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

Me encuentro sentado cómodamente en una silla Acapulco, al lado de la piscina en un bonito hotel del hermoso Pueblo Mágico conocido como Tulum, en Quintana Roo, a solo 40 minutos de Playa del Carmen. 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. Es el 29 de abril de 2018 y mientras nos preparamos tengo un momento reflexivo sobre las mejores decisiones de mi vida y me han llevado a escribir estas líneas.

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.

A sit down with Dr Jessica Langer to talk about her viral positivism

Looking back on 2016, I think the common thread that I hear from friends and family around the world is that the year was a tough one. I can agree with that in some ways, but the way I see the world is also a little different. I could sit down and itemize the things that went wrong, or the hard times I faced, but what purpose would that serve? I like to believe that the lessons I had to learn the hard way have helped me to be a better man and business man. I was planning on writing an end of year post where I look back and thank those people, moments and events that challenged me and have in many ways humbled me. I recently watched an episode of Anthony Bourdain’s “Parts Unknown” where he visited Japan. One of his guests spoke about a local vegetable that only grows in the winter, under a fine layer snow. He said something along the lines that in life, it takes a certain amount of bitterness to appreciate the beautiful. That really stuck with me. But this post isn’t just about me and the lessons I have learnt. It is about Dr. Jessica Langer, and how with one small gesture of kindness, she helped to touch people around the world who needed some goodness in their lives. The beauty to balance the bitterness one might say.  Continue reading “A sit down with Dr Jessica Langer to talk about her viral positivism”
