I have copied this from the Shambhala Vision Facebook page. Please visit it and see the photos of the devastation  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.263100920460652.47568.250304258406985&type=1 for yourself. They are trying to raise $2000. Every little bit helps. PLEASE HELP!

Shambhala- devastated by Hurricane Carlotta. Please Help!!

Dear friends! Shambhala is soggy and and battered, but recovering slowly. Power, water and cellular service have been restored, and we've just had our first 24hrs without rain. We are cleaning and repairing as best we can. Every square foot of Shambhala inside and out was covered with crud, and everything got wet. Two cabanas were completely destroyed, and most of the other roofs have problems and are leaking. almost all the mattrasses are damp, and there are mountains of laundry to do, but it is difficult with the rain. Hopefully we have some more sun so we can dry things out a bit, but the rain never goes away for long.

To the people who have forwarded us money, thank you!! We have raised 4000 pesos so far and that money is going directly into relief efforts. We've bought nails, hinges, and other hardware, cleaning supplies, and some much-needed groceries to provide decent nutrition to the workers, friends and volunteers who are here rebuilding Shambhala. Some Shambhala workers have also lost homes in this storm, they need to be paid.

We are still in serious need of help. Most of all we need building and roofing materials -- tiles, laminate, palm fronds, etc. and tarps. The longer we go without proper roofing, the worse the damage gets. And the electric bill is due. If you are planning to visit Shambhala in the future, to stay or even just for a meal, we would be grateful if you would forward us payment in advance. The current need is great. Any amount you provide will be put to immediate use aiding recovery. Of course if you simply feel moved to help us, we would be very grateful.

With all of the Shambhala familia, far and wide, pulling together we will get through this. Thank you everyone for your support and well-wishes. Keeps sending positive energy! Love to you all..

 Shambhala needs your help. Hurricane Carlotta destroyed many structures, roofs, furnishings, etc. 

 Gloria is humbly suggesting that friends and family of Shambhala pre-pay their next Shambhala visit now, in this time of serious need. 

Any funds you contribute now can be applied to a future visit, with a paypal receipt. 

 Even if you aren't planning a visit, any donation amount helps. Rebuild Shambhala -CLICK HERE

   Please Help Shamblala!

Happy National Aboriginal Day :)

From Wikipedia:

National Aboriginal Day is a day recognizing and celebrating the cultures and contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada.^[1] The day was first celebrated in 1996, after it was proclaimed that year by then Governor General of Canada Roméo LeBlanc, to be celebrated on June 21 annually. Most provincial jurisdictions, however, do not recognise it as a statutory holiday

Made this last summer, we had a great time at the Stanley Park

In 1995 I did a Photography project that I did while attending Langara's Professional Photography Program. It was called "People in Tradition Dress."

Here's one photo.
Read here for more. I really LOVE this image. It's a black and white photos, taken on a medium format camera. Then printed and hand-coloured with oils.

Poverty- Not the American Dream

I can totally relate to that lady whose "been crying all day" and those 2 little boys, well if they don't make you cry you must have a heart of stone. They talk about the American Dream...well I can only speak for the Canadian Dream...that it is very similar here and all I can say is that it wasn't supposed to be this way. I just don't believe there was supposed to such a mass of millionaires and billionares and then people who have nothing.

It's hard to believe that my grandparents came to Canada to get their little piece of land and now so many people who are all on the verge of homelessness or are homeless. There grandparents and parent worked hard too. What the frig is happening. How can things get better. What has to change???

So many children growing up in poverty, going to bed hungry, worrying all the time about money. So gross, so sad. My mother's family had a very hard time during the depression and the physical effects of lack of  good nutrition sadly took their toll on her body her entire life.

I hope this movie gets made. It looks really good and maybe just maybe it will open peoples eyes about the true face of poverty.

My prayers for everyone in this movie and for everyone dealing with issues like this.

Did you see, in BC we regained a tiny step...people are now allowed to keep $200 while on assistance. Before it was clawed back. People were being horribly oppressed but now maybe this will help the tinyiest. It comes to late for some.

The stupid part of the deal is now they are making it harder to get assistance. Making people wait 5 weeks.

If the Politicians would give up their pensions and put that money into some kind of growing fund...maybe some kind of progress could be made. The system pretty darn hopeless and in my opinion is more of an abuser than a aid.

