COVER STORY

I say this humbly, as only a Canadian could, but self-deprecation and humour is a massive part of who we are as Canadians. I think we are a very distinct culture, as a nation of observers, and that had a lot to do with shaping me and fueling my desire to perform.

8 | November 2016

I’m interviewing Michael Bublé on his birthday and I feel like an absolute jerk. It’s bad enough that the Canadian music icon is taking time away from his life, work and family on his birthday to speak with me. But, I’ve also got a head cold that’s making my already nasally voice sound even worse than usual. Thankfully I can take comfort in Bublé’s voice, which, by contrast, is rich and smooth. I’ve always thought of Michael Bublé as a reincarnated member of the Rat Pack. He’s got a timeless classiness, and a stunning set of pipes that have phenomenal range and precision…and he just seems so classic-cool. I can easily picture him sipping on martinis, singing at the Sands hotel in Vegas and tearing up the strip with Frank, Dean and the boys. But Bublé is also a consummate gentleman and a humble fellow. That’s saying something for a guy who is an accomplished singer, multiple Grammy Award winner, fragrance maker, actor, husband, father and overall handsome stud. He’s also accomplished something that is so very rare to find in today’s music industry – deserved and sustained success. FACES had the very great pleasure to speak with Michael Bublé to get a better insight on his life, career, family, fragrance and latest album “Nobody But Me”.

Michael, thanks for taking the time to speak with us on your birthday. Any big plans? My wife and kids are going to take me somewhere for dinner. They haven’t told me that yet, but I’m sure that’s the plan (laughs). My wife also told me that the boys got me something. I’m not expecting too much as they are 7 and 3 years old and have no money. Instead they’ll make me something, which is great. But yea… that Rolex I was looking for isn’t coming (laughs). Tell us about life growing up in Burnaby, BC. Probably about as blue-collar as it gets. As a parent I’m very sentimental about my childhood. My parents gave my sisters and me a lot of love and allowed us to be who we were. We had a very liberal upbringing. We didn’t know it was liberal, though, because at the time we had felt it was just normal. It was a very open and honest, wonderfully nuclear family. And I loved that because it gave me a different point of view in life. Burnaby, what can I say? I’m still such a Burnaby boy.

What kind of music were you exposed to as a child? A lot of Elvis and Springsteen. Bryan Adams’ first record was really big in our house. I know my parents really liked that one. I was close with my grandparents throughout my childhood, so there was a constant backdrop of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, The Mills Brothers, Bobby Darin and Count Basie. People would always ask me if I felt strange for having liked that kind of music. Back then, I just figured I had a crazy eclectic taste in music. But now I see that a lot of those bands swung harder than any hip-hop group, and were just as strong melodically as anything you’ve ever heard. The musicianship was unreal – they were just monsters – the arrangements were complex with incredibly rich harmonies and rhythmic schemes. And, of course, their vocalists were some of the greatest in the world. When I put it all together now, I realized it wasn’t me that was crazy for liking it as much as I did, it was other people who disliked it that were the crazy ones.

COVER STORY

When did you go from wanting to be a musician to knowing it was going to happen? It was pretty early on, because I loved entertainment from a young age. I loved performing and getting that reaction. I think the first thing I wanted to be was an actor. Even outside of school I was taking drama courses and joining improv groups. I say this humbly, as only a Canadian could, but self-deprecation and humour is a massive part of who we are as Canadians. I think we are a very distinct culture, as a nation of observers, and that had a lot to do with shaping me and fueling my desire to perform. Music was just another way for me to perform, and I have a deep, deep reverence for music. I think I started to think more and more seriously about music around 10 or 11 years old. I started to practice more, but very privately. I didn’t share that with really anyone – not my family or friends. More and more, as my passion for music grew, I knew what I was going to do in life. By 16 years of age, I had my first club night. I was, in short, pretty terrible. I have a cassette of me playing a corporate gig at a hotel in Vancouver. I’m singing and although I sound eerily similar and it’s obviously my voice, it’s very obvious I have no clue where I am in the song. It was like karaoke without the bouncing ball (laughs). But I’ve come far…now, I know instinctively where I am in the song. Your new album, “Nobody But Me”, was released in October. Describe the process of putting pen to paper and putting the album together. This was a different experience for me from anything I’ve ever done. I’m sure you hear all the time artists calling their new work the best record they have ever done, but this one is special to me because I was so involved in the entire process. I’ve been very lucky and fortunate to have great success. But I really wanted to leave my comfort zone and swing for the fences. The best way I thought I could do that is by taking control and producing for the first time in my life. I felt like I earned the right to do it. I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the biggest producers, but I felt there was no one who could help complete this vision as much as the guys who I’ve shared the stage with for the last 15 years. They’ve gone to battle for me. They’re not just my best friends, but musically speaking they literally complete my sentences. I knew I could speak to them and they would understand what I wanted. So Alan Chang and I got together to work on the project by starting on the standards. I then went

10 | November 2016

again out of my comfort zone and took a meeting with Max Martin to connect with Johan Carlson who has truly become one of my best friends. Anything I could do to leave my comfort zone I did. I went out to different writing rooms to meet with different people and I felt better. The end result of all this is “Nobody But Me”. There’s a sequence of three tracks on the album that really highlight music genres and range. “My Kind of Girl” sounds like a modern nod to Sinatra. The next track, “Nobody But Me”, has a catchy beat with a modern sound and style. You follow that up with “On An Evening in Roma”, which is a half-English/halfItalian operatic song to swoon to. How are you able to maintain a range of genres but still stay true to yourself and your fans? It’s a tough balance. There are people who I’m sure will say I didn’t stay true to certain things. Up to the last day this record was mastered I had people calling me saying you can’t do a hip-hop song or have rapping on the album. It was to the point where they proposed making two versions of the song: one with the rap sequence and the other with trumpets replacing the rap sequence. But I said no. But it’s funny... I had a call with one of my friends, my publicist Liz Rosenberg, the night of the mastering explaining the pressure I was under. Liz told me that I’ve taken massive risks throughout my career and I can’t back down the night of the mastering because if I do, then I can’t say anything to the doubters. My audience is more intelligent than the doubters think. I think my audience is some of the same people standing in line to go see Hamilton. I didn’t want to let the fear of rejection or failure consume me. You recently launched your first fragrance. It’s a women’s perfume called “By Invitation”. How involved were you in the process of creating the scent? The fragrance for me was a way for me to connect in a deeper sense to millions of people who might not otherwise know or care that there’s a Michael Bublé record coming out. As an artist, it was me putting together notes in harmony the same way I would with music. What’s something most people would be surprised to learn about you? I think I’m a funny guy on stage and can be funny when I need to be. But I’m a pretty serious dude when I’m at home or alone with family… I’m not that guy. And I think my wife is funnier than me (laughs). She makes me laugh a lot more than I make her laugh. @michaelbuble

