Finding Happiness through Failure: How I Created Independence & Flourished in a Digital World

What did you want to be when you grew up?  Inside all of us is a calling and a gift. But many of us never realize our passionate purpose or find true meaning in our lives. Why is that?  When I was ten years old, becoming a doctor seemed like a great idea.  After all, my next-door neighbour was a doctor, and he had a fancy house and a car. Very appealing to my ten-year-old self. Unfortunately, I would later discover that I hated the sight of blood. So I crossed that career pathway firmly off my list.  But it was a conversation with my teacher in Grade 5 that I remember was a quiet hint and a promise that...

With the success of the delightfully queer pirate comedy series "Our Flag Means Death," interest in pirate fiction is on the upswing yet again.

Five days work etching a sprawling sand-sculpture mural into a sand bar on Tofino’s Chesterman Beach all washed away with the tides last weekend. Yet Jim Denevan was content. Usually, the internationally known land artist works alone. This time he wanted to try a casually collaborative process and see how many people would join him. At all came together July 9 with the help of more than 100 rolling volunteers: rings of small circular ‘anti-mounds’ were surrounded by larger circles, resembling a tunnel illusion or a stylized flower-seed pod to the untrained eye.
