Of Politics and Possibility. Musings from the mind of Amanda. Don't say I didn't warn you. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Another year, another Relay for Life. Recently I had the opportunity to participate both as a team leader and a committee member in the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life. Having been a participant for the past few years, it was interesting to see the other side of things. A large portion of my evening was spent walking around the track at Brampton's Fair Grounds. I think it was a br...

I can't comment on the specifics for obvious reasons, but a recent crisis in my industry pointed out a few (often fatal) traps that PR professionals (myself included! Often fall into. The best example that I can think of is drinking your company/non-profit/charity's Kool-Aid. There are a few important things to remember here that will help you out immensely! Traditi...

Of Politics and Possibility. Musings from the mind of Amanda. Don't say I didn't warn you. Monday, October 25, 2010. Of seven year olds and pole dancing. I came across this thanks to the Toronto Star. I'm going to start by saying that I do not endorse this style of dancing by girls so young, but I found the whole controversy surrounding the issue quite interesting. Parents are outraged that their children, usually daughters, are learning erotic moves and wearing smaller, sexier outfits. Links to this post.

Of Politics and Possibility. Musings from the mind of Amanda. Don't say I didn't warn you. Wednesday, February 1, 2012. Disclosure: I bought the latest Coldplay album last weekend and haven't been able to stop playing it yet. Thankfully (for the husband's sake), I only really play it while I'm in the car and he's not usually with me. There's this one lyric that just keeps playing over and over in my head and I'm not quite sure why but it's something that I've been mulling over the past few days. I have a...

I was recently fortunate enough to participate in one of Algonquin Park's most famous activities: the wolf howl. According to the report, the wolf howl that I attended was the only one this year to get a response from the guides' calls. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

I thought I'd take a different spin on things this week and talk about education. It tends to be a favourite subject of mine, considering the amount of time I've spent in school (7 year post-secondary and counting! Today, however, I will be waxing on the awesomeness that is the University of Guelph's online equine programs. To Equine Event Management. Keep y...

Of Politics and Possibility. Musings from the mind of Amanda. Don't say I didn't warn you. Friday, November 11, 2011. Event planning 101 or How I survived planning my wedding solo without ending up certifiable. Planning (and surviving) a wedding is an awful lot like consciously choosing to avoid a mental breakdown. There are meetings, scheduling conflicts, and (quite frequently) wine. I just survived my first. Wedding, of course. Never underestimate the importance of caffeine. 3 Never underestimate the i...

It sounds like something out of a nightmare: " Girl finds dead mother hawking cure-all on Facebook. Helen Breimer died 9 months ago of cancer and her Facebook. Account was hacked to promote a "miracle cure-all" colon cleanser. The account has since been shut down but this is just one example of many of how commonplace identity theft is becoming.
