I spent yesterday celebrating my 47th birthday with friends. Feeling happy, healthy and more energetic and vital now that I ever did in my 20’s and 30’s.
At the same time a very special person sang to his fans for the last time. This man is now spending his final days on earth with family and friends and reflecting on a life that will not go on like mine will.
Sometimes I come home at night and I say to myself : “Wow! I totally maxed out today. I got so much out of it!”
I love days like that and I love weeks like that too. Looking back on this week, I feel a sense of pride. I exhibited at the Toronto Gift fair for four days, I kept up with my social media posts, got everything in place for our upcoming BIG Sweet 16 glamjulz birthday bash, had a productive meeting with 2 amazing entrepreneurs in the community that I am teaming up with (more on that (more…)

When my Dad came to Canada from Germany he made us a home. He hadn’t met Mom yet and my brother and I were just a twinkle in his eye but he already started preparing for the future. That was my Dad.
He found a farm house up north and made his first investment at 23 years of age.
