Happy Birthday Dad!

Dad, while I can’t physically be with you to celebrate this monumental birthday, know that I’m right there beside you in thought and spirit.

Who ordered the Apocalypse?

Australian weather is full of surprises. Today we awoke to a colourful weather phenomenon. Dust storms have been making their way through the country. Today’s stop? Sydney. I awoke to whistling winds. As I lay in bed, I looked into the bathroom where I saw an orange glow. Curious and slightly perplexed, I leapt out [...]

Coogee Bay

Well conference season is upon us (upon Chris mostly). So, we just spent two days in Coogee, in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. Chris presented four great sessions  at the IWB Conference.

I’m back at the gym and the goal is to lose 15kg this year (that’s 33 lbs Canadian). [...]

The Magic of the Falls

In among all the holiday bustle, Chris and I managed to fit in a little anniversary celebration. We both wanted to see the Festival of Lights at Niagara Falls, so we pointed our little red sleigh westward and did a pre-Christmas road trip.   If you haven’t been to see the falls in their winter splendor, [...]
