I admit it – I am not the brightest bulb in the toolbox. In 2020 and 2021, as I was imploring people to stay active, continue connecting with people, and to think twice about lining up for new vaccines, I was ridiculed and attacked by many. I was given all of these lovely titles and more in online discussions: idiot, moron, loser, conspiracy theorist, killer, murderer. On numerous occasions, I had people in my network ask...

It is time to demand more from your brain. I believe that most people in my LinkedIn network are fairly intelligent. Yet far too many are led down the garden path by news media organizations, politicians, and other influential officials. For example, many believe that they are well informed because they are followers of such popular news sources as the New York Times, the Economist, the Globe & Mail, the Times of London, and the Telegraph.

On April 8 of this year, a total solar eclipse will be witnessed in many parts of Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Dubbed “The Great North American Eclipse” by some in the media, the hype brought me down memory lane … August 21, 2017, was still a sunny day when I pulled two cereal boxes out of my kitchen pantry, stuffed one plastic interior bag into the other, and cut a small rectangle out...

If you are like me and you have finally taken down the Christmas lights and have a back-to-school week under your belt, you might just now be thinking about new year’s resolutions. If you are like me, this thinking might happen while scrolling through social media posts when you should be at the gym, knowing you have a piece to write about new year’s resolutions but choosing instead to eat the last three brownies, fold...

(Warning: content may be deemed discriminatory) In October, I was shocked to read that the Canadian Human Rights Commission had declared Christmas to be discriminatory. Like many thoughtful consumers of the news today, I read the three-word headline, let my emotions run wild, and cursed the idiocy of “them” before moving to the next piece of click-bait. But now, a month into the Christmas season and having had some time to reflect on Christmases past, I...

Birthday gift...
