I just found out that Pemberton physiotherapist (formerly of Local Motion, and now of her home-based Tall Poppy Therapy), Vicki Powell, went to the rival high school to mine. This might not seem strange to you. But I grew up in Brisbane. So I'm 5000 miles from these kind of random encounters. (Which is why I also … Continue reading Vicki Powell’s first ever instagram takeover (with her first ever phone)
(I can attest that Nic did blush when I asked her to be our instagrammer this past week. Here's her recap of the experience. It comes with a "mist" warning... 'cause it made me tear up. You can peek at all her posts at https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessalmanac/. Thanks, Nic.

Getting to know your neighbours, they say, is one of the most basic and powerful ways to build community resilience - in the event of emergency or crisis. It’s hard to do, though, especially if you’re shy and not much of a muffin-baker. I mean, what is the protocol? Do you just rock up with … Continue reading Instagram Project welcomes our 18th takeover
https://www.instagram.com/p/BI2adpcj3Hb/?taken-by=thewellnessalmanac In between university, camping trips, vacations, visiting family, working downtown and conferences, Kamana Bikadi managed to squeeze a week of instagramming into her schedule for us. https://www.instagram.com/p/BI7wke0D6vP/?taken-by=thewellnessalmanac While she's based in Vancouver for school, we caught her on a week when her weekend was going to bring her back to Pemberton. https://www.instagram.com/p/BI-YPU7jPm7/?taken-by=thewellnessalmanac I thought … Continue reading Kamana Bikadi had one week this summer that wasn’t jam-packed and she agreed to instagram for us. Here’s how it went down.
I cornered Ed in the kitchen at work. I knew he took amazing photos, that he has awesome energy and plays a lot outside, riding and building trails and adventuring throughout the region, so I asked him to takeover the Wellness Almanac instagram account. "Sure," he said. "I'll give it a go." So he did. … Continue reading Ed’s Week on Instagram

Instagram isn't really Mike Richman's thing. In fact, social media isn't his jive. He'd rather talk to people, for real. He'd rather do, than take selfies. He does have an instagram account, but only because the girls on his basketball team peer-pressured him into it. But when I asked him to take-over the instagram account … Continue reading When the Mayor took over the instagram account and got this close to Billy Idol
