VIDEO: A Special Message from me to you! :)

8 Women have something to say Links to this post








Hi Guys!!!

First of all, if you don't want to read this, watch the video above...

Second, this message is LONG OVERDUE... but to be perfectly honest, I wasn't sure exactly what to say or how to say it because I wasn't exactly sure what my plans were.

I'll try my best not to make this a long drawn out message, so here goes.

A lot has changed over the past 6months to a year for me and the blog hasn't changed with me.  I feel like when I started WWW it was about inspiring other women by bringing them together through unique events and experiences like "Wine & Dine in a Dress", "Literary Journey" and "You Day". It then evolved into the WWW blog were I was able to share my personal stories as well as the stories of other women that I looked up to...

So what started off as a hobby, quickly turned into a part-time job, then into a full-time labour of love. I loved it and apparently so did the rest of the women out there because WWW rose to become one of the biggest blogs of its kind in Canada! Posting everyday several times a day was a blast but I got carried away over time and my posts got less and less personal and more and more random and lacked the TLC that they deserved. And then as my life started to change the blog and posts didn't change with it and here we are today!

With that said, I just want to let you know that my goal is to change the blog to be truly reflective of me and how I've evolved.  And I also want to update the look of the blog because its long overdue for a face lift!

All of these things are going to take some time, so I just hope that you will all still be around once everything is up and running.

Feel free to meet me in the comment section with your questions and follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Youtube so that when the new and improved WWW is up you will be the first to know!

In the meantime, feel free to check out some of the awesome projects that I've been working on from 9-5

Food & Beverage
In October I published a 12 page spread on Food & Beverage in the Toronto Star. This project was an adventure of  my taste buds, not to mention the fact that I got to work with the wonderful Food Network Canada team and Mark MacEwan himself!

Wealth Building
Not many of you know that I actually studied finance in University but after graduating, used it very little because my passion lead me into the wonderful world of lifestyle marketing.  So needless to say I was more than ecstatic to work on a Wealth Building project that was published in the National Post.  I'm a huge CNN and The Dragon's den junkie so talking to Ali Velshi and Brett Wilson was like a dream come true!

Holiday Entertaining
In December I got to work on a project titled Holiday Entertaining.  I had a wonderful 2 hour sit down with Debbie Travis for this one (she loooooves to talk!) and I also got teamed up with the LCBO team.  It was a great way to end off 2010.  Now I am ready for 2011!!

Look out for my next supplement on Pregnancy and Babies that will be published in the Toronto Star on Saturday February 12th.  I have beautiful and (at the time) very pregnant Alanis Morissette on the cover along with an exclusive interview.

PS - above are blackberry pics that I took last night...  for the small few of you who are convinced that I've fallen off of the face of the planet!!

Love & a Hug!
