In order to help others we must first become comfortable with ourselves. We believe we find the comfort in ourselves from helping others, but sometimes life gets more complicated than that. Blog posts in this section are all about how we can adjust our lives, our mental attitudes, our routines, on a personal level, so that we can achieve greater levels of personal satisfaction and thus increase our ability to spread positivity.

Yup, its the wild-west up here. Redneck Country. A place and time where some nasty stuff is coming out of peoples mouths...a Pastor for example, who is associated with the Wildrose Party has some nasty stuff to say about the Gay and Lesbians. The NDP Party on the other hand say they are proud to have Lesbian, Gay,
Bi-sexual and trans-gender types within their party...
Yup, the wild-west. And what is happening to this beautiful place, called Alberta? Are we now just another
shadow of some American city? It sure appears that way...
