Wow, this is a great idea, and there should be more films and talk about bullying in the workplace. Let's help Vancouver-based actor and filmmaker Denise Ryan make this film.

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..
http://www.toycompany.ca/buy/21102lg/21102-minecraft
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/
Now if we can just win some free airline tickets!! or a trip to Disneyland! :D

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.

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).

Bless the White Wizard as his Journey continues! R.I.P. Isaac Kawapit

This made me so sad. I didn't hear about it until now. This video really brings it home. It's so sad that this amazing man accomplished so much by leading those kids on a massive journey and now he's gone. I really feel so deeply for the kids, they must be devastated.
It makes me so angry when I think back about how Harper wasn't even there to greet Isaac and those kids. It should have been such an amazing moment for the nation,...but it was overshadowed by Harper's panda bear photo shoot. http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.ca/2013/03/nishiyuu-quest-for-unity-but-harper.html
Still they didn't need his approval or for him to even be there as they really did accomplish so much. R.I. P. Isaac Kawapit. God bless you on your journey.
Read more about Isaac here http://media.knet.ca/node/22530
But at the age of 46 (though he was also said to be 47 or 49), Mr. Kawapit did something remarkable. In January, he led a group of six young men, aged 17 to 22, on a frigid 1,500-kilometre walk from Whapmagoostui to Ottawa to raise awareness of the problems facing Canada's First Nations.
By the time they reached the capital, there were 300 walkers and thousands of supporters waiting to greet them and the Journey of the Nishiyuu had become a galvanizing event for young native people across the country.
Mr. Kawapit, the man the walkers called their spiritual leader and their "White Wizard," was found dead in his northern community on Saturday morning. His body was lying outdoors just a short distance from where his mother's house once stood.

Nishiyuu's 'White Wizard' walked 1,500 km for First Nations issues
"Isaac Kawapit was a humble man who led a hard life in a remote Cree community near the shores of Hudson Bay in Northern Quebec, living largely off the land and relying on his extraordinary skills as a hunter.But at the age of 46 (though he was also said to be 47 or 49), Mr. Kawapit did something remarkable. In January, he led a group of six young men, aged 17 to 22, on a frigid 1,500-kilometre walk from Whapmagoostui to Ottawa to raise awareness of the problems facing Canada's First Nations.

The endangered Southern Resident
Killer Whales searched for salmon next to sunny San Juan Island on July
10, 2013. Listen to their powerful blows while you watch these wild
killer whales swim close together in their tightly bonded family groups!
The exuberant cartwheels and breaches by these orcas were filmed next
to Vashon Island on December 3, 2012.
These wild killer whales are free to roam where they please, unlike the ones in marine circuses like SeaWorld, and they never leave their mothers. They remain in closely bonded matrilineal family groups for their entire lives, which can last (in the wild) over 100 years for females and over 60 years for males. They swim up to 100 miles per day.
These orcas are endangered because SeaWorld got its start decades ago by capturing and selling one-third of them—specifically targeting the babies, taking an entire generation, and killing many of their mothers, who were trying desperately to protect them. (All but one of those young captured orcas died in SeaWorld's barren concrete tanks within a few years. The sole survivor is Lolita at the Miami Seaquarium, imprisoned alone for 43 years in a tiny bathtub-sized tank.) The population of the Southern Resident Killer Whales has never recovered to its precapture numbers, and these beloved killer whales of Puget Sound remain endangered.
Please visit my beautiful photography website http://www.wildnwbeauty.com and my Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/WildNWBeauty for incredible high-resolution photographs of killer whales and other wildlife, as well as the majestic wild scenery of the Pacific Northwest.
The entrancing music in this video is "Losing Love" by Dexter Britain: http://dexterbritain.co.uk.
Thanks to the Salish Sea Association of Marine Naturalists for helping me compile many marine biologists' recommendations for how we can help these endangered killer whales survive!

