    British Columbia – Travel Diary Season 3

    On the northwest side of Canada lies British Columbia. Full of lakes, mountains and glaciers, it’s a stunning place. One of British Columbia’s unique attractions is the Columbia ice fields. It formed between 238,000 to 126,000 BCE. This was close to the time when humans were learning to farm near the Tigris, Euphrates and Nile rivers over 10,000 kilometers away.

    The Universe and You series

    Have you ever wished for something and then when the opportunity arises, you give all the excuses why not to do the thing you wished for? Well that’s what this is about. In this new series we give powerful points in funny scenes. Today it’s Cake Day! It was in Canada. My family and I had been watching an inspirational series by Kyle Cease.

    Animals: The New Generation Excerpt 1

    When I was 10 years old I had an idea for a book (I actually had a lot of ideas but this was one of the first ones I acted on). I call it Animals: The New Generation. I got the idea for the book from the books I read and movies I watched. Over time as I started getting more into reading, I came across storylines that gave me ideas for my own writing. One example is the Rangers Apprentice series by John Flanagan. Those are some of my favorite books. My book Animals is a story about a 16 year old boy named Aiden who discovers that he’s…

    Word of the Year: TRUST

    Trust, that’s my word for the year. Trust myself. Last year, my word was speaking up for myself (ok, that’s not really a word but just bear with me for a minute). I chose the idea of speaking up for myself last year because I wanted to learn how to speak up for what I truly want. I wanted to express my feelings, and be able to say no. Yep, you know that word. So after accomplishing the art of speaking up for myself, including in front of an audience of thousands at Mindvalley University, I am now moving toward trusting myself to make a decision and not doubt it.…

    The Greatest Showman – LEGO Model

    After seeing the dazzling circus musical movie I was inspired to build this LEGO set. I enjoy building LEGO models based on movies, places or stories I’ve seen. I decided to build the circus building where most of the movie takes place. It was a tough but fun build. I knew from the start I didn’t want to just have the building. I wanted functions and details. One of them is the trapeze where Anne Wheeler (Zendaya) flies above the show below. The characters were also fun to make. Since the director wanted the movie to be bright and colorful I got to use lots of different pieces to help…

    The Young Achievers Series

    What do you want to be when you grow up? It’s a question we probably have all been asked as kids. The question implies that when I grow up I’ll do this or that. Why not right now? Who is stopping you from starting? At the age of 8, I traveled to Europe for the first time. At the age of 12, my family and I became nomadic, traveling across America before spending five months in seven countries around Europe. Since then I traveled to nine new countries in 2019, wrote two books, created a video about Mindvalley University that has been shown on their platforms which have over 735k…
