After several months of not updating my blog with news, trends and even a simple recipe, I think it is time for a little update…so many events and changes have occurred since my last post. We’ve rejoiced in the newly elected President Obama but yet we’ve lost a few legends… Farah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, Billy Mays and of course Michael Jackson (whose death and current investigation has usurped all of the leading news focus eclipsing many recent breaking-news events).

This summer the city of Toronto workers went on strike leaving the streets filled with rubbish and odors that I’m sure foreigners can smell from abroad. (This is probably why many are refusing to visit beautiful Toronto this summer).

We have seen Twitter become the new “cool” trend resulting in Facebook changing their format (yet again) to resemble Twitter’s format. We’re seeing the ladies of “The View” talk about Twitter after discussing affordable fashion *sigh*…yes I do sometimes catch “The View”… at least I’m man enough to admit it.

Personally I’ve made a few changes:  After spending two years in Toronto, I made the move to the beautiful island of Trinidad & Tobago.  My reason is primarily career-related but also I feel that a change of scenery was both inevitable and necessary.

With that in mind keeping aligned with the theme of change…I am making a few changes on this blog (I still intend to keep the “Recipe & Wine of the week” but this time it will actually be a weekly update instead of a sporadic post. Café Ole will still discuss branding, advertising and marketing topics however I’d like to streamline the topics in a more organized fashion.

Stay tuned!

I’m hoping for the remainder of 2009, we continue to adapt to the rapid changes occurring in our lives. Change and how we deal with it is a very important indicator to where our future is heading.