De Grasse

Canadian Sprinter Wins Three Olympic Medals in Rio

What was life like growing up in Markham? What were some of your favourite things to do? I moved to Markham when I was about 8 or 9 years old. My greatest memories are hanging out with my friends at the basketball court after school. There was a big park around the neighbourhood and we’d just do kid stuff…tag, hide and seek...whatever. It was good growing up there because there were a lot of community activities. I played a lot of basketball in high school, and it wasn’t until I transferred high schools that I got into track… but yea, growing up in Markham was good. I love claiming that I’m from there because that city was very memorable for me. Your mother was also a sprinter, so you are definitely following in her footsteps. Who else inspired you?

12 | November 2016

For most people pursuing a career in athletics, their end goal is usually to make it to the Olympics. For Scarborough’s sprinter, Andre De Grasse, this end goal has already been reached, and at the start of his career. At 21 years of age, Andre has already made a name for himself. He began running in high school, following his mother’s footsteps. Having recently competed at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Andre returned to Canada with a new Canadian Olympic record, having brought home 3 medals in a single Olympic event. FACES Magazine had a chance to speak with Andre to discuss his journey to the 2016 Rio Olympics, his favourite memories from the Olympics and what’s next for the Ontario-born sprinter.

Tony Sharpe inspired me to run. I will always remember the day I met him—him telling me that I could be great in the sport and one day be the best—you know… I didn’t believe him at the time, but having him guide me and hearing his words of encouragement and wisdom helped me a lot in what I do. It even helped me get a scholarship to go off to junior college and eventually to Southern California. He’s always been a big part of my inspiration. We still talk two to three times a month. He’s doing a lot with kids who are trying to follow in my footsteps. It feels pretty good to have that support and I’m just happy that I met a guy like him. What attracted you to the sport? What first got you into it? I’m not too sure... I never really liked to practise (laughs). But one thing I really liked to do was race people. I was very competitive. I would always get excited at the chance to compete with someone. Training for the sport

I’m just happy that my family is proud of me, my country is proud of me, and I made my mother proud. is tough and not my favourite, but once you get onto that track, nothing beats the moment where you realize that all the hard work you put in led you to now…it feels great. Obviously you’ve had a lot of success with the Olympics, but you were no stranger to placing even at the NCAA level. What was it like winning the one hundred metre and two hundred metre at the 2015 NCAA Track and Field Championships? Yea that was an awesome feeling. I never thought I’d be able to run those times, so when I saw them on the board it was really exciting—I was speechless at the time and I didn’t understand the magnitude of what I did at that moment. Afterwards, when I started getting phone calls and congratulations and lots of people telling me to start professional I started to understand. It was a great feeling and I need to thank all of my

coaches and everyone who has helped mentor me and helped me get to this point in my career. How were you feeling going into your first Olympic competition? I was really excited. I wasn’t all too nervous (laughs) I mean usually when its your first Olympic competition you almost want those jittery nerves that say oh my god, I can’t believe I’m competing at this high up of a level. But I think that my experience of running in the Olympic Stadium at the world championship last year in Beijing gave me some confidence. My mind said this is no big deal, just another competition, and you’re just going try to go out there and do your best. I felt the support of my hometown and all of Canada, and what made the difference was a lot of people saying how proud they were of me already—it just took all the nerves away. I knew going in I was in really good shape; I had won

my previous two competitions before that in the one hundred metre and the two hundred metre. I knew I was ready to go. All I needed was that crowd behind me… so once I got that adrenaline rush and I got through the first round of the one hundred I knew I was confident and ready to go out there and win a medal. What was the atmosphere like in Brazil? You often hear in the media about the poor conditions, what was it actually like being there as an athlete? How were you able to keep focused? I think it was kind of being blown out of proportion a little bit. When I got down I spent my first week at the training camp, which was nice. I got to get away and hangout with a couple of the guys on the team and watch movies, watch the opening ceremony, go to the mall…that kind of took my mind away from all of the negative things that people were saying. As soon as I got to Rio, in the village was something I’ve never experienced…I’ve never been in a village like that before. I’ve been in the Pan-Am games village and—don’t get me wrong, that was an incredible feeling—this was just so much bigger. It had everything…a cafeteria, a game room, you could see all the countries that people were from. There were all types of stars from all different countries; NBA stars, soccor players, pro athletes from all different sports. That was just so overwhelming for me. I think I did let that distract me a little bit (laughs), but I had my coach around me in the village. My support team helped me through all of the distractions and made sure I was getting everywhere I needed to go, that I was warming up on time, that all my stuff was ready to go, my spikes, my uniform… so I mean I had a good team around me to help me with that. Once I got to the stadium, I knew I was there to perform. I already had done all of the hard work. Can you describe that moment in the two hundred metre where you and Usain Bolt turn and look at each other? (Laughs) It’s weird because although Usain and I did have a good relationship before, in that race we both didn’t expect to do that. I think it just happened in the moment… I saw myself getting to the line, and I looked at him to see where he was and he looked at me. It was a who’s going to get to the tape first? moment, you know? Running against the greatest of all time, the world record holder and being in the same position as him felt good.

You came home from Rio as a triple Olympic Medalist…how does it feel to have achieved such an amazing accomplishment, especially at such a young age? It feels good. I mean, I loved competing at the Olympics and winning three medals but I know that I can set my goals a little bit higher now. For example, getting ready for four years from now, Tokyo 2020. I’m looking forward to just upgrading my medals and hopefully I’ll be able to come home with triple gold for Canada. I just know now I have to work a lot harder. I was really close to beating Bolt in the two hundred, and I know I have to work a little bit on my one hundred if I want to get faster. But overall, I couldn’t have asked for more from this year’s Olympics. It was really a great experience to come away with three Olympic medals. I’m just happy that my family is proud of me, my country is proud of me, and I made my mother proud.

