"In every walk with nature, one receives more than he seeks." -John Muir Rounding out pictures from my Victoria trip. Most of them are from Hatley Castle and it's surrounding gardens, but some are randoms from the day to day adventures. I can't wait to return Victoria. There is so much more I want to see, and an amazing burger joint I'll need to find again. On to life's next adventure :) . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #victoria #castle #ocean #pacific #hatley #hatleycastle #royalroads #royal #leader #goals #legacy #flowers #garden #forest #beyourownbanker #yacht #nature #exploring #exclusive (at Victoria, British Columbia)

"Whenever someone asks me if I want water with my Scotch, I say I'm thirsty, not dirty." -Joe E. Lewis I found myself organising and backing up my pictures from my phone into albums, and found some fun times I just had to share. Better late than never I suppose. The day last year of the pop up private scotch tasting on St. Patrick's Island. Bruichladdich was fantastic at explaining and pairing our meal, even if mother nature did unleash one hell of a downpour. The water formed muddy puddles, tried to collapse our temporary shelter, and in the end, I had to say goodbye to a pair of Allen Edmonds. But I won't forget the experience with fond memories. . . . . . . #bruichladdich #betterlatethannever #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Calgary #yyc #thankful #legacy #rain #leader #scotch #private #exclusive #socialbuttonco #meals #food #music #wine (at St Patrick's Island)

Philanthropy phi·lan·thro·py \fə-ˈlan(t)-thrə-pē\ noun The practice of giving money and time to help make life better for other people 1: goodwill to fellow members of the human race; especially: active effort to promote human welfare 2a: an act or gift done or made for humanitarian purposes b: an organization distributing or supported by funds set aside for humanitarian purposes I stopped by our Calgary office this week, still groggy catching up with work from the "RRSP hangover" with some coffee's for my next meet. It was then I came across a rare sight; I got to see the Regional Director of Freedom 55 Financial getting ready to leave for the presentation of a large donation and equally large cheque for the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation. I'm proud of the spirit of giving back this office holds, from adopting families during the holidays, to working routinely with Inn From The Cold and the Red Cross. Glad to be a member of the team. Sorry Reg, there was no filter that added hair.
After spending a day in Vancouver preparing for a conference on the tax changes next year old friends are found. Dinner at Cardero's, a walk on the waterfront, and drinks at too many places to count. We brake away from a crowd to go listen to a jazz band I heard earlier. Wouldn't you know, the only available table is front row, and the band is great. A bottle of Tantalus, and a the night ends perfectly. #finance #grin #workhardplayhard # (at Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel)
Ladies, I've always heard the perfect man is tall, dark and handsome. We'll have no fear, he does exist. I found this at my mother's and actually laughed out loud. I knew I got my sense of twisted humour from her somewhere.
