I read an article that said the single best way to win the dinner party (ie make a positive enduring impression) is to ask people what they do for a living, and then say: “That sounds hard.” Apparently, this social ninja move is the fail-proof opening gambit. Three simple words to bypass tedious small … Continue reading The Dance of the Doula

Noted: clever use of third person so self won’t know self is at risk of being pressured into doing anything self considers to be a little over ambitious or that self simply has no interest in doing.

Johnny Jones has shared a host of stories with us on the Wellness Almanac, so this Tea & Talk on Thursday at the Lands & Resources Office looks well worth stopping in for.

But you don't have to follow that stuff. And, I like seeing the world through someone else's … Continue reading Amie Le Blanc is taking over our instagram account today for the week
The 2nd annual PSS Coffeehouse Library Fundraiser is happening Wednesday night. It might just be the coolest, most boho, coffee house in Pemberton - (no offence to Mt Currie Coffee, which otherwise has it in the bag for that category) - a pop-up cafe, gallery and open mic, that's only open one night of the year. … Continue reading Pemberton Secondary invites you to their 2nd annual Coffee House fundraiser, Wednesday Jan 13 from 6pm
