On December 19, 2011 I was sitting in my condo in Winnipeg, Manitoba contemplating my future. Fast forward three weeks and here I am sitting in someone else's home in Calgary, Alberta.

One of those songs is called Blessed. Here are a few lines of the song. I have been blessed And... Continue Reading →
This past December I boarded a plane and flew around the world to New Zealand and Australia. I spent most of my time on an organized tour in New Zealand.
