I’m Lucky
Goodbye Gramp, You Are Loved And Missed
April 19th, 2013 by Joshua MurrayTomorrow afternoon my family will say goodbye to the man who we all called Gramp. Since I heard of his passing on Wednesday morning I have thought of him a lot. I’ve played old memories through my mind over and over again. I’ve thought of him as he was when I was a child and […]
Heart Wishes For Weslee: Help Make A Difference!
April 11th, 2013 by Joshua MurrayLast summer I met a little boy named Weslee. He is 4 years old and currently on a waiting list, hoping to find the perfect donor match for a heart transplant. I met Weslee and his family at a Ford event in St. Thomas, ON and without being told about his circumstances we never would […]
Inspired: Do Everything You Can To Do What You Love.
April 10th, 2013 by Joshua MurrayLast night I sat in a theatre at the TIFF Bell Lightbox and listened to 4 directors talk about making their first feature films. They all come from different backgrounds and situations. They all had different stories that they wanted to tell. And they all had things happen for them in different ways that lead […]
The Things I’d Tell My 8 Year Old Self
March 12th, 2013 by Joshua MurrayYesterday Ashley Gibson wrote a post that asked the question, what would she go back and tell her 8 year old self. I liked it. A lot. And in the comments I told her that she should be prepared for people (like me) to do something similar in the very near future. So here I am. […]
Turning 31, Highly Recommended!
February 24th, 2013 by Joshua MurrayOn Thursday I turned 31 years old – it wasn’t so bad, I highly recommend (if you haven’t done it already) that you give it a shot. I have to say (because it has to be said) that I was completely overwhelmed by the Facebook posts and tweets and text messages that I received from […]
31 Things That Inspire Me
February 10th, 2013 by Joshua MurrayAs I count down to my 31st birthday I’m thinking about how awesome my life is. Things aren’t always roses and sunshine – but that’s life man – and I know that when I’m able to take a step back and think about all that I have, I’m lucky. So, without order or priority here […]
Defining Community
February 9th, 2013 by Joshua MurrayI’ve been tuned in to Hockey Day in Canada on the CBC today and the word community has been used a lot in the pieces from around the country and in the host city of Peterborough where I lived and spent some great time in when I was younger. The use of the word and […]
Describing Me
January 12th, 2013 by Joshua MurrayI’m not exactly sure why, but the other day I start thinking about words that describe me and the things that I enjoy in my life. Putting this list together has turned into an exercise in self examination and questioning. It’s also been fun to think about all of the things in my life that […]

Dinner In A Pumpkin – Volunteering With My Mom
October 28th, 2012 by Joshua MurrayYesterday I came home to the Port Hope area to help out my mom with her Cooking Club in the basement of our church. I had no idea what I was getting into. I knew none of the teenagers that showed up to cook, eat and clean and I didn’t know what we were making […]
Oh So Terrified at #ScreemersNightOut
October 13th, 2012 by Joshua MurrayLast night the Halloween season officially started for me at Screemers Toronto. I was lucky to be invited to #ScreemersNightOut by Jaime-Leigh and the Screemers team. And to say that at first I was tentative would be an understatement. I should clarify, I wasn’t tentative in accepting the invitation. I was tentative to start heading […]
Grow, Cook, Relish! At The Toronto Botanical Gardens!
October 11th, 2012 by Joshua MurrayHello friends! I come to you a learned man. Well, more learned than I was yesterday at this time at least. Last night I was a lucky guest/student at the Toronto Botanical Gardens for the Grow, Cook, Relish! class presented as part of the Adult Education series. When Trish invited me to come with her […]

September 17th, 2012 by Joshua MurrayYou know those times when the world goes to hell and you’re looking at your life trying to figure out what’s worth holding onto so you can keep from throwing a lamp or screaming at the old woman who is taking up the entire produce aisle… We all get there. We all have those moments […]
