How To Be Happy (Especially On Mondays)

What do you do when you wake up on Monday morning with an insane feeling of dread? 

In the past, I would freak out and get anxious about putting myself into a negative tailspin. (That, of course, would put me in a negative tailspin!)  Now I know to do something different. I take extra time in my mornings to reorganize my energy and set my intentions for the week.

She had no money and she liked it - with Lilou Mace

I just finished reading I Had No Money And I Liked It: The Abundant Journey Of An Open Heart by Lilou Mace and it is incredible. You can feel her love and pure energy pour out from pages. I devoured this book in 36 hours and I’m pretty sure I will do the same with her prequel, “I Had No Job and I Liked It” later this weekend.  I even stayed up late to read it, which is notable because I’m a stickler for sleeping on time!

My Most Honest Blog Post Yet.

Since I started creating my dream business and posting about what I’m doing on social media, I’ve had many new and old friends tell me that they think what I’m doing is amazing.

My intention with my blog is to share my journey as openly and authentically as possible, with the hopes that when you see what really goes into bringing your vision out into the world, it will give you the courage to start and keep going when it gets tough.

How to keep your sense of awe for life

Yesterday I was in downtown Toronto for a meeting and on my way home, this ordinary moment caught me off guard.  As I walked up the stairs onto the platform, I saw Toronto's Union station in a completely different light.

This time, I looked up, and I saw the blue sky peaking through  open roof. I looked down the train tracks and I could see for miles. I took a big deep breath in and allowed myself to soak in the magnificence of this place. My memories of Italy came rushing back to me.

The Reason You Are Still Alive

Whenever I feel that I am at my wit's end and I seriously need help, I remember this incident in my life. Two years ago, on an epic bus ride from Kigali, Rwanda to Mwanza, Tanzania, I came across my own "guardian angel."

Everything was going wrong on on this bus ride and as night descended, I realized that I could actually die out here...

Are you on the right path in life?

Do you ever feel like you're not "on the right path"? 

We tend to use this phrase "on the right path" loosely, but I've come to realize that this inner nudge is actually our truth! 

It is as if our souls know exactly where they want us to go, who they want us to become and when we have deviated away from that (usually due to fear), our souls start doing things to get your attention.

I trekked all around the world just to find this...

My travels around the world have taught me many things that I couldn't learn commuting in a first-world country.

Growing up in Canada, I always knew that I wanted to explore the world and tell stories. I wanted to be a journalist and a documentary filmmaker. It wasn't until university that I got the chance (and the motivation) to pursue this dream.

Now, when young people hear my story, they often ask me, "Should I travel too?"

I always, always answer, "If you have a desire to travel, do it. It's your soul longing to grow. It means there is something out there for you to learn."

(The question that comes right after, "How did you pay for it? This is my answer.

Where I Found the Courage to Carve My Own Path.

Why do we crave travel? When we strip away the fancy jet planes, french croissants and Facebook airport check-ins, what's that longing to travel? 

I've learned that the desire to travel is the call of your Soul. It's that tiny voice inside that reminds you that there is more to life than what we can see if our First World Bubble. 

I ran into an old friend last week. We hadn't seen each other in over a year and he commented, "I had no idea you wanted to be an entrepreneur," to which I replied, "Neither did I!"
