The Future is Now and Here is Why

I found myself scrolling through my phone the other day and admiring some photos I had taken of Julio, Canela and I over the last few years. While enjoying this stroll down memory lane, I also one day clicked on the #DanielsDish hashtag on Instagram and saw what a “good photo” used to be – cringe worthy by today’s standards, but it was cutting edge back then. Quickly, I realized how far we’ve come when it comes to mobile device cameras and technology in general.

Had you told me ten years ago that I would be excited about the launch of smart home devices and mobile phones, tablets and ear buds, I might not have believed you. But the future is now and those things have me more excited than ever! Let me tell you why.

There is so much buzz happening around the city that it’s hard not to! Having witnessed the grand opening of Toronto’s hottest new restaurant from afar, I can say with absolute certainty that it is a part of our upcoming trip to the city for an extended long weekend. We are so excited that I simply had to take the time to tell you about it so you can enjoy it ASAP too!

Okay okay, I have to admit the title is a bit click bait-y, even for me. But after recently hitting the one year mark living in Ottawa again after ten amazing years in Toronto, I have to admit it’s not the city I once knew. Over the last few years Ottawa seems to have propelled itself forward in exciting ways, has developed distinct and incredible neighborhoods, and has me a bit flabbergasted at how cool its become. Let me tell you why!

An Origin Story So Wild, It’s Basically Magic

Well hi friends! It’s been a little while since we last sat down together. With a new job, a changing season, working through personal struggles and accomplishments, life got busy as they say. Not to mention I am itching to revamp the look and feel of the blog but I need to find someone to help me with that. I guess that’s where I’ve been – and for many of you the feeling is mutual. Like stepping back into the wilderness and navigating the beauty and danger of it all. Let’s focus on the beauty for a moment, shall we? The excitement of the unknown, the path less traveled and the beauty of the journey can be quite soothing for the soul.
