My Favourite Concerts
Growing up in small town New Brunswick, I listened to a lot of music that I thought I’d never get to see live. AC/DC, Metallica, Tom Petty, Queen to name a few. My ultimate wish was to see Queen live but over the past 8 years, since moving to Calgary, I’ve been lucky enough to [...]
Continue ReadingHappiness Best When Shared…Really?
I think this famous quote, from the movie Into the Wild, is missing the point. The point of living. Which, to me, is to find and create meaning. I believe that a life of meaning is a life fulfilled. Life isn’t always about being happy. It’s about doing something you’re passionate about but that doesn’t [...]
Continue ReadingClarity of Self
Once you have developed a clarity of self, you can start building the life you want. Clarity of self doesn’t have to be fully developed however, since even a bit of clarity about who you are and what you want is all it takes. Once you have this clarity, you will choose to spend time [...]
Continue ReadingHaving Dreams is What Makes Life Tolerable
This quote, one of many great ones from the movie Rudy, stands out in my mind because to me it defines what life is all about. Having a dream to be somebody, to do something or to go somewhere. What is your dream? Mine is to challenge myself, to do something I’m passionate about, to [...]
Continue ReadingHungry for Change Detox 6 Day Results
As I mentioned in my 3-Day Detox Results post, I decided to extend the detox to 12 days. After another 3 days, so having done the detox for 6 days, I’m feeling great, loving grocery shopping and getting into the habit of preparing my meals. I stuck to the meals 100% and didn’t eat anything [...]
Continue ReadingMy Top 15 Songs As a Teen
As a kid, I grew up listening to my dad’s record collection, buying cassette tapes from Colombia House (11 cd’s for the price of 1) and recording songs off the radio onto cassettes. I still listen to many of these songs, over 15 years later and some of them still remain among my favourites. What [...]
Continue Reading3-Day Hungry for Change Detox Results
I mentioned in my post yesterday that I was going to extend the detox to 10 days (probably 12 since it’s easier to do the detox in groups of 3 days). What I really like about this detox is that it’s creating habits for me to buy groceries and cook. Looking at recipes isn’t that [...]
Continue ReadingDay 2 of 3-Day Detox Update
About halfway through day 2 of the Hungry for Change 3 Day Guided Detox, I decided to extend it to 10 days (they say that you can extend to 7 or 10 days if you’d like). I decided to do this for a few reasons: I feel amazing and I want to keep going I’m [...]
Continue ReadingDetox Day 1: Listening to My Body
What was great about the first day of the detox is that I felt noticeably more clear headed. Eating when you’re hungry and eating clean food made for a great Friday. All of the meals were delicious, I felt great after each one and I even felt like I sweated more easily when I worked [...]
Continue ReadingHungry for Change – 3 Day Guided Detox
It’s neat how the universe gives you signs when you’re on the right path. Wednesday night I got an email from the Hungry for Change website about a 3 Day Guided Detox. I initially subscribed to their newsletter after watching the documentary Hungry for Change… Aside: This documentary, along with documentaries like Vegucated, Food Inc., [...]
Continue ReadingA Story About You
There are a handful of professors who stand out from university but most notable were my 2 philosophy professors. The most recent philosophy course I took was on Consequentialism with Darren Domsky. What struck me about him the most was how comfortable he is with himself. He’s so confident, so sure about who he is and [...]
Continue ReadingMeeting Rob
This will be the first guest blog I’ve posted. I had never really considered allowing a guest post but after meeting Rox a little bit ago, and getting to know her, I felt comfortable having her words on my blog. First of all, she is one of the most real people in my life. She’s [...]
Continue ReadingI Like You…But I Don’t Want to Talk to You…
How many times have you had this happen to you? You write one of your friends a message on facebook. You don’t hear back from them. A week, two weeks, three weeks go by and no reply. Then one day, you post a picture or update your status and your friend, the one you wrote [...]
Continue ReadingWords of Wisdom From Will Smith
This video contains clips of Will Smith from interviews he’s done sharing his advice on life, happiness and learning. What is one piece of advice you’d like to share? Mind would be: find something that you are passionate in and pursue that. Without having something to love and inspire you, life won’t be as fulfilling as it [...]
Continue ReadingYou Don’t Have to Prove Nothing to Nobody Except Yourself
My favourite scene in my favourite movie, Rudy, comes just after Rudy quits the football team before the last practice of his senior year at the University of Notre Dame. One of his mentors, a groundskeeper who helped him out with a job and a place to stay when he first went to Notre Dame, [...]
Continue ReadingI Am the Master of My Fate; I Am the Captain of My Soul
The title of this post, which are the last 2 lines from my favourite poem, Invictus, is what guides my life. I have all the control in my life to do what I want and whatever happens to me is up to me.
Continue ReadingPeace of Mind
I have a hard time quieting my mind sometimes. I spend a lot of time on my own and without it, I don’t feel balanced. Trying to find peace within myself is something I’ve been working on for a long time. I’ve learned what I need to be happy but it’s always good to have [...]
Continue ReadingSix Songs That Were New To Me
The benefit about having XM radio in my car is that I can listen to a variety of music genres very easily and it also means that I get to hear a lot of songs that I normally would never hear of. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been writing down some songs that really [...]
Continue ReadingYou Get What You Give
Be giving of yourself to the person you are with. What you give to them, you will get back. If you give love, you will get love back. If you give hate, you will get hate back. Step out of yourself. Be giving. Be unselfish. Take an interest in what other people are doing. If [...]
Continue ReadingHonesty is the Best Policy…Or is it?
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don’t have to think and can just tell it like it is. The bad thing about telling the truth is that you don’t have to think and can sometimes say too much. So how much is too much? And when should you only tell a [...]
