Recently my beloved Zipolite has been getting some very bad press.

Poor Zipolite.

It's been hammered the last 20 years + with hurricanes, fires, tons of development, airbnbs invasions and now our beautiful Matriarch Gloria passed and all hell broke loose. Which we knew would happen but it's still sad and needs to be addressed.

Gloria and I, we tried to add our 2 cents about 5 years ago and well we got shut down real fast. I backed off. I was concerned for my kid. I took her there many times during her life. Here she was 15 and some things we saw were definitely not appropriate....not anything like I heard and read in the New York Times.

Wow, Zipolite was supposed to be famous for it's openess and beauty but not orgies and who knows what else. Que Triste!!

So I am going to work on changing the energy and share a bunch of stuff. Try to raise the vibration in the positive direction. I hope you enjoy my posts.

Here goes Some are old videos that just have not had many views because I did not share them much. Everything changed and I took a year off so that changed a bunch of stuff...

Barely been on here...so we shall see.

New Video: Mi Vida Aqui y Mas

Hey heh hey!!

Very cool to be back.

My gosh. Hard to type. Been a while. I have been on my phone and tablet but never my laptop. Need practice. Well my darlings...here is a treat if you been missing the ole Zipolite that I love and some other places thrown in that you know well or may want to. A trip down memory lane for me.

I haven't made a video in ages. Need to brush up and my blogging. I always loved Blogger. My sweetie. Always easy for me. Wordpress and I have just never been best buds...even though I tried.

I will post a few more videos. Try to jazz this old blog up...bring it back to life maybe. It's been taking a bit of a nap...but I feel it yawning....

Okay have a nice day!

VSB Legacy Carving Project-Happy Indigenous Peoples Day Everyone

Well hellooooo!

It has definitely been a while. I have contemplated shutting down this blog, so much has changed since I started it. We can discuss that later but for now here is the reason I felt compelled to ACT!

One of the things I hear is a lot of talk but see very little ACTION! Yesterday I saw action. I witnessed a wonderful inspiring ceremony of de-colonization and a small step in the right direction.

I am not going to say much more please look at the photos and watch the video. Sorry it is lacking a lot of credits but I wanted to share it while it is fresh.

Legacy Carving Project

Jun. 21, 2019

In honour of truth and reconciliation, the District partnered with local Indigenous artists to bring one 44-foot Reconciliation Pole and two Welcome Figures to the Education Centre. A collection of three poles together is a national first for a public school.
Recognizing that the District is on the traditional unceded territory of Indigenous land, we wanted to acknowledge the important role the Indigenous culture plays by installing these three poles. Carved out of 300 to 500 year-old cedar logs, the poles are a reminder of the District’s connection to the First peoples, the Musqueam nation whose unceded lands the Education Centre resides as well as, the surrounding nations of the Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish Coast Salish peoples and the urban indigenous community.
On June 21, 2019, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, the District will publicly unveil the Reconciliation Pole and two Welcome Figures. Please join us from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Education Centre (1580 West Broadway, Vancouver) or stream the ceremony live at Legacy - Live Broadcast Part 1 and Part 2. Witness the unveiling ceremony and cultural teachings of Indigenous drummers and singers.
We’re carving a legacy for current and future VSB students #VSBLegacy
