See the world through my eyes and I'll see it through yours
So you all know that I am a follower of Jesus also known as a Christian. My Christian journey is often like that of the prodigal son - often ungrateful and self serving and sometimes like Oliver Twist - always asking for more. This post is my ongoing attempt to chronicle/count my blessings (highlights only) [...]
So i'm going to be officially past mid thirties in a few days. Just that thought sent me into re evaluating my life. I started thinking about where I was in life, if I was happy and what more I desired. I realized that in the last few years, I had been so focused on [...]
My 2020 vacation was officially on. Although Corona had tried with all its might to get me to stay home, closeted and afraid, I was finally going to another province and city for a good 10 days. This next blog series will be about my fantastic vacation in British Columbia. First stop - Revelstoke. My [...]
One question that inevitably finds it way to my conversations with potential mates (guys) is "do you like to cook?" For some, this would be a straightforward answer, either Yes or No. But for me, it's a little complicated, or at least I make it out to be. You see, I grew up the first [...]

We decided to stay at Banff and commute to our other destinations from there. As the world is still on high alert due to the pandemic, we knew that most of the value adding services of hotels like the gyms, pools, hot tubs and housekeeping will be unavailable for use, so we called our hotel [...]
I was finally visiting Yoho National park. With it being so close to Alberta and often depicted by instagram famous photographers, I was going to go there and have the best day ever, which meant nice pictures. On a side note, I recently tried to evaluate why I liked taking pictures so much. I am [...]
Yayyy, the national parks are open!! With the Alberta economy taking a beating due to the fluctuating price of crude oil, the province decided to open up the national parks, probably to increase spending and to keep us wander lusting Albertans sane.