14 | November 2016

You’re now a household name in Canada, and very popular on social media. What is it like to come home and have to adjust to some of these changes? It was a bit overwhelming coming home. I couldn’t believe how much support I had and how many people were proud of me. I was really honoured that I was inspiring a whole new generation to run track. They had a parade for me back home in Markham, that was a lot of fun. Have you had a chance to sit back and soak it all in? To give yourself some time to relax? Yea...I didn’t get to take a trip far away or anything, but I took a couple weekends off and traveled to see family in New York. I’m in school from Monday to Thursday. I also travel with business. But no, it really sunk in

right when I came back home and I saw people taking inspiration from me but other than that, I haven’t done any sitting back just yet. Hopefully in December I can take a trip after I graduate in the fall. What is one thing people don’t know about you? I’m really a chill dude (laughs). I’m laid back…I don’t do too much outside of the usual. I like to just keep it simple and hang with friends and family. But recently, I’ve taken up some new hobbies…I’m trying to learn how to play golf and I’ve gone go karting (laughs). Just really starting to do things I’m not good at and getting out of my comfort zone. After this semester is over, I want to focus on learning new things. You recently received some high praise from Track and Field Legend Donovan Bailey. What does that mean to you? It’s a complete honour. Donovan and I met back in 2015 after I won the bronze medal at World, so I’ve just been getting to know him and I’ve been lucky to have him around while getting ready for my Olympic experience. It was a good feeling because he’s been through it. It was good to talk to a guy who has been through it, and done what not a lot of people have done. It was motivating to be around a high caliber athlete like him. I’m looking forward to catching up with him when I get a chance. He’s a great guy. I had an interview the other day and they were showing me the video of him jumping up and down after I won my medal (laughs) – it was an honour. I told him that he couldn’t pass me that torch until I win a gold medal so…he can still hold it…for now. Have you ever been to Ottawa? I’ve only been to Ottawa once for a relay camp, but only for two days, so I didn’t get a chance to really experience the whole Ottawa thing. It was at a time when I was getting my Visa to go to China, so I had gone there for a couple practises before the Pan Am games. But, I know that the world championship trials are in Ottawa for next year. I’m looking forward to actually experiencing Ottawa for the first time, because I think I’ll be down there for at least a week. It will be good to see the House of Commons and hopefully I get to meet the Prime Minister.

Can you tell us about the foundation you are starting? Yes, I have a new charitable foundation that I’m still working on with our marketing team. Hopefully we can have that up and running by the end of 2017. We are trying to have a street meet in Toronto. The Pan Am games was really successful, so we want to try to bring that same type of energy and vibe back to the city. Hopefully we can raise enough money to have a street meet in Toronto with 5 or 6 guys or maybe a celebrity hundred metre dash. Things like that are in the works. @De6rasse

Chantal Kreviazuk Canadian Singer-Songwriter Comes to the Capital 16 | November 2016

Canadian-born singer-songwriter, Chantal Kreviazuk, is continuing to create successful albums, one after the other. Having grown up in Winnipeg, she began playing the piano from a very young age. After a near-death motorcycling accident, Chantal got serious about her passion and began playing music as a professional. Having worked with so many creative artists over the years, including her own husband Raine Maida from Our Lady Peace, Chantal has just recently released her newest album “Hard Sail”, which has already seen such a great response from fans, friends and family members. FACES caught up with Chantal to discuss her journey to success, where she draws inspiration from, her newest album and her thoughts on returning to the Nation’s Capital for her upcoming show on Saturday, November 12th. Growing up in Winnipeg, what were some of the things you liked doing, and when did you first develop your passion for music? I think I was born and surrounded by music. It was my life—it was my first memory. I come from a really musical background. We had a piano at the house and a piano at the farmhouse. On Sundays, we would sit around and I would play the piano. With all of my cousins and aunts, our house was filled with a lot of gospel music and hymns – jus beautiful music. On my father’s side of the family, who were also from a small farm town, my grandfather played the violin and my grandmother played the harmonica. They were a duo and they were beautiful. I guess that must have really emblazoned an impression in my brain because now I am that duo with my husband. It is really a special memory. I got to sit on my grandfather or grandmother’s knee while they were playing together. They were very talented people. As I get older, it becomes more incredible and special to me every day. At the age of just 22, you were signed by Sony Music Canada as a vocalist. What was your initial reaction after signing and who was the first person you called to share the news? I think I talked to my dad a lot about it, obviously my parents and then my best girlfriends Tessa and Georgia. They are sisters that I am best friends with back home in Winnipeg. I played the piano in the basement at their house and friends would come over. I was always playing the latest hits or the songs from the 70s. I grew up with them from when I was really little. Tessa, especially, was always so supportive of my artistic personality and all that stuff. We were never not close. You go through these periods of different friends where you are growing and expanding and you don’t fit each other. She and I always seemed to fit despite everything. We are more like sisters. We used to fight and we still do. She has always been, no matter what, super supportive of me. I can remember I had a label signing party, and invited a bunch of people and, of course,

wanted to show off a little. I had always been a little bit shy of who I was inside, but I knew also that I was pursuing it professionally. So it was a bit of a validating moment for me in my community. I really enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun. You met your husband, Raine Maida, at the Pearl Jam concert when you were younger. Why was this a special night for the two of you? For starters, some miracles happened. We were definitely meant to meet that night. If I were ever in doubt, all I have to do is look back to that night and know we were supposed to meet. It was my very first time in Toronto. I was shooting a video for my first single “God Made Me”. At some point in the day, the label sent over tickets for me to go to the Pearl Jam concert, but I didn’t have any friends in Toronto. There were three pairs of tickets and so I said to this really lovely girl named Simone, the makeup artist, “Hey, which tickets are good?” I didn’t know Maple Leaf Gardens. She looked at the tickets and said “These ones are good.” I asked her to come with me and she said “Sure”. So we gave the other pairs of tickets away. She and I went off to the concert when we wrapped the video shoot. We walked up the stairs and we sat down. Low and behold, she was right. They were good seats, because the president of Sony was sitting next to me… I guess I had my awesome man-radar on because I saw this guy sitting behind me and I was utterly captivated by him. I leaned over the president and said “Who is that person behind me?” He said “You don’t know Raine?” I said “No”. “You don’t know Our Lady Peace?” “No”(she laughs). I guess they had just put out Navid. But I wasn’t familiar with that earlier era of them. I had had my accident and was reclusive and isolated in my own, creative world, making music. I had completely missed that boat. I had seen Raine at the Junos. I saw Raine across the room sitting atop the booth. I was so captivated by him that night. I didn’t piece together that was the same guy. I didn’t really

