Liberty Village, Toronto//Balzac's Coffee Shop//Date Night Thursday

If you have been following our journey at all, you know we have a list of things we're passionate about-like our friends and our faith.

We're also rather wild about each other and good coffee. When we can combine these two passions into a date space, we'll then, it's The Very Best.

I'm all about the fancy dates, people, but sometimes you just need a good cup of coffee at a sweet cafe and long words with your love.

So the next time you're wandering around Liberty Village in Toronto and need to take a load off your feet, pop into Balzac's and cuddle up with a cup of coffee and your love.

You definitely won't regret it.

Happy dating, peeps.

Francis Becks Consulting//Business and Leadership Workshop

Hi friends!

We just wanted to give you a follow-up on the business workshop that Francis Becks held here at the photo studio over the weekend.

There were 14 people who attended and/or spoke throughout the day and it was such a great feeling to network and learn for an entire day with other professionals. Thankfully it was a bit cold and grey outside, so we weren't all-that-sad that we were inside for the entirety of the day.

Since you asked...

Things I would will do differently the next time I do a workshop:

1. Have it on a weeknight, not a Saturday. What was I thinking?!

2. Have fewer topics. (We were all so engrossed in each subject that we kept running out of time.) This was both Great and bad.

Things I would do the same:

1. Invite our brilliant speakers again. Christophe, Eustan, Lucas-you were amazing and I left feeling so inspired (and with a massive TO DO list for our businesses.)

2. Ask Healthy Rabbit to cater the event.

3. Ask Emylee to bake brownies.

A few things I'm implementing into our businesses straightaway from yesterday:

1. Challenge-have a coffee a day with someone new for the next 60 days. (Can I? Shall I?)

2. Stop spending cash in our businesses.

3. Read "The Wealthy Barber."

4. Get great at storytelling.
