After you’ve watched this, please comment. I would very much like to know your thoughts. ‘The Lost Generation’ was created by [...]

Hello All, I hope the Christmas season left you with tons of fantastic memories that made you smile, brought warmth to your heart, or made you laugh allot. My Christmas left me with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. So as I usually do between Christmas and NYE, I want to take a couple of minutes [...]

Do you or someone you’re close to have a habit of “talking trash” about other friends and family members? Whether griping about how annoying Uncle Marvin is or remarking on what a hypocrite sister Susan is, some people can’t seem to help but constantly focus on the flaws of others. It may seem like harmless venting, but it usually only has a negative effect on everyone– the one talking, the one listening, and the one being talked about. There’s nothing uplifting about criticizing and judging others.

Well Sean Stephenson put’s that little engine to shame and now he’s got a new television show premiering Sunday that needs our support.  It’s called “3 Foot Giant” staring Sean Stephenson.  If you haven’t yet heard of Sean, he’s a living example of the limitless possibilities of the human spirit.  Sean’s 3ft tall, has broken 200 [...]

A very happy and warm birthday to my first sister in law.

Hello all, Just a quick note to bring you up to speed on my Mom’s progress. Four weeks ago my Mom was released from the rehab hospital after her lung transplant in June. So that is very good news! Just before that I decided to come back to Ontario for a couple of weeks to [...]

Yes I do mean Gwyneth Paltrow. What reason would I have to thank such an auspicious and popular woman? I am thankful for her love and support of her partner Chris Martin. Without her support, love, and acceptance of Chris’s situation, role, and his gift. We would not have had the pleasure of attending the [...]

For some time now I have been contemplating many deep questions and topics. One of the grandest ofthem is how an individual (such as myself) views ones self in relation to others and the world around us. Moreover how can one person create a positive and lasting impact on the world around us. To this [...]

A direct experience. I had another one this morning. What is it? Well I can’t really put it into words. I can however tell you the circumstances leading up to it and my thoughts afterward. It happened this morning while riding the subway in Toronto. But it was not the situation or the place but [...]

THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart… THANK YOU! With your help I reached 80% my goal of raising $5,000 in support of the Alberta Cancer Foundation. This money is going directly towards the fight to end this disease. If you have a moment watch this video that was shot at last weekends ride [...]

Please take a moment and watch this video that was shot last weekend at the BC Ride. It was truly moving. This IS why we ride. Chad R.I.P. Finn, Pam, and all those who have died because of this disease. Livestrong Logan, Greg, Brett… To the rest of us… Ride On! A Tribute to the [...]

Do you remember when I first posted that I’d committed to raising $5,000 and riding over 200 kilometres for The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting the Alberta Cancer Foundation? Well the ride is less than 24 hours away and I am actually getting pretty nervous. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t 100% sure I could get [...]

Hi All, When you truly love something, it makes it a whole lot easier to practice. But I have to admit that even though I am passionate about cycling, training for an over 200 kilometre ride is a tough call. But I am determined to see this through. I really want to be a part [...]

As many of you already know in just a few short days from now I will be participating in a major 2-day cycling event called The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting the Alberta Cancer Foundation. In just a week from today I will be cycling over 200 kilometers along the Majestic Canadian Rockies, with thousands [...]

I recently made a series of self discoveries. One of which was my lack of putting my self out there these past few years. Not like that! I meant really committing to doing something for the betterment of our world, for others. The first step was swallowing my pride and realizing that I may just [...]