ask about him. I didn’t learn much about it that first time. He was quiet and he was just observing everybody and he wasn’t talking or interrupting. It wasn’t our time in that moment. I had a wow flash because I thought that that person was not approachable. He was very quiet and alone. But when I met him that night, we were able to connect. It was wonderful and we had such a nice time. We became friends. We had an opportunity. He was making his album and it was busy. Then we were touring. We had to talk on the phone a lot and get to know each other. It set the pace for our whole relationship. What were your initial thoughts on the release of your debut album, “Under These Rocks and Stones”? Do you have a favourite song from that album? Wow! What is amazing is that the album was born from the fact that I sent the song “Surrounded” into the label. That is how it happened – I lost somebody. I lost somebody close to me that I loved very much. Through that tragedy, I wrote the song and began a career because I was moved by the love I had for him. After that, I met my husband and I had children. It is amazing – all of these things were born of his passing and of his life experiences – a life that was cut so short from a tragic suicide. Because of all of this, I feel incredibly indebted to him and his family, but I also feel incredible sadness because he is not here.

“I know that there’s not one human being who has it perfect. Every day, we wake up to a new day and a different version of ourselves. It’s not easy.

You released your first album in nearly 6 years on June 17th, 2016 called “Hard Sail”. Can you tell us a little bit about this album and what has the general feedback been like thus far? I’m in a bit of a bubble but it seems like people really like it. They just kind of say things like “Wow, you continue to grow”. I felt like it was a departure and I feel like I’ve grown, I’m really excited about it.

You have collaborated with many artists prominent in the industry, including your husband Raine Maida, Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Mandy Moore, and Drake. Who was your favourite artist to work with? What was the environment like? I have to say that every experience with every artist I’ve worked with has been an opportunity to grow. I just started working with a new artist yesterday and it’s been amazing. To be around energy and people with so much creativity, I just find it fascinating and a privilege to be working with them. For everyone that hits, there are 50 that don’t hit. I think that’s the nice thing about being an artist.

You’ll be performing here in Ottawa on Saturday, November 12th. Have you been to Ottawa before and if so, what are some of the things that stood out about the city in your eyes? I love the winter in Ottawa, of course. The restaurants are amazing too. It’s just a really beautiful city. Recently, I’ve been able to spend more time in Ottawa and I had some time at the lake this past summer.

I always have other things going on in my life, so when I sit by my piano, I write for me and come up with things like “Hard Sail”. I’m just really glad that I have my own default button. I also get to work with a lot of great artists. Some artists will bring the best out of other artists when they let you be you. Kendrick Lamar was like that. They just manage to get it out of you rather than forcing you to try something you’re not used to.

I love Toronto too, obviously we have a home here but if you want to go to the cottage, you have to drive for at least 2 hours. Ottawa is such a small but large city and it’s so easy to get to water.

You are a successful performing artist and song writer. Where do you draw your inspiration from? I’m going to have the same experiences as other people in life, but being courageous and

18 | November 2016

not overthinking it goes a long way. Just click play. I know that there’s not one human being who has it perfect. Every day, we wake up to a new day and a different version of ourselves. It’s not easy. As an artist, it’s sort of like how sailing is hard. You can go into the sea and see how beautiful it is but then you might hit a storm, and then another storm. There are some things you can’t control. I love that song (Hard Sail) for that reason. It reminds me of every person that matters to me. This time last year you and Raine were in Ottawa to receive the Order of Canada from Gov. Gen David Johnston. What was it like to receive this medal recognizing your contribution to community, society and Canadian culture? Was this ever something you had thought would happen? Nope. It was a beautiful day, a beautiful time and a beautiful moment. That’s where we’re at – 20 years together now, so it’s great and very meaningful that we did it together. At that moment and time as a couple, it’s a good reminder that we’re better together. Whatever opportunity comes, big or small, it gives us another incentive as a couple. Raine and I fill each other with everything we are. I think there’s a lot of power in the modeling we show our kids and ourselves. We have heros in today’s world and Raine is definitely mine. All of the things we’ve done together, it’s very meaningful to me. What is one thing that most people wouldn’t know about you? I’m an insane ping pong player; I’ll beat anyone. I’m really into ping pong. You are and have been active in many different philanthropic initiatives, including the Tsunami Benefit in Vancouver (2005), Zoocheck Canada, War Child and the Canadian Women’s Foundation. You are a global citizen and willing to support causes you believe in, yet many other celebrities choose not to use their fame for good. What criteria do you use when selecting who to support? Do you have any insight into why more people do not get involved in worthy causes? I really don’t judge anyone for not jumping on board for certain initiatives. I think it’s a call to action, and you’re honouring a truth inside yourself, an inspiration and there’s no agenda other than that you’re passionate about what you’re doing. I’m really passionate about War Childs and talking about mental health, addictions, etc. I believe that we can all become more open and talk about how society can become more available to people in the traumas that they’re experiencing. As I get older, I have more of a compassionate mindset. It doesn’t mean to select one campaign, it’s

about what being a global citizen looks like. It’s about how we can support each other, how can we truly evolve, these are the questions that I’m constantly asking myself. So that means that sometimes you need to jump on board to help out.

What’s one song from your new album that you would strongly recommend your fans to discover? I think probably “Vicious”. It’s a lot about my own psycho-babbling if you will. I have this belief as a curious human that we’re either on our path or we’re off. It’s a mentality that exists between everything. I see this idea coming in to the consciousness of human beings. Donald Trump is a step back but I see people questioning when in this present moment, they are still on the right path. We’ve come a long way but my hope is that 75 years from now, there won’t be any violence. That’s what the song “Vicious” is about. I don’t like to sound like a flake, like I’m making up my own jargon. I like to read a lot, especially about the old brain and the new brain, the healing of the brain, etc. It’s a lot of kindness and I feel like the best song for what I’ve been trying to describe. It’s difficult sometimes as a kind person because you realize that you have to be kind to your family, to yourself – you can’t take on everything. I’ve watched people going in to help communities, it’s been absolutely devastating and it’s like a cycle. If there was an approach set up in the first place, then it wouldn’t be on those people to fix all of the damage. These are the things I think about as a parent and as an artist. It was really wonderful writing “Hard Sail” the album because some of the self-realization and discoveries came from it, which is very exciting as an artist.

