Everybody Remembers Their First Time

It’s that time of the year – I’m over winter, tax season is approaching and I am in dire need of some excitement. This is around the time I start threatening to run away and join the circus. When I was a little boy, my parents would take my brother and I to the circus and I marvelled at the incredible acrobats and tight-rope walkers, the beautiful elephants and majestic lions with their tamers, the funny clowns (now scary – thanks for that Stephen King!) and all the colourful performers under the big tent.

Travel Junkie, Shoe Whisperer and Comma Enthusiast

Hello from Vancouver where it rains 90% of the time and you need to sell your vital organs to afford to live here. Seriously. All jokes aside, I really love Vancouver and being out here on the West Coast. Other than the relentless rain, we have one of the most moderate climates in the world. In the words of Goldilocks, “It’s not too hot, it’s not too cold, it’s just right.” (Generally speaking, this last year has been a bit erratic to say the least).

A Step in The Right Direction

I’m in a really good place right now. We’ve settled into the new office and are hosting meetings, planning sessions, and continuously building the content we are bringing to you all. I think you could say that the health of our business is thriving. Similarly, Julio and I have officially moved into our new home and are settling into the next chapter of our life. The second bedroom is set to become an office, and eventually a nursery.

Working on our home has definitely been a priority recently. With this in mind, we have also been on the lookout for a new home insurance policy. There are lots of things to think about when moving into a new home, but taking out insurance absolutely needs to come first. Taking out home insurance can protect your property and belongings from the unexpected. If you are thinking of taking out your first home insurance policy, or are looking to renew your existing coverage, simply insurance represents some of the best home insurance companies. Head to simplyinsurance.com to compare some of your options.

Ultimately, the health of our marriage is also on track for big things to come.

Feeling as though the above is an emotional and physical checklist, I thought it would be important to also touch on my personal health and where I am headed this year. Thankfully I have the tools I need to take steps in the right direction and be rewarded for doing just that.  Continue reading “A Step in The Right Direction”

The Heart of a Strong Woman

I’m a big fan of strong women. And now, more than ever, they’re being celebrated and supported through movements around the world. In particular, I’m drawn to women who have forged a path in history and have been a role model for all that defines “woman”: instinctive, strong, courageous, inspirational, unique, determined, brave and spiritual, among countless other descriptors.
