Our lives interlace the past with the present and at any given moment collide at the right angle, to impact our future ~ TL Alton  Where I am working at Moberly Lake Provincial Park, almost a half hour away, is the town of Chetwynd, B.C.  Moberly Lake Provincial Park This small community was not on my map prior to me coming to work up North. A month later, my footsteps have been left in the dirt, as I make my trips for groceries, laundry and the local library.  While in the outdoors, I collect the litter dispersed all over.

Let’s open the door to your soul-house and get to work on the most beautiful restoration project you could ever imagine ~ Melody Brave Living  Most of us have dealt with some kind of monolith in our lives. Whether a massive fragment that proves to be a stumbling block or as a monumental presence to declare I have overcome; these stones serve as reminders that we exist.  Last weekend, as I sat in Bethel Church in Penticton, my highly charged emotions were being quelled by an unseen presence. As a result, I was able to intake each personalized message of those who came to remember, honour and pay respects to a young man… whose life ended at 22 years in a car crash.  As those gathered, it soon became apparent how deeply loved Eythan was. Between the funeral service and Celebration of Life, an estimated 750 people attended. Sitting in my seat, my hands folded in prayer, I was able to keep myself together. That was until two songs directly connected to ...
