week in review
we are happy to announce the winner of the changesomething contest all the causes were inspiring. special shout out to SAINTS who came in
a close second. watch for special profiles on some of these orgs in the
near future.
i myself work a four day work week and it has always been a really
important priority to me not to spend my whole life working. i adore my
job and the work i get to do here, and working four days a week leaves
me plenty of time to volunteer and pursue other things like my artwork
and healing body work. i fully support in any way i can, people who are making this their reality. leaving more time to actually BE in our lives with our children, friends, lovers and neighbours is a wonderful thing.
A couple funny videos I came across this week I just had to share. The facebook parody was pretty clever and the second video (which I have been watching over and over) makes me laugh out loud because actually this cat reminds me of my dog Lucy.

Chor Leoni Men's Choir: HOPE
Saturday, November 10, 2007

Is our deep desire for peace and its actuality an impossibility? Chor
Leoni chooses to explore this perplexing question in a concert that
acknowledges the conflict around us, encourages us to HOPE and
rediscover peace when it is absent. Join us as we explore this eternal
quest in works by Beethoven, Chilcott, Lindberg, and more. HOPE
features the world premiere of a new Remembrance Day work by Steven
Sametz, poetry by Walt Whitman.
$20 tickets for seating in the Cathedral’s chancel (seats behind the
choir) will be available at the door 15 minutes before curtain on Nov
