Nancy, you've just summed it up: "As women, we always have drama in our life."
Yup - and so easy to let it stand in our way.

Thanks for the reminders here. Great post!

Re: Friday Edition: Who would you be if you were freed from your past?

Debbie R — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 08:50:56 -0000

I would be more spontaneous and, like Danielle said, the passionate hot babe that my husband married.
I'd also be kinder - and always without ulterior motive.

Re: When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Debbie R — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 08:47:04 -0000

When I was a child, my love of books was so all-consuming, that my dreams couldn't conceive of a higher calling than to be a librarian.

I'm an accountant, an entrepreneur and a sender of cards, but have never worked with books for a living.

So my living room and my sewing room are wall to wall bookcases, and the books spill out in hallways, on tables, on floors....

Re: In terms of celebrities, whose fashion sense do you admire?

Debbie R — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 05:45:53 -0000

Reese Witherspoon - she's always appropriate - dressy for the runway and not too (if ever) over-exposed for her everyday life.
Besides, she has a killer smile - and that's really the best accessory!

Hilarious! Josephine was worth admiring for her sureness in her skin!

Re: What are you afraid of?

Debbie R — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 10:06:28 -0000

I'm afraid of severe physical pain.

The thought of enduring torture is terrifying. Just kill me because
I think I could die for my faith.

Re: What are the tools of your trade?

Debbie R — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:07:06 -0000

Vision. Compassion. Kindness. Generosity. Cards. The web. The telephone. And my Daytimer.

After 25 years and experimentation with many systems, I have now used the Harold Taylor planner for the past ten years. - Except one year (2006) when I thought I'd rely on my Palm Pilot - OMG what a nightmare. I had the DTs for Harold!

Re: What do you do to promote your own happiness?

Debbie R — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 05:50:35 -0000

I begin each day by sending an unexpected card of gratitude and appreciation to someone I care about. This new habit has had a profound effect on my life!

It's amazing what happens when I set the tone for the day by thinking about who or what I'm are grateful for in my life.

Re: What’s the best workshop or course you ever took?

Debbie R — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 09:29:34 -0000

I am a life-long learner and have attended literally hundreds of workshops, seminars & classes. All of have had an effect on my life. And sometimes these events will touch us far beyond what the curriculum might suggest.

My life was changed during Kim Chernecki's bconscious three day workshop in Toronto in spring 2000.

Although I'm no longer in the career that I discovered during the workshop, it opened me up to the endless possibilities within myself.

Re: What would be your last meal and with whom would you share it?

Debbie R — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 09:07:48 -0000

This makes me cry - especially Joannie's response. I know we'd be together again in the new world, but even the temporary leaving would be so painful!

Maybe we could all consider the question "What is your perfect meal?" or something like that. Then we could concentrate on the food!

Re: What’s your favourite inspirational quote?

Debbie R — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:24:54 -0000

"People will forget what you said.
People will forget what you did.
But people will never forget how you made them feel."

This quote by Maya Angelou sums up why I send cards!

Re: What do you regret?

Debbie R — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 10:04:17 -0000

Caroline - my life seems to have parallelled yours but 20 years earlier and in accounting instead of law.
Don't despair. As you said there's plenty left to do - and you can listen now. I did at your age and I'm in a FANTASTIC place in my life now.

Re: What is your big, audacious dream for yourself?

Debbie R — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 06:19:08 -0000

To make it possible for my husband to retire within 5 years - and to spend the rest of our lives "working" together!

Re: Who in your life do you admire… and why?

Debbie R — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 08:34:29 -0000

My grandmother. She always made each of her grandchildren feel as if they each were her very favourite. I want my grandchildren to feel that way too.

Re: What’s your image of God?

Debbie R — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 05:55:54 -0000

I agree with Andrea's eloquent reply.

It's difficult to have an image of something which has no physical form, yet God is reflected magnificently in the perfect accuracy, symmetry & beauty of the natural system he created.

The Bible gives us descriptions such as the ones in Daniel & in Revelation (example 4:11) to help us to see the qualities that make up the invisible spirit - all of those that Andrea mentioned and powerful, just, the epitome of love - certainly worthy to receive glory, honor & devotion.

Re: What are your 3 top priorities this week?

Debbie R — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 07:59:53 -0000

Be certain that I am spiritually nourished by studying the Bible by myself and in the "congregated throng".
Keep my business on track by making a LONG list of phone calls.
Pay the bills without panicking and know that the wealth will come.

Re: How would you spend your last $20?

Debbie R — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 08:06:10 -0000

I'd buy enough all the postage stamps I could - and send out cards to all of my friends!

Re: What would improve your work space?

Debbie R — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 09:04:46 -0000

Better lighting, and an electrical boundary system that would keep out the cats and dogs (love 'em, though I do)

Re: How would you spend your last $20?

Debbie R — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 10:29:15 -0000

I'd buy my cards with the points balance in my Send Out Cards account :-)

Re: What’s the best relationship advice you’ve ever given or received?

Debbie R — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 07:57:04 -0000

Concentrate on the GIVING. In any type of relationship - familial, friendship, life partners - the more you invest, the more you will receive. But remember, it's not about the receiving - it's about the GIVING.
And communicate - it's the life blood of any relationship.

Re: What’s your favorite eco-friendly habit?

Debbie R — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 06:58:23 -0000

Without a doubt, COMPOSTING kitchen & yard waste.
We recycle & compost and have less than one bag of garbage per month for our household of two people. It's amazing to see how very little needs to go to the landfill.

Re: What’s your favorite gadget or piece of technology?

Debbie R — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 07:15:55 -0000

The World-Wide-Web. What did we ever do before so much information was at our fingertips?

Re: What’s your favorite easy thing to cook?

Debbie R — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 08:20:33 -0000

Let's talk REALLY simple, not just quick. Poached eggs on toast is on the top of my list.

A cruise on the Baltic Sea - visiting St. Petersburg...

Re: What is your favorite fiction book?

Debbie R — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:03:11 -0000

yes, as noted, many, many, many choices..

I first read Mrs. Mike by Bernard & Nancy Freedman when I was in grade 8. It captivated me then and does still today.

Re: What do you know the most about?

Debbie R — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:37:41 -0000

I know how receiving an unexpected card can brighten a day, touch a heart or even change a life. I love to think about the joy that I spread every day as I send cards to the people in my life.

Re: What’s the best concert you ever attended?

Debbie R — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:13:28 -0000

Best hands down was the free Burton Cummings concert in the park during the Festival of Friends in Hamilton Ontario. It could never be duplicated - perfect evening, sitting with friends on a blanket on the grass, song after song after song from my past - ans then, when I was sure he'd done them all, more songs.
And the people - I was so proud of my (then) fellow Hamiltonians. Not a rowdy in the bunch.
MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............

Re: Very Sneaky-Clever Warner

Debbie R — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 08:52:18 -0000

Clever! Greatly reduces the annoyance factor that it's a sales ad. Just building on contact with existing clients.
