Penny Gallery fundraiser
This year, as part of their ongoing efforts to raise funds to support full-day Kindergarten, Kingsway Mall is hosting a fundraiser to honour the memory of the penny. From March 15 to April 5 at Kingsway Mall, the Penny Gallery will showcase art installations made by Grades 5/6 student artists from Mount Royal School. Pennies are already rolling in! Students at the three schools receiving funding from the Foundation for their full-day programs − Lauderdale, Mee-Yah-Noh and Tipaskan − have already initiated penny collection campaigns.
All coppers are welcome and appreciated! If you'd like to make a contribution and help us get children ready for life, please drop them off:
March 15 to April 3: Check out the art installations and make a contribution at Kingsway Mall (outside Gap and Body Works)

"There is no painless way for psychological transformation" Carl Gustav Jung
The other day, looking at my emails, I came across a very nice message from Divaldo Franco, which read: "Suffering is the presence of absent love. When not loved comes to pain to wake us up. "
I confess that one reason this sentence have called me a lot of attention, due to the fact that I is going through a very difficult, after an accident and later fracture in his leg.
After surgery and now in recovery, it could literally say that I'm relearning how to walk in all directions. When you do not walk according to the life she came to bring us some kind of learning, so that we can be reinserted back on track ...
We've all heard at some point in our lives, some sort of comment in relation to suffering: they say that suffering ennobles, strengthens our spirit, bringing us learning, etc.. Becomes common, when we are experiencing some sort of discomfort, embark on a process of internal questioning, examining the people with whom we are engaged, our attitudes towards life, attitudes, and feelings generated marks caused so that a relatively short time the whole situation may actually be well assimilated and accepted. Within this overall context, when we see the pain itself as a great ally and not an enemy, in fact returned to their origin, thus bringing a new vision and understanding of it.
And in so many questions when our pain reaches the edge of unbearable, we may be doing some questions: Why me? Do I deserve? What I did happen to that fact?
Right now, some may switch between the revolt and compassion.
Compassion gives us the ability to attune ourselves with other people who go through suffering, often far greater than ours, and we let the basic need in the second place temporarily, we find that in giving, in fact, we are strengthening our sense of inner strength.
We can see in a momentary glance, that questions once formalized in the context of rebellion and rejection, could be transformed into other, more complex and profound:
- Does it enhance or stopped loving someone in particular? I learned to forgive and not allow the hurt and anger invade my heart? What do I need to learn that this is happening to me? I'm sure that ulterior motives can be many and the answer is certainly within the consciousness of each one of us.
Throughout life, I have observed that each person has their own personal process of pain or suffering, but through my personal experience I can say that the main thing I learned is to be less strict with myself and others.
People are always imposing strict limits, often because they actually do not feel capable of overcoming their own, always hiding behind rules that make them stay in one place, where everything is known and safe, yet extremely limiting .
Today, with this broader consciousness, I realize that behind all my stiffness was my non-acceptance of the naturalness of life, which itself changes over time.
I learned that no matter leave some loose ends for tomorrow - he will always wait for us. I'm learning that no matter how hard we have to experience true love in its breadth, it is never too late to win it, albeit through pain or suffering ...
The lesson for me, translates into Socrates' famous words: "Make the stones you stumble on the stones of your ladder."

My son and I came across these step patterns for a tango on a bridge in Grand Rapids, and we both instantly thought of the book "Sophie and Lou" by Petra Mathers, which we read many times when he was little.
So we had to dance it (of course!), but it didn't start out so well, since neither of us knows how to dance, and we got the positions switched so I was leading, and he was trying to do all the tiny twirly moves with his size 13 shoes. Worked better when he realized what was going on and we switched. Better, but the people passing by were still grinning. LOL

The Speech-Language Pathology Career Exploration Camp, June 26-29, is for rising seniors. The camp allows students to become familiar with the many career options in the growing field of speech-language pathology. Participants tour the department’s state-of-the-art academic facilities at John J. Passan Hall, learn about the career field from guest lecturers, interact with pediatric clients, and observe live therapy sessions in the Speech-Language and Hearing Center. Speech-language pathologists work in schools, hospitals, nursing care facilities, home health care settings, outpatient care centers, day care centers for children, and institutions of higher education. The cost of this camp is $125.00. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from camp. This is not an overnight camp. Misericordia University will provide transportation while at the camp.
Today is Sankta Lucia, or the feast of Saint Lucy.
Lucia Day gets even us up before dawn and into town to experience the magic ceremony as the light comes into the sky and the singers come gliding in and sing those beautiful traditional songs. Usually that is what I blip but today, later in the morning, we were in a supermarket when a small group of little singers arrived from the nursery school next door and sung to both customers and staff. It was, of course, also incredibly moving but in a slightly different (cuter?) way.
It struck me that what I was seeing today is two parts of a tradition that has been going on since the middle ages in Scandinavia, and in the "modern" way for 200 years. Earliest in the day I saw the finished and polished version (Kappelsberg's music school) and now I was watching these little kids learning how to do the Lucia tradition. Maybe in 15 years or so some of them will be in the library or the cathedral producing that almost professional version!
I was amused by a sentence in the Wikipedia article on St Lucy''s Day. After much text about the Christian symbolism of all the various elements of the Scandanavian (and Italian) celebrations came...
"It is speculated that the St. Lucia's Day celebrations in Scandinavia may retain a few indigenous Germanic pagan, pre-ChristianMidwinter elements." I should say (speculate?) the entire ceremony is based on pagan Midwinter traditions! The Swedish "Thought for the Day" presenter on the radio this morning thought it was a non-religious festival of light, and therefore open to all.
Later in the day, as a contrast, we were at the premiere of the "Last of the Jedi" Star Wars film - noisy and fun!

I had known about the Mi'Kmaw game of waltes for many years but I had never seen it played. Today at the Port Royal Habitation we were offered the opportunity to learn how to play this ancient game. Waltes is played with a wooden bowl and six two sided dice. The player bangs the bowl to make the dice jump and tries to get five matching dice to open the game. Play continues with various combinations of dice needed to score. In a very nice touch, a hand is swept over the bowl after each failed turn to remove your bad luck. The sticks are used to keep score.
