Reflections from the best year of my life

January 2, 2017 No Comments

One year ago I set out on a journey to change my life with the crazy idea to dedicate myself to tackling a new life goal every single month. Now, a year later I sit reflecting upon that journey. What have I learned, what have I lost, what improvements have I really made to my life? I’d like to take this time to share with you some insights that I’ve discovered over my year of adventures, challenges. setbacks and successes....

Stoked to start 2017 off with a bang and I can’t wait to get rolling on Scale My Life 2.0!

The final stop on my #CharityChallenge was volunteering @ the KGH Foundation‘s hospital social enterprises.

Just by volunteering I was able to raise $20/hour towards hospital care projects like their prenatal #GivingGiggles campaign.

My #CharityChallenge took me downtown to the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society to help with their Saturday morning breakfast.

The positive energy from the volunteers was echoed by the smiling faces of those coming in from the cold.

Charity Challenge: A society of Scrooge

December 26, 2016 No Comments

After years of watching A Christmas Carol, I never before realized how much we have become a society of Scrooge. We all spend our lives endlessly striving for better jobs, bigger houses, and nicer toys, all so we can live the fantasy life that we all imagine (just like Scrooge). We are so obsessed with wealth and obtaining more stuff that we have basically become blind to everything (and everyone) else in the world that does not serve that purpose...

Charity Challenge: Small steps to fix the world

The world sucks and so do we It’s easy to look at the world and think the whole place is going to hell in a handbag.
