Happy belated New Year! We’re nearly two weeks into 2026 and I’m only just getting around to picking up my blog again.
Over the past few weeks, people, myself included, have been reflecting on what 2025 was for them, and on what may lie ahead for 2026. I figured why not be publicly reflective, insofar as this blog is public. (I daresay that the volume of readership of my blog posts barely counts as public, but I digress.)

London. I have been dreaming about visiting London for a very long time. I knew that I would eventually make my way to the UK, but we had never quite prioritized this destination. Even this trip was not a long-planned one. Originally we had planned on a trip to California with my brother and his wife later in the fall, but given the political climate, the wildfires that ravaged LA last year, and the horrendous exchange rate between the US and Canada, we pivoted. Isabelle and I found a good deal on flights to London, so off we went.
When looking back at the trip to London that Isabelle and I took just about a month ago, a lot of different numbers presented themselves to me. I thought this would make for an interesting take on my traditional back-from-vacation post. With that in mind, here’s my London by the Numbers.

We are now more than a month into 2025. Crazy how time flies… I was very low-key for January, wanting to just take some time for myself, to recharge the batteries, to give myself space to decide where I wanted to put my energy for the year. I had decided in December that this was what I wanted to do. So, I jumped into the new year with a single mindset in place – to live more intentionally.

As is the wont at this time of year, I find myself being reflective these past few days. Looking back on the year that was 2024, I can’t help but be amazed. As much as it was a year of grieving, it was also a year of taking full advantage of the opportunities afforded me in life.

It was one year ago today that we said goodbye to my mother-in-law, Pauline.
In just under a month, I will be embarking on one of the biggest adventures of my life to date. I will be taking a trip of a lifetime to explore Egypt. The biggest difference with this trip will be that my darling wife, Isabelle, will not be by my side. Instead, I will be doing this journey with my mother.
