Fist of all HAPPY BELATED EARTH DAY everybody!:) I celebrate Earth Day every year…it is s symbol of my commitment to helping making my planet a better place.  This year I was not able to celebrate in any specific Earth Day celebration because I was finishing up my last “Coaching” weekend.. a three day intense weekend. After 7 months, I am …

This year has been about me..I mean, putting me first and thinking about my health and wellness.  After losing almost 30 Ibs, I am happy to say I am feeling better and healthier in so many ways.  With losing that amount of weight, it’s true…many of my clothes no longer fit:)  Yesterday, my Co-worker said, you must be anxious and …

I thought that I would be writing a very sad post this morning but I am not.  Last night, we spent most of our night at the DMV emergency animal hospital after Kayla, our beloved Pug, fell or jumped off the bed and could not feel her legs.  We spent a long time talking about options with the Vet but I …

My parents are getting older.  They live in New Brunswick but I think more and more about them everyday.  I do wish I was closer at times!  They have a dog, Kalua! I rescued Kalua 12 years ago and I will never forget when my Mom Molly came up to get her and I secured a trip back home by Via …

I used to love Swifters!  After-all they are fast and for those quick jobs…..what could be better?  I even love the commercials when the dirt gets picked up so easily and I can count the time I save. But at one point I realized that my  housecleaning was NOT green and could actually be dirtying my household environment and harming our pets …

On Wednesday night I saw a man get hit by a car.  I was just leaving the University after  hosting a Women in Leadership Mentor meeting.  It was 8:30 and the streets were still alive with hustle and bustle but there was a peacefulness as well since it was after most classes had already finished.  I was walking to my …

I love to de-clutter!  I guess that’s why I write Dog Gone Green on montrealdogblog.com, have an E-Z being Green page on Facebook and won a Sustainable Champion Award at Concordia.  My parents love me to visit but I know they also expect me to come home ( in NB by the way) with the “1-800 Call Junk sign” and …

If you are like me, you love having birds, squirrels and all kinds of living creatures in the front/back yard enjoying sunflower seeds, nuts, or other feed left out for them to enjoy!  I think for many people, only when spring rolls around, do they think of gettingthe bird feeder out..However, winter is the most crucial time to think about …

1.  I wish for quality nature walks on a regular and daily basis. Let’s both get exercise and oh yeah..variety is the spice of life so please change the route once in awhile will ya? 2.  Please scoop my poop.  You can dump the waste down the toilet,  bury the waste in your yard at least 12 inches deep and then cover …

There’s a lot going on at Christmas. Tons of food, lots of extra calories, extra treats and goodies hanging around, eggnog, candy and those Christmas logs that are not really good but people buy them anyway!   I often hear others, including myself, say that famous line: “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing.” Let’s face it-it’s a food-focused holiday. To be honest, I …