Yurts & Woofing

I have to tell you I am so psyched...I spoke with the family we are woofing with today and WOW! it's going to be great. The woman whom I spoke with has ordered a Yurt and is just waiting for it to arrive. PLEASE, may I ask you to take a second, and lets say a collective prayer together to bring the Yurt to it's new home...and we the lucky souls get to be the first to live it it. Isn't that the coolest.

Not only that this lady is an Art Therapist. I am just so happy it's all coming together and how it's coming together is so special and magical and spiritual...

Anyways I want to share with you what I have found on Yurts. It's changed my view of them and opened my mind and I am just so appreciative of people who have traveled and shared their knowledge and developed and adapted their ideas and materials to function in different environments.

Original Description: Full-length profile portrait of Turkman woman, standing on a carpet at the entrance to a yurt, dressed in traditional clothing and jewelry. Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, digital rendering for the Library of Congress by Walter Frankhauser / WalterStudio

For a long time now I have been a huge fan of cob houses but these Yurts are super cool also. Check it out!

http://yurta.ca/
http://www.coloradoyurt.com/yurts/

 I love what it says on this site...

Yurts. Don’t Box Yourself In!

Create the space you long for: luxurious, simple or somewhere in between

With its circular design and spacious interior, the yurt encourages both social activity and quiet contemplation. With a few friends, you can set up a yurt up in a day or two. Wire it, heat it and plumb it just like a traditional home. Or go off-the-grid and live sustainably in a yurt. Create big family meals in the kitchen. Add a bathroom or a luxurious spa. Based on the traditional Mongolian yurt, also known as a ger, our high-quality, affordable, durable, Colorado Yurt could be just what you’re looking for!


OMG...isn't this the way it's meant to be...I love this idea...live off the grid.

Well let's pray the Yurt arrives from it's destination soon and we get to experience this life...as we go woofing.

What's woofing.. Check it out. http://www.wwoof.ca/

Stay Tuned...it's going to be interesting. Cheers.

Art Therapy  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_therapy
Because of its dual origins in art and psychotherapy, art therapy definitions vary. It can either focus on dealing with the art-making process as therapeutic in and of itself ("art as therapy"), or on the psychotherapeutic transference process between the therapist and the client who makes art. The therapist interprets the client's symbolic self-expression, as communicated in the art, and elicits interpretations from the client. Read More

I just LOVE the Queen's website for the Diamond Jubilee, it's fabulous. So down-to-earth and I love the child-like drawing and feel of it. It's so welcoming and FUN!! and the Queen looks fabulous. I always thought my mom looked a lot like the Queen and so it seems even more special to me.

Shame on Richard Branson for Miss Representation

Did you hear how Christie Clark and Richard Branson had an issue this week.

He suggested that she come kite surfing with him, naked, on his back.... EWWWW! and then he apologized on Twitter.

There is everything soooooo sooooooooooooo wrong with all of it.

Now I don't even like Christie Clark- as a politician...but that's besides the point .... the main thing I want to point out is that Why! Why would he think that the Kitesurfing thing was okay. Boggles my mind.

I used to think Richard Branson was this super cool intelligent guy...oops, my mistake...or maybe just his mistake but he has the money, he could fix it. 

I have no issues with nudity, but there's a time and place and taking a photo of a woman in that way is so degrading and really disrespectful to all women. And to flaunt it and tweet it...What was he thinking??
Maybe your not well Richard?

Why are women being Miss Represented in the Media like this? You would never see a man like that?

And why did that women do that and why would she/they have a photo taken and let it be released for everyone to see. (Obviously money and misguided)

I'm not perfect and I've made mistakes.

Richard sort of apologized.

Richard have you seen this video? I think you should watch it and if you were a very "WISE" man, and if you love women, children, people, mankind you will put some of those big bucks into Stopping the Miss Representation of Women.

Shame on you Richard. But you CAN make it Right! I hope you will.

I'm not going to post that photo or any links to it. If you didn't see it, I'm sure you can google it. But I won't be a part of exploiting the miss representation of women in the media.

