Had a great CAPS meeting tonight that involved 4 people in my living room, one person on the cordless speaker phone and another on skype. It was a little crazy with a bunch of speakers (experts) speaking over each other but we pulled it off and shared a ton of great ideas!
Check out this site for all kinds or healthy living tips ” Marks Daily Apple“.
I will be speaking on the Adventure of Risk Management at the Avalon Northeast Rotary Club tonight. I plan to get some video with my new camera, perhaps I will get something on You Tube.
I had a great chat on my run last night with a guy who drives a snow plow for the city. A few people know this is one of my dream jobs that I would like to do for a week. What’s your dream job you would like to do for a week?
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
In the past week I had three very exciting celebrations. I got engaged, had my 35th Birthday and then there was Christmas. It has been a world win week of family time and celebrations. The engagement is just starting to kick in as the wedding planning discussion and questions start to evolve. It has been amazing to share the news over Facebook. I have heard from so many friends offering well wishes that would have taken ages for me to connect with everyone to get the word out. Say what you want about social networking but it undeniably has the ability to reach out to our network like never before.
I have purchased a new video camera and plan to start posting some video blogs with personal updates and tips on Living More!
I truly hope you have been able to spend some quality time with family and friends this holiday season.

When I finished university I remember thinking, tank goodness I got all of that learning out of the way and now I can go on with my life playing and making money.
Little did I know that was just the start of my education. It has been said the best way to learn something well is to teach it. Perhaps that is why I am so good at camping!
I am now a firm believer that investing your own money in continuing education will most likely give you the best return on investment these days.
I have just returned from the Canadian Professional Speakers Convention in Calgary where I have learned a ton of information on the business of speaking professionally. With in a week of returning I am already starting to see the payoff of attending this amazing conference.
Ask yourself today “how will I invest in my own education this year.” Many employers with cover some of the cost to attend professional development seminars but if they don’t using your own money will likely be an excellent investment.
Clearing out the clutter in your head starts with cleaning up your office. Look around your office are there any empty dishes, paper to be sorted, 10 old posted notes, files on the floor because your desk space is already full? How can you expect to think clearly if your work space isn’t clear?
There are actual health and psychological benefits of a clean, uncluttered desk and there is even a name for it: Irritable Desk Syndrome
As stated on the SixWise.com website “IDS is caused by working long hours at a cluttered desk, often with poor posture. The combination can lead to both physical and mental symptoms, including chronic pain, and loss of productivity.”
I would encourage you to take 10 minutes before each working day to do a little tidy up; you will feel much better and may even be more productive.

Studies show that if you don’t particularly like your work, the odds are exceedingly slim that you’ll ever excel at it, no matter how hard you strive. I believe this is why NOLS instructors as so good at their job.
Hope you love your job or are on the way to finding a job you love.