“It’s about how we can support each other, how can we truly evolve, these are the questions that I’m constantly asking myself. ”

Matt Carkner Carkner was one of the toughest players to ever play for the Ottawa Senators. The Winchester native made a name for himself through his physical play and toughness on the ice. However, many people do not realize that while Carkner was a physical force on the ice, he also was a gentle giant off of it. Carkner spent thousands of hours working with local charities and championing many causes around the National Capital Region. He exemplified everything that franchises want from their athletes – to be a player that kids can look up to for how they conduct themselves on and off the ice. We had the chance to speak to the recently retired Carkner about his career – one that him and his entire family should be very proud of as he prepares to write the next chapter in his life story.

Former Ottawa Senetor talks hockey and retirement

Matt Carkner’s hockey career is a great story about how a local boy’s dream came true through his dedication, character and determination to make the NHL.

“ Getting to

Do you remember the first time you picked up a hockey stick? If so, tell us a little bit about that memory? I don’t remember the first time I picked up a stick, but I definitely remember seeing my brother and his friends playing out on our pond for the first time and thinking that it looked amazing. That’s where the passion began.

“

grow and develop with your teammates and friends is a lot of fun.

What were some of your favourite things to do while growing up in Winchester, Ontario?  I actually grew up in a town outside of Winchester called Morewood. I loved to play basketball at the local school with my friends and obviously play some pickup hockey—we had a great outdoor rink there. We usually started when we got off the bus from school right until dark. Great times and great memories.

When did the physical component of hockey really become inspirational to you and who were some of the players you looked up to? I think that was the part of the game I always loved the most. When I was watching the game I couldn’t believe some of the big hits and some of amazing fights. When I was watching in my younger years I really thought the men out there were warriors. I loved watching Rock em Sock em with Don Cherry. That was the way we got to watch the highlights back then. Fun times. Watching guys like Bob Probert, Scott Stephens, Eric Lindross, Tie Domi, and of course my cousin Terry Carkner!

What are some of your favourite memories from playing with the Peterborough Petes from 1997-2001? Some of my favorite memories playing with the Petes were off the ice. Those years were pretty much the first years of getting a little bit of independence. Getting to grow and develop with your teammates and friends is a lot of fun. I remember certain great plays I was a part of, big fights I had, and especially when Eric Stall came onto the team. He was a young kid then and I could tell he was going to be amazing.  Who was the first person you called after being drafted 58th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft? First of all… I had to wait to go to a payphone! (Laughs) I called as many family and friends as I could. All my closest relatives and friends were there with me so everyone found out pretty quick. It’s a very cool feeling getting drafted and I was glad to have a lot of friends and family there with me to celebrate. It was a step in the right direction, but I knew there was a lot of work ahead. Tell us about your NHL debut experience with the Sharks in the 2005/2006 NHL season? What was your mindset like going into the game?  To be honest with you, it took me so long to get my first NHL game that I think the build up to that game made it a little overwhelming. Like any other

What did it feel like to be able to sign with your hometown Ottawa Senators NHL team on July 3rd, 2007 and how was the transition for you? My first contract with the Ottawa Senators was a dream come true—again. I remember when the team started up again when I was about 10 years old… I tried to follow them as best I could from that time on. I remembered all the great players that were part of the senators and I couldn’t believe I was going to be given a chance to play with them. There really is nothing like playing for your hometown team.   In your opinion, who are some of the greatest fighters to have ever played in the NHL and how did they inspire you? There’s been so many great character players in the league. The few that really stick out to me are Colton Orr, Shawn Thorton, Donald Brashear, George Parros and Eric Boulton. Most of these guys have made their living by playing in a role that so few could. It’s a part of the game that we respected and valued. When we went up against each other there was always a mutual respect gained—no matter who won. It’s a role on the team that most players appreciate, and doing it was a lot of fun.   You’ve always impressed fans, coaches and fellow players with the physicality you bring

on the ice and the amount of PIM’s you’ve collected. What is your best advice to a junior player in your position?  Well, I would tell a junior player not to try to do what I did! (Laughs) It’s definitely not for everyone. But as a physical player, it’s trying to be consistent with the physical play that separates some from others. You’ve got to be able to bring the energy and physicality each and every game. What’s one thing that most people wouldn’t know about you? I’m actually a big reader—I’ve always loved to read. Being such a big guy, what was your go-to pre-game meal? Any post-game meal? My pre-game meal was pretty typical for a hockey player: chicken, pasta, vegetables. But my favourite post-game meal, is a big serving of nachos. Probably not the best thing for you, but I loved it.   What are some of your favourite memories from playing with the Ottawa Senators?  Obviously my first game at home and scoring my first NHL goal! Besides those, I’ll always remember my triple overtime, game winning goal in playoffs. What was your initial reaction after signing your 3-year deal with the New York Islanders?  It was kind of bittersweet. I really did love playing in Ottawa for my hometown team, but I also knew I’d have a better option on a different team. They liked me here, but they didn’t really want to commit to anything longer than a one year deal. That’s the hockey business. But, it worked out in the end. I had some fun years playing with

the Islanders and now I get to try out some coaching for them as well. On July 7th of 2016, you officially announced your retirement. Was this a challenging decision for you? Technically I’m not retired, I’m still on a player/coach deal with Bridgeport Sound Tigers. So maybe my body will totally heal itself…(laughs)… and you’ll see me back out there! What are some of your favourite things to do with your spare time? I love spending all my time with my family. Whether it’s fishing, golfing, hiking, or just watching movies. Time with my family is precious and I love every minute of it.  How often do you visit Ottawa? What are some of your favourite things to do while being in the Nation’s Capital? The last few years I haven’t been back as much as I’d like. But when I am back, I love to go to my family’s cottage and play water sports with all the kids. All of my family is from this area, so we are definitely busy every time we come home.  What is your most memorable fight and can you walk us through the experience?  I can’t remember any of my fights! Is that bad? (Laughs) Some of my most memorable fights are against Colton Orr. We had some battles… and considering it was the battle of Ontario we never disappointed. I’ve taken some punishment, and I’ve dished out some punishment in those fights. What’s the best piece of career advice you’ve received in your life? That’s easy. Be humble, and work hard!

Canadian kid growing up with the dream of playing in the NHL, I was so excited when it happened. I felt like I was propped onto a team with all the big stars and I couldn’t believe that I was getting my chance to play in the NHL. It was a surreal feeling that I can’t really explain. Once I finally calmed down, I started to play a better game.

is nothing like playing for your hometown team.

