I was watching “Dan In Real Life” over the weekend. One of the last quotes in the movie talked about the things in life you should prepare for…you should prepare to be surprised. On Valentine’s Day, one of my best friends text messaged me a picture of her hand. That was it. It was what…
Since the month of February is all about the focus on love & happiness, this week’s adventures have made me think about those things I love that bring me happiness. From friends and family (on Valentine’s Day) to ME days, here are the things I’ve discovered this week. 1. The Love of a Really Good Meal. …
There is something you are taught in Raj Yoga…the importance of detachment and not seeking any form of attachment to anything in this universe. That includes detachment from other human beings. It’s a concept that is probably the most difficult for parents when it comes to their children, but in the long run, you see…
First, before I start talking about hockey and I have your immediate attention…I’d like to talk about a couple of charities. The Hockey Guys are hosting a fundraiser to benefit LiveStrong: The Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Leukemia/Lymphoma Socity. I’ve been holding back on pulling my “I have cancer” card and have already donated $100…
I spoke about this yesterday in my “Tooth Fairy” piece I wrote for Inside Hockey…Georges Laraque perseveres even when people tell him he’s not good enough. I’ve been waiting to hear what Georges had to say about what happened last week, and he finally has: Georges Blog That last paragraph in his blog was probably…
Alright…one last ditty about Burrows before I talk about other stuff (yeah…Venti Soy Peppermint Mocha has somewhat calmed me down)… Some interesting stuff that Preds On the Glass had written up from the Nashville Predators vs. Vancouver Canucks game. Buddy was telling me today that it wasn’t until Tuesday when his son Jackson had written…
I’m teaming up with a couple of other ladies from the hockey blogosphere and creating our own Radio Podcast. We’re still working on the details, but it looks like we’re coming up with a long list of things to talk and vent about the way us hockey ladies should. 🙂 Seems like we’re getting a…
Welcome to the first Monday of 2010. While I’ll finish up Shanny’s 21 Days this month (my first resolution of 2010)…there are also some other things on the resolution calendar this year for me. Right now, the thing that is stressing me out (and I’m getting overly excited for) is my first Black and White…
I would like to wish everyone a happy holidays, no matter what you celebrate (or don’t celebrate). May you be blessed with goodness and happiness. May your days be peaceful as we celebrate peace on earth. Continue to bring peace forward into the universe, be mindful of your actions. Look back on the days of…
Ok…I never really talk about this kind of stuff because it’s a sore subject. Back in 1994, two weeks before my high school graduation, I was out camping with the guys, sitting around a campfire, sharing what would be some of my last high school memories with my guy friends. Yeah, I was the only…
Well, today’s just one of those days. As the NHL pics are going around everywhere…I get an email from ideeli.com saying the photo is up on their site finally. Here’s a round about link to the photo for their site: ideeli.com I’m modeling Valentino sunglasses in Oia, Santorini, Greece. Photo was taken exclusively for ideeli.com….
Alright, I hate posting up pics of myself because I know some of you guys tend to visit them too often…I don’t want to know…don’t want to know… But my friend had taken way too many photos of me in Greece, so I decided to put my print on it and turn a bunch into…
People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel. That quote was sent to me randomly the day after I did my blog piece on my hockey passion waning. If I could describe what exactly was going on in my head, my…
I spent most of this weekend glued to my couch watching the entire fourth season of “Supernatural.” I didn’t tweet. I didn’t watch hockey. I stayed glued to my flat screen LCD watching 22 hours of the impending apocalypse…only to be left hanging with the return of Lucifer! What a way to spend the weekend,…
Last week when I was talking about former NFL NY Giants quarterback Jesse Palmer, it kind of brought back some memories. So today I’m going to share my strange but true story about Palmer. Way back when, when Jesse was making me swoon by saying…WOW…I’d watch football just to see this guy. He was on…
What a great night for NY-area sports! The Devils FINALLY won at home and the NY Yankees won the World Series. [MATSUI RULES!] As the Metro news guy said on the corner this morning, “Godzilla was loose in the Bronx last night!” For those who know nada about Yankees baseball (it’s the only baseball team…
I’ve been bothered a lot about some stupid dramatic, childish stuff happening to a friend of mine. As someone older, it’s hard to see a friend going through this bullshit, especially a colleague in this business that’s trying to be herself and make it in a male dominated industry. I said a little prayer for…
So the hockey world that knows both me and Katrina Cady (aka Psycho Puck Lady) have been biting their nails like crazy thinking…OMG…what in the world are those two girls talking about??? All I can say is…be afraid, be very afraid. 😉 I won’t divulge on our hockey girl talk. It’s private. There are teams…
While most people are sleeping in NYC (or just getting to bed), I’m awaking to a new day at 3:30AM, trying to find something constructive to do with my time before I have to head into the office. I decided that since my body will be thrust between European time zones and NYC’s time zone,…
On my last day in Santorini and on the plane to London the next morning, I couldn’t tear myself away from “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell (a book that Pat LaFontaine suggested I read to understand the importance of hockey and poker). After finishing the book (a very quick read), I have to say…I don’t entirely…
