicately over the jagged rock face, arms open wide, eyes closed, chin lifted toward the sky deeply breathing in and out. Meditative. Waiting....
I almost quit, and today I'm glad that I didn't, so in the infamous words of Justin Bieber...Never say Never!
For years I’ve been pitching a daytime talk show around the city of Toronto. FOR YEARS. I’m not kidding and I’m not exaggerating. I have been trying to get a production company to walk into broadcasters with me since 2008...
On Thanksgiving we give thanks...
Happy Thanksgiving to everybody who is celebrating it today. I pray that you have the fortune of being with people you love, who feed your soul and enrich your life. Every year Thanksgiving morphs into something new for us. Last...
Where does the fault lie???
Kayden Culp is a special needs boy. Kayden Culp was a regular ten-year-old boy enjoying the outdoors last Sunday, playing, like all the other kids, enjoying his independence, even though he has special needs. Kayden Culp was living his life,...
Today I can't even post...
This morning when I turned on my computer, ready to write my daily musing, I came across an article on my MSN homepage that was so upsetting, so heartbreaking that no matter what I did all day long to shake...
Is going private on social media the new cool???
Man, oh man was picking which thing that makes go “hmmm” to post about today the most difficult choice I’ve had to make since I started daily musings. I wanted to continue on with the dialogue on parenting, and who’s...
Parents who refuse to parent, but then wonder "what went wrong"???
Italian food is super high on my list of foods that I love, that I don’t eat often enough. Last night I rectified that, killing two birds with one stone by going for pizza, pasta and wine with one of...
Misogyny, isn't just for men these days, is it???
I’ve learned something in these past two months that I must say I’m deeply disturbed by. Actually, I take it back. It isn’t just the last sixty days that I’ve been aware of this issue-what I have witnessed is it...
