"The Book"

I hadn't checked my email all day. Between being with my kids and doing a business lunch, I just hadn't got there. Just before supper, I decided to pop down to my little basement office (which I can no longer call a dungeon as I now have some bright orange, green, and pink fabric up to hide the storage shelving) and check my email.

Much to my delight, I found one with the subject line "The book" from a wonderful business acquaintance of mine. She had just bought the book after a business event, so I was curious what she said about it. She proceeded to tell me quite a powerful story.

I'm so grateful she took the time to share it, as it never ceases to touch my heart when I hear of how people are being positively affected by what we've all invested ourselves in (Rodney, the participants and I). If our book has made a difference in your life, please take a few minutes and share your story by commenting, or emailing me at sonya@evestudios.ca If you choose email, please also let me know if this story can be shared with others and how you would prefer to be credited (initials/first name/full name).

If you haven't purchased a book yet, you can go to http://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/ or visit their store in Winnipeg. Soon we hope to have our shopping cart up and running as well.

Keep your head up kid

I recently spent 4 hours of my life watching a CBC movie “Keep your head up kid” the Don Cherry story. We all have highs and lows in life but I was struck by how low life got for Don. I’d always seen Don Cherry as a loudmouthed commentator with an eccentric style, I’d never seen who he really was.

As I watched I couldn’t help but think that we are all at a place in life that is very far from where we could be; some of us feel hopeless and others feel helpless. Don Cherry said that it was when he was at rock bottom he said a prayer and very clearly heard the voice of God giving him direction. Things quickly changed and now years later Don Cherry is recognised as one of the greatest Canadians in history.

If you are going through a tough time, “keep your heard up kid” there is a plan for your life and it’s a good one.

Have a great day.
