Osoyoos Women's Network

Over the past 8 months a group of dedicated women in Osoyoos have been forming this new organization. We are pleased with the effect it has with the ladies who show up at the monthly events.


I had the privilege to hold an Evening Mixer on July 17 at my home, Wellness On Wheels, in NK'Mip Resort.

The presentation was "Living Your Life In Balance with a purpose"  and with the importance of  "Summer-time Hydration, Why Our Body Needs Water". This all fits into the Nikken, Active Wellness Company' mission and products.  


In spite of the very warm evening with temperatures at 40C is was a well received evening. 

Bite and Bites on Main Street, Osoyoos cater the food.

Humans Being More® Training

I attended a  Humans Being More® Training In Kelowna BC June 9th and 10th. This two day training helped me to understand myself — to define my needs and values — and showed me how to achieve precisely those goals that are important to me. This was my forth HBM Training. and every time I attend I experience more insight to my purpose.


Jeff Isom,Vice President of Sales and Training for Nikken was the facilitator.   

Daids

We formed into groups of six and chose a partner. Having Randal as a partner straightened our relationship. There were group participation, one on one daids, drawing and making a vision board.


I highly recommend for everyone to attend HBM Training!!

Sunday At Linden Gardens



It was over cast with a light breeze all day. Randal and I went to the Osoyoos Photo Club Photo shoot in Linden Gardens in Kaleden a 45 minute drive north of Osoyoos and 8 km south of Penticton.



Linden Gardens is home to 9 acres of lush perennial gardens, pathways and ponds.  Born out of a family fruit farm, the gardens were planted in 2000 with influences from English country and coastal public gardens. With winding pathways and multiple streams and ponds, Linden Gardens offer the casual stroller or the experienced gardener something to ponder. From early spring when thousands of bulbs begin the season to the last rose of October their garden will show with a steady flow of flowers. In between spring and fall on will see a myriad of lilies, rudbeckia, grasses, poppies, lily’s and lupines.. It goes on forever.










The ever-changing landscape at Linden Gardens is the result of impeccable vision of husband and wife team Ken and Margaret Hater. An awe-inspiring adventure for the whole family, the Linden Gardens truly is the garden that love built.








We were there for a couple of hours. Even I took some pictures with my cell phone. Learning fast. At noon the group met at the Frog City Café for lunch.

Air View Of South Okanagan

Every Year Snow Birds from across Canada come to spend their winter in Osoyoos BC. In March a breakfasts is held for each different province. They are filled to capacity with 200 participants. Door prizes are given out and there is a 50/50 draw. It is great to meet people from your home province.

At the Manitoba Breakfast one of the door prizes was a  plane ride over the Okanagan Valley by Ken  Pierce from Minolta, MB in his 1979 Cessna.


Thanks to Vickie McAllister, the winner, who asked Valerie McRae and I to be her guests on the 45 minute flight. It was a good day as it was sunny with only a few clouds.

Valentine Day

While I was away for four days in Calgary  Going To Calgary  Randal was beside himself. During our nightly phone calls he reported that he made the bed, washed the dishes and made good meals for himself. He had to report all his activities during his alone days!


When I returned he was the only holding a Happy Valentine Days balloon and a red rose.one waiting in the Penticton Airport  I am sure that the others who were also waiting thought that he was meeting a younger lady instead of more senior one!

Access Consciousness Class

Over the past weekend I attended an Access Consciousness  Foundation Class. It  was  facilitated by Fay Thompson 

Lorraine, Kellie, Fay, Lynne and Norma 
It was small but vibrant group who spent four days together. We discussed the benefits of energy-flow through the many topics, preformed exercises, share experiences and laughed.
