Happy Holidays! 2026 Outlook

Hope you’re all staying cozy during this end-of-year season. I hope you’re enjoying a Santa Claus rally and looking to the future with positivity and critical thinking!

As 2025 comes to a close, I’ve loved cozying up with special friends who only visit downtown once a year. Toronto’s travel mess is real—so to those who braved it in December: endless kisses and thanks!

In theare news: I am prepping for a new project: auditions in January, choreography in February—when the creative magic really kicks in! More details soon. Thrilled to collaborate with my all-time fave, the hilarious Mandy Goodhandy.

From January to April, I’ll be deep in study mode, tackling a couple of university courses to prepare for owning rural land. Winter is perfect for focused learning and quiet reflection, and I plan to make the most of that solo time—aside from maybe a quick Caribbean escape to recharge under the sun!

Cue: I will be around all winter if anyone needs a little respite from the cold. Send me a note, and we can stay warm together:)

Also, I’d like to thank those who have reached out over the last couple of weeks to wish me well for the holidays and the new year. The longer I’m in this, the clearer it becomes who regards me as a genuine friend rather than just a service provider. The distinction matters to me, as I pride myself on building lasting relationships…but they always begin with mutual respect—and usually a sharp sense of humour. To those who’ve touched base: I know we’ll be friends for years to come, no matter where our paths may lead us.

Some highlights of the year include:

-2025 kick off Bahamas tripping

-Special mezcal delivery from Mexico City

-Kelly Clipperton in his solo show debut as a serious theatre actor

-Directing and editing video for The Scandelles 25th anniversary show

-Tripping through wine country with farmers, wine makers and often my mom, discovering more and more of our very innovative and burgeoning wine region in the benchlands.

-Grouse Grind!

-Moving my investments away from the big banks

-Teaching the olds about Ontario wine at the retirement community

-St Martin getaway to round out a fab year:)

To those who are still with me, let’s make 2026 a memorable year. Hold your friends and loved ones close. Happy holidays!
