L. Neil ThrussellA Farewell from the Heart: The End of a Chapter, the Beginning of a New One
In the fall of 2003, on a tearful drive from Calgary to Edmonton for a family Thanksgiving dinner, something quietly powerful was born. Amid heartbreak and reflection, we pulled into a registry office in Edmonton. With shaking hands and hopeful hearts, we registered the name Best U Can B. It wasn’t just a name—it was a promise. A commitment. A calling.
Over the past 23 wonderful years, I’ve had the honour of supporting and guiding countless souls on their personal journeys. Through signature programs like Sage Within, Spiritual Warrior, Sacred Journey, The Challenge Day, and a host of heartfelt offerings like Beyond Fear, Vision Board workshops, and Conversation Cafés, I’ve had the sacred privilege of witnessing lives shift, hearts open, and courage rise.
The journey has been profound. The people I’ve met—so varied, so inspiring—have deeply enriched my life and spirit. I am endlessly grateful.
And yet, as life does, it has shifted me in new directions.
Over the last year, my focus has quietly realigned. I’ve been called deeper into supporting men’s work and immersing myself in my writing. Somewhere along the way, I wandered from the Best U Can B community—not out of neglect, but because the next chapter was gently calling.
So it is with both a full heart and peaceful resolve that I share this:
I will no longer be writing or offering programs under the banner of Best U Can B Inc.
This isn’t a goodbye—just a redirection of energy and purpose.
If you’ve journeyed with me thus far and would like to continue walking alongside me, I warmly invite you to join me at https://neilthrussell.com. That’s where I now share my latest books, reflections, and updates on the transformational men’s work I’m so passionate about.
I’d be honoured to have you there. Come join me on my writing journey, and let’s continue to explore the depths of life, love, and soul together.
Thank you—for your trust, your presence, and your open heart over these past two decades.
Love fully.
Live bravely.
And no matter what, keep being the Best U Can B.
With fierce gratitude and deep respect,
Neil Thrussell
Spiritual Warrior. Writer. Brother on the path.
