A journey into minimalism, meditation, being a dad and living a simpler life.
In previous posts I've mentioned my desire to build a consistent habit of waking up early and so far to date I haven't been able to do it successfully. In January I was able to do it a bit, but it was never consistent and I was also trying to do too much. Not only... Continue Reading →
A few months ago I heard of a guy called Wim Hof through one of the podcasts I regularly listen to. I was interested about this guy they call "The Iceman", so I started to do some research. Days later I was practicing the Wim Hof method. The Wim Hof method is essentially some breathing... Continue Reading →
I love books. I've been a bit of a bookworm for most of my life and I've amassed quite a collection of books. For the most part though I would read the book once, or sometimes not at all, and then it would sit on the bookshelf collecting dust. There was 2 large bookshelves full... Continue Reading →
In a previous post where I summarized my 30 days as a vegan, I mentioned that I didn't think a long-term vegan diet was for me. I've recently changed my mind on that for a few reasons and I've been eating a mostly plant-based diet for a while now. I'm not quite a full time... Continue Reading →

A lot of the information I was reading and listening to was talking about aligning your life with your values and cultivating your passions. That's great, but what exactly are my...

I recently finished up my 30 days as a vegan and I can definitely say it was a positive experience. I learnt quite a lot over those 30 days, it's re-framed the way I now think about food and going forward, my decisions around the food I eat will be different. The first 10 days... Continue Reading →
A few months ago our beautiful blue heeler, Harvey, passed away. We found out he had lymphoma a couple of months before that and we were able to manage it with medication for a while, but his health eventually declined. Having to make the decision to say goodbye was one of the hardest things I've... Continue Reading →
