Your 2009 To Do List

The decorations are put away, the Christmas sweets are all consumed, even the leftover turkey soup is probably on its way out. Tomorrow, millions of people will head back to regular life and work patterns, and as a result, millions of New Year’s resolutions will go by the wayside. I don’t make New Year’s resolutions...CONTINUE READING

Why Where You Come From Is Important

by Susan Murphy

One of my favourite Christmas gifts this year was a novel entitled “Whale Song”. It’s written by Cheryl Kaye Tardif, who, in addition to being fantastic writer, is also an old family friend. She went to high school with my older brother Mike, and I’ll always remember, even though I was the bratty, tag-along little...CONTINUE READING

How to Make Your 2009 Goals Reality

by Susan Murphy

My friend Dominick Evans wrote about his New Year’s resolutions on his blog yesterday. I commented with some of my own resolutions, but that’s not what this post is about. New Year’s Resolutions are goals, it’s as simple as that. The beginning of a new year is a convenient time to set goals. The issue...CONTINUE READING

The Art of Saying No

by Susan Murphy

One of the hardest things for me to do is to say “no” to people. It gets me in all sorts of trouble, too. I get over-committed, over-booked, over-stressed in an effort to please everyone all the time. It’s a common problem – I know lots of people for whom saying “no” is the worst...CONTINUE READING

On Thankfulness

by Susan Murphy

I have a serious attitude problem. I have a tendency sometimes, to focus on what I DON’T have, instead of what I DO have. I’m sure we all do this from time to time. It’s easy to get wrapped up in this kind of self talk: “If only I had THIS, then I could do...CONTINUE READING

5 Fun Facts

by Susan Murphy

This morning I logged on to Twitter and saw that I had been tagged by the lovely Barb Chamberlain of BiketoWorkBarb to produce a list of five things people might not know about me. The original idea came from my newest and coolest Twitter friend Dominick Evans, who sees the real value in doing an...CONTINUE READING

Random Suzemusings

by Susan Murphy

Just some stuff I’ve been thinking about tonight: Will any of this political stuff still matter to people in a month, two months, six months, once the media circus dies down? Or will we just go on about our lives? Will I ever be able to play barre chords without a big pause in between...CONTINUE READING

Why Angle is Important

by Susan Murphy

I love the way Oliver Stone shoots his movies. Every shot has about 4 or 5 different meanings. The more times you watch the film, the more you pick up on those meanings. Last night, hubby and I went to see “W.“. Aside from being a brilliant and, in my opinion, Oscar worthy film, it...CONTINUE READING

To Vote or Not To Vote

by Susan Murphy

Over the past several weeks of this Canadian election campaign, I’ve spoken to plenty of people about voting. What I’m continuously surprised by is the number of people who are not planning to vote. Perhaps I shouldn’t be that surprised. The voter turnout for the last election in 2006 was just 64.7 % (source: Elections Canada Online)....CONTINUE READING

Grateful

by Susan Murphy

It’s Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. It’s the height of Autumn, the trees are a fiery glow on the brightest of blue skies. The breeze is crisp, but the last of summer’s warmth can still be felt in the sun. Fall is my favourite time of year, not just for the beautiful days, but because it...CONTINUE READING
