Well, the season is SHIFTing here in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia. The early cherry trees has burst into bloom. It’s gonna be a snow of pink petals soon. Those little petals are really beautiful but quite the drag to get off your car when they are plastered on by a west coast rainfall. Makes me even more grateful for having my garage – won’t have to go through picking them off my paint this year!
It’s been a nice mellow couple of weeks with signs of spring all around. Was recently interviewed by Heather Gray for her upcoming ‘Laptop Lifestyle Summit’ … which got me thinking about just how much my lifestyle has changed over the years. From my days as a busy graphic facilitator traveling the globe (where it wasn’t unusual to be home only a few days a month) … to my life now where I’m home for weeks/months at a stretch — working virtually with my clients by phone or web, or them coming here to Victoria.

Victoria’s a special kind of town, full of strange surprises in unlikely places. On the way to my gym I spied this decorated hydro box to the left. Who the heck is responsible for this stuff? That took some doing … how to make a regular ugly metal box attractive … and not only that … inspirational. Well done! I just had to take a shot – as it was not only artistic but the saying is perfect for SHIFT-IT … great words to live by!
Enjoy, see you next issue!
