I was devastated today! When I heard that the Enbridge Pipeline was approved, I wanted to throw up.

I was so sad, I was in disbelief. How? After all the petitions, rallies, blogposts, ....Harper still pushed it threw. How EVIL!!

I took a nap...I just wanted to forget...I knew the rally was on at 5:30 but I felt so low I almost didn't go. But I did, Angel and I both went and I am so glad. I feel better now. I feel united. We are in for the fight of our lives I fear.

Here is the video I did manage to get. So sad because my battery ran out and then my camera space was full so I missed some of the best parts, especially Ta'Kaiya's songs and but here is what I did get.

Listen to what these people have to say, especially these brave women. Come on ladies of BC, Canada, US, Mexico, The World, we have the power, we have a voice and it's time it was heard. Let's protect OUR CHILDREN and MOTHER EARTH and get behind them and support them in anyway we can.

This is going to take effort from the entire INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY!! We need to shut down the real TERRORIST and we all know who it is...it's HARPER!! He needs to go to jail for crimes against nature and humanity. Correction : July 2nd is the next rally- GET OUT THERE!!

IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK!

It's not worth the risk! This video explains it all so clearly.

Risking it All - Oil on our Coast from Twyla Roscovich on Vimeo.

"The north and central coast of British Columbia is one of last great wilderness areas that still supports a vibrant & productive ecosystem.

Home to thousands of runs of salmon, steelhead, grizzlies, wolves, orca, rare white bears, dolphins, porpoises and hundreds of other species, the coast is a natural spring of wealth & wonder.

The plan to build the Enbridge pipeline, with ensuing tanker traffic, threatens all of this- the coastal ecosystem, the coastal economies and local food security."

We have to stay united on this. For our children, grandchildren and the future of our great mother earth!! Come down tonight and let's make a lot of noise !!

Please Join the RALLY TONIGHT!!

How it ever got to this amazes me. What are Harper and Christy Clark thinking? GREED!! When are people going start really looking for alternatives to oil. Don't they see what's happened in the Amazon.

Dennis McClung coaxes organic tomatoes, fresh eggs, bananas, fish, and zucchini out of the desert—an even more righteous repurposing of an old pool than a skate park. Sustainable ingenuity at its best.

This is such a brilliant idea and it matches nicely with the other idea I had this morning and that is building an Eco School in Zipolite.

http://zipolitemexico.blogspot.ca/2014/06/lets-build-eco-school-in-zipolite.html

So I have this idea to build an Eco School in Zipolite. For long time I have had a dream of putting an Edible Schoolyard in Zipolite. Have you heard of the Eco School in Sayulita and there's a Green School in Bali and they actually have an Eco School in Sayulita so there is no reason we shouldn't have on it Zipolite

For a little bit, Angel went to Arroyo Tres. This location would be perfect I think. It has a lovely little piece of land behind it that would make a wonderful garden. By the time we return Angel will be to old to attend...if say it's just for elementary but if it's for high school that would be wonderful.
Even if she could help with the elementary children that would be a wonderful experience. She spent the last year helping peer mentor the kindergartens so I know she would be a great asset.

I know the school she attends now...they got a grant from LULULEMON for $9000 to build an Edible Schoolyard...

For that kind of money...we could build a whole school for $9000 ...possibly...depending on the materials but I believe we could go to Indiegogo and start something. https://www.indiegogo.com/campaigns/new

What do you think? I can't do this by myself...and I am not even there right now....

Message to Harper- We don't want your STINKIN' PIPELINE MR. HARPER!!

Do you get it NOW!!! but of course not, your too dense and uncaring and evil...you couldn't even take time to meet those youths that walked 1600 miles....but instead did the Panda shoot....

a Hug and a few kind Words

Hey everyone, I was wondering if you could take a moment and think happy positive thoughts for Stephanie.

You don't know her and neither do I but on my way to work I passed by her and she was crying. I asked if she was okay and she said "not really." I asked if she wanted a hug...and she said "okay!" Then I told her it was all going to be okay and she just had to think positive.

I looked into her eyes and asked if it was "really bad." She said she hadn't worked in like 6 months and she just got a job and she lost it. I told her that whenever a door closes and new one opens.

Then I told her how just last year I got a job at Vancouver Children's hospital taking photos of the babies...but it wasn't a good fit and that the same thing happened, I lost it the first day...but that very soon after I was accepted to my 6 month intensive program at Emily Carr in the Interaction Design Program and then as soon as that ended I got my job at the Granville Island Soap Gallery. I told her to project what she wants and it will happen.

I gently but firmly told her to stay positive. She said "she would try" between the tears.... I said "don't try, do it...be positive and good things will happen."
and I smiled a lot...

Then I told her I had to rush off for work but that everything will be okay. She thanked me and said I had helped her a lot and she really needed to hear something like that.

So that is why I would like you to all say a little prayer and hope she finds the perfect job.

And also the next time you see someone crying...at least ask if they are okay...a few kind words and hug can really help turn around someone's bad day.

We've all been there... Sending you all GREAT BIG HUG and saying prayers and thinking positive thoughts for you all to achieve your dreams. Love ya

Eyes On the Road- Please Watch!

Spelling Mistakes & Time

You may find spelling and grammar mistakes in my blog. I do try to go back and correct them when I notice them and have time .

The reason is my brain works faster than I can type. As you can see I am SUPER VISUAL which is why I like to share photos, drawing, paintings, videos, film, but typing can be labourious sometimes and I don't care for it because people sometimes misinterpret my tone.

Tone is very hard to convey in type sometimes, fonts themselves can mess with everything. So this is why you will find spelling mistakes.

Also as I say to my friends, love me or leave me. If you like my blog stay and visit, if not move along and I wish you a lovely day.

I just wanted to add a little bit that things change with time. There may posts on here from 7 years ago and I have grown, and learned so much since then, that I may think differently. So when you read my posts also consider the age of it.
Thanks!
