Yesterday in the Canadian Senate debates on Bill C-36, Liberal Senators Day, Cordy and Banks all had rousing arguments yesterday in defense of Canadians’ rights, and pointing out things wrong with C-36 and the overall legislative process that’s happened.
Senator Day is also continuing to make a very strong case for much more time to be made for this bill to be looked at in depth, rather than rushed through at the Government’s seeming request. It’s evident that he and many other Senators (mostly Liberal) are likewise not comfortable with its removing the judicial “Rule of Law” process in favour of granting Health Canada carte blanche. In addition, it was again mentioned how Shawn’s appearance has been unfairly blocked, and how they have not been listening to Canadians nearly enough. We are making a difference…!!!
Here’s a good snippet, starting with Senator Day’s closing comments:
Senator Day speaking:
…Honourable senators, my office has received almost 1,000 emails requesting that the Standing Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology take the time to hear from witnesses who are familiar with the proposed legislation and to consider carefully the powers being sought by the government and ensuring that they are necessary and desirable.
Mr. Shawn Buckley was recommended as a possible witness, but the senators on the government side have refused to hear from him, and I asked myself why. Mr. Buckley is a very reputable constitutional lawyer and is highly qualified, probably one of the most qualified on this proposed legislation of anyone in Canada. We heard from Mr. Buckley in the previous version of this bill when it was Bill C-6, and he was very informative and insightful. Naturally, when the bill was reintroduced, he was the person we immediately suggested should be brought in to discuss the changes, those changes that were not made, as well as to enlighten us on the strengths and weaknesses of this new legislation being proposed. Unfortunately, the Conservative senators unanimously voted down Senator Cordy’s motion to allow Mr. Buckley to appear before the committee.
Senator Mercer: Shame.
Senator Tardif: Shame.
Senator Day: Honourable senators, I made a second motion to extend the hearing times for one more session to allow additional outside witnesses to be heard. Sadly, this too was defeated unanimously by the Conservative majority on the committee.
Honourable senators, I received 10 written submissions regarding Bill C-36 from organizations whose submissions could have been very helpful to us. They were from the Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba, Canadian Consumer Specialty Products Association, Canadian Consumer Product Safety Coalition, Canadian Toy Association, Canadian Environmental Law Association, Health Action Network Society, Natural Health Products Protection Association, David Suzuki Foundation, Consumer Interest Alliance Inc. and Johnson & Johnson Inc.
Honourable senators, allow me just quote from the Health Action Network Society:
Our organization has been told that we are unable to make a presentation to your Committee on Bill C-36, and have been asked to write to you instead. There is something missing when you cannot meet face to face, unfortunately, but here are our points: . . . .
Honourable senators, that letter is typical of the letters we received concerning this proposed legislation. These people were cut off for some reason from coming, and many of them would have told us that this legislation was improved over the previous legislation but there were certain other portions that should have been made.
Honourable senators, this should illustrate to us that we have not done our job on this bill. It should also indicate that we have offended a large segment of society by rushing this process for no reason. There was absolutely no reason to rush this process because we all agreed —
Senator Mitchell: However, they might prorogue again.
Senator Day: — with the fundamental principle. The principle of the bill was universally agreed upon. It is difficult to understand why partisan politics should interfere with ensuring that the bill gets the attention it deserves, honourable senators.
Some Hon. Senators: Hear, hear!
Subsequently to this section, Senator Cordy spoke of her problem with the broad scope of power granted to “foreign entities” in the bill; and Senator Banks introduced an amendment to grant some actual privacy protection.
There is indication that with respect to these proceedings, the tide is turning in the favour of the Canadian people. We need to keep the pressure on, and continue spreading the word about this extremely dangerous legislation. Thank you for being part of this movement!

Turned to Stone was founded in the winter of 2011 by the brothers Andy and Brian Medeiros, Kristofori Maile, and Paul Black, longtime friends who shared a passion for metal music and the desire to craft and perform their collaborative and unique genre-defying brand of extreme metal.
After several years of sharing a love for music by metal acts ranging from Dream Theater, Apocalyptica, Nightwish and Dragonforce to more extreme artists such as Nile, Opeth, Eluveitie, Dark Tranquillity and Immortal, they began to collaborate on writing original songs in the vein of these acts with Andy carefully crafting soaring melodic leads on guitar and Kris providing song and harmonic structure on bass guitar. Brian solidified the rhythm section for their new project, which required all the essential talent and skill of a well-rounded percussionist at their pinnacle. Paul’s talents as a powerful and diverse vocalist as well as an evocative lyricist colored and completed their sound.
After finalizing the writing process for their melodic-death single “The Memory I’ve Become,” the ensuing Norwegian black-metal infused “Answer the Summons” and the manically induced doom ballad “This Failure,” they realized their collective potential and dedicated themselves to the formation of a full-time, professional and original metal group.
