There Are No Shortcuts To The Finish Line

August 30th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

Last week Tracy wrote a piece called Can I Start Again? in which she talked about what it would be like if we could get a free pass or a ‘do over’ at certain times in our lives. Using a great keyboard analogy, she asked if you would chose to Delete certain events? Control others? [...]

Ahhhhhhh! I’m in true artist red zone, blow my lid off, can’t get any more inspired than this heaven! I’ve just found out about Passion Works Studio and am truly humbled, excited and energized. I get this way when I find a smokin’ deal on great shoes, complete a construction project at home (and it [...]

August 23rd, 2010 · 6 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

I’d like to give credit here to Beth Cook, the author of this list, [...]

Rotten Tomatoes for Eat Pray Love – the Movie

August 16th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

The scenery is nice to look at, and Julia Roberts is as luminous as ever, but without the spiritual and emotional weight of the book that inspired it, Eat Pray Love is too shallow to resonate.
This quote is from the Rotten Tomatoes, a movie review website that allows viewers to rate their favourite films, [...]

7 year old Artist Kieron Williamson

August 9th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts

These videos are sooooo cute! Not only is this little boy an incredible artist, but his voice is adorable! So Coronation Street. Do they have kids on that show? They must. I get so jazzed when I see real god-given talent, and here it is in spades! I can’t wait to see what he does [...]

Svaha Spirit Sunday ~ Find your own Way

August 8th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Inspiring, Jacquie's Posts, Svaha Spirit Series~Sunday

Although this is a beautiful tribute to a wonderful dog, there’s also an incredible message for all parents in here. My youngest just graduated from high school and I want her to know that whatever she chooses to do in life she’ll always make me proud. You can’t make someone be or do something they’re [...]

The One-Upperer… Please tell me I didn’t!

August 2nd, 2010 · 6 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Taboo

As I was driving to the grocery store this afternoon, midsummer sun high above, happy tunes on the radio, my mind wandered over to the events of the night before when my husband and I attended a great party in a fabulous beach house in White Rock with a bunch of industry high rollers. I [...]

Does Your Brain Need a Workout?

July 26th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Health and fitness, Jacquie's Posts

I found this article on Yahoo Lifestyle this morning and, though my intention was to write about Chinese Water Torture today (my husband kisses me goodbye every morning at around 5:30 a.m. but I can’t get back to sleep because of the slow and painfully loud, intermittently dripping shower he’s neglected to turn all the [...]

Charice On Glee

July 19th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Celebrity, Jacquie's Posts

Oh for Pete’s sake! I just read that the singer, soon to be actress, Charice just got botox for her first ever TV role. The girl is a very pretty 18 years old!
Charice is that incredible young singer from the Philippines who created a sensation on YouTube and then found herself singing on Oprah and [...]

Sunday Spirit Series ~ “I Want More Time”

July 18th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Svaha Spirit Series~Sunday

I was at the grocery store yesterday and overheard a nasty exchange between a mother and daughter. Both looked really upset with each other, and harsh words were flying fast and furiously. It made me think of this rather sad/melodramatic commercial I came across a while back. What would it feel like if your last [...]

Typewriter Man

July 12th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts

Remember when school essays had to be handed in typed, double-spaced and perfect? I’m talking before computers.  I’m talking about using a real typewriter. Well, I do. I hired someone to do a term paper for me once. Just the typing…not the writing. I didn’t read it before handing it over to the prof. When [...]

Would You Fall For This?

July 5th, 2010 · 10 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

My beautiful daughter graduated from high school last week. Three days of special events and festivities so it was rather hectic, to say the least. The day before the official grad celebration ~ you know, the big dress, the hair, the corsage ~ I got a call from a limo service letting me know that [...]

Monday June 28th

June 28th, 2010 · No Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts

This weekend I was out of town with one of my kids.  While I love nothing more than hanging out with any of them, an added bonus was that it got me away from the huge painting I’ve been working on for the past several weeks and allowed me to come back home with fresh [...]

Coffee Tawk

June 21st, 2010 · 3 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

My dilemma is my life is all about the kids right now and I don’t have permission to talk freely about them. One is getting married (the dress has been found but that’s all I’ll say on that subject), another graduates from high school next week and the third is … doing a lot of [...]

Girl on Girl Talk

June 14th, 2010 · 13 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

People who know me well know I’m not a phone talker. Put it this way: I’m not a recreational phone user. The phone, to me, is for making reservations, ordering Chinese food, booking hair appointments and locating teenagers who are out past curfew.  I rarely sit on the phone just chat. Now, if someone has [...]
