POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Three weeks ago, I joined a small group of writers to facilitate a workshop for inmates at the Mission Institution. It was a reunion of sorts, as I’d visited the facility in 2022 to meet a book club of inmates who were discussing my sophomore novel — three of the workshop participants remembered me from that first visit. The wiriting that came from this workshop was alive with emotion, humanity, and humour.

Two days later, we read the inmates’ work at the Word Vancouver festival before a packed audience, pictured above. It was an honour to help these writers draw from their creative well and express themselves freely in an environment of such constraint, then share their words with people on the outside.

This program is a bridge between worlds, reminding everyone involved—from the writers to event audiences—that we are all human, with a shared hunger for connection and meaning. I could feel empathy and humanity expand at both the workshop and reading event. What a powerful experience.

Writing from the inmates and facilitators will be published in an anthology from Anvil Press next year. Look out for it.

Special thanks to Kaile Shilling for organizing this program with such heart, as well as to Bonnie Nish and Pandora’s Collective for helping to bring it to life.

Hugs to my fellow facilitators: Nicola Harwood, Lindi Nolte, and Patrick Keating.

A luxury river cruise through France with art classes onboard 🎨✨.

This is a Rhône river cruise from Avignon to Lyon, combined with structured, professional art sessions throughout the journey 🚢.

You’re travelling through Provence on a boutique luxury ship, with daily guided instruction from a professional artist 🖌️. These aren’t casual workshops you’re learning real techniques, working with proper materials, and creating pieces inspired by what you’re seeing.

Between sessions, it’s everything you expect from a luxury river cruise: river-view suites, elegant lounges, panoramic decks, and exceptional food and service 🍷🍽️.

This is for travellers who want more than sightseeing a creative, immersive experience that adds something meaningful to the trip 🎨🌟.

If you’re looking for a luxury river cruise in France with a unique focus, this is one of the most distinctive options available.

Message me for dates and availability.

Strategy is the difference between a dream and a destination. Most people mistake a goal for a plan. A goal is “wealth,” but a strategy is the rigorous management of cash flow, tax efficiency, and risk mitigation. When you manage your capital with precision, you aren’t just hoping for a future—you are engineering it. I’m here to make sure every move counts.

I specialize in the architecture of legacy—where high-level vision meets precision management. In the world of high-stakes growth, the most valuable asset you own is you and your capacity to generate wealth. Strategy is knowing that while markets fluctuate, your ability to build an empire is the one investment worth protecting.

True wealth isn’t just about the numbers you see today; it’s about the vision you have and the discipline to build for tomorrow.

Execution is everything.

Ready to turn your vision into a blueprint? DM me ‘LEGACY’ to learn how we can optimize your strategy and secure your most valuable asset: YOU!

Silver is trending for wedding bands since gold prices are doing their roller coaster ride.

Silver has gone up in price as well, but is still very affordable, neutral in colour, has the alchemical power to alter, expand and grow with you, and is ultimately my first love.

These simple textured bands, gender neutral, could be yours and theirs! Talk to me about a rush order for valentines, or anything other designs u would like to consider

Your engagement, proposal rings can always be built in silver, and set with a smaller diamond (approx $700), a lab grown diamond (approx $500) , or a cubic zirconia (approx $350)

Something that is now trending as gold prices are soaring.

I always remind people that there is no need to spend tons on your rings. Use that money for other expenses, or just to have more to share. All these old unnecessary, overly priced practices can crumble now

This is Gleaming Beauty a design that I've had for over a decade. Sterling silver with 1/2 carot diamond.
Silver and goldsmithing for 30 years

This isn’t a typical French river cruise.

We’re creating a private, art-led journey designed for people who travel for meaning, not momentum.

This experience is intentionally small, deeply curated, and centred around culture, creativity and connection.

If slow luxury and thoughtful travel resonate with you, this was created with you in mind.