It was apparent that their music would not be complete without the support of a secondary guitarist. It was Ian Mitchell who found his way into the position after only one jam session, demonstrating to everyone not only professional musicianship, but the ability to contribute to the creative process as well.
Friends and show-goers gave overwhelming positive feedback following their first live performance with Salt Lake City locals Arsenic Addiction in the winter of 2012. The set list contained the aforementioned original songs as well as covers of the self-titled “Black Sabbath” and Agalloch’s “Falling Snow.” Shortly after the show Andy and Kris each brought a new song to the table with “Call for the End” and “Anachronous Throne” respectively.
The band entered the studio in the summer of 2013 with local engineer Matt Winegar (Primus, Chelsea Grin) and sent the recordings to Örebro, Sweden to be mastered by renowned metal engineer Jens Bogren (Dark Tranquillity, Amon Amarth, Opeth, Katatonia). Their debut EP, The Memory I’ve Become, was released on October 11th, 2013.

Now that I know how to make wonton wrappers, I’m on an unstoppable journey to make every recipe that could possibly use them. Tonight’s voyage? Egg rolls.
Pot stickers use a lot of the same ingredients as egg rolls–wonton wrappers, cabbage, ginger root, ground pork, soy sauce–so when I have one on the menu, I make sure and have the other close behind.
This recipe is modified from one at allrecipes.com
1 lb ground pork
1.5 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp 5-spice (optional)
1 qt Vegetable oil for frying (peanut oil if you’ve got it)
2 TBSP flour
2 TBSP water
3-4 cups Cole Slaw salad mix (Shredded cabbage and carrots)
2TBSP Soy Sauce
8 (7 inch square) egg roll wrappers
- Season pork with ginger, 5-spice and garlic powder and mix thoroughly. Heat mixture in a medium skillet, stirring, until pork is cooked through and no longer pink. Set aside.
- Marinate the carrots/cabbage in soy sauce. Set aside.
- In another large skillet heat oil to about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) or medium high heat. While oil is heating, combine flour and water in a bowl until they form a paste. In a separate bowl combine the cabbage, carrots and reserved pork mixture. Mix all together.
- Lay out one egg roll skin with a corner pointed toward you. Place about a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the cabbage, carrot and pork mixture on egg roll paper and fold corner up over the mixture. Fold left and right corners toward the center and continue to roll. Brush a bit of the flour paste on the final corner to help seal the egg roll.
- Place egg rolls into heated oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels or rack. Put on serving plate and top with sesame seeds if desired.

Noah Thompson’s parents are Chris Thompson and Elizabeth Thompson (née Miller). Chris and Elizabeth divorced sometime between 2005 and 2006, just over two years after Noah was born. Noah’s dad remarried around two years after the divorce. He married Amy, Noah’s stepmother. Noah’s mother, on the other hand, remained single until she died from a heart attack in 2018 at the age of 50 years old.
As a result of his parents’ divorce, Noah Thompson was raised by his grandmother, Karen Thompson. Despite all his achievements as the winner of American Idol 2022, Noah has done very little beyond crediting his parents for their tremendous influence on his journey as a musician. His words of adulation and appreciation have invariably led to interest in his parents. Here is what we know about Chris Thompson and Elizabeth Thompson née Miller, Noah’s parents.
Noah Thompson’s Father, Chris, is an Entrepreneur and Rock Musician
Noah Thompson’s father, Chris Thompson, is an entrepreneur in the construction industry, but he is also a rock musician. He was born in Blaine, Kentucky, United States, on November 27, 1972. As of 2023, he is 51 years old.
Chris is a member of the white Caucasian ethnic group, but very little information is available about his early life, even though recent events relating to his son Noah have revealed the fact that he grew up with a brother named James Thompson and that his mother’s name is Karen Thompson.
During a recent interview, Noah Thompson admitted that most of his passion for music came from watching his father perform when he was a young kid. In those days, his father was a member of a Southern Rock Band known as Everwheel. The succeeding years have not tempered Chris’ passion for music, as proven by the fact that he co-wrote and performed a song titled Lousy Town in 2016.
It is important to establish the fact that Chris did not make an appearance during his son Noah’s incredible run to glory at the 2022 American Idol. Many have speculated that it is an indication that father and son are not close, but Noah’s glowing comments about his father and his influence on his music journey seem to make nonsense of those speculations.
Noah Thompson’s Mother, Elizabeth Thompson, Died in 2018
While Noah’s father is still very much alive and well, the talented singer, unfortunately, lost his mother in 2018 after she succumbed to a heart attack. According to several sources, she was 50 years old at the time of her death, which is a clear indication that she was born sometime in 1968. It also means that she would have been around four years older than Noah’s father, Chris if she were alive.
However, other than the fact that her maiden name was Miller, as well as the fact that she was also born and raised in Kentucky, very little information is available about Elizabeth Thompson’s early life and family background. This includes any information about her parents or siblings and details of her formal educational background.