We had the greatest time today at Bard on the Beach. I must admit we are truly blessed and that my sister and her husband treated us to the play as a gift for Angel's birthday.
I was a little nervous, seeing how it's Angel's first Shakespearean play and thought perhaps she might get bored. Completely opposite, at intermission she kept commenting on how funny it was. And it was!!
I'm not going to spoil it in case you get to go, but you should try, it really was special. Lots of laughs and surprises too!
It made me really emotional, we were commenting after about it, mentioning that it must be because it's live. They were really good actors too, obviously!
My favourite actor was Todd Thomson, he's really yummy....er.. excuse me...I mean very handsome!! :DD They are all terrific!
Well I hope you get to seen it. Here's some links for you.
They have class to teach acting to kids too!! Maybe next year Angel can go! That would be really fun!

Since the verdict was announced on the Trayvon Martin/ George Zimmerman trial http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Trayvon_Martin I haven't said much.
I wanted to let my emotions calm and try to step back and not make the situation worse by adding to the pain, frustration, anger and anxiety that so many people were expressing.
This song has been running thru my head...and I just want to send it out to all of you...it's for everyone that hurting... "To make you feel my love"
When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no - one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong
I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue and
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
You Know there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change
Are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet
I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love, To make you feel my love
But now we need to address this whole issue, and thankfully there are people working on it. This film Fruitvale Station is working on it, but we need a lot more. Please read this article, it's very well written.
http://www.missrepresentation.org/masculinity/stand-your-ground-be-a-man/
and finally this video it's on Kickstarter, this project needs to be made. Please share and help so that we can have better future for our boys, our men and for a daughters...I worry,.. I worry for my daughter, what kind of boys will she meet...what kind of men will she meet. Already we have seen disturbing things in school and with the media and culture as it is, it will not improve unless we all work together to change it.
Let's hear it for the boys...Let's raise boys that we can be proud of. It takes a village...make sure you tell the boys and men in your life you love them and help them be strong empathic, loving men, give the direction the best you can, we all need to do this the best we can.
Please watch these two powerful videos, everything makes so much sense ...we have to keep focusing on the positive..meditate ..be the lightworkers...we have to chose LOVE NOT FEAR!! Make that your mantra!

"Walk into the mural-covered 14,000-square-foot space in San Francisco’s Central Market district and you’ll see a flurry of seemingly organized activity: people manning desks in the front, a day-by-day schedule scribbled in chalk on the wall, someone sweeping the floor, a family examining the makings of a slide...."

What We’ve Achieved
[ San Francisco, California ]
In order to demonstrate how communication,
collaboration and innovation flourish when people have a space to come
together, we obtained a lease for a 14,000 sq ft building for $1 for the
month of June in the heart of San Francisco’s dynamic SOMA district.
In just one week the building was transformed. Artists
removed traces of urban decay by covering the walls with murals and the
parking lot has been converted into a garden and food forest, attracting
the admiration of passers-by. Read more
I especially love the perks they offered
Their perks were super ingenious. I tried Indiegogo alone..not the easiest but one of the toughest things was coming up with really great perks. I just love these!
Your mark in [freespace]
[freespace] farewell festival
Print your own t-shirt
[freespace] t-shirt delivered
The [freespace] Poster
First Dibs Red Tag Sale
Headshot Photoshoot
Park Cycle Party
Host an Event in the Art Lot
Be in our documentary
The whole shebang
I am so glad they achieved their goal and more, they wanted $25,000 and recieved $26,061. Really fantastic.
What a great story!!
Please read and watch the videos and follow up on this, because if they can accomplish this there, it can be done anywhere....because I know there are super amazing talented generous people everywhere and this is the kind of encouragement our kids and communities need to show them we can make this world a better place..

So I was on Facebook this morning and on Global they posted this question yesterday but the conversation was still going?
Please watch and think very carefully as he talks about the "collective negativity" and "collective consciousness". There has been so much frustration and anger over the Tar Sands and the Pipeline.
Did this collective negative energy cause the flooding? Listen to what Deepak Chopra says here, it really made me think.
Here's the second one.

Now I don't want to focus on that, as that was that conversation but I did post a couple of videos that I asked people to watch. And there is something VERY interesting that came to mind when I re-watched this video. Starting at 7:10 in the video.