The GREAT Campaign came to life at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) on May 24 2012, with an exciting flash mob near the international food court (performed to 'Jumpstart' by These Kids Wear Crowns). Dancers were dressed as the Spice Girls, The Beatles, Austin Powers, David Beckham, Elton John and Harry Potter, alongside Union Jack T-Shirts - celebrating GREAT Britain. The UK is in the world spotlight in 2012, with the Diamond Jubilee and London Olympics fast approaching. The GREAT Campaign is a global initiative, which leverages this platform, to remind the world of what is GREAT about Britain, For more information visit: www.facebook.com/ThisisGREATBritain

What is so bizarre and sad about this situation is that I read a book back in 1990 talking about Ecuador and all the damage that was done there with broken pipelines and spills and here I am blogging about such a tragedy and telling people about this terrible thing that is happening...and then all of sudden here it is. Right in my backyard....the same potential for LOOMING disaster,...

We all have to get together and make our voices heard on this. It's going to be a tough to win but we can do it. Be sure to share this and tell there friends. TAKE ACTION! JOIN THE MOVEMENT. STOP THE PIPELINE!

I've been seeing alot of interesting media reports coming out of Quebec. This video really peaked my interest. I'm not condoning any violence but I am sure proud of all the people coming together to support radical bills and unfairness. The education system is just a money making racket that leaves people with huge debt and it's good that people recognise it and stand up for their rights!

Happy Victoria Day! Well it's pouring :(  The pool opened this weekend and it was sunny and beautiful although there was a slightly chilly wind, hey we were loving it. But then the clouds rolled in and it got windy and started pouring and it's still pouring. What to do?

Paint...that's what I will do in a bit. Just have to go get some canvas...and we have to venture out into the wet cold day, but it will be worth it :)

Go for a walk...in the rain. Sometimes it's fun to go out and get all wet. Really enjoy the rain, especially if you can walk in the forest or at the beach. The air does smell lovely when it's pouring and Mother Nature is cleaning everything...including the air.

Clean- Yuck...forget that! It's a holiday ;)

Visit with friends, that's always nice. Try to get a group of friends together and go out for lunch.

Make something...on the computer or with your hands. Work on that photo album or video or what ever it is you never seem to get to...today is the day.

Snuggle up and watch a movie. Even better if you have someone to snuggle with!

Go out for HOT CHOCOLATE! After a long walk in the wet wet rain go out for some delicious hot chocolate...or make it a home, watch a movie ...don't forget the marshmellows.

Take a long hot bath. After your lovely walk in the pouring rain, take a lovely long soak in the tub.

Well that a few suggestions. It's Victoria Day and it's raining, make the best of it.

Here's a link with a few more suggestions.

Go to the Beer Festival or Run Naked at Wreck Beach ;D

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Mead

Margaret Mead (December 16, 1901 – November 15, 1978) was an American cultural anthropologist, who was frequently a featured writer and speaker in the mass media throughout the 1960s and 1970s.^[1] She earned her bachelor degree at Barnard College in New York City, and her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia University.
She was both a popularizer of the insights of anthropology into modern American and Western culture and a respected, if controversial, academic anthropologist. Her reports about the attitudes towards sex in South Pacific and Southeast Asian traditional cultures amply informed the 1960s sexual revolution. Mead was a champion of broadened sexual mores within a context of traditional western religious life. Read More

I can't help but cry and get the shivers when I watch it and yet it makes me smile. AMAZING VIDEO!!


I have a lot of questions about life lately, about my future and my child's--my possible future grandchildren...

 I've experienced some really dark things in my life and sometimes things could be quite dark even now, but I "feel the angels and spirits of my loved ones" holding me up and by "thinking positive thoughts" I get through tough times. God's LOVE protects me.  Choosing love creates love. Focusing on love helps love grow. I am so GRATEFUL for this knowledge and all the lessons in life I have learned. And some were very hard lessons. I am GRATEFUL for this beautiful life and my child and I THANK God and the Universe and all things positive, good and beautiful that I am here to share life's experiences with my child. I am so GRATEFUL for all my gifts and for the greatest gift of all ---my life.

This video is so AWESOME as it totally puts things in perspective and helps one realize how GREAT our lives are and how truly BLESSED we are. Have WONDERFUL DAY!

Be Sure to send out lots of love to all the BEAUTIFUL  people you meet today!
