Howdy folks! If you’re still reading this blog, consider me honored! I’m trying to follow all of your enlightening blogs too, so keep up the great work!

I just wanted to pop in and let you all know that all is generally good. In July, I was back in Banff and Canmore for some exciting video production work and was fortunate enough to be able to visit with some close friends and family in both Calgary and Edmonton as well. It seemed like such a short trip, and it was so great to see everybody, especially finally meeting the little cutie, Ciara Ann Moynihan! I’m already missing her and those awesome parents she has! Hopefully, I’ll get a chance to visit everybody again soon!

Destiny has been guiding me very interestingly this year (when isn’t it?) but there’s been some very solid constants in my life too. I’m thankful to have some amazingly close, supportive friends and family out here and back in Alberta, a few interesting projects to challenge me, and the breathtaking B.C and Alberta scenery to explore.

Life is also directing some absolutely positive energies and wonderful people into my life and that is what excites me the most. It’s great to be in the same city again with two of the most awesome hombres from my Edmonton days. They’re both extremely creative people who I can chat with for hours. John and Malcom: thanks for making me feel like I’m at home here and hanging out with the best and the brightest!

Between reconnecting with my Vancouver pals and all the new friends I’ve made here, I’m really feeling even more welcome in this vibrant city. Much appreciation goes to Ron (you creative low-stress genius), to Nis and Jessica for opening their hearts and introducing me to such an amazing soul, to Matt, Paul and the rest of the Z2H crew for introducing me to the Vancouver working atmosphere, and to Sebastien for some great career guidance and life insight.

And, of course, big hugs and many cheers to Andrea and Jakenator for making me smile again, laugh so hard until my cheeks and sides ache and for making me feel like Vancouver really is the place to call home.

I’m actually working on some new posts from home base here in Vancouver, so there will hopefully be more insightful content, stories, photos and links for you all. I’m just trying out WordPress for the iPhone to create this post actually and it should allow me to do some more posts remotely. Though I’m sure I’ll have to do a few corrections on the computer, but it looks like it will work.

While you wait for some more posts, follow me on Twitter or look at some of the photos I’ve been snapping during this year’s adventures on my Flickr photostream. A small sampling of the photos are below.

Be well and stay positive!
