Name: DJ Block.

What’s your favourite thing about living in the Okanagan? My favourite thing about living in the Okanagan is the water. I have dreamt of living near water since I left my home province of Ontario at age 10. There is an essence of calm that sediments in my soul when I look out over the lake and feel the ebb and flow of nature.
If you could have lunch with anyone in the world, who would you choose and why? I would dine out for lunch with Lady Diana, formerly Princes of Wales, if she were still alive.
Some people used to say I looked like her when my hair was shorter, which I took as an incredible compliment. But the truth is her heart is what appealed to me the most; she was humble, kind, and had an incredible personal spirit that knew what she valued above all status or power; the human spirit.
What’s your go-to happy place? My go-to happy place is being on the water, gliding through easy flow, or battling against a strong wind. The energy of water is an amazing element for rest, rejuvenation and realignement.
What are you most proud of? I am most proud of my two adult daughters, Jessie & Michaela. Their strength of spirit and hearts of hope continue to humble and inspire me.
What are the top three things on your bucket list?
1. Italy;
2. The Butterfly House Retreat Centre;
3. Co-Auther a Book.
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten? The weirdest thing I’ve ever eaten is Octopus.
Latest movie or book: My latest book was Tomorrow’s God by Heale Donald Walsch.
What’s the best gift you’ve ever received? The best gift I’ve every received is respect from a LoveSmart man.
If today were your last day, how would you spend it? If today were my last day, I would spend it with my two daughters, their loving men, my two best girlfriends, and a bottle of red wine with delectable food. We’d be on a sailboat on the ocean, watching the waves and the sunset while we laugh and remember the beautiful moments we shared together.