It is also unknown what she did for a living, but there have been indications that she was also very passionate about music and that she shared that passion with her son Noah despite the family dynamic that they had going.
Noah Thompson’s Parents Divorced Before His Third Birthday
Speaking of family dynamics, several sources have confirmed the reality of the fact that Noah’s parents divorced a few months before he celebrated his third birthday. Given that the singer was born in 2003, it would suggest that his parents ended their marriage sometime between 2005 and 2006.
Our research has unveiled the possibility that Noah’s parents met sometime during the late 1990s. However, specific details like exactly when, how, and where they met are as yet unknown. They likely dated for a few months before trying the knot. Again, specific information about the wedding, like the date and venue, remains undisclosed.
As specified earlier, the marriage between Chris Thompson and Elizabeth Thompson née Miller did not survive until the third birthday of their son Noah, who, by the way, is the only son they had during their short-lived marriage.
Noah’s Parents Have Both Moved On After The Divorce
Unsurprisingly, Noah Thompson’s parents both moved in with their lives after their divorce was finalized. In Chris’ case, he went on to marry a woman named Amy. She is also from Blaine, Kentucky, attended Lawrence County High School, and has a college degree from Prestonsburg Community College.
They reportedly met in 2005, around the time Chris was getting a divorce from Noah’s mother, Elizabeth. Their wedding took place in 2008, and in 2017, Amy took to her Facebook page to celebrate their 9th anniversary with glowing words about Noah’s dad. They have been married for over fifteen years now and have a son together.
On the flip side, Noah’s mother, Elizabeth, also remarried. Her husband’s name was Scott Ambrose. He was said to be a musical genius who was adept with a guitar.
The details of their marriage, such as when they got married and how long their marriage lasted, have remained unknown. What we can confirm is that the marriage was cut short when Scott died from a blood clot in his lungs.
Furthermore, at the time of her death, Elizabeth Thompson, Noah’s mom, was reportedly in a romantic relationship with a man named Tony. It is unclear when, where, and how the relationship started.
Noah Thompson Has Three Half-siblings
Nothing will change the fact that Noah Thompson is the only child his parents had during their brief marriage but it is also important to establish the fact that the singer has three half-siblings, all of whom are most likely younger.
He has a brother named Gibson Thompson, and Gibson is a product of his father’s marriage to Amy. Several sources have indicated that Gibson is around -1 years old as of 2023, indications that would suggest that he was born in 2009, just a year after Noah’s dad married his stepmom, Amy.
From his mother’s side, the singer has two half-siblings, a half-sister named Miller Dawson and another named Alexandria Kyle Ambrose. It has yet to be revealed how close Noah is to his siblings.
Why was Noah Thompson Raised By His Grandmother?
Following the divorce of Noah Thompson’s parents, he was raised by his grandmother, Karen Thompson, primarily due to how young he was at the time. Karen has always been supportive of Noah and played a crucial role in his upbringing. Despite the challenges they faced, Karen embraced the opportunity to raise him and considers it the best thing that ever happened to her.
Karen has spoken about her love for Noah’s singing and how his voice has always been soothing to her. She admitted that she wasn’t initially convinced he would win American Idol, but she was amazed by the support he received from the community. Throughout his journey on the show, Karen stood by him, providing unwavering support and encouragement.
The bond between Noah and his grandmother is undoubtedly strong. Although there are no explicit details about their closeness, it can be inferred from Karen’s words and her willingness to raise him. Her love for Noah’s singing and her presence at the show’s finale in California further highlight their closeness and the importance of their relationship.
Karen’s support was instrumental in Noah’s journey to becoming the winner of American Idol season 20. She believed in his talent and was there for him every step of the way, despite her initial doubts. The fact that Noah won the competition is a testament to the hard work, determination, and support he received from his grandmother and the community. Karen is immensely grateful for the experience and proud of Noah’s accomplishments.
In conclusion, Karen Thompson played a vital role in raising Noah Thompson and has been his biggest supporter throughout his journey on American Idol. Their bond is strong, as evidenced by Karen’s words and actions. Noah’s success is a reflection of their collective efforts and the love and support he received from his grandmother and the community.

Regardless if you are pregnant or not, listening to your body is a skill that takes conscious effort to cultivate and will reward you in many many ways.
During my 1:1 and group sessions I try to always remind people to listen to their bodies/hearts/instincts… and then I see it. The uncertainty in some people's eyes "how the fuck do I do that?" / "what does that even mean?"
I know these questions are in their minds because one day they were in my head too. Probably the first time I heard it was during a yoga class I was taking online. And slowly, the more the teacher asked, strangely, without any direction or instruction on HOW TO LISTEN TO MY BODY it started to make sense.
The thing is, I know that listening to our bodies can be a challenging experience. It is not an easy question to answer.
Especially when you add things like trauma, low self esteem, body dysmorphia, lack of physical practice, overstimulation, living on the edge of burnout constantly…. These don’t make the process of diving or learning how to dive into tunning in and listen any easier.
