The Women Empowerment Brunch

On Sunday, August 14, 2016, we had our annual summer brunch. This event started with my girlfriend wanting to end the summer on a great note a few years back, August 2011, to be exact. She invited me and six other of her closest friends along with a couple of her neighbors to spend the day in her beautiful home and garden. We had such an amazing day we decided to make it an annual thing—Dawn's Big Hat, Long Dress Garden Brunch. The pictures got raving reviews on facebook. As time went by, more and more people started requesting invites or asked why they weren't invited. My girlfriend being a people lover and having a huge heart decided to open her doors to more people the following year. Six years later, it has come to be known as the Women Empowerment Brunch, with over 30 fabulous ladies in their long dresses, big hats and lots of bling! This year, we collected non-perishable items to be delivered to a woman's shelter in Brampton, home of the event. I was asked to give a talk on women empowerment. You can read it here. But first here are a few pictures of the event.

Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein - The man was a Genius

Note: This list of Einstein quotes was being forwarded around the Internet in e-mail, so I decided to put it on my web page. I'm afraid I can't vouch for its authenticity, tell you where it came from, who compiled the list, who Kevin Harris is, or anything like that. Still, the quotes are interesting and enlightening. Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." "Imagination is more important than knowledge." "Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love." "I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details." "The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax." "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." "The only real valuable thing is intuition." "A person starts to live when he can l...

Embracing Nature: A Summer Symphony of Vibration

In the realm of nature, summer is a season of vibrant energy. The sun shines high, the days are long, and the atmosphere buzzes with the hum of life. It is a time of bountiful harvests, flourishing flora, and the vibrant hues of the natural world. A time when the symphony of nature is at its peak, with each element - from the gentle rustle of leaves to the melodious chirping of birds - contributing its unique note. The Pulse of Nature: Vibration At the heart of this symphony is the concept of vibration. Everything in nature - from the tiniest grain of sand to the mightiest oak tree - is in a constant state of vibration. This vibration is not just a physical movement, but a form of energy that is fundamental to the way nature functions. Summer keeps the planets in their orbits and their particles bound together. In the context of summer, vibration takes on a special significance. The increased sunlight and warmth lead to more intense vibrations, resulting in a flurry of activity in the ...
