(~+~) (032312230AMishC.E.S.)
Hello,
Have you ever felt like you're meant for a "greater purpose"? I sure have many times over now! Whenever I have met "groups" within our community that seem to be so "like minded" to me, I want to SHARE!!! I am now known for it, and to certain friends I have earned a "title", meet "The Info. Whore"!
Information Generally Shared:
News, research/ knowledge, inspirations, positivity, wacky celebrations, networking/ connections, places, & projects/ collaborations (including our game-in-the-making), and honouring our dead (R.I.P. We LOVE YOU!). +
Brief history
It all started when I began making a game, and it has grown to be my 1st major project/ "business initiative". When I moved to Kitchener, I started a website for a different project idea, and my 2nd major project/ "business initiative" - my creative women's resource/ support. I continued into our artist rich community through my collaborative endeavors, so it seemed only natural to create a 3rd project/ "business initiative" for the other 2 to be based out of/ from - my "studio" type of idea. Since then many things have "surfaced"/ become my reality, and it continues to inspire me to grow in many positive ways.

LAUNCHING REALITY FURTHER I found a few groups of interest one day on "meetup.com"., and one was called "Access Creativity". I was intrigued, and read theif information. I found that they were local, and had a "meet up" coming up the very next day! I felt I should join them in person, checked into a last minute baby sitter (despite my dislike for it), and thanked her for the favor when she agreed.
The next day I went to the meeting; and felt I had found "kindred spirits", by being at the right place at the right time. It was inspiring to hear & understand their discussions, be included, and be understood so well. They even appreciated how I think of creativity itself, and during discussions my brain "sprang into high-speed action"! With whom I happen to know that may fit, be beneficial knowing, or be appreciated for what was being discussed at the time. Filled with inspirational thoughts, I took notes and promised to share them.
=
All in all it was an amazing night of discussions, and it was awesome to meet them!
+
Before I begin, please note the following:
1. My memory may be off a bit with a couple things for clarity purposes.
2. Some links are only found on Facebook (FB).
3. Anyone interested in any link throughout this blog, is more than welcome to check them all out.
Thankz (^^^)

GENERAL NOTES, THOUGHTS/ IDEAS/ CONNECTIONS
~ Theatre plays for educational purposes
Could be for "kids of all ages", and about/ to include:
+ Eco-friendly issues addressed, activities, and events/festivals.
Ex. Sustainability, REEP, Earth Hour, going green/ recycling, etc...
+ Social justice, conscious positive lifestyles, etc...
Ex. UrbanEx
+ Eventually to incorporate it into my game.
+ I'm sure I can think of more here also.
+++
~ "Life Rules"
1. PAY ATTENTION
2. Be astonished
3. Tell about it
I indeed think that's what has happened for me there, and why I'm sharing all this as a blog!
+++
~ Continual mentions of connectivity in Life and the "Law of Attraction", reminds me of a few things:
1. "The Secret" (book/ movie), and Albert Einstein with his many statements about them - one in mind particularly...
3. Re-confirming why I found this group, and attended this meeting. If I remember correctly, it's as Pam said:
~ UrbanEx Website Facebook
+
~ The Chrysalids theatre Facebook
+
~ Velvet Rope Magazine Website Facebook
+
~ Mandyland Website Facebook
+
~ "The Kitchener Songwriting Meetup Group" Meetup
+++
~ Melissa spoke about possibilities of connecting the "human" aspect, more to machines like computers - if we could be more "virtual" (as I called it) with the machines. Mentioning someone showing it by moving a virtual screen from one surface to another, even into different rooms & from being "on screen" like a hologram in the middle of a room, then onto a computer screen,etcetera. It was FASCINATING!!!
It reminded me of a few things:
1. All those great sci-fi movies like "Tron", "Lawnmower Man", Star Trek, etcetera; and especially a movie called "Brainstorm". I only ever saw once (back in the late 70s or early 80s) and never forgotten it (yes, I am a fan of sci-fi.).
2. A previous conversation I had with another friend, who had recently been discovering a machine that can take information and create 3D products.
+
Things I thought to mention:
~ As mentioned above, the movie "Brainstorm"~ Also as mentioned above... The name of the 3D product enabling machine. I don't remember what the machine was called, but once I find out I will let you know/ include it here with a link for info. of what exactly it is/ does.
~ Again, Mandyland
~ Tri-Pride (I volunteer when possible) Website Facebook
+
~ Club Ren Website Facebook + new location: Ren 41 (cafe? on King St.E?).
+++
~ Pam spoke of energy, and how we & it seem to be able to "dance" through thoughts/ life.
It reminded me of a few things:
1. A book I discovered through a "stress management" course I took a while back at K/W Counseling.
Called: "D.A.N.C.E. Five steps to Living your Best Life" - by Deborah DeJong.
I actually have an extra copy of it, so if anyone wants it please let me know.
2. "Powder" - a WICKED movie that I totally LOVE!
3."Ti's Art & Soul Studio" (in Calgary, AB) Website Facebook
+++
~ Lisa spoke of an online magazine called "One Thousand Trees" - Website
It reminded me again of Velvet Rope Magazine, & Mandyland.
+++
~ Response-ability: How we respond/ react.
~ Choices: Do we always see one, both, or all?
+++
~ Other conversations inspired/ reminded me of the following:
1. My photo album on FB called 'Goodies in my Hoody'. It was pics from around my neighborhood; and it included not only different "finds", but also the businesses. After which I thought about the beneficial possibility of having a "networking night" for them (and the rest of the neighbourhood), to all meet each other. Done via hosting a BBQ (maybe not myself hosting it), at Victoria Park.

2. The thought to blog my notes from this meeting, so as to create in a sense a 'Goodies In My Hoody #2'. For the purpose of networking creative connections I know of. Would anyone be interested in the BBQ idea???
3. The Iron Horse Trail event called "Animate the Trail", and includes The Henry Sturm Community Festival.
A fundraiser for a mural to be added to a shed on the trail, and in memorial of John Ferreria (a neighbour who recently tragically died on it.). John's story
+++
~ Wouldn't it be GREAT if we could all be "attuned" with the Law of Attraction? So as to be able to not only expect it, but also prepare for it!!!
+++
~ GREAT quotes to remember from Kate:
1. "The center is everywhere, the boundaries are nowhere."
Can apply to not only the idea of energy in/ as our lives, but also many other "focal points"/ aspects.
2. "We are awareness"
Conscious spirituality, choices, emergence, etc...
~ The mentions of Bruce Lipton (I've actually seen some of his stuff), Yonny, etc...
Re: Connectivity, inspirations, spirituality, etc...
+++
~ WHAT IS:
+ Sufism + Baraka -(my spelling must be wrong, can't find a link) + "Vocational arousal"
+++
~ Pam's song again reminded me of the theory behind the movie "Powder".
~ Pam suggested that I look up Barbara Markx Hubbard
+++
~ Conversations reminded me of another topic I wrote of (lost, so I'd like to re-write it) some time ago, called: 'Life Is Like An Artist' & I'd also like to write about my theory of how 'Life IS Creativity'.
+++
OTHERS
Uptown Shoes & Repairs (does leather work also)
Matt Atrouzi (a.k.a. My shoe guy)
+
Devonian Gardens (in Calgary Alberta)
+
Movie: "Holes" (done by Disney, but was a book first)
~ I'm sure the books & movies list(s) could be longer here. (^^^)
===+++===+++===
NOTES:
~ This blog has been shortened/ included in other blogs. The links will be ready soon.
~ If I have forgotten you my apologies, please message me with links included.
Thankz
