Remembrance day ceremony moves me to tears
In Canada, we celebrate the end of World War II with ceremonies across the country on November 11, at the 11th hour of the day. This year was a huge turnout at our Memorial Cairn on Gabriola. I spoke with some of the survivors and veterans of the War this week and was moved to […]
Walking Dead spoiler
Breathing a sign of relief after hearing about Season Seven Episode One of my favorite tv series. I like the show so much that I’m thinking of dressing up as a walker for Halloween, and I’m not a dress-up person. If only we had cable with AMC. I’ll have to wait all year for the […]

Sitting down with a Tibetan monk
Today I had the rare privilege of talking with a Tibetan monk. I’m not sure if I’ve ever met anyone who I’ve thought seemed “holy” but today I got to experience a little bit of being with someone who seems to transcend age, the troubles of our times and sees what is most important, kindness […]

I am a huge Justin Bieber fan
This only started in November 2015 with the release of Justin Bieber’s Purpose album. I downloaded all the popular songs and now I’m finding more. Particularly, “I’ll Show You,” which has a cool 193 million views. This kid is crazy. So much talent and I am so in awe of how he writes and creates music […]