FASHION & BEAUTY

In the fashion world, a trend may be relevant one week and then out the next. As I write this, a new trend is already emerging, because fashion is continuously in motion. As a fashion blogger, I am here to shed some quick inspiration on your fall-winter wardrobe by breaking down some of the 'must-haves' of the season.

Here begins our fashion trend report... UNDERSHIRT TURTLE NECK NORDSTROMS SILK TOP NORDSTROMS EYE GLASSES DESIGNER CAROLINE AVATAR

VELVET BOOTS SIMMIE SHOES OFF THE SHOULDER TOP AKIRA JEANS WINDSOR STORE PURSE TEEINCO

VELVET BOOTIES

Ankle booties are a trend that has been immensely popular for countless seasons. When the air turns cold and the crisp leaves begin to cover the ground, we turn to our trusty booties to pair with our daily outfits. This season, it’s all about elongating those legs. Skip out on big buckles and thick zippers and instead, aim for some simple velvet booties that hug your ankles. This material will add a touch of shine to your look and can easily be paired with leggings, skinny jeans and even thick nylons.

THE UNDER-SHIRT AND TURTLE NECK You don’t have to give up your summer clothes just yet. This new trend is perfect for those of you who love some good layering. Use a plain tee, v-neck, or even turtle neck basic to wear underneath some of your favorite spaghetti strap dresses or tank tops. This look will give you a very laidback feel and is perfect for fall or winter as the weather cools down.

PATCHES AND EMROIDERED EVERYTHING

I definitely wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anticipating this one, but patches and embroidery seem to be found on everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and I absolutely love it. You can easily give your outfits that extra je ne sais quoi with fun, unique patches. These badge details are not only unbelievably intriguing and fun to look at, but they also add bits of color to your daily outfits. My personal favorite is beautiful embroidered flowers on straight jeans. They can be paired with a simple knit sweater and some casual booties for fall or winter. Throw a big, over-sized jacket over them and they still look fab!

PURSE MARC JACOBS EYEGLASSES DESIGNER CAROLINE ABRAM

WIDE STRAPS What are wide straps, you ask? Well, these are guitar-sized purse straps that are going to be huge this fall and winter season. If you are like me, you gravitate towards more muted toned clothing during the colder seasons. Light grey, black, navy, beige, to name a few. There is no better way to dress up these tones than

with a wide strapped cross-body bag, which is both eye-catching and on trend this season. The fun part is finding a strap that reflects your personality. You can rock one that is completely embellished or style one that has a distinct blue and white stripe pattern on it to channel that Hampton summer beach vibe.

WHEN IS A WILL NOT A WILL? There is a massive transfer of wealth currently happening in the province, and across the country, from the baby boomer generation to their children and grandchildren. And everyone has a hand out wanting a piece of that pie. As a result, there have been a significant number of law suits generated challenging the validity or enforceability of a will left by a deceased. There are, however, only a limited number of circumstances under which a will can be challenged. The most commonly used challenges are: 1. IMPROPER EXECUTION: A will that has not been properly signed and witnessed as provided in the laws of Ontario is invalid, and can be set aside in a court of law. 2. UNDUE INFLUENCE: A will can be set aside if a person or group of persons have pressured, intimidated or otherwise influenced the deceased in the preparation of his/her will. 3. AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY: A provision in a will that is found by a court to be against public policy will be found to be invalid. A recent example of the application of this principle can be found in the case of Spence v. BMO. That case involved a father and two daughters. The father had had no relationship with one of the daughters, and was very close to and had provided money to the other daughter. That daughter told her father at one point that she was living with a man of a race different from theirs, and was going to have a baby with him. The father, upon being advised of this, stopped his communication with

that daughter, and changed his will, cutting out that daughter entirely and leaving his estate to the first daughter from whom he had been estranged. The court set aside Mr. Spence’s will as being void as against public policy. Although this case is under appeal, there is judicial authority in earlier cases for this principle, and estate planning lawyers are now delving more closely into motivations behind wills to reduce the likelihood of a challenge on this basis. 4. FAMILY LAW ACT: A spouse, instead of taking his/her inheritance arising from a will within six months of the date of death, may elect instead for an equalization of net family property under the Family Law Act, a complex calculation that evens out the value of the assets of each spouse accumulated during the marriage. 5. DEPENDANT’S RELIEF: A person who is the dependent of a deceased can challenge a will, to the extent that the will doesn’t adequately provide for that dependent.

It is our responsibility to advise our clients with regard to their estate planning needs to do our best to create an estate plan that can survive a challenge on any of the above grounds.

Canadian doctor Lt.-Col. John McRae writes â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Flanders Fieldsâ&#x20AC;? in Ypres while riding in the back of an ambulance.

The end of WW1 sees peace on the 11th hour of the 11th day, of the 11th month. The Armistice is signed at 5 am, six hours prior. But, we celebrate the first hour of peace.

The first Remembrance Day, known then as Armistice Day, is held on the Monday of the week of November 11th.

The poppy becomes the official symbol of remembrance due to its appearance on and around the graves of the fallen soldiers in Northern France.

Armistice day is changed to November 11th to avoid falling on the same day as Thanksgiving. It is renamed Remembrance Day in Canada. The US follows this change in 1954.

The Unknown Solider, who died in battle at Vimy Ridge in the 1st World War, is finally brought to Ottawa and buried in the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.

The poppy is meant to be worn from the last Friday in October until November 11th. Money raised from Poppy sales goes towards providing Veteran assistance.

OTTAWA’S OLDEST PUB The Laffayette is everything you would expect of Ottawa’s Oldest Pub. It has over 170 years of secrets hidden around every corner and under every floor board. This fascinating little stop on York Street has stood since before Canada was a country, and has welcomed many celebrities, mysterious happenings, and even a young Justin Trudeau. For a pub that pre-dates the city itself, creaky stairs and charming old architecture are just the surface. As the operations manager of the Laff, Dominique has many stories to tell about the pub and its history. They have welcomed the likes of the Blues Brother Dan Aykroyd, Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney, and Tea Party front man Jeff Martin. Justin Trudeau spent a few of his university nights at the bar, and even a certain Justin Bieber could not go a day in Ottawa without making a Laffayette appearance. Although it was built around 1845, Dominique Labelle will tell you that the pub was opened four years later in 1849. That was the first mention of the bar in history books. During the Stony Monday Riots, a political clash between the French and English, a huge brawl broke out on York Street. Bystanders sought refuge inside the hotel. It put us on the map as a shelter from the sticks and stones; from the everyday turmoil taking place on the outside. We strive to remain the place where anyone can come in and feel safe and welcome. One quickly realizes how old the pub really is by listening to the history she shares. The bar had its start by serving the men who built the canal, those who brought lumber into town, and the stone masons. All of whom, she says, built Ottawa as we know it.

