Miss Representation: Thoughts and opinions on a powerful message

Back when I was in Florida, I received a text from my friend, Sarah. The text was to inform me that, as soon as possible, I needed to check out a documentary called “Miss Representation“.

Read, live better, repeat

“That’s what alchemists do. They show that, when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” Pretty great quote, eh? I thought that it was pretty fitting that I would stumble across it while I was reading, which is part of my New Years resolution to live better. Seeing read more »

Winterless wonderland

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m confused. The last time that I checked, it was January. January 11th, to be exact. It’s winter, or at least it’s supposed to be. But save for a few short-lived snow falls and cold dips over the holidays, this has been the least wintery winter in a read more »

Tell me a story: A quiet celebration in the name of storytelling

Back when I underwent Operation: Laser Eyes, I had been pre-warned by my wise Twitter followers to be prepared for what was sure to be a long and boring day of resting with my eyes closed. Knowing that I would be unable to read or watch TV, I decided to download some podcasts. My go-to read more »

Remember Lily, the Youtube darling that stole the hearts of Interweb-denizens everywhere a few weeks ago when her parents caught her reaction to a surprise trip to Disney Land on video?

HealthAchieve and the Fantastic Mr. Fox (or, On finding passion when you least expect it)

Earlier this week I got to attend the 2011 OHA HealthAchieve conference in Toronto. I went because of my job and mainly for the purposes of sharing the work we’ve been doing with social media. Being the PR nerd that I am, I got right into all of the prep before hand – building conference read more »

Operation: Laser Eyes, Part 1

I find it kind of funny that I still have nights where I stand in front of the bathroom mirror before bed, trying to figure out what I’ve missed in my nighttime routine. I still do a double take when I realize that I can read street signs, the time on the clock, or a read more »