Let's just be clear I say listen to your body I mean in part, maybe as a first step, to develop something called body awareness.
Body awareness is as simple as how conscious and connected you are to your physical body.
This is usually the best place to start, physical awareness. Then we can move into awareness of our heart. The so called whispers of the heart and then move into connection with your instincts, true gut feeling. Those two may take longer to learn and feel confident. To be honest I’m still learning and will probably make a separate blog for each 😅
What are the benefits of body awareness/ listening to your body?
Benefits can be physical or mental. Benefits can affect your relationship with yourself and also indirectly how you relate to others.
Some specific benefits include:
Balance and stability
Healthier relationship with food and weight management
So what can you do to learn how to listen to your body / explore different ways to listen to your body?
Here are a few ideas...
Mentally scan your body looking for areas of tension. Tense them more and consciously relax them. Go to each area and repeat the process one by one.
Observe, feel the surface underneath you. Notice what you notice about it. Describe it mentally to yourself. Notice how your body responds to the surface. Any pain? Any discomfort? How is your body moulding itself against the surface?
Engaging in conscious breath patterns and techniques will allow you to notice the relationship between your body - breath - mind. Try diaphragmatic breathing or breathing techniques that activates your parasympathetic nervous system.
Focus each body centre:
According to energy healing theories, there are 3 gateways or centres in our body. These are our gut/womb, our mind and our heart space. When focusing on each centre we can do it using any mindfulness technique we feel comfortable with. For example sitting down, with our eyes closed in silence bringing our focus to the centre we want. It can also be during a walk, bringing our attention to the centre we are aiming to explore. You try what feels good to you. When you do it, you can just notice what notice, or even ask questions to this area like: what are you trying to tell me?
Deep core exercises:
Deep core exercises are a great way to reconnect with yourself. Not only gifting you physical benefits like strengthening the pelvic floor, aiding incontinence, supporting your sexual health but also supporting that mind-body connection. Always refer to someone trained o deep core or work pelvic floor recovery. Things like yoga, Pilates, high intensity training and breathwork can help but only if done correctly. If not done correctly you could end up hurting yourself.
Any movement practice:
Movement practices like yoga (asana), weightlifting, running, body weight mobility training, swimming, tai chi, hiking, etc... can help you learn about your own body. You don't have to be an athlete to experience the learnings that movement can give you.
Try journaling from the perspective of your body or a body part. Allow them to be radically honest to you, and allow yourself to be the vessel of that honesty.
Ecstatic dancing is pure medicine. Allows you to connect with your body allowing your subconscious mind to take over while letting your inner child be present. You will be surprised what you can learn from unrestricted body movement.
When doing my talks about mindful eating people tend to focus on how this can be the antidote to “overeating” but they forget it can also work for undereating habits too. Mindful eating is about dedicating your attention to the present moment when it comes to your eating habits. And this requires to learn how to question ourselves and our emotions. By “question ourselves” I don’t mean to doubt ourselves but to try to understand what’s happening behind our very valid feelings. Really good questions to ask yourself is what is this really about? How is this behaviour supporting my body and my mind in the long term?
Chanting / singing:
Some studies have shown how singing mental health. It can also promote a feeling of connection to yourself and others. To help you explore changing / singing as a way to listen to your body you can sing mantras, songs or just allow yourself to create vocal noises while playing an instrument or by yourself.
Getting a massage:
Getting a massage can help you become familiar with parts of your body you can’t access yourself as easily. Many won’t realise the amount of tension they hold in their body until they get a massage. Having someone perform a massage on us opens the possibility to learn how to monitor our own condition and maybe even learn how to adjust things accordingly.
Walking backwards invites you to connect with your body in a way you are not used to. By helping you relate to your movement in a new way by helping you engage your muscles differently than when walking normally.
Movement practices are a great way to learn about our physical body. Restorative yoga is a little bit different. It teaches us about our bodies in stillness and most of the time in silence / little sound distractions. It’s a great way to also start exploring your heart and instincts.
On social media you probably have read me raving about sound baths or maybe you have come to one of my intimate sound bath sessions. Sound baths or sound therapy can help us reduce anxiety, tension, and pain management. As the waves of sound pass through our bodies we experience unique sensations that allow us to get to know our bodies in a deeper level.
Changing to barefoot shoes:
Im not an expert in barefoot shoes or barefoot culture. I just enjoy it very very much because I’ve experienced the benefits of it. I guess sometimes you don’t need to understand how something works in order to feel the benefits. I’ve always been a little bit of a clumps haha! Since I started transitioning (I haven’t finished because I wear my wellies a lot during my walks and haven’t find a barefoot replacement yet) in 2021 I noticed how my feet were slowly gaining more sensations. I was able to notice the terrain and even if I slip I would know engage in order to prevent a fall. I put this theory to test when I visited Madeira with my husband and all I wore were my barefoot shoes + being barefoot around the airbnb we stayed at. After reading some blogs people mention other benefits too, including but now limited to: Prevent and Relieve Foot Pain. Ground Yourself and Connect to Nature. Improve Your Posture. Strengthen Your Feet and Legs. Give Your Toes More Wiggle Room. Stronger ankles. Better stability and balance.
