Healing Yourself From The Inside Out

I believe in science. But I also believe in the varied and integrative facets of what science and can mean. And while I love to research and truly thrive on fact-based learning, I can also see beyond into the realm of the unknown. One that makes room for faith, intuition, and trust in oneself. That’s why the path to healing isn’t linear. Sometimes it’s trial and error, sometimes it’s blissful or painful, it can be rocky at times and smooth during others… but it’s always worth it.

My Favourite Spot Asides The TIFF Theatres

TIFF is one of the most amazing, incredible, busy and blurry times of the year for me. We always seem to have at least five things on the go at once, and for the most part, the festival seems to end in the blink of an eye. It’s why I have to be honest, I usually have a few select spots that are my favourite to actually stop and enjoy during it all. Not that the entirety of the experience and festival isn’t amazing – but I’m more so meaning the places where I feel most relaxed during the demanding schedule we share with you all. Every single year since launching DoTheDaniel.com, I have been lucky to attend Rock-It Promotions, Inc‘s TIFF lounge. From my humble beginnings writing for another publication, to now running a successful global blog with Catherine, they have been there with me for the journey. Having evolved over the years in both name & size, this year is set to be the best yet! Continue reading “My Favourite Spot Asides The TIFF Theatres”

I Want My Children To See An Elephant

One of my earliest memories as a little boy was going to the Granby Zoo while growing up in Montreal with my family. I remember not necessarily knowing why the animals were there, but being so captivated by their beauty. No animal made a bigger impact than the elephant. It’s sheer size and magnificence stopped me in my velcro shoes. Ever since that moment I have had this adoration for one of the most, in my opinion, majestic creatures on the planet. 2018 has been a hard year for me when it comes to my environmental stances on certain topics. From the albino rhino earlier this year, to the importance of discussing the alarming rate that many species are approaching (or have entered) endangered status. There is so much good in the world, but there is still so much for us to do to be better. Because I want my future children to be able to see an elephant and not have them be something in story books. So let’s talk about #WorldElephantDay and why I am so proud to have partnered with Amarula to share their #AmarulaTrust campaign on August 12th in Canada.
