I’ve always been happy in the ocean. The power of the waves and being at their mercy is amazing. Today I got to share my happy place with someone I love. My parents have always been ocean people. Before I was born they were prize-winning windsurfers. They sailed between New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. […]

This time of year is a reminder of the love of the people around me. I get to spend time with the people I am closest too. We are really lucky to have these people around us. Life doesn’t suck…because I have the love of the people around me. I spent a good chunk of […]
Tonight we received great customer service at our favourite new gelato shop. The owner of the shop is a great example of customer service. He’s someone that other business owners should strive to be like. Life doesn’t suck…because I like receiving great customer service. I’m a firm believer that when doing business these days your […]
It’s the last Friday before Christmas and because of my pride in my work I have stayed at work till 9pm tonight. It made me feel good knowing that I’d done a quality job. This means that the client will be getting my best work. Life doesn’t suck…because I have pride in my work. I […]
I can feel the light at the end of the tunnel approaching. I’m coming to the end of the hardest year I’ve had in business. I’ve learnt a lot and I’m looking forward to the next year because I feel like it’s going to be good. Life doesn’t suck…because there is always a light at […]
