It’s been just over a week since returning from the big trip around Europe. In that time I’ve seen a bit of sun and a lot of rain. I’ve seen most of my family and friends.

Daily Perspective
Accomable
As lots of you are probably aware, I love to travel! I’ve been really fortunate to be able to travel to some amazing places such as Japan, Spain, the Austrian mountains, Australia and the USA.

Europe Without Barriers: Day 12, 13 and 14 (Arrivederci and Goodbye)
We left the stunning Dolomite mountains with a cumulative fatigue.

This weekend… Continue Reading
Politics, Media and Everyday People
There seems to be such a void between politics, the media and everyday people. All I seem to read, watch and hear is immigrants and disabled people draining our society. Yet the recession, debt and issues we currently face began in financial sectors. Sectors that remain propped up by our government. A little economics 101…. Continue Reading
