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.

My new website is up, running and open for business!

Well it’s been just over a week since I got home to my actual home. I left on the 27th of June to head to Brisbane for a training camp prior to the Tokyo Paralympic Games and because of the crash and quarantine I didn’t get home until the 8th of October. That is 3 months and 11 days or 103 days or 148,320 hours where it was all about me.

I often get questions after a talk about how I stay so positive. Well I have always believed that it is better to be positive than negative. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have my negative times, of course I do, but I really don’t like who I am when I am negative. I have found over the years that no one ever likes hanging around with someone who is constantly negative.

As I am writing this blog I am sitting looking out at Batemans Bay in New South Wales on the east coast of Australia. Yes I have escaped the confines of Melbourne. Who would have thought that I would be talking about escaping exactly a year ago when we first went into lockdown! This pandemic has changed the whole world.