Regular and loyal patron, Carey Kennedy seen here with Jeff Martin of the Tea Party.

56 | November 2016

But, throughout its 170 years, the pub was not always as popular a spot as it finds itself to be today. This, Dominique says, is normal. Reputations come and go. Sometimes you survive them with fond memories, sometimes people hold grudges. We’ve gone through so many transformations…dank old tavern…fight club…pub…Quiznos… and now back to the comfortable pub we are today.

The Market in 1911 - would have looked quite similar in 1849. Dirt roads, sparse streets, horses, buggies, and lots of farmers. And throughout those reputations, a history of the Canadian Bar scene has been reflected. The recent changes to smoking bylaws have changed the bar in a way that would have been unprecedented in its early years. The pub acknowledges its huge historical turning point. But, don’t get us wrong – smoking is awful, and working in the smoke was terrible. I don’t miss those days. Dominique had much to tell about the secrets of the old pub. She started by pointing out the ‘Ladies and Escorts’ sign on the wall that dates back to at least the late 1960’s. But most of her interesting discoveries were made while they were renovating in 1999. We found some neat little bits of history then. We found an old condom tin which I had never ever seen before. Some old postcards and boat cruise tickets were found in a fireplace on the second floor in one of the rooms. They were dated 1908 & 1910 respectively. While leveling the floors, we uncovered what looked like a tile hearth inlaid in the floor. One of the corner tiles had this really unique motif, which we’ve since copied on our wooden sign outside and our coffee table by the new fireplace. It all sounded perfectly old and creepy. But when asked about the haunted figures that must be looming the hallways, Dominque just laughed. I’m not going to say that nothing unexplainable has ever happened here, because that would be a lie. But, I invite you to walk the halls upstairs at night, or spend 5 minutes in our basement with the lights off, and you tell me if your skin crawls! One day, the jukebox came on before we opened. It played the same song 3 times, then shut off again. I think it was “Another Brick in the Wal” by Pink Floyd… Above all, the history of the bar isn’t the only thing it has to offer. We are a casual, unpretentious place that baby boomers grew up with, millennials are getting to know, and that everyone enjoys. Come as you are; no dress code, no cover. Our prices all include tax (but not the tip) so you don’t have to do the math. Our kitchen is deliciously simple, with 95% of our items made right in house; and you can get a meal for $10 any day, 11am-midnight. The bar never closes for holidays, so we’re here for you when you need us. We feature a jukebox, so that you can hear the songs you want, when our small stage isn’t occupied by the best local talent Ottawa has to offer.

Wear a Fitness Tracker, without wearing a Fitness Tracker

Never Charge Your Phone Again, Ever

A new trend in the tech world allows you to wear your fitness tracker in the way you want. LumoFit is a tracker that clips onto your clothes while you run, and offers extensive feedback on your form. For the everyday woman, Mira has a line of jewelry that double as fitness trackers. Nothing to compromise here!

A solar panel that would be placed under your touchscreen could allow the phones of tomorrow to charge themselves in the sun, rather than just over-heating. This technology, first designed for the smartphone, is something that tech leaders are saying could be seen in other types of screens, too. While Apple hinted at this feature first being seen in IPhone 7, the company did patent the technology in 2015, meaning the future of our battery lives are looking bright.

A new model of scooter is eliminating every reason you may have for not using a city-scooter.

pHacktory is a street-level research lab that uses the ideas from the community to create exciting and interactive displays. These projects allow all ages to learn about, and get involved with science and innovation. The lab had its first pop-up display last month, led by local Artist and Designer Manuel Baez, who created a single floating structure that dominated the Byward skyline, built and held onto by volunteers and passerby’s alike.

We couldn’t have asked for a better response from the community. The goal of pHacktory is to bring curiosity and discovery to the street. Judging by the smiles, laughs, and wide eyes of the hundreds who had a chance to experience Starling’s One, we were widely successful. Dr. Andrew Pelling, Founder of pHacktory

NATIONAL DAY OF LISTENING Listening is the easy part Sitting down with a friend to talk and hearing every word isn’t much of a challenge. But what else are you doing? Are you fidgeting? Working at the pulls in your sweater? Straightening up the coffee table in front of you? Most of us start to click our pens when we’re thinking. All of these things say that you are a confidant person who is most certainly not listening.

People who ask for advice rarely want advice People who need a listener will often engage you by asking for your opinion. Most of the time, what people really want to do is talk through their problem. But, asking for your counsel sounds much better than asking you to become an emotional backboard. So, when we start to voice our opinion, the listener will feel that you perceive them as incapable of solving their own problem.

Mindreaders never impress When a listener tries to infer unspoken meanings and motives from their friend, what is an attempt to really think about another’s problem becomes a shot in the dark that tells them you that you may have spent the conversation thinking about what you were going to say rather than listening.

62 | November 2016

Here’s some truth: Most of us are bad listeners. In fact, if you think you are good at listening, you probably exhibit most of the traits of a bad listener. Hear us out - if you listen to anything this month, let it be our guide to truly being all-ears. Spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with listening.

Become the perfect listener in four easy steps

After they are done talking, take a pause before you start. In this silence, it will appear like you are really thinking about what they have said.

Say their problems back to them in a quick summary. It will help them to gain perspective if they hear their problems being spoken by someone else.

Take a moment to consider their whole situation, even outside of this problem. Have they started a new job? Lost a loved one? Gotten on badly with a close friend? Ask them if this problem has any relation to other events in their life.

Rather than stating an opinion, ask questions to clarify what is being said. This will sound more like you truly care than any giving of advice would.

CRANBERRIES The little fruit with big flavour.

