Four Points by Sheraton Halifax is presenting their second annual "Connect for a Cause" on September 13th, from 5 30 - 9 pm. You can purchase tickets through ovariancancer.org/atlantic or by calling their office in Halifax. Join us for cocktails, dinner, a silent auction, networking with the business community and others wanting to make a difference.
Last year I was honoured and humbled to be the keynote speaker for the first annual Connect for a Cause. This year Nora Duke and Monique Hurley will take center stage. Nora is President and CEO of Fortis Properties and Monique is an ovarian cancer survivor.
I will have a minute or two at the mic but not to worry I won't speak for long this year!!
This year's event is shaping up to be even more successful than last year when $9,000.00 was raised for the Ovarian Cancer Society.
Along with the Four Points by Sheraton Halifax team I will be there to welcome you back. Please come!
From the heart,

As part of the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic the great staircase from the Titanic has been duplicated at the entrance of the Halifax casino. Lois and I viewed the staircase with a heavy heart.
Our mother is buried at the Fairview Cemetery in Halifax as are the remains of many of the Titanic victims. Over the years, and especially while I was living in Halifax and visited my mom's grave more often, we have had discussions with those who came to seek out the Titanic victim's headstones. There were times when the tour buses bothered me as they roared in and the tourists stomped all through the graveyard seeking "Titanic" references but, for the most part, I tried to understand.
A terrible piece of history.

And to those who will grow to be strong women...
Not so many ice cream trucks around today. At least not in downtown Toronto. As a child in rural Nova Scotia there was no such thing - I believe I was living in Kingston Ontario, Jalen was four years old, when we saw our first ice cream truck - together. It wasn't a fancy truck, but it did have lots of ice cream.
And, we both had a big one!
A few people who are very special to me are smokers. I wish they were not and in some cases they wish the same thing............this one is for you!
Love

Lexi loved the MerryGoRound while Jalen opted for Mini Golf. Anything sports related is Jalen's first choice.
