I watched some of the Canada A.M. broadcast this morning live from Halifax Harbour. I knew Gary Beals and Richie Wilcox from Canadian Idol were scheduled guests and I was interested to learn what they’ve been up to since the show ended. Unfortunately, I didn’t really learn much about them. Both are apparently busy and…

Since it is the first of the month, I just checked out the mightymiramichi.com reports for October and wow! We had 11,458 visits last month! The report function is pretty cool. It tells us how many visits & hits the site gets, broken down daily & hourly, which pages are viewed most often, the search…

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last blog and quite a bit has happened since then. Mel and I moved into our new apartment – finally!! I was really anxious to move in. I have lived by myself for the last couple of years and I found it very lonely. I love having…

I read an interesting editorial today in the Rabble ezine. “The Suggestion Box in the Apricot Tree” by Anuradha Vittachi gives a lot to think about. Regardless of your personal views about the particular project in Kenya, I think the main point of this article is an important one that everyone should give some thought.…

Sunday is my day to watch tv. I’m a big pop culture junkie and I watch a lot of tv anyway, but Sunday is the day when I tune into Book Television (the channel) and the CBC. I watch Richler Ink, CBC News Sunday, Hot Type, Arts & Minds, Inside Media, Mansbridge One on One,…

I’m lov’in the new office! Lots of room, nice big window, the ducks are hanging on the wall (Misty Morning Woodies Ducks Unlimited). We’ve had to flourescent lights off all day but now it’s getting dark outside. Had to turn on the lamp. We really feel a difference in our energy levels when the lights…

“The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become.” Heraclitus 535-475 BC (approximately), Philosopher and Author Giv'er MiramichiGiv’er…

Boy, was I ever surprised when I came to the office today!! Everything was in a pile in the middle of a room on another floor in another part of the building. Terry says it’s all part of the company fitness program, this moving every six months. Stacy says our next business venture will be…

Today turned out to be quite interesting. We had our staff meeting. Melanie gave us an overview of the book she just read (see list on the left) and highly recommends it to everyone. It sounds to be a useful tool for any business person in understanding and communicating with customers. Then we watched a…

Today is Friday which means it is my “admin” day at Mighty Miramichi. Which basically means organizing all the past weeks events and planning the next week ahead. On this day I review all current projects in progress, making sure everything is on schedule. I update the database and accounting software with new customers accounts,…

Is the rain getting you down? I had a hard time this morning convincing myself that I am in a good mood! We all make the choice, each day, as to what kind of mood we’ll be in. Unless of course there are extenuating circumstances, but you get my drift. So this morning I chose…

Well I had another lovely drive home from work tonight amidst the slush & muck. I didnt dare take my eyes off the road to look over at Leslie but I’m sure he was clutching the dashboard as we both avoided staring into the onslaught of snow. Because that will make you crazy you know….staring…
