I was born and raised in Toronto. Over the years, I’ve travelled around the world. I’ve lived in the Middle East, visited Africa and spent a huge amount of time in Ireland, my mother’s birthplace. Of course, like many other Canucks, I’ve gone down south to Mexico for some sun and fun and headed out on road trips to say hello to our neighbours in the good ol’ U.S. of A.
But it’s always great to come home.
Sure, I’ve heard many complaints about Toronto from people who live here (I’m talking to you Toronto Star) but at the end of the day… what a fantastic city! We’ve got incredible opportunities and business is thriving, it’s safe and people are friendly and helpful (no matter what other Canadians might say!). Who doesn’t love going to Little India for a traditional biryani, or strolling through Little Italy and taking in the sights or feeling the bustling energy of Chinatown? Heck if I want to, I can travel to countries all around the world and experience countless other cultures without ever leaving the city limits.
When I look at what’s happening economically in other countries, I thank my lucky stars that I live in Canada. As a copywriter in Toronto, business is thriving. Since I started my freelance copywriting business, I’ve worked for companies operating in a huge number of industries and many niches within those industries. It’s always exciting to collaborate with folks and come up with creative ways to bring in new business.
To date, it’s been nothing but a joy. I’ve worked with great people and on interesting projects. I love the fact my job can help companies in a tangible and measurable way, all while helping me earn a good living and being able to support my family.
So on this fine September Friday, I just want to say thanks for everything! Let’s keep it moving…
