It’s September 20th and my birthday! So … I’m taking a day off.

This means I’m sitting in my comfy chair right now, sipping on a cardamom laced espresso and watching the skyline. I’ll think about life and random things. 

 Remember this:

empathy and compassion aren’t signs of weakness. 

compromise isn’t a dirty word.

 opposing fascism and speaking out against it is a sign of strength.   

And yes, this really is a self portrait. Honest! Would I lie to you? 

Last year I highlighted another, much more famous Canadian – Guy Lafleur.
