Thanks to Mayor Gary McNamara for being the best example for our people and youth, I wish I was with my kids this cold morning at the intersection of Lesperance and Tecumseh at 7:30am,to show them who was there and what he was doing with the Goodfellow newspaper up high trying to get donations to help the ones that need the most, He is our government, he is our representation in the country ,he is the maximum city authority, and he was helping to get donations props to him PROUD TO BE A TECUMSEH RESIDENT AND TO BE REPRESENTED BY HIM

Today after work I quickly ran into Indigo to grab my boys a book. There were two cashiers both busy happily helping the women in front of them. So I stood in line and waited my turn one of the cashier and customers left to go look for something and the other customer said Oh I'm so sorry I'm taking so long. I said no worries and started looking at the cool bins of stuff they have at the check out area. She seemed flustered and said I'm really sorry I had my chemo treatment today and I'm not feeling very well. Well this just took my breath away. She showed us her port and I stood there absolutely speechless. There were a million things running through my head, I didn't know this beautiful brave women standing in front of me, but I couldn't stop but think this lady is apologizing to me because she felt like she was taking too long. There were a million things I wanted to say to her, but I said no take your time I'm in no rush, she went on to tell us she had liver cancer and breast cancer. I wanted to hug her but again I was speechless. I want to tell her what I wish I would have told her standing in line where she gave me a moment to reflect and realize, you never know the struggles of the person in front of you or anywhere for that matter. You are a beautiful brave women that I believe has the spirit of a fighter so open and willing to share tells me she has the attitude of a survivor. Thank you for that moment you gave me and gratitude for sharing your story. I don't know if this women is religious and I'm not really but I believe You attract the energy you put out and I believe it comes back to you. So I will be sending this beautiful brave stranger in front of me in line at Indigo love, healing, light and prayers that she kicks Cancers ass!!! #F**kcancer

To the person who retrieved a small black M.A.C bag at Devonshire Mall and turned it in to Customer Service, a big THANK YOU!! I hope you see this and know how much I appreciate your gesture and how much I hope that good things come your way. Two small items but worth $67 (M.A.C stuff is great but it ain't cheap!) and I figured I was going to have to repurchase them. Again, thank you!!

I have been meaning to write this for a year, so on my daughter's first birthday I feel it's appropriate.
On Monday November 21, 2016 I gave birth to my daughter. I had a very quick, very intense labour followed by an emergency c-section with a general anaesthetic. I want to especially thank Jonna and Lisa. Their kindness and compassion for me during a dangerous time will never be forgotten. Every nurse that came in contact with me that day treated me with such respect. They reassured me, encouraged me and cared for me in a way I never expected.
I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and shed light on the extremely important and often underappreciated job these nurses have. These are women who leave their families to care for you and yours.

Today on November 21 , I went shopping at the freshco on 300 Tecumseh after finishing my shopping I had called a cab and it arrived. I then had to load everything in my self as the cab driver did not help I had a very large cart consisting of cases and juice boxes. I then hoped in the cab and stated my address he turned the meter on then he decided to do a complete circle around the parking lot and go a different way I had asked he didn't like that I had asked to go out the mcdougal side instead of Tecumseh , he then Rudley refused to drive me and stoped me back in front of freshco where again I then had to unload everything I just had loaded myself, yet again myself . When a polite man and his locket grand mother walked up and asked if I could use a ride I was in tears grateful after all that , he helped me load the groceries in his vehicle and even unload them. I offered money as a thank you and they both refused and said they were happy to help and been in similar situation. I can't stress how much that there are still amazing people out there to just lend the helping hand you need at the time you never expect. Matt and grandma Helen you two have been spotted and are the most generous set of souls , you two are wonderful and I'm so thankful to you both , with warm hearts and the best wishes in life you two deserve it !

I would like to thank the good samaritans that took a moment from delivering their papers near Drouillard rd, a gentlemen and his wife. They saw my adult daughter that was visibly upset as she had accidentally locked herself out of her home at approx 4 a.m.after stepping out onto her porch, and was cold and frightened. These kind people drove her to my home and to where she would be safe. It is heartwarmming to know that charitable, kind spirited people still exist!♡

I was at FreshCo on Wyandotte and Lauzon a few hours ago and twice my card was declined, I was just going to tell the cashier to forget it when the lady next in line said she would pay for my groceries, and it made me tear up for that to happen. I told her I would pay it forward and she said merry Christmas, So, to the lady at the FreshCo around 6:15, if you are reading this, THANKS AGAIN from the bottom of my heart!

On Wednesday my brothers and I were in a car accident and it was incredibly scary and we were shook up and hurt some. It wound up involving 3 vehicles and did a good job of blocking traffic for awhile, but everyone involved, including the ones whose vehicles were very damaged were kind and only concerned with those who were actually in their vehicles. The owner of the parked car who was hit came out, not yelling about her car, rather offering coats, comfort and coffee. Another neighbour came out to help direct traffic while we waited for the police. It's not an experience I care to repeat, but all involved were extremely supportive and caring and I wonder if you know how much your spirit in that moment helped calm me that night? Thank you for your care and concern about people above property.
