PROUD ALLIES FOR ALL

With #PrideMonth in full force, I am going to be sharing a lot of #Pride content with you all over the next month. Both because I am proud of who I am as a gay man, but also to be a voice for my community and those communities often muted in the world for their differences.

I feel, now more than ever, it is important to remember that the first pride was a riot. That our community has taken a long time to get to where we are. And it is with partners and allies that we will continue to thrive and share our ability to be Proud. Rainbow washing happens a lot at this time of year – the idea of throwing a rainbow on a product to make a quick buck while not actually being an ally at all. So all I can say right now is educate yourself on the brand before giving them your dollars. Or come to trusted members of the LGTBQ+ and ask us. So, without further fuss, let’s talk about a brand that is and has always supported us and our ability to express who we are.

Celebrate #NationalCocktailDay With My Favourite New Cocktail!

It’s no shock that when I can get creative with cocktail recipes, I will. But that being said I realize that many people might be intimidated by the idea of making themselves their favourite drink while they #StayHome. Thankfully my love of DISARONNO is back and better than ever – and this recipe is so easy, you’ll be shocked at how good it is!

Take A Minute and #ListenMore

We are living in a world where everyone has a voice and a way to express it. But now more than ever, I’m realizing that instead of talking and expressing myself so much, I should be listening to things that inspire me. It sounds counter intuitive, I know, but maybe it’s time to talk less and listen to ourselves and our instincts more.

A New Way Of Seeing Things

I woke up this morning and had a bit of an epiphany about my career as a blogger. Over the years, especially as a small business owner, I’ve had to often follow my instincts or guess when it comes to major decisions.

With little to no guidance, and being that I’m an emotional person, in doing so this process led me to make some mistakes. From reactionary tweets (we’ve all been there), to knee jerk reactions to feel as though I’d been wronged, I think we all understand that it is when we make mistakes that we learn the most about ourselves.

But amid the current reality we all live, maybe it’s time to accept that the past is behind us, and it’s time to move forward with a new sense of compassion and understanding. That’s how I’m trying to see the world and be with myself, my family, and the blog.
