Women Entrepreneurs Yesterday I attended a presentation hosted by the Greater Miramichi Chamber of Commerce on the new Women in Business Initiative (WBI) of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA). The WBI was designed to provide women entrepreneurs with the tools to overcome the challenges of business planning, financing, training, marketing, and networking, to name…

Lottsa Snow! We had a lovely snowstorm on Monday, and I ended up being snowed in and working from home. I made the best of it even though I was on dial-up in the middle of a storm and using a computer that is slightly past its prime. I can log-in from home to check…

You may have noticed my lack of participation here the past month or so. Or maybe you didn’t notice 🙁 But trust me, I’ve been scarce. There’s a really good reason for this. With the new year Bread ‘n Molasses entered the next stage of evolution. Now, there’s an Atlantic section and a Miramichi section.…

Goal Setting – Part 2 Now back to the session on setting goals. For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, scroll down to January 13 post, and read the first half. So far you’ve reviewed your past accomplishments, written down your dreams & goals for the next 10 years, and numbered each goal…

Welcome Aboard! A big sincere welcome to Richard Trevors who recently joined the Mighty Miramichi team. Richard is a former resident of Miramichi who moved back just 3 months ago after 20years.

And the winner is… We’ve implemented a new point system at Mighty Miramichi that rewards staff for personal & professional development activities. Points are awarded for exercising, reading or listening to positive/motivational stuff, developing work skills, attending networking events, making business contacts, doing sales presentations…etc. We wrapped up the first leg of the contest today.…

I’m still here. The parking lot was looking quite lonely looking for awhile, The Captain finally arrived to help and hooked up booster cables to my battery…it soon became evident that there was another problem… a slight shortage of gas. So we went to the Irving, filled a jug, brought it back…and it still doesn’t…

I’ve been bragging lately about my car and how it’s been starting perfectly on these cold morning, without even being plugged in. Tonight it decided to teach me a lesson. I’m not sure what happened….I started it and left it running for about a 1/2 hour because it is -27 degrees. Then when I went…

Kellie brought up the subject of New Years resolutions or goals and didn’t receive many comments… Maybe it’s because you don’t want to share your personal goals but most likely it is because you don’t have any written down. Goal setting is a skill that needs to be learned so don’t feel bad if you…

Someone sent me these pictures the other day. I think they were taken in front of Weyerhaeuser Miramichi when this seal somehow got lost and ended up on the ice. Did anybody else see this or hear about it? Does anyone know what happened to it? Leave a comment and let me know. Giv'er MiramichiGiv’er…

A great Christmas and New Years was had by all, here at Mighty Miramichi. We attended the annual Christmas party for all tenants of the Miratech building at the Newcastle Curling Club. A lot of us were first time curlers and we had a blast! I have to say I was surprised by how much…

So, how was your Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate? Mine was great! Now, I’m really looking forward to bringing in 2004. Every New Year I get all excited at the possibilities. I love fresh starts, clean slates, a blank page — I guess that’s the writer in me. I’m curious. Are any of you…
