Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

Mother Nature's beauty can be seen all around you. All you need to do is open your eyes and you'll be able to see the true magic she is able to create. But nature is only what you perceive it to be, is it not? As Gustave Flaubert put it, "There is no truth. There is only perception." How do ...

Moon Rising Above the Himalayas

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

As the moon began rising above the Himalayas, the sun welcomed it warmly by casting its final rays of the day to highlight the moment.

It was a truly serene moment. Right before the dawn the moon decided it had better sneak away as the sun was supposed to arrive any moment. But, lucky for us, it was caught right as it was setting behind Lassen Peak in Lassen Volcanic National Park. Now, the locals know moments like these happen only once in a blue ...

Is Love Strong Enough to Bridge the Gap?

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Many times we've been led to believe love can heal most any wound. That it can mend a broken heart, it can bring families back together, it can make someone's life worth living.

Standing high above the clouds over Rio de Janeiro, his arms outstretched to the world. His warmth and message of peace spread across the land.

Whenever you need it, it's there. Just remember there is always hope. Even in our darkest hours, the golden light of hope forever shines. Sometimes you simply have to open your eyes and look around.

Dreaming of Das Matterhorn

Sunday, February 20th, 2011

Last night I had one of the clearest dreams I've had in a long time. I was dreaming of Das Matterhorn. I wasn't daring to scale it or even attempting to get too close. I was simply admiring it from afar. A beautiful mountain peak standing tall and strong in the distance, perched high above the Swiss Alps. A sight ...

Doing a Little Snowshoeing in New Brunswick

New Brunswick in the winter is about as white as you can get. There's always snow, snow, snow everywhere you look. Needless to say, that's why we love our skiing and snowmobiling. But this winter we decided to venture out for a "tougher" activity. We're going to do a little snowshoeing this winter. Oh come on guys! Wait up! You ...
