The Moment That Changed My Life

Well that’s a title and a half, isn’t it?

But one that I’ve been giving some serious thought in the first few days of the new year. Over the last twelve months I have chosen to (and at times felt like I have been made to) evolve in more ways than a lot of people will ever realize. From my mental health to the physical changes in my appearance, my emotional fragility (and strength) to staff here at the blog… there’s been a lot of those “aha” moments that have helped me to realize who I am. And what I want in life. There is one moment that comes to mind above a lot of others and today I wanted to take a moment to share it with you all in hopes that it helps to remind you that one moment can make the biggest difference.

Being “Green” Has Never Looked This Good

Having had several moments over the last twelve moments where I was able to stop and realize how much I have grown, I am finally able to be happy with the man I am today in 2019. I am not perfect, and just like you I have made a lot of mistakes. That’s human nature – and I think some of the best lessons I have had to learn have been from loss and challenging choices. And my friends, that is okay.

We have to go through all of that in order to properly appreciate those things, and people, we love with all the ferocity of our hearts. Or at least, that is how I am choosing to see this year. I know what I feel, what I think, what I believe, and who I want to be as a man. Both for myself and for those in my life. One of those decisions comes from the knowledge I acquired in 2018 about my impact on the world around me with the purchases I make.

Putting My Best Foot Forward

Had you told me five years ago when I started the blog that I would be sitting down at my office in Toronto, with nine amazing staff around the world, that I would be excited for the month of January I would have probably laughed in your face. Having grown up in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto – I am very well aware of what a Canadian winter can be like. But today I wanted to really focus on all the amazing and positive things I am taking with me into the new year and why I am really doing every in my power to put my best foot forward this winter and all year long.

The Best Way To Start 2019

With January well underway, I am immersed in all the excitement that the new year has presented for the team and I around the world. Going into planning mode for our big birthday bash in a few weeks, I am left thinking what gift I want to give myself for the special ocassion. I was lucky enough to be spoiled by friends, family and fantastic partners as 2018 came to a close, but now that I’m looking for a gift for me from me. Thankfully my friends at Rogers have got me covered and after the success of our holiday contest with them – all the incredible items we gave away – I am ready to start 2019 off with a few upgrades of my own.
