Dare to Share

I recently read an article on The Daily Good about the dirty little secret that one woman carried with her for years. Although she was altogether accomplished in many areas from hoola-hooping to reading Latin, she could not ride a bike. Once she revealed this confidence to a friend, she discovered that he was as mystified by her ability to bake cupcakes from scratch as she was about his ability to balance on two wheels. These two friends swapped a bike riding lesson for a cake baking lesson. The exercise brought them closer together, helped them value each other more, and solidified their own appreciation for the aptitudes they already had.

Maine Summer Activities

By Jenilee Provencal | Maine, Travel, Community, | (1) Comments

nullMaine has some of the best outdoor summer activities in all of New England. Since the summer is so short we pack each weekend full of awesomely fun stuff. However given the state of the economy we can’t always spend a lot of money. It’s a good thing fun doesn’t always have to cost a bundle. Here are a few things to do this summer that are free or nearly free.

Acadia National Park is located in Bar Harbor Maine. There you can hike granite mountains, bike through some amazing trails and take in the natural beauty of Maine’s rocky coast. Plan a weekend getaway for almost nothing. There is a nominal park entrance fee of $20.00 and a camp site is only $20.00...

Would you spend $1,200.00 to "timeshare" a 15-carat diamond necklace?

By Debbie Melino | Corporate Furnished, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Georgia, Marketing, Health, Travel, Development, Lifestyle, Community, | (1) Comments

Well, thirteen women did just that! They are co-owners of a diamond necklace which they nicknamed Jewelia, in honor of the late chef Julia Child. My book group read their book, “The Necklace” by Patti Channer. The book tells the story of how wearing the necklace changed their lives, and inspired them to give the “gift” of Jewlia to raise money to support the community.

The book was written in 2009, and these women are continuing to support and inspire fundraising activities all over the world. http://www.womenofjewelia.com/past_events.html

I’d love to meet these wonderful women!

Mother’s Day is approaching!

By Jen D'Apice | Corporate Office, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Lifestyle, Community, | (1) Comments

nullFor all the moms out there today, I wish you a very warm and thoughtful day full of the love and appreciation from your daughters and sons. I’m eternally thankful for my mom and try and let her know throughout the year of my appreciation. Because, after all, you don’t need a special day once a year to let your mother know how much you care about them. While you don’t need to let them know every day, just remembering to let them know from time to time is all that’s needed. People just need to know — and hear — they are loved and appreciated.

What special token will you have planned for your mother on this wonderful day?

April is national WHAT Month?!?

By Virginia Partridge | Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Apartment Living, Marketing, Health, Travel, Development, Environmental, Food, Lifestyle, Community, | (5) Comments

I was perusing BostonGlobe.com this past weekend, and saw an article all about Grilled Cheese. I LOVE cheese, so naturally I had to follow the link. Come to find out, April is National Grilled Cheese Month. I thought to myself, "wait a second, I thought it was National Organ Donation month - no wait, I think I saw that it was Earth Month?" Turns out, April wears a lot of different hats. Below is a ABC list of what people all across the national celebrate in April. See if you can fill in the blanks!

A – American Cancer Society Month
C – Celebrate Diversity Month
D – Donate Life Month
F – Frog Month
G – Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month
H – Humor Month
I –...
