The Art of Joy and Happiness

I always wonder why some people get it and others don’t. I am referring to the joy that comes from helping others. No, this letter was no...

I have always been amazed at how many of us have a talent or passion for something, and yet – we do not possess the courage to move forth...

The above quote sums up this issue of Dolce Vita. Much like the gentleman Hal Jackman on our front cover, his stare — which can come across as scolding, intimidating, even — pins you in your place, daring you to open this magazine. His message, however, is from the heart, meant to ignite within our readers’ passion to give it all you got, and...

It was with pleasure that I accepted Michelle’s invitation to write the publisher’s letter for this winter edition of Dolce Vita Magazine. Not only is this a very special issue, it also marks a very special time: our 16th year in publishing. As I reflect upon the challenges that come with the industry, I can’t help but to feel a sense of prid...
Stir it Up!
August 16, 2012 by Michelle Zerillo-Sosa
Michelle
Life is like having a cup of tea. You sit by the side of the window, lift the cup and take a careless sip, only to realize, somebody forgot to put the sugar. Too lazy to go for it you somehow struggle through the sugarless cup. Until you discover un-dissolved sugar crystal sitting at the bottom. I often wonder how life can be sweet for some ...

Power of Giving
Welcome to my favourite issue and time of year. The winter edition of Dolce Magazine delivers some great stories that all share an invisible thread that binds them together. It’s an underlying lesson shared by some outstanding protagonists about the true power of giving and personal engagement. We were ecstatic to be welcomed to Hilary Wes...
Youth has No Age

"Youth has no age" – Pablo Picasso. We are often reminded that youth is beauty almost daily by media and society. I personally disagree with the belief that beauty diminishes as age advances. On the contrary, I believe that a person becomes even more beautiful as he or she goes through life and embraces his or her age, rather than fighting...

We are all summoned to answer the call of charitable action. Whether it be at home while having dinner, as things heat up at a live auction, or as we are stopped at a light waiting to go our way, and suddenly see someone standing there with a sign. How you choose to react to these events is up to you. Although they might seem small, they are ...

I always wonder why some people get it and others don’t. I am referring to the joy that comes from helping others. No, this letter was not a mix-up. For with a topic like this, it would seem most appropriate for a holiday issue, but that is only because it’s then when we are really forced to look within to reconcile our less-than-perfect ways. ...
A Bit of Karma
December 14, 2010 by Michelle Zerillo-Sosa
Michelle
As we prepare for this holy time of year, it is normal to want to reflect upon how we have behaved. Just as your financial advisor can look upon your reports and make certain recommendations, so can you. All you need is some peaceful space to ponder upon your actions or lack thereof. In order to make the exercise of implementing recommendation o...

Michelle Zerillo-Sosa
I have always been amazed at how many of us have a talent or passion for something, and yet – we do not possess the courage to move forth and share these gifts with the rest of the world. I call them gifts because I feel the reason we were given them is to share with others. Our gift to you, our reader, is our passion and relentless search for p...
