Sitting down to write something this important is a daunting task. It’s almost surreal to look back at the last five years of my life and realize how blessed I have been in the ability to share it with you all. From the humble beginnings of launching on January 1st 2014 (take a look at my first ever blog post to see what that was like) after learning to navigate the world of blogging as a contributor for FASHIONIGHTS (to this day my favourite blog). All those years ago I stepped onto a path that would lead me to this very moment. And my dear friends, this is the moment when I am sharing with you that I am stepping down as Chief Executive Officer of Do The Daniel Inc. and will be leaving the #DoTheDaniel team.

I Love You. Je T’aime. Te Amo. Ich Liebe Dich. …
It should come as no surprise to you by now that I am a lover of all things love. In all forms, it makes my heart happy. So when I came across the Love is Love is Love campaign and project, I knew it was important to share it with you. Not only because it falls in line with the ideals that I feel define Canada so well, but also because the importance of sharing positivity is more important than ever for me. There is nothing in the world more powerful than love, and we all could use a little more of it in our lives. Continue reading “I Love You. Je T’aime. Te Amo. Ich Liebe Dich. …”
Un Momento Reflexivo Sobre Las Mejores Decisiones De Mi Vida

Los 30º de temperatura de la Riviera Maya despiertan mi necesidad de refrescarme y no decido si hacerlo destapando una cerveza o saltando a la piscina y como no me dan ganas de tomar decisiones tan difíciles, opto por ambas, una seguida de la otra. La vida es eso que pasa mientras tomas decisiones cuando en muchas ocasiones no es necesario hacerlo sino simplemente saber organizarse. Después del chapuzón, regreso a la silla para planear con María si nos vamos a la playa o a comer, o de nuevo, buscar la forma en que ambas actividades se combinen. Menos de 30 segundos han pasado y ya decidimos irnos a comer a la playa.

What the World Needs Now
Oh no! Not a political post. Well, not really. Bear with me. I wanted to share with you the journey my heart went on recently while travelling abroad and how much more connected I feel to human beings after this experience. I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling like the world has been in trouble for a while, but especially since the American election last fall. We are all human yet we stand divided by gender, culture, race, class, sexual orientation, education, finances, fitness levels, marital status, shoe size and a plethora of other factors. Hatred is on the rise. Human beings are being hurt physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually all over the world. The world feels unsafe for so many of us.
