December 3-10th, 2019, a group of us travelled with Kelly Oswald, owner of The Oracle, and her husband, James, to the tip of the Baja Peninsula, Cabos San Lucas, Mexico.
Kelly’s friend, Adriana, helped chaperone us as we visited foundations assisting beautiful women and children living in poverty and often violence.
We participated in sharing a simple drawstring back pack pattern for the ladies to sew and sell, lunch-time feeding and clean-up at a local school, lots of playing, and handing out requested gifts of crayons and colouring books.
It was hard to witness the dichotomy of rich and poor — I knew it was there having visited Cabos before — but not to the extent I saw it this time. There is a marina full of million dollar yachts and a few miles away dirt roads, not enough food, violence and abuse. . .
Bless the ones born into the physical poverty with the possibility of violence and abuse.
We are here to lift everyone up,
for gender equality to be reality here Now.

July 2019, Krista Brown of Wisteria Acres, created Romeo’s Dream Adult Community Outreach Program, a non-profit that allows those in need to experience the wisdom of the horses.
From the gift of these beautiful books (above) by award winning Canadian author Claire Hitchon, to an amazing meditation where we became horses, to an obstacle course in tandem with the horses, it was another beautiful day with Krista Brown, owner of Wisteria Acres and Linda, shaman/assistant extraordinaire, and the women in recovery from John Volken Academy.

Jody Wilson-Raybould is running as an Independent in my riding.
I can see her new campaign office from my apartment window and I’m super excited to be out canvasing for her!
We are meeting wonderful people in the neighbourhood who really appreciate Jody’s values, her dedication to our nation’s right alignment.
