BORDEN COMMUNICATIONS + DESIGN

These two photos are 30 years apart.

30 years ago today I started Borden Communications. Hard to believe.

So much is the same.
So much is different.
Notably, I now use the internet instead of the Yellow Pages.

As I wrote in this month’s email, on LinkedIn, and in TWIC (with a gift to all members), whether you’ve been around for 30 years, 30 days, or today’s your first day interacting, I thank you.

Every year ahead is going to be better with you in them.

THIS IS YOUR INVITATION.

I've learned that work and life are way more fun, rewarding, and successful when you share it with others that “get it”.

So ... I created what I craved ... and what you asked for ... a feel-good place online to spend a little feel-good time.

If you are a purpose-driven entrepreneur and/or curious human and ready to feel something new, you're welcome to join me in The Wellness Intelligence Collective. I look forward to sharing everything that's inside!

This week’s Lesson in in TWIC … APPLE CIDER VINEGAR!

NOT ALL APPLE CIDER VINEGAR IS CREATED EQUAL

My kids joke that I think that most everything can be solved with Apple Cider Vinegar (or Castor Oil!). It’s an age-old folklore remedy that is widely used to flavour and preserve foods, heal wounds, fight infection, clean fruits and veggies, manage weight, aid digestion, and even combat dandruff. Most ACV you find in the grocery store is the clear, pasteurized, and filtered type... The processing is usually done to kill off any bad bacteria but it will also steal the health-giving, good bacteria from the cider!

Do you know Pearl?

Every week I interview a good human from TWIC. This week it’s some wise advice from my grandmother …

Pearl, or as I call her, Gramma, is my nifty, sharp, direct, efficient, amazingly capable, super loving grandmother who smiles and hugs like she means it! This introduction and this interview could not possibly do a justice to her, her life and how she lives it, or what she means to me ... OR have you comprehend her devotion to family and friends, her ability to figure pretty much anything out, and guide others to figure stuff out. Instead of an interview that tells a slice of her life story (since my aunt has been working on that), this is a short and sweet interview where I asked her for some advice for all of us and included a few fun pictures, plus her "recipe" for the best pickles in the whole world. I think it's all very wise. She will be 100 next month ... how many of us have more life experience to pass on a little sound advice?

You can find our interview in The Wellness Intelligence Collective (TWIC). It’s a good place to spend a little time. https://www.thewellnessintelligencecollective.com/posts/pearl-goodman-member-highlight-of-the-week
