Wow so excited to find this online. If you haven't seen it please watch. I remember watching this my mom when I lived out in the valley. It was just before I went back to college and it made such a huge impression on me. Sadly nothing has changed and everything the Kogi's said is coming true!

Don't you just love giveways.  I saw an post on Facebook for the Lego Minecraft kit. Now here's the interesting thing. Angel got some birthday money. She's really into this Minecraft although she doesn't have the actual online game. She watches the videos online. Anyways we saw that the Granville Island Toy Company had just gotten the Lego Minecraft in.

I had a job interview, so she went with her step dad and I gave her $20 of her birthday money to spend.

When I got home...things had not gone as planned. My day had been very disappointing and that was okay because she told me as I walked in the door she had a present for me. It was so sweet. A little black stuffed kitty, filled with lavender. I asked why. She said because she wanted to cheer me up.  Her step dad knew I didn't want to spend her money on me and had told her but she had insisted...and in the end I was so touched because she had taken that money and bought a very thoughtful gift...

this was after they went to the store and the Minecraft Lego was $44..

So anyways a week or so pass and there's this giveaway...what do you know ...we won.
Isn't that great!!

Here's the pics.

She's having a lot of fun with it. Besides having Steve and Creeper, she made a little version of herself. It's really cute. Thanks Granville Island Toy Company!! http://www.toycompany.ca/

Wow, this is a brilliant idea. So cool these guys are reaching out and bringing awareness to this huge issue while at the same time inspiring youth and giving them hope that they can do something about it.




Published on Jul 2, 2013
The Jellyfish Project is an educational initiative focused on generating awareness among youth about the declining health of our world's oceans and our environment at large. Through the power of music and live performance, students are engaged into the environmental conversation and are given information on how to become active participants in the sustainability movement.

This video is 22:13 minutes but it's well worth watching. Check out Deepak as he explains his beliefs to skeptic Richard Dawkins. It's  fabulous interview.

Right now I am doing the 21 day Meditation Challenge https://chopracentermeditation.com/home and I am really enjoying it.

Watching this video made me appreciate and love Deepak even more. So glad he's here to straighten people like Dawkins out!!

From the Parks Canada Website-
About this Video

The Gwaii Haanas Legacy Pole is a 42-foot monumental pole commissioned by a unique cooperative management board made up of equal members of the Haida Nation and the Government of Canada. Known as the Archipelago Management Board (AMB), the body is renowned throughout the world as a model for cultural and natural resource governance. The pole is being carved to honour the 20th anniversary of the Gwaii Haanas Agreement, the cornerstone of a groundbreaking relationship that protects the natural and marine resources.

The Gwaii Haanas Legacy Pole will be raised at Hlk'yah GawGa (Windy Bay) on Lyell Island on Aug. 15, 2013. This will be the first pole raised in the Gwaii Haanas region in over 130 years, building a connection with the historic poles still standing in the villages of SGang Gwaay (also a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and Skedans (K'uuna Llnagaay).

Great to hear schools are involved.

"We have a few new programs like “Kids Growing Pumpkins” where elementary school kids are targeting to grow 20,000 lbs. of pumpkins to give away to needy families. Our farm goal is 100,000 lbs of vegetables to charity which I really see as an achievable goal. Thus far, the crops slated for charity will be corn, potatoes, cabbage, carrots, turnips, beets, several varieties of squash as well as whatever else we can grow with further funding.With the great support from the aforementioned"

This is so cool. I came across this on my FB page today. It was posted by the Bard- http://www.bardonthebeach.org/blog/201308/bear-finds-its-way-vanier-park

Check it out!! We will have to go have a look!! :D


 Go to Bard on the Beach for more info. http://www.bardonthebeach.org/ The bear is apparently the audience's favourite for Elizabeth Rex. We saw Twelfth Night http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.ca/2013/07/the-bard-was-great-dont-miss-it-twelfth.html  a few weeks ago. It was excellent.
