Mothers Day

Art of Feminine Presence™

The Teachers of Calgary Core have taught the Art of Feminine Presence™ classes in Calgary over the past 2 years, empowering spiritual women of all ages and walks of life to be seen and heard and feel confident in every aspect of their lives.

What better way to spend Mother's Day than with my daughter, Lynne, and a  group of warm women of all ages!

At a recent Art of Feminine Presence workshop held in Calgary, these women graced the event, giving their friendship and energy to each other. We learned to feel feminine and be proud of it wherever we are. When the workshop was finished a great shift of energy was felt, which enlightened us.

Lynne was one of five facilitators. She is a Core Alignment Specialist, and a Registered Massage/ Cranio-sacral Therapist. She is passionate about creating functionality, flow, and freedom; caring for our space both inside and out. She co-owns and operates Britannia Bodywork Wellness Centre. She has been part of the alternative health industry, helping people work with chronic pain and injury since 1993. Sh is part of an international community of women, steadfast to their own personal growth; that desire to continue to make a difference; in their lives, in their families and in their communities; to make their mission,passion and pleasure to priority

Spring Time In Osoyoos

Randal and my six months stay has ended at NK'Mip RV Park, Osoyoos BC. We are sorry to be leaving.  Nature has brought shades of pinks, yellow, and green all around us.

Hanukah/ Christmas Celebration

Randal and I decorated our livingroom for the holiday season

Our first holiday celebration in Osoyoos took place on the 7th night of lighting of the Hanukah candles. Randal and I invited two couples in for refreshments and an explanation of Hanukah. They are from Saskatchewan and like us are first timers at NK'MIP RV Resort. They had not heard of Hanukah so found it very interesting. The six of us spent an evening of good conversation and laughs.

The Snow Birds of NK'Mip Resort compose a photo album to help identify each other. Randal shaved so he could look his best. They held two turkey suppers two weeks apart. Although we did not take part in the festive meals, we were told they fed 130 people. Now they are gearing up for a New Years Eve Party. I wonder how many will be up to see 2015 in!!

After Christmas we drove north in the snow to Kelowna to be with Kerry Hilderman's family.Our host were Terri and Trevor Budworth.
