❓❓ Did you know ❓❓ There is something blue that is good for you! Ya, it's low in calories, yet high in nutrients. It lowers blood pressure and also helps prevent heart disease. Oh, and I almost forgot 😜... one of the best benefits of it helps to maintain brain function and improves memory. What the heck is it? Actually, what are 'they'? There's a bunch of blue things that are good for you! Click here to find out what it is/they are. (I'm going to increase my intake of it, thanks to learning about #9 on the list) * * * Give the world the best of you, instead of what's left of you. * * * And speaking of world, this is so good; it's out of this world actually. I just had to share this. A classic, timeless, and enduring message - from some amazing kids. The entire video (5:18min) is a worthy watch (get the kleenex and turn up your volume). What really got me is what these talented kids broke into at the 3:47 mark. Bravo to the teachers for reminding us not only are we the world, but the children really are the future. Let's start giving. |

The Deerdra colouring pages project is coming along nicely! The inspiration is over-flowing. Still in FOMO mode? The opportunity to "Let's get colouring" was announced in my April newsletter. |

Good Karma~ Note to Self ~ "What is my purpose in life?" I asked the void. "What if I told you that you fulfilled it when you took an extra hour to talk to that kid about his life?" said the voice. "Or when you paid for that young couple in the restaurant? Or when you saved that dog in traffic? Or when you tied your father's shoes for him?" "Your problem is that you equate your purpose with goal-based achievement. The Universe isn't interested in your achievements ... just your heart. When you choose to act outut of kindness, compassion and love, you are already aligned with your true purpose. No need to look any further!" Source: powerofpositivity |

Family Matters Ode to Dad Written and dedicated to My Dad and my husband. Dad is a leader. Confident. Courageous. Determined and kind. Few of his equal, on this earth you'll find. |
|

Dad is a teacher. Responsible. Reliable. A role model too. Hours of entertainment, he gives our family crew. Dad is a husband. Stability. Security. Intellect galore. The trust he instills, who could ask for more? Dad is a mentor. Authority. Admirable. Encouraging words. With love’n patience he shows, never forgetting: Father’s a verb. Dad is a buddy. Steadfast. Special. Honorable it’s true. Who else holds it together? For our family, he’s the glue. Dad is a hero. Preserver. Protector. Incredible force. Unwavering loyalty, helps us stay the course. Dad's a creator. He raised me to be. The strong and kind woman that you see. The man I'm still married, gave me daughter and son. Our memories through parenthood, well, we've won. So, Dad as your daughter, and, Doug as your wife, You're men I look up to ... it's a happy life. * * * And to my son, Mike, who I literally look up to! When I look at him, I am reminded how amazing it is that I produced something so good in this world. He makes me so proud of all he has achieved ... and will achieve. How lucky I am to be his Mom. |

| | Doing Good at leaders2inspire We've really put our heads (and hearts) together! Clarity of our goals and vision has really fueled our progress in the last several months. In fact, we've created a new category all together. It's called: "Corporate Social Transformation" Our coined term "projects4purpose" has always been a key component of our Retreat agenda; a real differentiator for the Retreat experience, and one very near and dear to my heart. I couldn't be more proud to share that projects4purpose is expanding to a whole new level, and encompasses a secret ingredient that is part of something really BIG. Get on our notification list. You won't want to miss out on any more secrets. 😉 Not to mention, there is valuable content provided about building corporate cultures of purpose and high performance. In the meantime, I am bursting with excitement to get instigating and facilitating company teams to get back together. The plan is for a Retreat in beautiful British Columbia in the Fall. (like in 3 months from now) 💥 🎯 🌄 🌞💙🌭 Oh Canada! Watch this space! We're on a mission to rally organizations with company-wide purposeful initiatives that connects their entire company.💥 That's Corporate Social Transformation! 💥 Get our White Paper on Corporate Social Transformation - A Better Way Of Operating to learn more. | | |

- All eligible families enrolled in the Feeding the Hungry Program have enough food vouchers to last until October.
