Zipolita'z New Website

Hey everyone, how are you? I have been hard at work and I rebuilt my website finally.
https://zipolita.com/

https://zipolita.com/

I built a couple but just going to show off mine right now.

I wanted to show you the auctions
https://zipolita.com/auctions/

I will have a new auction start at the beginning of each month. I will add new ideas during the month so be sure to check back. All auctions will end at the end of each month and items will not be re-offered for a while, if at all, so if you want something be sure to get in there.
Right now I have 2 ballerina paintings that would look lovely in a dancer's room, studio, or store.

I am also working hard on sales and so I will have lot of cool things to buy. 
Right now I have some super cute tiny little bird houses, not sure a bird could actually go in, it is more for fun.

Tiny Houses For Sale

Blue Box For Sale
https://zipolita.com/2017/06/09/blue-box-for-sale/

Anyways if you are looking for super cool little gifts for grads, wedding, birthdays check it out and in a bit I am going to be tying them altogether with my favorite environmental causes such as the #SaveMyCoast, #StopSiteC #StopKM #FishFarmGetOut  and try and help them out and myself. My hope is to raise enough funds that I can take my daughter traveling for 6 months and learn more about our roots. I want to immerse ourselves in culture. https://tinawinterlik.blogspot.ca/2017/05/will-you-help-us-immerse-ourselves-in.html
Stay tuned.

Support the We Love You Project!

THUNDERCLAP
https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/44999-we-love-you-nyc-portraits


In honor of my friend Macarldie. We worked on the Cruise Ships together. He hated it. He woke me up to how people treat people differently in regards to race. Until then I doubted it, being from Vancouver, I just never really experienced it like that,  but I see it now in the the things that have been happening.

He was a wonderful musician, with a peaceful, gentle,  funny way about him. He would go up top decks on the ship and practice his sax. You can find his music online. I miss him. He left to soon. 

Here's another post about him. https://tinawinterlik.blogspot.ca/2012/01/in-memory-of-macarldie.html

 The most beautiful black man  I ever met. RIP my friend.

SO WHY IS THE GOP ADOPTING A DEMOCRATIC PARTY POLICY PROPOSAL?
One reason why the Republican Party is adopting this proposal could be the hope of appealing to Sanders supporters who don't want to vote for Hillary Clinton. While restoring Glass-Steagall was in the Democratic Party's preliminary 2016 platform, the Clinton campaign does not argue for the return of Glass-Steagall.

Yikes!!!  Please donate so we can get some sanity back in the world. Thank you!

Truckload of #Motherlove heads to #Crosslake

Sending love and light to this Northern Ontario community. This tragic situation will spread if Canadians - especially those in Parliament do not address colonialism, climate change,  poverty and disconnection of First Nations, Metis, Inuit and all indigenous people and the land they need to protect.  In the meantime grassroots people are organizing and sending a truckload of love!!






The beautiful thing is people are reaching out.
PEOPLE DO CARE! HELP IS ON THE WAY! HANG ON!!!

In March, Pimicikamak Cree Nation, also known as Cross Lake, declared a state of emergency after the deaths of six people by suicide since December.
 
In response, a group of Ottawa business women who make up the Facebook group Ladies Who Lunch put out the call for donations. The group's founder, Catherine Landry, launched the #MotherLove hashtag just three weeks ago, and what has happened in that time has surprised even the veteran volunteer coordinator.

 
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/donated-instruments-sporting-goods-ottawa-pimicikamak-1.3532149 

“I started (#motherlove) because I wanted to make a change,” said Landry, who had plenty of support from local business leaders, including Ottawa injury lawyer Brenda Hollingsworth. “I was just tired of seeing talk but no action was being taken, so I put it out there.”
When she asked, Landry learned the youth in the north had five specific requests.


“One was prayer, two was musical instruments, three was sports equipment, four was messages of support and hope and five was ‘things to keep us busy,'” said Landry, who called the project #motherlove “because it’s the only thing that can heal a broken kid.




“You don’t need to be a mom to do this, you just have to have a really good heart and you’ve just got to put it out there … the #motherlove tag is really strong. Anybody can be #motherlove.”

Dr. Bert Lauwers spent seven years at the Office of the Chief Coroner in Ontario. In 2012, he published a paper that extensively reviewed suicide in children ages 10-19 at the  First Nation in Northern Ontario. His research sheds valuable light on what some are calling a suicide pandemic in Indigenous communities across Canada. Dr. Lauwers is now the Vice President of Medical at Ross Memorial Hospital.

Amy Hookimaw, 13, says youth in Attawapiskat need to know people care about them.

Her mother said parents need to talk to their children more.

She also said the community sees a lot of bullying. 
“There is big bullying going on in town,” said Mattinas, who is a single mother of eight children

“My heart is aching and broken due to the fact that we are continuing to lose young people to suicide,” wrote Solomon in the letter dated March 8. “Our communities continue to do their best with existing available resources and efforts to reduce our unpredictable suicide pandemic, but we are struggling with and need intervention and support from Ontario and Canada. I am sure that you notice that the suicide disease is reaching unprecedented levels…this is a national pandemic and we need immediate action from all levels of government.



A group of walkers from Attawapiskat, Kashechewan and Fort Albany First Nation went on a healing walk last week in response to the suicide crisis gripping their communities. Screen grab from video by Jackie Hookimaw.

From Anne Laalo
Just had a chat with the Economic Development Officer of the Attawapiskat First Nation; who also happens to be the Manager of the Attawapiskat Development Corporation in charge of all telecommunication for the Nation.