Before and during my pregnancy I’ve been exploring all these practices, to help me manage life as it is and as it might become.
Body awareness / listening to our bodies is not the cure for all dis-ease but it can certainly be one of the best ways to prevent and anticipate bigger issues.
Regardless if you are pregnant or not, I encourage you to explore some of these practices and notice what you can notice from them.
Remember: Life will shake us, for the better and the worst. I believe that if we have enough tools to choose from, a conscious effort will help us navigate the waves the best way we can with the situation we have at the moment. One of those tools body awareness / listening to your body and now you have a few ideas on how to cultivate that tool.
My name is Carla, I’m a latina living in the UK. And for the last 8 years I’ve been in a journey. Of learning and unlearning.
After a positioning myself in Panama with a successful carrer in marketing but many unsuccessful and toxic romantic relationships I decided I needed to do something to break the pattern.
That led me to travel solo, add to my academic education, move countries, face shadows, find self-love again, finally find healthy romantic love, take a different leap with my career , start my own business, move to the countryside, own a garden, continue to train in different approaches to mental health and wellbeing, work with people all over the world and now grow my family.
Now I am a certified personal and professional performance coach (but I don’t like that title, is too long! So I call myself a life coach) I and trained as an Neurolinguistic Programming Practitioner, EFT / Tapping Practitioner and hypnotherapist. I have been a yoga student for the last 10 years and I have been teaching yoga (asana, pranayama and meditation) for the last 3-4 years. I teach breathwork, mindfulness and as a trained mental health aider one of my passion projects is to facilitate workshops to my local community and corporate clients. I also hold cacao ceremonies and sound baths. I offer reiki sessions and guided journaling experiences.
I believe in science and academic research and also believe in the intangible energies we and the world around us are made of.
And at the time of posting this blog I am happily 9 months pregnant.
If you are looking to:
gain confidence in your professional life
talk to someone about what's in your mind to help you organise your thoughts around a project / aspiration / plan
if you experience challenging feelings and would like to explore an alternative approach
if you want to explore some of the prsctices I mentioned in this blog (yoga, breathwork, ecstatic dancing, mindfulness...)
if you have limiting beliefs or fears you want to let go using hypnosis
if you want to change for the better the way you communicate to yourself
I can help you.
Join my waiting list to be one of the first people to get information on my next available dates or check the digital resources available at the shop.
Thank you for reading and I hope you have a lovely day!

Dermatology Consultants of Gloucester
General Dermatology & Medical Dermatology located in Gloucester, VA
The permanent red facial flush of rosacea can be a confidence killer. Beyond a healthy pink glow on the cheeks, rosacea usually creates a distressed look that’s uneven and blotchy. However, at Dermatology Consultants of Gloucester in Gloucester, Virginia, Dr. Timothy Gardner has several solutions to reduce the red and restore your complexion. Call the practice today to schedule a consultation to discuss rosacea treatment, or book online.
Rosacea Q & A
What is rosacea?
Most commonly affecting middle-aged women with fair skin, rosacea produces facial redness that blood vessels visible through the skin surface often accompany. Occasionally, red, pus-filled bumps may form. Rosacea can sometimes resemble acne, allergic reactions, or other skin disorders. It’s persistent, and may fade and then reoccur.
Men aren’t immune to rosacea. In fact, it’s common for rosacea to thicken the skin of a male rosacea patient’s nose, giving it an oversized, bulbous appearance. Around 50% of people with rosacea have associated eye problems, most often dryness and irritation, and occasionally swollen eyelids. In some cases, the eye problems may occur before skin changes are noted.
What causes rosacea?
Why some people are susceptible to rosacea isn’t known, but it’s thought that a combination of environmental and hereditary factors are to blame. There are known triggers that can aggravate the condition by increasing blood flow to the skin’s surface. These factors include:
- Alcohol use
- Medications that dilate blood vessels
- Exercise and exertion
- Spicy foods and hot beverages
- Temperature extremes and other weather conditions, such as wind and sunlight
While anyone can experience rosacea, it’s more likely in people over 30 and in smokers. Those with fair skin that’s experienced sun damage also face increased risk, and anyone with a family history is also more likely to develop the condition. While there’s no specific test to confirm rosacea, there are other conditions that may cause similar symptoms, so some testing may be done to rule these out.
How is rosacea treated?
Both oral and topical medications prove effective in reducing the symptoms of rosacea.
Brimonidine gel constricts blood vessels and shows results in as little as 12 hours. Its effects are temporary, however, so regular use is required. Azelaic acid and metronidazole produce similar results, but take three to six weeks.
