Remember that who you are and what you do today will determine who you are in the future.

As I welcome everyone to the new year and reflect on the past year…well I guess the past couple of years, I can’t help but wonder where the hell they went! Especially 2022 and I’ve come to the realisation that we have all been on fast forward for a year trying to make up for the 2 that seem lost.

No matter what religion you are, I hope that you are having wonderful celebrations at this time of year.

All we hear day in and day out is the negative in the world we live in. Covid, war, climate change, riots, rebellion, crime and the list goes on. Negativity in the world shapes how you look at the world. Negativity sells, just look at the televison, listen to the radio or read the papers.

Have you ever wondered about trying something but were so worried you wouldn’t succeed that you didn’t even give it a go?

Success is different for everyone, no two people are alike.

I have always loved to speak and I’m sure that my mom would tell you that she couldn’t shut me up as a child! But I guess I actually started to speak publicly when I was a police officer in Toronto, Canada.

So for about a year now I have tried to put out a blog each week and I have been very diligent in doing it on a Sunday afternoon. Yesterday was Sunday and I had the typical Sunday for me, a day off from training, some laundry and a bit of a tidy around the house. I must say it was a good day for it because it was cold, wet and windy!
