HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSE!!!!!
This little video was a commercial for Orange, one of the world’s leading telecommunications operators. It is really simple and so is the message but the truth it holds is quite profound I think.
Allow this thought to roll around in your mind for a bit and see what I mean. “I [...]

Svaha Spirit Series ~ The Story of Cosmetics
July 25th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Bonnie's Posts, Svaha Spirit Series~Sunday
I’m just going to say it – I have issues with my hormones right now. I’m dealing with it. I’m determined to normalize my hormones naturally; without the use of synthetic drugs. I’m at the beginning of my treatment so I’ll have to let you know how it goes. Through all of this, however, I [...]

they are elegant and spirit-lifting.”

Greed’ll getcha!
May 21st, 2010 · 4 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
A sleep-deprived office worker accidentally discovers a black hole – and then greed gets the better of him.
The lesson here is stick to stealing chocolate bars I think. I mean, he could have gone back in for a soda to wash it down and been perfectly happy, but noooo….
Silly man!
This Too Shall Pass ~ OK Go
April 17th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
It’s one of Tracy’s favourite sayings, “this too shall pass” and a very wise one I think. I find myself quoting it to my son quite a bit when he is going through a trying time and I can’t think of anything else to say he asks for my opinion. This video does not [...]
The Story of Bottled Water
March 27th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
Yes, I know I’ve harped on this one before, but I just bought a plastic bottle of water at the gym recently and I need a way to purge myself of the guilt. I do normally use a stainless steel bottle filled with water from home but my husband was using it and…blah blah blah. [...]

Do you have a secret?
January 30th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I think we all have secrets; some we are aware of and keep closely hidden and others that are so subtle we don’t even realize we have them.
I have been a fan of Frank Warren’s postsecrets for some time now. I have two of his books of collected post cards on my shelves. These post [...]
Svaha Spirit Series ~ Inspired Bicycles
January 17th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Bonnie's Posts, Svaha Spirit Series~Sunday
This video at once makes my butt pucker and has me ooing and awing. I’m struck at how amazing humans are when they push themselves to do things others would see as impossible.
Filmed over the period of a few months in and around Edinburgh by Dave Sowerby, this video of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny [...]

The Bottled Water Fairytale
November 28th, 2009 · 8 Comments · Bonnie's Posts, Health and fitness
My husband grumbles about how wrong it is to have to pay for water. “Water belongs to every creature on our planet, it shouldn’t be a commodity that people profit from, and it’s all just bottled tap water anyway” – is his usual spiel. “No it isn’t! It comes from the glacier fed pristine mountain-top [...]

500 Years of Female Portraits
November 17th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
The year my son graduated from high school I put together a video for him of clips from his school years, beginning with kindergarten and set to music. I began the video by using each years school picture he had and overlapping and blending them from one year to the next. I kept [...]

I Gotta Feeling!

This song by the Black Eyed Peas has been a big hit this past summer. It’s special to me too because Tracy and I heard it for the first time during her stay with me here in Vernon in July. The two of us would “seat dance” to it if we heard it on the [...]
