Finding Inspiration to Change the World at We Day Saskatchewan with Telus-Giveaway

November 15, 2013 by Kathryn 155 Comments

I think almost everyone feels insignificant at some point, as if their actions couldn’t possibly make a difference in the world. But when one spark ignites to inspire hundreds, then the smallest actions can have a big impact on the world. Craig Kielburger is the perfect example of that philosophy. At just twelve years of age, he read a story about child slavery and was inspired to take action. He talked to his teacher, stood up in front of his class and ignited the spark that would grow to become Free the Children, an international charity and educational partner that operates in 45 different countries.

But his work didn’t stop there! As a believer that youth would be the ones that change the world, Craig and his brother Mark joined together in initiatives that would both better the world and inspire young people to make a difference. One of the brothers’ most well-known and inspiring achievements was the founding of We Day, the national celebration of youth leaders in the community. Last year, We Day came to Saskatchewan for the very first time. And this year the event returned once more to celebrate and inspire the 16,000 youth in attendance.

Coca-Cola Canada Shares Stories of Inspirational Canadians this Summer to Help Encourage Acts of Kindness

July 31, 2013 by Kathryn 14 Comments

One of the basic truths of human nature is that our smallest actions can grow to have a big impact on our lives and the lives of others. Even something as simple as smiling at a person that looks sad can create a ripple that yields positive results all day long. And a recent national survey conducted by Environics Research on behalf of Coca-Cola Canada shows that Canadians are performing plenty of little acts of kindness in the course of a month! But many people believe that those actions aren’t getting the recognition they deserve.

That’s why Coca-Cola Canada went on a national search to find and showcase some of the amazing Canadians that go above and beyond with acts of kindness that enrich the lives of others on a daily basis. Reading about regular people doing such incredible things had me feeling inspired to make a difference too. These are some of the stories of everyday heroes that were found: [Read more…]

You’re Contagious, Make It Count!

August 24, 2012 by Kathryn 15 Comments

For the most part, bloggers are incredibly supportive of one another and I’m so glad to be a part of the Canadian blogging community. But every once in a while, a blogger will attack her peers because she feels that they’re not acting in the “right” way.

It hurts me when I see things like this, but as I thought about events like these, I realized that they are by no means limited to the blogosphere. High school is what will spring to many minds when public humiliations of this sort are discussed but even in adult relationships, humans often have the need to criticize and judge each other. It can be subtle: the mom on the playground commenting that SHE would never let her child eat a pre-packaged snack like the one you just handed your child. Or it can be more obvious, especially online: a hateful comment that visiting a fast-food restaurant on your vacation has doomed your children to a life of bad health and obesity.

Inspire Your Family with the Family Manifesto Poster from Life Manifestos-Giveaway

August 7, 2012 by Kathryn 47 Comments

FamilyManifestoPersonalizedSmallI want my home to always be a place where my children can feel safe and loved. A place where they can share their feelings, express their frustrations and use their imaginations all that they want. There are times when it can be hard to remember how much I want that. (Like those moments when I’ve asked them something nineteen times and asking a twentieth just might make me go crazy!) So that’s why I was delighted when I got the chance to review the Family Manifesto poster from Life Manifestos.

This gorgeous 16” by 20” poster comes in both a generic and a personalized version. I decided to get the Personalized Family Manifest Poster that features the words “We are the Lavallee Family” printed in the centre. The manifesto contains a statement that embraced everything I want my boys to feel when they’re in their home, a manifesto that inspired strength and confidence while creating an atmosphere of love, comfort, and support.
