"Everyone has a water."⁠
⁠
I heard this once on a podcast or radio show and couldn't agree more. In fact, I know I've shared this quote at another time, I just can't remember where or with who so I'm sharing it again!⁠
⁠
My water is hands down fresh water lakes. I grew up going to our family camp just north of the Soo (#campnotcottage) on the shores of Lake Superior. I'll take a refreshing lake over a salty ocean any day, but a view or the sound of water anywhere makes me smile, calms me down, and energizes every bit of my being.⁠
⁠
Do you have a water? If so, have you ever thought about why that's your water? Maybe you even travel for water, as so many people do for sun!⁠

Look up, look down, look all around.

Here’s a challenge to you this week: the next time that you go for a walk along a familiar route, swivel your head to look in a different direction than what you usually do. Such a tiny change in perspective just might surprise you!

Hello September!🍃

This time of year is the best!!! As a kid I LOVED making back to school shopping lists (which my parents promptly cut in half and then in half again😆), finding out who my teachers were, and seeing friends after the summer. After university, September continued to be an exciting transitional month because that’s when I moved abroad for the first time to Ireland, and then a few years later to Jeju-do, and a few years after that, to New Zealand!

While I’m not moving to any new countries this year😢, nor am I wading through the precarious situation in our traditional school system (Major Props🖐🏼 to all of my fellow teachers out there), I am continuing to explore and share local adventures, which I hope are informative and entertaining for you!

What does September mean for you? Do you live in a place where the seasons are changing? Are you heading back to school or work or somewhere around the world? What transitions are going on in your life?

Wow. Sitting on a patio, enjoying a cold cider, and getting some work done is a tiny pleasure I haven’t enjoyed in almost 2 years. How we take things for granted.

Speaking of, while many of us are fortunate to enjoy a roof over our head, a warm bed, food on the table, and social supports, many of our community do not.

This is where you can help!

There is so much need in our communities and the pandemic has only increased and further exposed the social gap.

It’s so easy to help.

Today purchase anything on tap (beer or cider) from @arabellaparkbar and $1 will be donated to @abettertentcity .

You can also visit the tiny homes in Belmont Village from today until Aug 2 and donate via @tiptappay machines.

To learn more, visit Arabella Park’s page, read about the Better Tent City initiative and how the passing of generous thought leader has left 150 people in limbo, without a home. We are all humans and deserve to have the basic necessities. Enjoy a pint, learn more about essential community programs, and help your fellow humans in the process. ❤️

You asked for more information on the @queensgreen

You asked for more information on the @queensgreengarden Edible Sidewalk Garden, so here it is!🪴

📖 The wonderful folks at the Queen’s Green Community Garden let me know that member gardener, Glennis Yantzi, initiated the Edible Sidewalk Garden in 2017. The name came from a book called “Edible Garden” (author unknown).

💡 The inspiration came from years back when her front yard was transformed into a community veggie garden for neighbours to enjoy. Her sister pushed her to consider making accessibility a focus so that all members of the community, regardless of status, could take what they need. Glennis also shared legumes with the @foodbankwatreg .

🌺 As a member of the #queensgreencommunitygarden , Glennis wanted to continue spreading community cheer and proposed swapping the perennials along the sidewalk into food. Her fellow gardeners loved the idea and everyone pitched in to make it happen.

💚 In fact, even today every member of the Queen’s Garden contributes their time and energy growing and caring for the veggies and herbs by dividing up the tasks. Not only is the food available for anyone walking by, it is grown with a whole lot of love. Talk about a fresh serving of good vibes travelling from the earth into people’s bellies!

Have you heard of community neighbourhood gardens near you that do anything similar? Are you a part of a larger plot or is your front yard a gardener’s paradise?
