I'm back in Ottawa for the @famnetworkca 5th Annua

I'm back in Ottawa for the @famnetworkca 5th Annual Ball! 🔥 ... my honor to be back for the 2nd time.

This is an incredible organization. The FAM Network fosters animals for people who need to flee domestic/interpersonal/family violence as well as other horrible circumstances, and they allow them to reunite with their pets after the transition. 🐱🐶

When people know their animal are safe, they gain the courage to get out of a terrible environment. They gift people the mental strength to change their lives.

Needless to say, @daynaandherdogs and her team are amazing, and I can't wait for this event on Sat. Nov 18th in Ottawa!

Excited to finally share a glimpse into my journey

Excited to finally share a glimpse into my journey over the last few years... 🤔

Here’s a thought I had watching this back...

When I look at these clips, I’m reminded of the amazing people I got to work with, places I got to explore and lessons that I’ve learned from each show.

When you are working in a ‘gig’ world like me, you don’t have much time to celebrate a “win”, because as soon as it’s done, you’re working on the next one. This is too bad, because even if you get to ‘live the dream’, you aren’t really recognizing it.

I think that this is where burn out happens. Sometimes you need to stop, look back, and celebrate it all. The achievements, the mistakes, the lessons, and the experience itself.

One day, I will move on to something else. But today this is my life and I’m very grateful for it.

Interesting perspective from Eddie Murphy. Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

When you're having more fun than the audience... 🤣

I am so grateful to do what I do! The energy you get back from people is unreal and is indescribable. I think that's why it's so addicting!

Mesmerizing, isn't it? You can't help but to star

Mesmerizing, isn't it?

You can't help but to stare at this and feel something. Wonder? Confusion? Satisfaction?

What was your initial reaction when you saw this?

I thought it was kind of beautiful.

As Confucius put it: "Everything has beauty, but not everyone can see it."

Look around, there is magic all around us in this unbelievable universe. If you look for it. You will find it.
