^ Yep! That’s me at Borden Communications HQ in 1994! :)
Wow. 30 years.
Looking back, it's hard to believe I started Borden Communications in November of 1994 with a phone, a fax machine (remember those?), an IBM Aptiva computer, and a ton of big ideas.
I had business cards, Yellow Pages, a lot
of optimism, and no clear roadmap ... just the drive to find new pathways and follow through on my promises. That was my business plan then ... and it still is today.
Here I am, 30 years later, with a community that's grown beyond business ... it’s become a thriving ecosystem for change, wellness, and real impact.
Over the years, I’ve been lifted by amazing people, knocked down by the not-so-honourable ones, and healed in ways I never saw coming. All of it has led me to a clear path forward. Helping people and brands not just survive but truly thrive is my purpose.
So, why does this matter to you?
This milestone isn’t just for me; it’s an invitation to
you.
I'm still here because of your curiosity, your questions, and your commitment to doing better for yourself and the world we all share. Please keep at it. Together, we push for real results, navigating through trends, greenwashing, and misinformation ... staying grounded in what actually
matters.
What do I love most about this journey?
It’s not only about building a business; it’s about building a
supportive community that makes life and work, genuinely better. It's about connecting dots and connecting with each other ... it's fuel for life. I love staying focused on tangible, meaningful results, even though it means zig zagging and diving into rabbit holes to get to the focus point.
I love that it's been a
journey that’s intentional, sometimes messy, often mind-boggling, and always filled with inspiration and growth.
Now, I’m inviting you to be part of what’s next.
Whether you’ve been around here for 30 years, 30 days, or today’s your first click, you’re a part of this story. And I THANK YOU.
Join me as we keep exploring, collaborating, questioning everything, and yes ... laughing.
The next 30 years?
They’re going to be even better with you in them.
With gratitude and excitement,
LB
P.S. Be part of something bigger than yourself. Together in The Wellness Intelligence Collective (TWIC), we’re creating a future of Empathy Economics, Kind Food, and "stacked" Self-Care Snacks and Exercise Snacks ... it all works when you do! Let’s keep getting better,
together.
