I am writing this from my motel room in Toronto. Tomorrow morning I fly out to Costa Rica for a 3-week volunteer mission. Just typing that out feels weird to me. I can’t believe this day is here and I’m actually really doing this. I’m still in a teeny bit of shock. I’m finally doing…
The gym I used to go to in Sudbury had a huge logo, or mural, painted clear across the 40 foot wall (I think it was 40 feet, what do I know?). It said Achieve Legendary Greatness. I absolutely loved seeing and reading that. It excited me. I needed to stop being mediocre. I needed…
Get out of your own way! Get out of your comfort zone! Stop flatlining! Get a grip for God’s sake! How many times have you heard that? Maybe some of you have never heard that and have no clue what I’m talking about. Get out of your own way. What way? What does she mean?…

I love road trips. Picture the excitement of a 5-year-old on Christmas morning and that’s how I am when someone mentions a road trip. I’m the first one out the door and ready to roll. Most road trips are balls-to-the-wall fun. This one was terrifying. So much so, at one point I feared for my…
People come and go. Some friends stay and some fade away into the sunset. Everyone comes into our lives for a reason. Lessons, right? They are our teachers.
