"In Flanders Fields The Poppies Blow Between The Crosses, Row On Row, That Mark Our Place; And In The
"In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields." -John McCrae Lest we forget... We remember (at Prince's Island Park)

How do you decide on a Bond quote? It seems like a fools errand, there are too many famous quotes, so I'll try to go one level deeper: "Be polite, be courteous, show professionalism, and have a plan to kill everyone in the room." -James Bond (and James Mattis) "I don't stop when I'm tired, I stop when I'm done." -James Bond A found picture from the Rotary/Rotaract's, Secret Agent & Bond Girl Charity Soiree & Fundraiser. After two years working with the Rotaract club helping young people learn about financial literacy, I was flattered to receive an invite to the event. Even more so when the person who invited me held ticket 007 just for me. A night of music, secret missions, code words, drinks, and even an attempted assassination made helping the charity more fun than work. Philanthropy is always worth it. #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Calgary #yyc #thankful #legacy #leader #goals #bond #007 #secretagent #beyourownbanker #betterlatethannever #sharecalgary #calgary360 #shareyyc #rotary #rotaract (at Sky 360 Restaurant)

"Las Vegas looks the way you’d imagine heaven must look at night.” -Chuck Palahniuk Lucky enough to qualify for the Leaders Conference, which this year was in Vegas Baby! So when we aren't crushing it at the tables...er...tirelessly studying with other professionals about the newest tax changes...ya, thats it, some of of took of to explore the strip. Honestly my favorite part in any city, is exploring places. Vegas in particular is almost unrecognizable from day to night. Lessons learned quickly: I was rusty in blackjack, 22 push can be forgiving, @mylifeyyc was dangerously good at baccarat, and @andyfreeman99 plans great restaurant encompassing recharges. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #vegas #lasvegas #flamingo #ceaserspalace #Paris #drais #margarita #margaritaville #bellagio #travel #poker (at Las Vegas Strip)

In Toronto I learned the origins of the handshake: "Hockey historians say the handshake dates to English settlers in Canada, who preached an upper-class version of sportsmanship in the 19th century. Soon, tough kids in urban and prairie rinks began imitating imagined dukes and earls of the old country." -George Vecsey I also was reinvigorated by the fact that Canadians are known for respect for the game of hockey: "In this jersey, I promise to play for logo on the front, not the name on the back" -Sidney Crosby So I wanted to share some random pictures from the rest of my Toronto trip. Massey Hall, the Hockey Hall of Fame, and late-night journeys that began in Ossington and ended in new, strange, and amazing places, with new, strange, and amazing people. Thanks Toronto, it's been a productive visit. I can't wait to return. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #travel #Toronto #blessed #leader #thankful #quotes #legacy #hustle #Canada #nhl #hockey #friends (at The Communist's Daughter)
The Vancouver Convention Centre, now closed for today, abandon from any other visible person; is still a striking structure to behold. As the twilight turns to night the three dimensional model of the earth reflects off its glass walls, and makes the waterfront walk even more enjoyable.
“The twilight turns from amethyst To deep and deeper blue, The lamp fills with a pale green glow The trees of the avenue.
The old piano plays an air, Sedate and slow and gay; She bends upon the yellow keys, Her head inclines this way.
Shy thought and grave wide eyes and hands That wander as they list - The twilight turns to darker blue With lights of amethyst.” -James Joyce (at Vancouver Convention Centre)
