A few weeks back, I wrote my first of three blogs on beauty. Not beauty in the traditional sense of the word, but in how we live our lives. In that article, I suggested that if we devote, respect and cherish the problems we encounter, we will end up with a beautiful solution. But how... Continue Reading →
Four rides…
Last week, I had the opportunity to do a snowmobile/snowboard tour with Maki Snowmobile Tours and it was one of the most spectacular things I have done in my life. Six riders, five snowmobiles, four snowboard rides, three powder boards, two Go-Pros, one great day. An excellent, raw and authentic day with so many great... Continue Reading →
Shhh…listen…much better…
I am writing a fiction book this year. Been talking about it for so long and the time is right. The time has always been right but the excuses have always won out. But more about that another day. So I sit in front of my computer and start typing. So far so good, my... Continue Reading →
On beauty (1 of 3)…

And one of our key purposes in life is to power through these problems and reach these solutions. Sometimes, our solutions are beautiful. The outcome of the decisions and the work we put...

Because it is pretty hard to dramatically change your actions and expect these to... Continue Reading →
How Good is Your Grammar?
The really good news is that this post is not about grammar, I promise. Not entirely. This post is about you and me and we and how we reinvent ourselves. Reinvent ourselves? Why? Do we have to? Well, whether we like it or not, we are constantly reinventing ourselves. Sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically. Our roles... Continue Reading →
Dancing with [f]ears in my eyes…
(with apologies to Ultravox). Lately, I have been re-reading Seth Godin's books and blogs. If you have never read him, do yourself a favour and do so. And if you have read him before, revisit these. Always educational, entertaining and worthwhile. Seth talks a lot about "dancing with fear", basically moving past our fears and... Continue Reading →
5 Wandering Wonders
My mind has been in overdrive. Whether driving, sitting, sleeping, concentrating, the mind wanders and I wonder. Here are five things that have occupied my mind this week. More questions than "answers", so let me know what you think. Detail - Check out the image above. Walking down the street, I saw this sign at my... Continue Reading →
To Tolerate or Not To Tolerate…
Over the past few months, I have found myself repeating this quote by Henry Ford – “you can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.” The recipients of this wisdom are none other than my three teenage kids, but truth be told, they are not the only ones. Deep down inside, we... Continue Reading →
