Everyone tells me that they think I should write more often. They seemed to really enjoy my journals. And to be honest, I enjoyed writing them. I just wish I could remember to sit down for a few minutes each day and actually focus on writing. You know the old clicé… life just seems to get in the way. I know it’s a bad excuse.

I felt more motivated today re-visit my journal because of an epic event which came to an end today. My friends, Steven Feigenbaum and Dan Bowen plunged into the Pacific Ocean in San Diego after completing their 3000 mile rollerblade journey across the U.S. It sure brought back some memories as I followed their trip via facebook. The coolest part was when my phone rang in the morning and it was the guys! They just wanted to give me a shout to let me know they were approaching the final destination.

Congrats guys!

You may recall in y last post (yes it was almost a year ago) I made a comment about following my life path which seemed to be taking me towards the health industry. Well, I was fortunate to have a brief period of employment with a natural food distributor. It was a good experience, but it really made me realize that I do not enjoy being an employee. I think my calling is to be self-employed and to help as many people as I can.
Well, the very day I left that employer, an opportunity presented itself to me in the form of education. The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition had a single opening. I seized the chance! What a day! In the morning I was walking out of an office building with no really idea of what to do. And that evening I was sitting in a classroom listening to a teacher lecture about the fundamental of holistic nutrition. If you had asked me the day before what I thought I’d be doing the next evening, I would never have guessed I’d be a student again!

So that gives you a little bit of info about where I’m heading now. I had written before about not going back to school to become a doctor. Well, I’m not going to become a doctor, but I will be a Registered Holistic Nutritionist in a few months! I’m very excited to finish school and begin practicing and teaching people about easy ways they can change their food and lifestyles to improve their overall health.

Watch out Vancouver! My wife and I are going to take this city by storm!
