I am definitely an animal lover. Maybe it’s because I love caring for creatures who need our help, and who in turn, love us unconditionally. Today I’m throwing it back to the day I met little Bentley, around six and a half years ago. Needless to say, he’s not so little anymore!
I love meeting the local snuggly wildlife while I’m travelling. There is something about being with animals that brings you right into the moment. The bustle of a busy morning or the to-do list for the rest of your day fades away, and all you can think about is exactly where you are and what … [Read more…]

Do you ever do something that you know isn’t right, just to get attention? I did it a lot as a kid, and I catch myself doing it even now as a grown man. When you learn something as a child, it stays with you forever, engrained in your subconscious. It takes real effort to … [Read more…]
#ThrowbackThursday to a gorgeous day golfing. I love golfing. As a child, I wasn’t allowed to participate in many sports, as my parents would not have been able to afford to replace a prosthetic leg if I had damaged it.
