I have created a unique space for friends old and new who share a common goal: making the world a better place through kindness, creativity, and digital nerdiness. I want to help you walk away from negativity and embrace a brighter, happier future.
Laughter is the best medicine, and I'm here to provide a healthy dose of it. My community is full of light hearted, fun-loving individuals who appreciate the value of a good laugh. I also believe in the power of kindness to change lives! My community promotes a safe space to share uplifting stories, engage in meaningful conversations, and learn how to cultivate a more compassionate and empathetic mindset.
Join me in my mission to create a happier, more positive world. You can take part in the various activities and charity events that promote kindness, foster happiness, and bring people together. I think that life should be fun! I try to offer a range of entertaining activities to keep you engaged and amused.
Meet Beerus and Logan, my furry companions! Logan, a sweet DMH, came to me as a tiny abandoned kitten about nine years ago in Ontario. Beerus, a fluffy Ragamuffin, joined the family a few years back. We found him and his brother at the SPCA in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. His brother, Neji, went to live with my friend Roby's parents.
My final half-day in Dunedin was a bittersweet one. I'd initially thought I had an early departure, but the rental car company kindly allowed me to keep my car for a few extra hours, saving me a long wait at the airport.
My final full day in Dunedin began with the familiar morning routine, followed by a ride into town to pick up my rental car. With wheels in hand, I headed to "ICONIC" for lunch. I indulged in delicious gluten-free ground lamb nachos and a bowl latte. The staff was surprised I ordered this, but I explained it was a typical large back in North America.
I'd decided on a yellow-eyed penguin, hoping to incorporate a kiwi design within its belly, a symbol of New Zealand. I was scheduled to meet Crazy Horse at noon, but a late start to my morning meant I arrived about 30 minutes late. Thankfully, it was met with good-natured ribbing.
A fried egg sandwich, a quick news update, and a visit to the ducks and chickens. They were starting to recognize my footsteps, which was a heartwarming experience, reminiscent of feeding my pigeons and crows back home.
Despite a rough night thanks to my goat milk adventure, I woke up determined to make the most of day three. Another delicious breakfast sandwich fueled me up, and my rented e-bike arrived, ready for adventure. I cautiously navigated the steep hill down to Dunedin, keeping my speed below 30 km/h – the incline was just too intimidating!
Waking up at 4:30 AM wasn't a surprise after my long journey, so I decided to explore the local TV offerings. To my astonishment, the channels were filled with infomercials, a nostalgic throwback to North American television in the 80s. It was actually quite refreshing! I did manage to find Al Jazeera news, which felt necessary since I'd left my tech at home and wanted to stay somewhat informed.
There's no other way to put it. I've traveled, but never have I felt such an immediate and profound connection to a place. The kindness of the people, their respect for the land and sea, and a genuine sense of community resonated deeply with me. I cried every day, not from sadness, but from pure, overwhelming happiness.
Every Saturday morning i participate in a beginner's belly dancing class at a local studio here in Halifax. This is something I have been interested in for a long while, and I finally took it up in late 2023! If you're local to Halifax and want to check it out, you can learn more at my instructor Jill's website!
