It's Sunday which means The Parenting Show is on T

It's Sunday which means The Parenting Show is on TONIGHT! Tune into Global News Radio @am640 Toronto at 8pm EST to join myself and my very special guest @kevinhinesstory!⠀
⠀
With tomorrow being “Blue Monday” I thought that it was fitting to have Kevin on to join us for a very important conversation about mental health and share this story with us! Kevin is not only a son, husband, best selling author, film maker and mental health advocate but he is also a suicide attempt survivor.⠀
⠀
We are sitting down to talk about his life, struggles, constant battles, experience, but also how he manages and is thriving. It’s a much needed conversation and very timely so join us and spread the word.⠀
⠀
Tune in live or if you're not in the Toronto area be sure to listen live at www.640Toronto.com🎙⠀

I have been sitting here trying to get the right words out but I’m having the hardest time. Today is your birthday and you would have been 16. I miss you so much! Figaro, you were my best friend and I can honestly say that no human was ever there for me or been able to give me what you gave me and I will forever be grateful for that and our time spent together. You stood by me through the good times and the bad and showed me what true unconditional love is. You were simply the BEST!⠀
⠀
Happy Birthday Mr. Figaro Bonjanles, I hope that you’re with your next fave person...Daddy...up in heaven enjoying your day! I love you 🖤⠀

Just gotta say one thing...⠀ ⠀ If you haven't

Just gotta say one thing...⠀
⠀
If you haven't noticed we are in the middle of a pandemic and shit isn't the greatest, PEOPLE ARE DYING! Later this month will mark 1 year since I last got on a plane to travel...1 full year. Now to all of you who see no problem with jumping on a plane to travel, you seriously need to check yourselves. I do a fair share of travelling for work (in 2019 I was on about 12 trips) and so do many of my colleagues...some of them are in and out of the country a few times a month and yet how the hell is it that we have all managed to park our asses here at home and not travel but some of you see no problem going on vacation? It has gotten to the point where our travel partners (airlines, travel and tourism boards, resorts, etc) have not even bothered to contact us about taking trips and instead the communication we have gotten from them was to cancel any trips we had in the works because a) they don't think it's right for us to travel during this time and b) we don't think it's right to travel during this time. Do I miss travelling right now? YES! Could I use the escape? TOTALLY! But it's not safe or wise at the moment. The longer it takes everyone to realize this, the longer we will be in this situation and remember what I said...many of us travel for work so thank you to all of you who continue to pack your bags, grab your passport and jump on a plane because YOU are ruining it for us and it is affecting our livelihood. ⠀
⠀
The only way we can get past COVID and back to our somewhat normal lives is if we work together which means don't fuckin go anywhere, do you part, wear a mask, stop being selfish and STFU.⠀
⠀
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk 🖤⠀

“And the sun does not shine because someone want

“And the sun does not shine because someone wants it to. It shines because that is what it was born to do.” ~ @NikitaGill⠀
⠀
Looking back on one of the most magnificent sunrises I have ever experienced. I captured this sunrise back in the summer of 2006 on the top of the Haleakalā (“house of the sun”) volcano in Maui, Hawaii. I was 10,023 feet above sea level and literally had my head in the clouds...it was spectacular! I had never experienced the sun like I did that early morning. ⠀
⠀
And if there is anything we can learn from the sun it’s that much like it, we are all born to shine and not for anyone or anything but rather for ourselves! Now take the time to think about that as you go about your day. ⠀
⠀
P.S. Word to the wise, if you ever decide to visit Haleakalā be sure to leave things as they are because you don’t want to be cursed....Pele’s (Hawaii’s Goddess of Volcanoes and Fire) curse! The legend states that anyone who foolish enough to take a volcanic rock will suffer horrible bad luck until the rock is returned. It has been said that those who haven’t taken the myth seriously and have taken from the volcano have later mailed back their borrowed souvenirs with letters sharing stories of their bad luck...death, bankruptcy, and heartbreak.⠀

In this year...⠀ ⠀ “I hope you live louder.

In this year...⠀
⠀
“I hope you live louder. I hope you laugh more. I hope you sing at the top of your lungs. I hope you drive with your windows and let the wind rustle through your hair. I hope you hug. I hope you kiss. I hope you surround yourself with people who make you feel alive. I hope you become the type of person that brings good energy wherever you go, and the type of person people want to be around. I hope you speak what’s on your mind, that you raise your voice for injustice, that you tell others that you love them, instead of waiting until it’s too late. I hope you live louder, shine brighter. From this moment on.” ~ Unknown⠀
⠀
2021 has arrived and it’s time to look forward and leave 2020 behind us. Wishing you all an amazing year filled with all the best that life has to offer...good health, peace, love, joy, happiness and laughter!⠀
⠀
Remember it’s your life, the world is yours, it’s all right there in front of you so go for it and make it your best year ever!⠀
⠀
Happy New Year everyone!

P.S. May 2021 be the year I can travel again! I’m dying to hit up this infinity pool again in Saint Lucia haha

It’s almost time to say peace out to 2020!⠀
⠀
How are you ringing in the 2021 tonight? Probably very differently from years past right? Well at least that’s the case for me and I can’t say that I’m a fan of it. ⠀
⠀
Whatever it is you are doing and who ever you are with, have a wonderful night, be safe and please if you are out (I’m not here to judge) don’t get behind the wheel if you are under the influence.⠀
⠀
Just a few more hours till the new year, are you ready?⠀

This was me getting ready to say to goodbye to 201

This was me getting ready to say to goodbye to 2019 which was an amazing year and welcome in 2020. ⠀
⠀
2020 started off epic…well the first 3 months at least! I signed my first book deal, got to travel to NYC for work, hung out with friends, and even checked out a concert. It was too long after that concert that a little thing called COVID hit us and everything changed. I no longer had the freedom to do the things that I loved and made me happy. Family and friends were forbidden, hugs were off the table, concerts were gone, traveling was a no go and well all of our lives were turned upside down. I remember taking moments to sit in my car on my driveway to listen to music because it was the only escape I had. Zoom was the new way to hang with your friends and it was how many of us celebrated our 40th birthdays. There were moments in my day when I thought I had my shit together only for that feeling to be followed up a sense of defeat, sadness, loneliness and anxiety. No matter where you turned there was no escaping things because what was happening was happening for all of us. I tried my best to make people laugh and smile with my COVID reports here on IG stories with my friends from all over the world and the Quaranchats game feat. my girls WhatsApp group convo. Making all of you smile and laugh, made me smile and laugh! Slowly things got better and we managed to get out of lockdown. Our days seemed a bit brighter and although we were not back to our pre-COVID days there was some light at the end of the tunnel. ⠀
⠀
Now here we are, the last day of 2020 and ready to put this year behind us but I have to say that as shit as this year was there was still a lot of good in it. It was a reset year for many of us, a year to reflect, a year to focus and a year to work on ourselves. I had friendships grow closer, new and amazing friendships develop, fantastic work opportunities come my way, I became a best selling author, signed my second book deal and so much more!⠀
⠀
2020 you weren’t an easy year that’s for sure but as they say nothing worth having comes easy!⠀
⠀
What were some of your 2020 highlight moments and wins?⠀
