Imagine for a second that science succeeds in copying a person’s consciousness to a computer… and that person is you. Suddenly, you’re face-to-screen with an exact copy of yourself, complete with your exact personality and memories. From this moment on though, you start to diverge, and become your own separate “people.”
What would you say to this copy of you? (more…)
A while back, I wrote a post about five great plants for contemporary home designs. They were edgy, modern-looking plants that fit in well with the clean lines typically found in contemporary homes.
Being out in nature this past weekend really recharged my batteries, and it reminded me of how important greenery is to our sense of well-being. So today, I’ll give you some options for plants that fit nicely into a more traditional home design. (more…)

We often find ourselves so tied up with what’s going on in our own lives that we sometimes forget the impact a little kindness can have on other people. I want to share a story with you that shows what can happen when we remember, and choose to act on that knowledge. (more…)
There’s a rare slice of people out there that are doing exactly what they were born to do, and making money doing it. For those people, they’re working because that’s what they want to do. If they won a million bucks, they’d continue to do what they do.
If you’re like most people though, you work for some other reason. It’s a means to an end, not the end in and of itself. If you won a million bucks, you’d be gone. You’d quit your job to do… what, exactly? We’ve all got goals and dreams; what’s yours? (more…)
This weekend, I spent some quality time with my family. I don’t get to see them as often as I’d like to, but this time we had the opportunity to go out for brunch together. There, I got to do something I haven’t done enough of: savour the moment.
