Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my shape to keep.
Please no wrinkles, Please no bags
And please lift my butt before it sags.
Please no age spots, Please no gray
And as for my belly, Please take it away.
Please keep me healthy, Please keep me young,
And thank you Dear Lord, For all that you've done.
Five tips for a woman.....
1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you.
4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
5. It is very important that these four men don't know each other.

Travel Insurance for Canadians
One of my dearest friends, Sherry (based in Ayr, Ontario) has started her own business selling Travel Insurance (for Canadians only at this stage).
She used to sell Insurance through a Company but has decided to go out on her own (good for her!) She's honest, hard-working and reliable, not to mention a total sweetheart.
The details I've got from her follow (if any Canadian chums out there are interested):
Ayr Travel Insurance
Phone: (519) 584-4290
Email: ayrtravel@sympatico.ca
I work for a Travel Insurance Broker. We have access to shop around to provide our clients with the best insurance coverage possible.
Weʼll work with them to make sure that current and/or future medical conditions are covered under the policy they purchase. Weʼll also help them find the best value for their insurance dollar.
The company I'm affiliated with is called: Snowbird Medi-Quote and they are located out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Their website is: www.mediquote.ca I am a broker with them.
I wish her the best of luck!
Beautiful Lies
I don't really know where to start to describe what I thought to "Beautiful Lies" but there's a temptation to start gushing with words like sublime, masterpiece and adored.
Lisa Unger has excelled herself with her debut novel and before you reach the last page, you'll irrevocably know why it was a New York Times bestseller; that the accolades from Lee Childs and Lisa Gardner (among others) are deserved.
Although billed as a thriller, "Beautiful Lies" is more. Different. What set "Beautiful Lies" apart from others in the genre, for me, was subtlety. Somehow the phrasing, nuances and the way she tells the story, grips you. You are no longer just “reading a book” but invested in a story. When I did put down the book (to say, go to work!), I found my mind wandering back to where I was in the story. Thinking about the characters. Musing about where it was all going.
For fans of thrillers and mysteries, simply, this is a must. A book you cannot (and don’t want to) put down. In a word? Sublime.

Slowing Down to the Speed of Life
Eventhough my work life seems to be full of drama, I have found peace in it all.
I have been reading alot and one of the books I recently read was called "What About the Big Stuff?" by Richard Carlson (author of "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff"). It was really enlightening (not to mention poignant remembering how the author passed away unexpectedly in 2006) and I am approaching things better (or so I think). I have also started relaxing more and being patient. Slowing down to the speed of life. All my life I've been go-go-go, always doing two or four things at once ;) but now I have slowed down.
One of my slowing down strategies has been to read in the bath (I've never ever done that before) but it quietens my mind from the everyday stress, worries etc. Instead of being in and out within 5 minutes, I can now soak away for half an hour. I am in no rush. There's no better place I have to be.
I am also going on the treadmill every day (I figure exercise increased endorphins so I'll feel better, I'll also lose weight and boost my immune system). I read while I am on it (I have to hold the book and the treadmill handles at the same time - LOL) but 35 minutes go by in a blink and again, I am in silence absorbed in a book. It's the quiet times that seems to help with stress and nervous energy.
PLUS my clothes are starting to feel looser which is an amazing feeling ~ and not one, I've had in forever.
So eventhough there's a lot of stress going on right now, I am in a good place. Slowing down really does make everything better.