66 | November 2016

The smell, the taste, and the colour of these tart berries are synonymous with fall and the holiday season. These delightful treats are commonly used in sweet temptations like muffins, breads, and cakes. Of course, no Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner would be complete without the accompaniment of that bowl of sweet and tart cranberry

sauce. The timeless debate of preference over whole-berried or jellied sparks conversation at every table. However, the history of these tiny delights dates back centuries as indigenous people of the North American continent used them to make a survival cake called pemmican—a deer and cranberry staple food. The

name cranberry, as we know it today, comes from Dutch and German settlers who thought that the blossom in the late spring resembled a beautiful crane bird. Their name of ‘crane berry’ was shortened over the years. Contrary to popular belief, cranberries do not grow in water. They are grown on sandy

bogs or marshes. Because cranberries float, bogs are flooded when the fruit is ready for harvesting. This year, consider stocking up on fresh cranberries---freeze them and enjoy them throughout the winter. Remember…they have a lot more to offer us than just cranberry sauce or the traditional cranberry-nut bread.

Consider using these alternative ideas to feed your craving for fresh cranberries this season. CANDIED CRANBERRIES

CRANBERRY SALSA

1-12 oz. bag of fresh cranberries

ROASTED CRANBERRIES WITH THYME

1-12oz bag of fresh cranberries

¼ C. honey

4 T. superfine sugar, divided

2 T. granulated sugar

½ C. shallots

2 ½ T. dijon mustard

1 T. + 2 t. fresh thyme, chopped (if using dried thyme, use only 1 T.)

1 lime, zest and juice

Toss ingredients together and arrange on a parchment paper lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast at 400 degrees for approximately 20 minutes, or until the berries are caramelized and softened. Enjoy the berries, or consider stirring them into rice or as a topping for pork or chicken.

Place all ingredients (except cilantro) into a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Stir in cilantro and more lime juice, if desired. Use as a topping on crackers or as an interesting accompaniment to poultry and seafood dishes.

Combine the cranberries, water, and honey over medium-high heat and simmer until the berries pop. Cool slightly and then puree the mixture with the Dijon mustard. This makes a wonderful topping for poultry, pork, and seafood.

Pierce each of the cranberries with a skewer or toothpick and set aside. Combine water and granulated sugar in a saucepan and simmer, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Stir cranberries into the mixture. Refrigerate overnight. Drain cranberries and toss with 3 T. superfine sugar. Arrange the berries on parchment paper in a single layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining 1 T. superfine sugar. Allow the berries to dry completely—about 2-3 hours. Enjoy them as a treat or as a topping or garnish on savory and sweet dishes.

1/3 C. chopped cilantro

hen we feel stresse d out, it can be tempting to tur n to sugary treats. They taste good and seem to somehow sooth e us. It’s all an illusion! Instead, choose mostly vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds an d healthy sources of proteins. Watch your portion sizes as well.

It’s Getting Colder, -? You’RE Just Warming Up. Here’s how to stay on track while the weather says stay inside. Visualize What Breaks You Whether it’s the cold, dark mornings that get you, the seasonal recession of local produce, or the two blocks of icy sidewalk lying between you and the gym—take time this month to target your inspiration idler. Visualize yourself being faced with your challenge, and how you will feel in that moment. Anticipation is key to recognizing when your lack of motivation is coming from an outside factor, and being able to overcome it.

Get in the Habit Instead of working towards results, work towards the development of a noticeable habit. Gym twice a week? Subbing your morning coffee for water? All habits that need focusing. The results will follow.

Find Your Threshold Take a week to find the line between too easy and too much. Challenge can be motivational only when it is not overwhelming, so set reasonable goals, and try them out for size, before the cold weather really hits.

Commit to Better Sleep Around the Clock FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE SLEEP HACKS TO HELP YOU HIT THE HAY SOONER.

In the evening:

In the morning:

STOP EATING AFTER DINNER

WAKE UP AT THE SAME TIME, EVERY MORNING

Make dinner a light meal and stop eating after that. Keeping your digestive system up will keep you up, too.

IF YOU NEED A SNACK, STICK TO SLEEP—FRIENDLY FOOD

Stick to light snacks like oatmeal or cereal, bananas or cherries, or walnuts and almonds. If your not hungry but just want something with a movie or book, opt for a herbal tea.

NO SCREENS FOR AN HOUR BEFORE BED

Take a bath, read a book, or do some chores before bed. Staring at the harsh light of a computer, tv or phone screen will convince your brain that its not nighttime, and make it harder for you to fall asleep.

KEEP IT COOL IN YOUR ROOM

If you don’t believe this helps, just try sleeping in a hot and humid room.

GO TO BED AT THE SAME TIME, EVERY NIGHT

Commit to this routine, and you’ll fall asleep with ease.

Even on weekends, sticking to the same wakeup call every morning will help your body get into a sleep routine.

MAKE YOUR BED

Crawling into a made bed at night will help you to sleep better. Your inner night-owl will thank your inner early-bird.

During the Day: EXERCISE

Being active and using your energy is proven to improve sleep.

Your Work, Sleep, Run Soundtrack Pump up music is not just in your head—your favorite running song actually does help to increase your heart rate for a better workout. But why? Scientists have found that certain ranges of BPMs— beats per minutes in a song—are proven to make your heart beat faster, stimulate your brain to focus, or release calming hormones.

Running Around 140 BPM

76 | November 2016

Studying Around 90 BPM

Relaxing Around 60 BPM

Make the Most of Your Music WAKE-UP WITH MUSIC Try waking to a familiar piece of music that eases you into the day like a beautiful sunrise and starts you out in a good mood. This is easy to program if you have a smart phone that allows you to assign a song as your alarm. SING! SING! SING! Singing is one of the best ways to shift the vibrations of our thoughts and the very cells of our body, helping slow and regulate breathing and promote relaxation. Sing in the shower; sing in the car; hum a lullaby before you go to sleep. This is not a performance – just a way to help your body relax and release positive energy. SHIFT FOCUS WITH A MUSIC MANTRA Adding music to positive thoughts engages more areas of the brain and can help us, over time, reprogram our basic outlook, making us less susceptible to stress triggers. MOVE WITH MUSIC Movement—whether walking, stretching, yoga, running, playing sports, or other kinds of workout—can also be one of the best ways to eliminate built-up tension and lactic acid that gets trapped in our bodies and creates stress and disease. Adding music to these routines can enhance their effects. WORK WITH MUSIC The right background music can help everyone work through routine tasks in a better mood, and listening to inspiring music on breaks can help us recharge our own systems. Relaxing background music can also help mask potentially annoying distractions in noisier work environments.
