Hello everyone! ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป I insist on getting outside during my lunch break for a walk as often as I can (even when the weather doesnโt cooperate). Not only does it feel great to move my body, exposing myself to nature, but these walks also let ideas bubble up. There is something about movement while being outside that gets my creative juices flowing. During one of these walks one day this week, I remembered Halloween was right around the corner. Halloween represents the transition from harvest…

Hey everyone!!! ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป Not sure about you, but it has been a hectic week for me! ๐ฅ But that is just the way life goes sometimes; things happen in cycles. Trying to fight your way out of it isnโt always the most effective way; sometimes you just need to go with the flow. Make the time for the most important things, and learn to let some stuff go. Itโs a key skill to have in todayโs working world, but it is never easy. Anyway, hereโs the usual 3 things for you: A brief article; this week…

Happy Thanksgiving ๐ฆ weekend to all my fellow Canadians! It feels strange to be celebrating the Canadian Thanksgiving when the weatherโs been so warm, but itโs an amazing time of the year. The leaves are just exploding with vibrant colours right now, and the bugs are mostly gone, making it even more enjoyable to be out in nature.

Hello fellow seekers and explorers! ๐๐ป๐๐ป I hope that youโve had an incredible week. My luck turned when I realized Iโd caught COVID for the third time. Sigh. Itโs feeling like an annual tradition! The good news is that Iโm doing okay; each bout seems to be less damaging than the one before it. This is the only area where my wife and I are out of synch; we never get it at the same time. Each time sheโs had it, Iโve been fine – and vice versa. ๐คท๐ผ Anyway, I went for a walk down our quiet private…
