How are you? It's almost the end of May, and that weather is starting to get gorgeous here in Toronto!!!
I have a question for you today, if you are given a chance to do anything, what can you do, and what will you do?
I was recently asked to do an engraving job, where I got to engrave this message on a bracelet.
"Possum et ego", which meant "I can and I will".
The lady who hired me wanted to gift this to her friend, who is about start his business. It encapsulates the drive, the hunger, the guts, plus having the energy carry you forward during low points in life.
But engraving this bracelet wasn't the highlight for me.
The highlight was getting a chance to chat with my client afterwards!
I got to find out more about what she does for work, what she's been doing during this down time, and then for some reason, we started to talk about her interests, her dreams, and the potential of starting something that interest her...!
So I also want to ask you! What about you? What are you interested in? What can you do? And what will you do?
It is definitely a set of loaded questions!
But let's pause for a second, let's reflect on what's happening in your life right now. What are some high points? What are the low points?
Are you happy with your life? Are you just satisfied with it? Or have you sort of given up and said, it is what it is?
If you're happy with your life, congratulations!! I'd love to hear what's been happening in your life! Reply this message and share it with me! I want to celebrate with you!
If you're only in the satisfied, or you feel that "it is what it is" camp... May I suggest a book to you?
This is a book I read 2 years ago, and I recommend this book to EVERY. SINGLE.PERSON
It's called "Stop Saying You're Fine" by Mel Robbins!
I shared this with my client, and thought I'd really want to share this with you!
This is my highly recommend must-read book, so if you can get your hands on it, give it a try!
Let me know what you think!
How are you? Another week of "Social distancing" is over!! Are you staying at home? Or do you need to go to work?
I found this one funny! So just wanted to share!
I personally need to go to work, because I work as a radiation therapist (we use radiation to treat cancer patients). And to be honest, I am scared about it. The main thing I'm concerned about is I may catch this, and pass it onto our son. I really wish I can stay home!
At the same time, I am not going to dismiss how difficult it is for those of you who are staying home either! Whether you are staying home, or having to go out to work, IT IS HARD. Kudos to all of you!
And to end this email, for those of you who haven't watched it, let's get a good laugh out of it, I find this one HILARIOUS!
Stay safe!

PS, How are you feeling? And I'm serious about this question, because I know some of you may be happy you're home, but some of you may be depressed/upset/devastated. If you need anyone to talk to, please reach out and send me a message!
Or if you just want to talk but don't know what to say, let me know what do you miss the most now that you're staying home!
What I miss the most is going out to eat and walk around the mall! Even though I don't usually buy anything, it's still nice to go to the mall to walk around. What about you?
