Studio Renovation Last week, I gave the studio a makeover, again, to transform it from the super-functional office space that it was, into a much warmer, cozier place to work but also to relax and breathe.

Studio Renovation

Last week, I gave the studio a makeover, again, to transform it from the super-functional office space that it was, into a much warmer, cozier place to work but also to relax and breathe.

I was stressed just reading this story.

I’d love to see more like this. Very interesting.

Every few years I have to start and never finish a puzzle, to remind myself that I despise puzzles.

Hey @wealthsimple.bsky.social your Bluesky profile links to the paused TLDR newsletter. Y’all should update that… and start sharing Wealthsimple updates over here on Bluesky. 😊

Shipped three packages to the same PEI address yesterday. All picked up at the Grand Bay Medicine Shoppe drop spot at the same time. Two arrived at the destination today. One is delayed due to “weather”. Purolator has a habit of blaming weather for every delay.

Out here, kindness isn’t loud.
It’s just how things are. 🌊⚓
A wave on the road.
A hand offered before it’s asked for.
A place where you’re always welcome.
This is the Maritimes. 🤍

I’ll add another vote for Carnation.

We had a bit of wind at The Timber Walk last night. The power went out for about 8 hours and in that time about a dozen trees came down. Fortunately there was no major damage to anything else.

Illustration on a turquoise background reading “It’s OK to make your mind a priority,” with the word “mind” circled. Below the text are two cartoon rain clouds—one white and one dark—standing side by side with small raindrops and gentle expressions, symbolizing emotional support. Smaller text at the bottom encourages asking for help and breaking the stigma around mental health.

It’s okay to make your mind a priority.
It’s okay to ask for help.
And it’s more than okay to rest, pause, and take care of yourself — without guilt. 💙

We don’t fix mental health by pushing through it alone.

Introducing the Future Retreat Spaces of The Timber Walk - The Timber Walk There’s a moment in creating a place like The Timber Walk when everything shifts from plans to a real destination. Even before any structures rise from the forest floor, giving them names makes the…

The Timber Walk’s cottage, cabins, and retreat tents now have their official names — and I’m obsessed with how they fit together.

The water is flowing through the pipes at The Timber Walk today!

One year ago, The Timber Walk was just an untouched acre of woods.
Since then we’ve added a driveway, power, water, septic, the workshop, the first 30' of boardwalk, and all the foundations for Birchwood Cottage.
Wild what a year can do. 🌲

Things are looking a little different out at The Timber Walk today.

We’re going to have firewood for years. And this is only a fraction of what came from clearing the land for parking, the septic system, and Birchwood Cottage at The Timber Walk. Nothing like heating your future cabin with the trees that made way for it. #thetimberwalk #lowergreenwich #nbcabins

This birch was cut a few weeks ago when we cleared the site for Birchwood Cottage. I kept these pieces to use decoratively inside the build — might as well turn what came off the land into part of the place. #birchwoodcottage #cabinbuild #nbcabins #lowergreenwich #foreststyle #maritimeslife

We had a new visitor at The Timber Walk.

Be kind. You never know what someone else may be going through.

IT’S ALIVE!!! Don’t worry, those aren’t monster tentacles reaching into the workshop. They’re just the power lines for the cottage, cabins and shower house. This weekend we ran them into the building but they won’t be connected to the electrical panel until there are buildings on the other ends.

A basket full of coloured fabric.

Bin on a step labeled “Quilting Fabric Donations”.

Collecting fabric for a special woman who’s slowly losing her vision, and wants to keep doing something she loves for as long as she can: quilting.

If you have any extra fabric, I’d love to bring it to her over Christmas. 🎄

Drop-off bin in Grand Bay–Westfield. PM for address.

Thank you. ❤️

Every building starts with a footprint. This is where Birchwood Cottage will stand at The Timber Walk. #TheTimberWalk #NewBrunswick #CabinBuild #ForestRetreat #NBForest #LowerGreenwich #GreenwichHill #CabinLife #ConstructionJourney

A Quick Visit to Niagara Falls and Toronto In my 41 years of existence, I've have the privilege of being able to visit and explore places all over Canada, and elsewhere in the world. I've seen many incredible sights, I've explore places only visited by a few, and I've experienced things that have created incredible lifelong memories. Surprisingly, I had never visited Niagara Falls... until last week! Michael and I went on a quick trip to Toronto and Niagara Falls.

I think I’m a bad New Brunswicker. I can’t stand them.

Fiddleheads: love them, hate them, never tried them, or only if buttered?

Steve digs in a trench for a pier footing.

Shaun, Rebecca and Michael level of footing form.

The crew all working literally in the trenches to prepare pier footings.

It was another exhausting day at The Timber Walk, preparing footings for the piers that will hold up Birchwood Cottage. I’m so grateful for the people in my life who are willing to help me turn this dream into a reality.

I’m a French toast guy myself.
