I don't think I have ever been prouder to be a UBC alumnus

Way to go, guys. This is AMAZING! And, it's a fundraiser for Make A Wish Foundation.

Made me cry.

Honk if you love Japan

In this sad time, it sure is nice to smile and be impressed by some resourceful souls. Please consider doing something to help out yourself.

Illusion, a short film

Got a minute? Another member of my My Crazy Sexy Cancer breast cancer group posted this powerful film she and her partner made about breast cancer and early detection. I would love it if you could watch and pass it along to women you know, especially young ones.  Too often the message is directed at older women - but none of us are immune.

It is called Illusion. The film makers are Nikki Mackey and Connie Finn. And here's a link to Nikki's website, Cats not Cancer.

Hope

The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. 

~ Barbara Kingsolver, US novelist

Kindness

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.

~ The Dalai Lama
