“Kitchen Confidential” House Proud, The Toronto Sun
My new home has many charms. It’s not too big but not too small, just right for two busy people who do many things together and some things on their own.

The Consulting Game
Launching a business isn’t for the faint of heart. I love the excitement of it but it’s also a stressful, unpredictable endeavour. Then again, that’s also part of what I love about it. …
