What is the Future of Healthy Snacking?

by canadianbeauty June 29, 2008
I don’t think that the future of healthy snacking is to just add water.  I think that it’s all about education.  It’s about teaching people about their own bodies and what’s good for them, and what they can eat really makes a difference on their health!  Chemicals are never the solution to anything, so lets just not even go there.  More than anything, we just need to get back to the basics!

Are You Flexing Your Empathy Muscles

by canadianbeauty June 29, 2008
Somehow, these days I am much more tolerant and understanding than I used to be.  I used to be one judgmental girl, but now when someone does something bad or mean that I don’t understand I think to myself “I really don’t know that person and what they’ve been through today or in their whole lives for that matter, so lets just forget about it and move on.”  Before I used to think that this was excusing bad behaviour and the only response was to confront it, but the bottom line is that I don’t know where the bad behaviour is coming from and that personw ill one day get their just desserts anyway.

You May Tell a Story but How Will It Be Retold?

by canadianbeauty June 29, 2008

Some of my stories will be retold with a sentence tacked on that says “Well, I know this girl and she had the most amazing experiences…”

I love that!

What would you do differently if you could start over?

by vasta June 28, 2008

Funny you should ask…especially since the questions are starting all over again. This one was asked on April 4. Looks like they ran out of questions to ask.

Time to kill this blog?

How could you inspire someone to ride a bike?

by vasta June 25, 2008

This question really interests me, because I don’t know how to ride a bike.

Yes, it’s true. I’m 26-years-old and can’t ride a bike.

I want to learn how to ride a bike, but the barriers seem to be a bit high once you’ve hit this age. You need to not only buy a bike that’s probably going to get stolen in a few weeks in downtown Toronto, but also a helmet, lock, and all the accessories. On top of that, you need to learn how to ride a bike in a city where cars aren’t very friendly and there isn’t much empty space to try things other than the roads.

Oh, and nobody really seems to know how to teach an old guy how to ride a bike.

I want to overcome all those obstacles, and I know I can. But I just need that kick-in-the-ass to really motivate me. Can you provide that?

I think the rising gas prices are going to do a lot to help inspire people to start riding bikes. And hopefully, inspire the public transit system to start making progressive changes as well.

What story can you tell that will make a difference?

by dokoohakoo June 22, 2008

I must say I agree with vasta entirely on this subject.

Though, if I must, to me the kind of story one can tell that would make the most impact would be one of kindness.

What story can you tell that will make a difference?

by vasta June 22, 2008

As much as I’m happy to get a question about stories, I’m a bit upset by this question because it assumes that there are certain stories that can be told that will make a difference.

The truth?

Every story you tell will make a difference to someone. And everytime to you communicate to anyone at all, you’re telling a story.

So what this question should have asked, instead, is what difference are you making with the stories you tell?

Because in the end, every good storyteller wants to make an impact.
