RELATIONSHIP TIP OF THE WEEK: Stop Sweeping

Sorry ladies, this tip doesn’t mean to put down your broom. What this tip really means is to stop sweeping the dirt in your relationship under the rug. With both friends and lovers, incidents will inevitably occur which provoke hurt or anger. In some situations, we can let go and move on with the relationship. But if any resentment is going to linger, then feelings need to be expressed. Ignoring incidents increases the likelihood that the same… Continue

Wellness Watch, The Skinny on Vitamin D!

Here we are in Sunny Sarasota and one would think we are all getting plenty of vitamin D. Vitamin D is naturally produced by the body when exposed to sunlight. However many of us spend limited hours in the sun and slather on sun screen which blocks our exposure as well as toxins in the air. Many of our food sources use to contain D but with over farming it is no longer genuinely available. Did you know the more vitamin D circulating in our bloodstream the lower our body weight will be?… Continue

Karr's Corner Cafe: a pleasant surprise

I prefer to eat at local independent restaurants. Today I had the pleasure of dining at Karr's Cafe at 3025 N. Tamiami Trail in Sarasota. Wow! Vegetarian, Vegan and "Where's the Beef" all in one restaurant. I highly recommend it. Remember local shopping and dining makes a huge different in our Local Economy.

FERRETS NEED A HOME

There are two different sets of ferrets that need a home. One is in Osprey and the other in St. Pete. They all come with a multi-story cage, toys, etc.

I can help educate you if you have never had a ferret before. They are wonderful pets to have and bring so much love into a home. Paige

Social Etiquette Tip of the Week - High Altitude Etiquette

Nowhere are bad manners more obvious to me these days than on airplanes. There was a time when air travelers respected each other but that’s no longer the case.

While six miles high in the sky, and crammed into a metal tube with seats, one of the unwritten rules of the airways is to remember that you are not alone. Most of us exhibit proper in-flight behavior and we always remember those that don’t! Below are some unwritten rules of etiquette (for those that don’t) to help you avoid… Continue

Do you think burning off 3,500 calories per day will mean that you lose a pound of fat?

Actually, calories can come from a variety of sources. There are calories that come from fat, protein, carbohydrates and alcohol. If you can burn off 3,500 calories in some form of exercise, there is no guarantee you will be burning 100% calories from fat. In fact, most of the time you are burning calories from sugar or carbohydrates because they are the easiest and most accessible types of fuel in your body. Your liver holds glycogen stores for just the kind of need that exercise requires.… Continue

Marketing Tip of the Week: How to be remembered in a positive way.

Be Authentic. To me, being authentic means being yourself and believing in what you are saying and doing.

Are you selling a product that you don’t have faith in? Unless you are a good actor or actress people will see it and feel it. If you are in this position find a new job or a new product because, it is unhealthy. It creates cognitive dissonance, so you will likely lose self esteem and lose the respect of others.

In his book What Clients Love, Harry Beckwith… Continue

We all have set fitness and health goals in the past. The problem is that for some reason we never seem to achieve those goals. Why is that?

You have to work hard to achieve the goals you set for yourself. So what I want to know is: How hard are you willing to work to achieve your goals?

How much time are you willing… Continue