I asked him how I and all of those involved in the ‪#‎motherloveattawapiskat‬ project could help his community both in the short term and in the long term. He was so grateful for my call.
He said that in the short term, anything to help keep the kids and teenagers keep busy before and after school would be great. He listed items like:

-Baseball bats, gloves and balls
-All types of balls and pumps to keep them inflated
-Skates
-Bikes
-Needlework supplies including beads
-Boardgames
-All types of school supplies
-Funding to setup after school programs, outdoor programs and healing circles

As for the long term, he asked that we keep sending our parliamentarians letters urging them to work with them in finding a sustainable longterm plan for their community.

Since he is the man in charge of telecommunications, he asked if it was okay to put ad on television tonight about my call and ‪#‎motherlove‬; I said absolutely!

We will keep in touch and he very much looks forward to receiving Kindness Cards and Letters. He promises to distribute them first in the schools and then to the population at large.

Please send cards and letters to:
Attawapiskat First Nation, Attn: Mr Kebokee, Box 248, Attawapiskat, ON. P0L1A0

My cards have been dropped off to be taken to Attawapiskat tomorrow. Safe travels!

Each card has a little crochet heart inside the envelope with it for the recipients to have some love with them when they need it.




The inspiration for this entire project came from the love that Creegirl Kicknosway has for her son THELAND .The bond they have and the love they share = #MOTHERLOVE
Thank you both for everything.



RIP Sheridan - I send love and light to everyone who loved her. I am so sorry she hurt so badly and felt so lost. Shame on Canada for failing her.  Let's not fail anymore beautiful souls.

Sheridan Hookimaw, 13, was found dead outdoors in October. Her death was determined to be a suicide. Family

The West is YET to come!! GO BERNIE!!

GO BERNIE! GO BERNIE! WOOT! WOOT!!

Climate Change is Real &
 it is caused by human activity. 

"Together we are going to take on the fossil fuel industry and transform our energy!!"

"No mother should have to be separated from her baby because she lacks necessary income!

"HEALTH CARE FOR ALL!!"

Don't let the PEOPLE tell you that you CAN'T THINK BIG!!

"All of us are getting RIPPED OFF without mercy by the GREED of the Pharmaceutical Industry"

"We have to make public Colleges & Universities tuition free!"

"This is not a radical idea...
It exists in other Germany, Scandanavia,
If they can do it, we can do it

the other related issue we have to deal with is the outrageous level of student debt "

"When you think about Crazy, Listen to this,..."We tell the young people you got to go out and get the best education you can, for yourselves, for  for the country and yet many of them are $30,000 & $50,000 in debt because they got an education, THAT'S CRAZY!"

Impose tax on Wall Street speculation and use that to make colleges and university free.

Everyone  here understands one historical facts,
CHANGE- REAL CHANGE NEVER HAPPENS FROM THE TOP ON DOWN!!

IT ALWAYS TAKES PLACE FROM THE GRASSROOTS UP!!

"WE WILL NOT ACCEPT RACISM IN AMERICA!" 

"WE WILL NOT ACCEPT WOMEN BEING TREATED AS SECOND-CLASS CITIZENS"





"IN AMERICA PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO LOVE WHOEVER THEY WANT TO LOVE"

"DO NOT SETTLE FOR THE STATUS QUO WHEN THE STATUS QUO IS BROKEN!!" 


"WE DON'T MAKE CHANGE IF THEY DIVIDE US UP!!"

"WE ARE TO SMART TO FALL  FOR THAT!!

"SO, IF WE STAND TOGETHER, AS BLACK & WHITE & LATINO & ASIAN AMERICAN & NATIVE AMERICAN,   IF WE STAND TOGETHER, AS GAY & STRAIGHT, MEN & WOMEN,  IF WE STAND TOGETHER AS PEOPLE WHO HAVE BORN IN THIS COUNTRY AND HAVE COME TO THIS COUNTRY,IF WE STAND TOGETHER, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN NOT ACCOMPLISH!!!!!

Painting Wolf Demo #1 to #3 by Zipolita

Helloooooooooo!!

So for me, painting is art therapy. Some of you may know I was on the computer so much this last week, trying to prepare an application for something special I wanted. I finally submitted it. Now I need stress relief!!

 So I got a new tripod (I have wanted one for a really long time) that can be mounted on almost anything and I rigged it to photograph my painting, so I can show my progress.

I goofed it though as the photos were not cropped exactly the same. I will do better tomorrow when I try to repeat this and every day that I paint so I can show you my progress.

Support these Nuns- Stop the Bluegrass Pipeline

She sums it up perfectly, "as long as we support fossil fuels we will continue on the broken road we are on." Please help Support these ladies. Fight for the environment there and here. Save our Coast, our province and out country from these insane pipelines.

In this day and age...and after all the environmental disasters either man-made or weather related(global warning)(Calgary's , Colorado, Mexico flooding, fires all over, now the devastation in the Phillipines) this is not rocket science.

God did not intend for us to do this to the earth. We are not intended to live like this, that is why there is so much stress, sadness and poverty in the world. There are better ways and we must strive to live in harmony with the earth. Humans have done more damage in 200 years than ever before.

Will we become dinosaurs, we will be wiped out, we will do it ourselves by creating the havoc we have. Or will we stop RIGHT NOW and turn it around. 

We have all the knowledge and technology to do it. We have to be united though, we have to stand together and support each other, we have to do it for ourselves, our families, our children and the children of the future.

We have to do it for all God's creations. Life is a miracle, no one has the right to destroy it in the way it's being done with pollution and environmental disasters(Fukushima)...especially for greed which is what the pipelines, nuclear energy and corporations are.

They are not about people or animals or the environment. They are about greed.  So let's do what we can and stop this mess. Let's stand together hand in hand and say "That's enough!!"

 The solutions are out there, let's focus on them and turn this world around!!

I think it's time for A "HUG"


Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com 

Well after all the stuff that's been happening lately, it's time for a "HUG"
