We all need a cave. Some quiet space to hideout and tinker. A place that embodies our values; accommodates our toys and tools; fuels our inspiration; silences judgement; and supports us in our failure and success. When others around us acknowledge that need and invest energy and time into one person’s passion it can be a transformative experience. A room is no longer a room. It’s a place to dream and come alive.

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

~ Howard Thurman

Epic day! Grouse Grind. Raven. Deep Cove. Paddleboarding. Old home. Great potential. Beautiful boat. Beach break. Root beer float.

He’s right. We need to redefine leadership and recognize that the change we make in our neighbour’s life is as great and as valuable as the change we make across our seas. With this mindset, we’ll encourage a whole new crop of little leaders ready to embark on solving our local challenges and excited to explore surrounding opportunities. #lollipopmoments #drewdudley

In Vancouver on business this morning. The French novelist Colette immediately came to mind as I perused the sweets! “If I can’t have too many truffles, I’ll do without truffles.” ~  As quoted in Close to Colette by Maurice Goudeket.

In the long run there is no more liberating, no more exhilarating experience than to determine one’s position, state it bravely, and then act boldly. Action brings with it its own courage, its own energy, a growth of self-confidence that can be acquired in no other way.

Well this made me giggle. I greatly appreciate a fine glass of wine though not for consumption. I have yet to acquire a taste for it unlike milkshakes. However, I am genuinely fascinated by winemaking and the combination of art and science that it demands. About a decade ago I planted a Chardonnay in my backyard as an experiment. It took a few years before the grapes arrived but as you can see they are budding!
