Hello everyone!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I hope you’ve had an amazing week and an incredible beginning to your autumn. I suspect you can relate, but mine has been incredibly busy. Note that I am not saying this to complain; being busy is a good thing. If I compare it to being bored, I know I’d prefer to be busy. You can re-frame the term ‘busy’ to mean ‘a lot of interesting stuff happening in your life’, which is how I try to look at it. (And no, I am certainly not always successful at doing that!) 😁 But of…

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 weekend to all my fellow Canadians! It feels strange to be celebrating the Canadian Thanksgiving when the weather’s been so warm, but it’s 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. I hope that you all had a great week, and that you took some time to rest and recharge over the weekend. Too often we use the precious weekend time to do all the…

Hello fellow seekers and explorers! 👋🏻👋🏻 I hope that you’ve had an incredible week. My luck turned when I realized I’d caught COVID for the third time. Sigh. It’s feeling like an annual tradition! The good news is that I’m 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 she’s had it, I’ve been fine – and vice versa. 🤷🏼 Anyway, I went for a walk down our quiet private…

Hello!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Me again. I hope you’ve all had an amazing week, recharged on the weekend, and are ready to rip into the new week. If not, maybe it’s a good time to reflect on what is missing in your life. Because “better is always possible.” I am so tired of hearing people blather on about how you should “follow your passion”; it is a dangerous idea. There is a grain of truth to the idea, which is what makes it both so compelling – and so dangerous. It leads to too many people searching…

Hello!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I hope you’ve all had an amazing week. Or at least, a better week than I had (more on this below!). Sometimes the winds of life blow right in your damn face, and things can feel hard. That’s just the way it is! You don’t need to fight back when it’s like that; it is okay to just weather the storm, wait for the headwinds to pass, and conserve your energy for another day. That was me this week. And that is okay! The storm always passes, and we carry on. Hopefully, you can benefit…