Oral antibiotics fight the inflammation rosacea causes. Doxycycline is the most effective against the bumps of rosacea. Isotretinoin is a powerful anti-acne drug that may treat cases of rosacea that don’t respond to other treatments.
Additionally, laser treatments may bring improvement to some cases of rosacea. Dr. Gardner discusses this with you at your consultation if you’re a good candidate.
Get started on rosacea treatment today at Dermatology Consultants of Gloucester. Call to book an appointment or schedule online.

People are made of flesh, bones, hearts and souls. Our existence is both fragile and powerful. Unlike the rock, we can take some control over our change. We can decide what we want to change to and from. We can decide what we want to accept or not. We can decide what to put into our mouths. When to exercise. What to read. What to think. Who to like and who to ignore. We have the power to walk away from a bad situation, and the power to stay.
People have the power to alter another person by the things that are said and done, and we each have the power to choose how it affects us. The only thing we cannot control is time and the fact that every day we get older. But we are powerful, more powerful than the rock.
The thing about people, however, is that we seem to lack knowledge of ourselves. We all know someone with untapped potential. We all know that we ourselves feel that way. Unlike the rock, we are capable of feeling fear. Some philosophers refer to this as ego. As mere mortals, we are flawed, imperfect and fraught with the free will, such that we can create havoc or heaven for our self and others.
I like to think that most people aspire to be good people who act with the best intentions. I like to believe that we are all in this together. But sometimes things happen that can weaken us and test our resolve. That's when we demonstrate our the virtue of a rock.


MISSOULA - A respected Salish cultural leader is getting her due with a new honor from Missoula County.
Missoula County Commissioners and tribal leaders met Monday to dedicate the commissioners' public meeting room and name is the Sophie Moiese room.
From the release:
C???x??m?x??m?s?n?a´, Sophie Moiese, (1864-1960) was considered an expert in virtually every aspect of traditional tribal life, from song, dance and material culture to the Salish spiritual and material relationship with plants. Missoula County Commissioners will name their public hearing room the Sophie Moiese Room in her honor during the dedication ceremony, which starts at noon in Courthouse Annex Room 151.
The ceremony will feature a blessing by Tony Incashola, director of the Séliš-Ql?ispé Culture Committee, an honor song performed by tribal drum group Yamncut and a proclamation from the county commissioners.
"The Se'lis?-Ql?ispe Culture Committee expresses its appreciation to Missoula County for naming this hearing room in honor of one of the most respected and beloved cultural leaders of the Se´lis? people," Incashola said. "At a time when our state and our country are too often divided, this helps bring us together in mutual respect. We are grateful for Missoula County's recognition of the original inhabitants of this land, and of the need for all of us to come together in working for a better world for the generations to come."
According to a biography provided by the committee, Moiese taught countless young Salish people about the gathering, preparation, storage and use of the tribe's traditional food and medicines. For many years, she led the springtime bitterroot ceremony, when the Salish welcomed the return of the bitterroot flower, the first major food of the year in the old way of life. The Missoula Valley was perhaps the single most abundant bitterroot grounds throughout the tribe's vast aboriginal territories.
Moiese also passed on to the younger generations her extensive knowledge of tribal history. She often carried a buckskin string with knots in it, known as a memory string (?sispi? n?q?lq?elstn), which was the traditional way of ensuring the accurate transmission of oral history. She often recounted the painful story of the forced removal of the Salish from the Bitterroot Valley in 1891, when she was 27. She especially recalled the elder women weeping as soldiers pushed the people north to the Flathead Reservation.
"Missoula County is Indian Country," said Commissioner Dave Strohmaier. "In recognition of the fact that the seat of Missoula County government sits in the heart of Salish aboriginal territory, I'm delighted that we're renaming the commissioners' public hearing room in the courthouse after a respected tribal elder— Sophie Moiese. Renaming this room will serve as a lasting reminder of our friendship with the tribes and the land we share in common."

It’s been looking like this a lot lately so I’ve been looking for ways to stay cool which has involved many no cook or almost no cook meals. I’m really fortunate that Hubby is good with that. He’s also very good with the smoker and the grill which helps to keep the heat out of the house.
I use three different recipes for the most part, and I will be sharing all of those over the next few posts. Granola is something I always keep on hand because I can find so many different ways to use it other than just as a cereal.
1 cup chopped walnuts, almonds or pecans
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup wheat germ
2 Tablespoons flax seed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup water
2 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons molasses
1 Tablespoon canola oil
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
Recipe courtesy The Event Group.
|Allow to drain for at least 2 - 3 days.|
|Punch holes in the foil covering to allow liquid to drain.|
Stay cool and stay tuned for my favorite granola recipes from Canyon Ranch and Crescent Dragonwagon coming up soon.

Ahead of her new album, up-and-coming artist Geneviève Racette recently welcomed Dallas Green, better known as City and Colour or for his work in Alexisonfire, on her new song “Someone.” The song was released on January 14 and perfectly encompasses all that the artists bring to the table.
