The positive effects of friendship

Going into the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, a lot of us will start to think about what we are thankful for. For me, the list is long. But I don’t think there is anything, or anyone, that I am more grateful for than Catherine. After twenty years of friendship, we have lived a lot of memories, hairstyles, and moments together.

Friendship is a vital thing in this crazy world, and I couldn’t ask for a better friend!  Continue reading “The positive effects of friendship”

Why Banff holds a special place in my heart

I love being Canadian. I love showcasing the beauty of our country from coast-to-coast, and we have been lucky enough to do that over the years.

I wanted to be the media mogul who never falters. The outlet that never misses a deadline. I wanted to be the success story. The boy who came from a rough life, who made something of himself, that people idolized. The newly blonde bombshell. I wanted to feel sexy again amid a schedule and lifestyle that doesn’t leave me much time to live at the gym for that end game. I wanted to be praised for all of this. I wanted to execute and run a business that made a million dollars in the first year. I wanted to be real with all of you. And to be honest, right now, I don’t think that I’m okay. My birthday is looming and all I can think about is what a failure I feel like. I am not fucking perfect.  Continue reading “This is me.”
