Unfriending on Facebook
These are the terms that send significant traffic to my website. Yes, I realize what that says about the content of my blog. Anyway, I may as well try and be useful!

First Day as a Ski Instructor
Although I've given a lot of free ski lessons since I qualified, to people displaying various degrees of talent and attention to instruction... yesterday was the first time people paid for my advice.

Finding Balance and Motivation
On Wednesday, uOttawa WISE had the latest talks in our Inspiring Women series. As has happened every time so far, I think this is the best yet. How do we top it in February? (OK I have a sneak preview of what will be happening in February, and that's going to be awesome too). Our speakers ...