Québécois singer-songwriter Geneviève Racette has been growing for a little while now and was even awarded Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2020 Canadian Folk Music Awards. Her music exudes raw emotion and captivates you with its folk-pop sound.
Racette’s third full-length album, Satellite, is a nine-song body of work set to release on March 18. The album is said to “evoke moments of love, heartbreak, healing, forgiveness, and ultimately, falling in love again.” She will also be going on a 10-stop tour this year in the United States and Canada.
Find out more about the tour here.
Through the power of Instagram, Racette and Green’s friendship came to be. Upon posting a cover of one of his songs, Green reached out to her, complimenting her singing and songwriting abilities. She sent him a few demos and the collaboration was established on “Someone.” Racette said “I totally heard Dallas’s voice when I wrote it but I was too shy to ask him to sing on it. There’s something about the melody that reminds me of City and Colour.”
“Someone” is “a slow-burning study on desire, temptation, seduction, and fantasy; and the guilt and shame that comes with it.” Beginning with soft and whimsical guitar strums, the song seamlessly delivers on Racette’s angelic vocals. The two artists complement one another wonderfully, making for a truly pleasant listening experience. The ever-so-faint sound of drums in the background shape the song and make for a well-rounded piece of music.
On February 13, Racette will open for City and Colour in Montreal. The audience will be lucky to hear her and Green perform this song live and it is guaranteed to be a truly magical experience. Racette’s talent is vast and we anticipate her to have a long and successful career.
Stream “Someone” now.

The White House, “the (once) headquarters of the world,” is making statement after statement regarding Russia’s “invasion” plan in Ukraine. The United States spreads invasion rumors as if it wants Russia to invade Ukraine, which relied on the American administration for its security until recently. However, everyone knows that such dialogue only provokes Russia to take harsher steps, and it is not clear what the U.S. administration intends by such statements other than enjoying watching the swallowing of a relatively small country by a bigger one. In the end, the loser will be America as it may lose its superpower status and the trust of its allies.
In my academic article titled “The United States: Is it Still a Superpower?,” I had argued: “The U.S. power is in decline; it is still a superpower thanks to its allies, friends, economic tools, like the U.S. dollar, and even its adversaries. In other words, not Americans but other countries, including rivals, keep the U.S. as a superpower. They have done it voluntarily since the U.S. has the desire to act globally, and any loss in its power would cause more losses in other countries. However, particularly during the (former U.S. President Donald) Trump administration, the U.S. withdrew from the leadership of the like-minded countries, opening the way for China and Russia to be more active in world affairs.”
If I go over my argument in light of what is going on in Ukraine, I can say that the era I mentioned is about to end, though U.S. President Joe Biden replaced Trump. Remember that when Biden took power, he had proudly said “America is back.” Unlike Trump’s desire to isolate America from world politics and conflicts, Biden was quite assertive about maintaining the role of being the gendarmerie of the globe. Yet, America is still absent, and there is no evidence to show it will ever be back.
On the other hand, while America’s allies were voluntarily allowing Washington to lead them, they are now opting to visit the Kremlin instead of the White House. Such visits may be regarded as a loss of hope in the American leadership. This is not the case only for NATO members. U.S. friends in the Middle East, Far East and Central Asia already experienced shocks when, for example, the American administration resumed Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) talks and withdrew from Afghanistan.
Since the U.S. is reluctant to act firmly to protect its allies, Russia and China are eagerly replacing it in places it left behind. For sure, the more the U.S. stays silent, the more they will expand their influence. In this case, allies will either develop good relations with the new global powers or have problems with them, including fighting.
In fact, the U.S. leadership could still be influential as other countries already support Americans in world politics. Also, when the bloc is integrated, adversaries generally hesitate to act irresponsibly. Remember in past conflicts when the U.S. showed its teeth to Russia, the latter stepped back in order to refrain from confronting the former. However, Russia is almost sure that the U.S. will not do anything other than condemn Russian atrocities. What is more, U.S. officials make statements similar to those of news correspondents. Instead of opposing Russia’s aggression, they choose to make predictions about when Russia will attack Ukraine.
Meanwhile, what if China surrounds Taiwan with its army or invades the island? Obviously, the U.S. won’t be able to handle two invasions simultaneously and that will probably be the end of the U.S.' superpower status. Therefore, it can be concluded that an immobile and silent America in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict means the end of the U.S. era, the dissolution of the Western bloc and the emergence of a multipolar world.
Is the U.S. ready for the defeat? Probably not, but it seems Washington is unaware of the danger it faces. Whether the world is ready for a new order is not clear but since new powers have nothing to give the world in terms of soft power, it can be concluded that trouble is in the near future for all countries unless quick actions are taken.

