Sometimes I feel when things are going well that the other shoe is about to drop, that part of the balance of life means good things and shitty things come my way. After a bunch of good things or great things, a bunch of shit is on its way well its here........

Last week I discovered a problem with some of my staff and the staff of another organization that we do business with. We are a not for profit so it is a small gossip filled world. Well on Monday at 2:00 I am meeting with the...

I feel thinner, despite my cheating on optifast. Yesterday I was going to have a complete optifast day....I had breakfast and lunch optifast, but I felt like my insides were freezing, despite it being a heat wave, and the whole GTA is under a heat advisory.
