Our friend Lynette was kind enough to write a story about us and our practice for the CBC. So read it and learn more about how we can be a help here in the Bay Roberts area. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My mental health practice in Bay Roberts is starting to offer free workshops for the community! Can't wait to get these rolling.

Since moving back to Newfoundland, I’ve been doing some songwriting. It’s weird - I’m a bass player, I don’t do this stuff. But I’ve got to try and put it out there so, here goes!! This is the chorus to a song called Anderson’s Cove.

What’s the over-under on Trump walking out of the Oval with $1billion in stolen funds? The $230 million from justice is a decent start.

Since moving back to Newfoundland I’ve been doing a little song writing. This just happens to be the first recording I’m halfway happy with :) it’s a holiday/winter tune that I’d love to play out someday soon. on.soundcloud.com/RX643dmLJkHG... #singersongwriter #holidaymusic #christmasmusic

Joy in the World
A quick little groovy Christmas song written and recorded at my house in October 2025. All about enjoying the snow and the holiday season.

It's important to regulate the practice of Counselling Therapy in the province. It keeps the public safe, legitimizes the profession for third party payers and the provincial health care, and we continue to be the only province in Atlantic Canada that hasn't made this important move.

Yup, that's me - at 23:32 or so. Last week when I was at the CBC Studios for The Signal, I got to record a quick question for the provincial leaders' debate. I was disappointed that neither of the leaders addressed my question! www.youtube.com/live/3y5k_ig...

I've done this twice now, so I feel I can justifiably say "It's always fun hanging out with @adamfwalsh.bsky.social over at The Signal! Great conversation with the panel today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSOw...

Take: the events this week with #kirk will lead to either the end of the US democracy or the end of the evangelical church.

It’s been a minute, Blue Sky. Been working on getting our mental health practice up and running. We’re getting close over at Landmark Counselling (landmarkcounselling.ca) just another couple weeks and we’ll be ready to launch :)

Love this photo from a set with Haley in St John’s. There’s so much going on here but it comes together in a beautiful image.
A style photograph of model Haley who has brown hair sitting on a gray couch while wearing a black shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes.

Apparently #Gretzky is at the Capitals game tonight with Kash Patel, removing all doubt that his support of Canada is out the window. It was a nice run, used to be great one.

Exactly what Canada needs right now 🙄 I think it's a ploy to bolster the CPC in the National election. If PP wins, Alberta stays; if not, AB is outta here. Hopefully after the mess down south, AB will see that sovereignty and/or affiliating with the US is a non-starter.

Desmond Smith gave @7cupscommunity.bsky.social a 1 star via Trustpilot trstp.lt/ax7ZIAlCUV I don't know if they're well meaning or not but 7 Cups, unfortunately, has self-sabotaged any sense of trust with the #mentalhealth community by using our data without consent.

In order for #Trumps tariffs to work, he needs the rest of the world to have American values of individualism and dogmatic capitalism. The rest of the world does not. That’s his critical error. That’s why this fails. That’s why America is in trouble.

Trump has made a career of wasting other people’s money for his own gain. Liberation Day is just the next iteration of this. At everyone’s expense but his.

“The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over,” he said. PM Carney I couldn't agree more.

Even if you're of the opinion that Trump is a 5D chess-playing genius (he's not... but even if....), the team around him are oafish and bumbling at best. They can still do damage. But they're dumb.

www.cbc.ca/news/politic... Hey @govnl.bsky.social - what's the deal with not being in on this deal? Need some rationale here. Are we #TeamCanada or not? @ntvnewsnl.bsky.social @cbcnews.ca Any insight you can provide here?

This is one of the differences between Canada and the US. People here can disagree in general and give props for specifics. Your countrymen are not the enemy even when you don’t agree.

There’s a clown show of epic proportions playing out down south. But if you listen to them, they’re telling you everything you need to know. This is straight out of the Musk playbook. Break everything then fix the things you can’t do without. Crash the market then fix it and claim credit. Dumb.

“I’m not stopping the tariffs,” Trump told reporters as he hosted the first cabinet meeting of his second term at the White House. Of course he's not stopping the tariffs. HE. CANNOT. BE. TRUSTED. #teamCanada - let's move on.

The “Carney can’t love our country and not live here” argument is a non-starter for me. My two decades in the US has caused me to love it more.

Hard to keep up because Trump said they were “on track” for next week. Can’t trust anything he says and yet we have to take everything seriously.

Part of the controversy in last nights Liberal leaders debate was that Carney and Freeland hugged at the end. I lived in the US for 22 years. I’ll take it.