Hey everyone! I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend. The weather here has been so gorgeous. Summer is definitely here. It’s so nice to see the beaches getting some good use and people enjoying their time outside. I’m excited because I have a great project under way. I have been working on a client’s backyard. I will post the progress soon. In the meantime, so many summer DIYs have been inspiring me and I would love to share some with you. Today, I thought I would talk about wood palettes. As you know, I love reusing what we already have and giving something new life. Why not use what is available instead of purchasing everything new.
This is what a wood palette looks like:
Do you like how I have an image of it in the snow?
Well here are some really creative ways to use this wood palette and design something completely new:
A side bench. Just add some white paint and either make or buy a cushion and viola, you’ve got some sweet extra seating.
A modern looking coffee table. Choosing a high-gloss bright paint will modernize anything plus adding some casters will give it an industrial look.
Rusting wall shelving for picture frames. Love this look especially with the clustered photos. Makes it a bit more casual and homey.
Outdoor dining table. Perfect for the summer time!
A child’s bend and I love how they created a frame so the kid is tucked in nicely. Another great use of the casters so you can easily move the bed around and give it a little more height.
I am pretty obsessed with this bookcase. It’s so smile but the old wood makes it look nicely worn.
Rustic coffee table and can’t complain about the reading material😉
I have so many friends getting married this summer and some of them are on tight budgets. I love this DIY idea for a wedding platform.
Another simple bed frame.
A sweet vertical planter. They are all the rage these days.
I’m pretty excited about this makeshift sofa. Again, casters seem to do the trick with most of these handmade pieces and I’m loving the old door as a backing.
Another beautiful bench. All you need are some legs. These look like simple decorative fence posts that you could easily get at a Home Depot or even a salvage place. Just make sure to match the stain and it ends up looking like it all came from the wood. The palette gives the bench of storage too.
And finally another rustic table but this one has built in planter boxes.
The truth is, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. People are so creative and these are only a few ideas I found online. There are a million more awesome ideas. Create one custom for you and your needs and share it!

They are augmented reality (AR) overlays digital information in the real world through mobile devices and wearable hardware. While AR is often associated with games and filters, it also has powerful potential as a navigation and wayfinding technology physical and virtual spaces.
Enhanced maps and directions
One of the most straightforward uses of AR is enhancing mapping apps with overlayed directions, points of interest, and contextual cues. Apps like Google Maps already do this to some extent but imagine looking through your phone and seeing floating arrows pointing you exactly where to turn. Useful information like business names, opening hours, and reviews could also appear overlaid right onto the streetscape. Spatial computing gives traditional maps a direct real-world connection.
Immersive streetscape layering
Beyond just directions, AR layers all kinds of interactive information into the physical world. City streets and buildings come alive with historical insights, architectural details, photography, and video overlays. Walking through a city, you could learn about city planning, access Wikipedia-style entries on landmarks, and see how spaces looked in the past. For example, public spaces could have guided audio tours with narration automatically triggered by movement through marked zones. Parks could have themed educational pathways for kids. Businesses layer interactive product demos and promotions. Adventurers could embark on choose-your-own-adventure trails.
Accessible navigation and mapping
For the visually impaired, AR navigation assistance has already begun replacing safer and more empowering handheld guidance. Other accessibility applications include visual impairments that magnify or annotate hard-to-see street obstacles and signs. AR also provides real-time translating subtitles for the hearing impaired. The same multiplayer mechanisms would allow rally races and augmented geocaching adventures. The physical world becomes an arena for social play.
Immersive transit and ridesharing
Getting around also is transformed by AR in vehicles. Imagine rideshare cars with AR freelancers dashboards displaying optimal routes and points of interest along the way. Public transit could layer digital wayfinding, games, and language lessons onto bus windows. Providing passengers with individualized AR experiences makes transit more engaging and efficient.
Seamless indoor/outdoor navigation
GPS struggles indoors, but AR’s spatial sensing bridges outdoor and indoor spaces into one navigable canvas. Shopping malls and airports are instantly navigable by overlaying marker-based directions, store locators, and interactive maps. Combining wide-area GPS and close-range spatial data is the key to continuous wayfinding.
Virtual landmarks and street signage
Ubiquitous invisible digital landmarks and street signs are viewable through AR may gradually replace cluttered physical signage. Retail stores have virtual welcome signs only visible once within a geofence. Hazard warnings and parking instructions are virtually displayed with precision only when relevant. Physical signs are reduced by relying more on timely AR cues.
Gamified advergaming and navigating
Gamification drives user participation and navigation activities like scavenger hunts, geocaching, and interactive city tours could all be spun into AR games. Brand sponsorships and advertising offset development costs while making navigation more exciting. For example, competitions for bonus virtual rewards during sponsored challenges. Navigation becomes play. The potential of AR navigation is only beginning to be tapped, but it’s clear that overlaying context, social sharing, games, and accessibility features reinvent how we traverse and comprehend the spaces around us. Moving forward, AR wayfinding will increasingly drive us out into the world rather than distract us from it.
