The past few weeks have been tough (for lack of a better word) and I spent the majority of the weekend going back and forth on whether or not to even write this post. I was very sheltered growing up. My parents protected my brother and me from the evils of the world by creating…

Amor fati…
Three weeks ago I was approached to be a guest on a podcast series launching this summer. Naturally I screamed yes before actually thinking it through (and yes I am well aware that saying yes on impulse may one day be my downfall); but I was excited about the project and downright stoked to be…
SclScn 2.0
If you follow me on Instagram, then you likely already know that I have decided to re-launch SclScn. When I initially created this site, I was just starting to figure out who I was and what would fulfill me as I navigate my way through life. This blog has been a platform for every emotion…
The art of gratitude
I’m a big fan of birthday’s… in fact, they’ve always been my favourite thing to celebrate. Birthday’s represent significant beginnings (from the moment you take your very first breath and every milestone and achievement you experience thereafter). As such, I’ve always used my birthday as a time to reflect on the past, reassess my priorities…
The art of trusting
There’s been a lot of chatter regarding my last blog post so please treat this as a continuation piece. I get it, you all have questions – Who is Mr Nike Store? Why don’t you seem to have trust issues? Let’s talk about trust (and not talk about my avoidance of the very popular question…
The art of healing
I always seem to put this blog on the back burner when life gets busy; but as the 4th quarter of 2018 rapidly approaches, this seemed like an appropriate time to re-engage with you, my digital friends. Intro: In the past, I’ve unapologetically used this blog as a digital note pad. Some of you have…
Somebody like me
When someone has cancer, you know about it. Lance Armstrong, Patrick Swayze, Andy Whitfield, Larry King, Ben Stiller, Janice Dickinson, Erin Andrews, Jane Fonda; all of whom were comfortable enough to be vocal about their battles and experiences (while the world watched, supported and sent prayers). Yet society still brushes off depression and anxiety, making…
Feelin’ kinda fly…
Two months ago, I willingly jumped out of plane for the first time and it was the most incredible thing I’ve ever done. Huge shoutout to my amazing instructor, Carlos, and videographer, Alex, for making my first skydiving experience so spectacular! Full video:
What’s that, FACTS?!
It probably took the average person less than two minutes to read my last post (which was really a top level summary of the last 365 days of my life); and it was recently brought to my attention that a few people have taken great offence to that specific post. FYI, this will be the…
How would you live if you weren’t afraid?
The absence of an experience has always been my greatest fear and for most of my adult life, I’ve structured my entire belief system and justified my actions based on this fear. I defined my success through rigid, self imposed forms of measurement and felt serious anxiety whenever I felt like I was off track…
Great Expectations
Most humans have a strong desire to leave behind a significant legacy and this is especially true in my friendship circle. As amazing as it is to acknowledge that our hearts are in the right place, there’s been a major tactical error on our part and it’s the direct result of our society’s obsession with…
There’s science, logic, reason, and then there’s love
Someone once told me that my former partner would never be able to love me the way I deserve to be loved. He told me it was evident in my energy, my behaviour, but most of all in my soul. When he said it I brushed it off, after all, what did he know? He…
