Sometimes you want to be in a room filled with all your loved ones. And sometimes you need to be in a room filled with no one but yourself.

It's all about finding a balance that works for you!

Your first job is a wild experience, but Jess' might just be the wildest one we've ever heard of 🦁

Breathing underwater? Flight? Maybe you’d choose super strength. We won’t know until YOU leave a comment!

Do you ever look at your pet and wonder "What is going on inside their head"? Because Jess definitely does.

They say "when you know, you know". And Jess knew right away that outreach work was her calling.

The person you spend most of your time with is you. Don't forget to give yourself the grace you give to others 😊

Happy first day of school to everyone. Please stay safe and get ready to embark on a wonderful year. 📚🎓🚌✏️🖍📖🏫

NEVER GIVE UP DAY

The fact that the right mindset can bring extraordinary results and make one go beyond one’s potential, has been well known to humans for thousands of years. This is the reason Plato in the fourth century mentioned that “reason is in the head, but courage is in the chest and appetite in the abdomen” Ancient Greeks believed that the body’s “desires, pleasures, and pains” were the key components in motivation in humans.

International Youth Day - August 12,2022.

On 23 December 1994, the United Nations General Assembly decided, in its resolution 49/214, that the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People shall be observed on 9 August every year. The date marks the day of the first meeting, in 1982, of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations.

On this day, people from around the world are encouraged to spread the UN’s message on the protection and promotion of the rights of indigenous peoples. ( https://www.un.org/development/desa/indigenouspeoples/international-day-of-the-worlds-indigenous-peoples.html)

June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada. First celebrated in 1996, the day — which falls on the summer solstice — is meant to recognize and honour First Nations, Inuit and Métis cultures.

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing Dads.

World Blood Donor Day is celebrated on the 14 June every year. It is being distinguished to raise awareness about saving lives by blood donations. Each year millions of people all over the world decide to donate blood and plasma; this is the reason why it has been called the World Blood Donor Day.

There are a number of reasons why people take part in blood donation events like World Blood Donor Day every year. First, it is a way to save the lives of many people who are affected by diseases and conditions. In addition, by donating blood, these patients will be able to continue their medical treatment, which will give them better chances to survive the disease.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with an estimated 600 million cases of foodborne illnesses annually, unsafe food is a threat to human health and economies, disproportionally affecting vulnerable and marginalized people, especially women and children, populations affected by conflict, and migrants. An estimated 420 000 people around the world die every year after eating contaminated food and children under 5 years of age carry 40% of the foodborne disease burden, with 125 000 deaths every year.

World Food Safety June aims to draw attention and inspire action to help prevent, detect and manage foodborne risks, contributing to food security, human health, economic prosperity, agriculture, market access, tourism and sustainable development.

3 June World Bicycle Day.” The go on to point out the benefits of cycling to sustainable development, education, health and disease prevention, tolerance, inclusion, and peace.

Guide dogs provide opportunities for social interaction and greater independence for legally blind adults. International Guide Dog Day pays tribute to the dogs who do this impressive work.

Guide dogs help the visually impaired make their way through the world while offer love and comfort in so many ways.

References to guide dogs date back to at least the 16th century, so for the hundreds of years of service that these faithful companions have provided, we say thank you.
