Yes, it’s another blog about restaurants and it will be my last one for a while. As previously mentioned, I not only have an interest in a couple of dining establishments, but I also do newsletters for them as well as social media. So, yes, there is a promotional aspect to this Friday’s blog. Today’sContinue reading “Leveraging Social Media and Positive Reviews: The Key to Restaurant Promotion”

Patience: Key to Success
I am not the most patient person in the world. I like things when I want them and not later – especially when I am waiting for a potentially lucrative contract to come through, weight loss, or, okay, I admit it, anything I want. However, in recent years and because of recent events such asContinue reading “Patience: Key to Success “
Nostalgia: Comfort and Trap
I watched a 1960s-era Ford Mustang drive by the other day and several cars going by the other way honked their horn while their driver waved as the piece of nostalgia went by. Perhaps those passing by the Mustang were thinking about their own youth for a moment, harkening back to a more carefree timeContinue reading “Nostalgia: Comfort and Trap”

Unplugging for Mental Clarity
In an increasingly digital world, the concept of “unplugging” from technology has gained significant attention as a counterbalance to the pervasive presence of screens and devices in our lives.

Monthly Restaurant Newsletter Benefits
As a Marketing/PR/Corporate Communicator, the success or failure of privately-owned restaurants is important to me. Over the last few months, I have become involved in a couple of restaurants and have observed many things, both good and bad. What I have noticed is that none has a newsletter. Shameless plug: I write newsletters for variousContinue reading “Monthly Restaurant Newsletter Benefits “
Physical, Psychological, and Social Benefits of Living Near Water
I recently moved from a concrete jungle of a city to a small town by the water, approximately three hours northeast of where I was. The area is known as The Kawarthas and with its 250+ lakes and rivers in the vicinity, it is an outdoor paradise – even in winter. In living here nearlyContinue reading “Physical, Psychological, and Social Benefits of Living Near Water”
The Essence of Honor in Work: Recognizing Dignity in Every Task
In this day and age of rising prices and difficulty making ends meet, many have taken on second jobs, or to use the colloquial term, “side hustles.” Many of these side hustles include restaurant work, housecleaning, working retail, or some other role that is often looked down upon by certain segments of society. However, inContinue reading “The Essence of Honor in Work: Recognizing Dignity in Every Task”
Discovering Small-Town Living: Community, Nature, and Security
It has been 10 months since I moved from a bustling city/region of 650,000 people (about half the population of Hawaii) to a village of 1,000 people at most. It is located a half hour north of a city of 85,000 so all the major amenities are nearby. I wasn’t sure I’d manage all rightContinue reading “Discovering Small-Town Living: Community, Nature, and Security”
The Vital Importance of Sleep: Nurturing Mind, Body, and Soul
When I was younger, a badge of honor was to run on little sleep – five hours a night – and brag about it to my friends. I took caffeine pills and washed them down with strong cups of coffee to keep going during final exams in high school and college. The inevitable headache whenContinue reading “The Vital Importance of Sleep: Nurturing Mind, Body, and Soul”
