Wow! Where to start? I could do it chronologically or I could start off with what I consider to be the most exciting news first. It’s my column, after all, so I get to make the call. Well, I can’t wait, so I’d like to announce the birth of my first grandchild, Lukas Odin Corbin-Adamczyk. You do realize this makes Blair a grandpa. Yeah, I know, and I’m a grandma. Hard to believe, but Lukas’ birth on April 22nd confirms that fact, and we’re both loving it!

Free Raven
A bit of trivia for you: Corbin is an Old French word meaning raven. The Norse god, Odin, was accompanied by two ravens. Before she knew she was pregnant, our daughter had a dream that she would have a son named Odin. It wasn’t until she looked it up that she realized Odin was associated with ravens. Synchronicity!

During the day and night that culminated in Lukas Odin’s birth, my emotions ran the gamut. First there was love and anticipation, followed by compassion and understanding, a sense of unity, brief concern and frustration, more excitement, relief, awe, and once again love. Of course, my emotions weren’t the only ones in evidence. Everyone present for that momentous occasion has a story to tell. In the end, I witnessed overwhelming joy and absolute ecstasy that early Sunday morning.

Soaring Raven
Lukas had the privilege of being born at home, surrounded by his father, both grandmothers, and one grandfather (Blair focused on staying out of the way, in order to avoid being tossed out), and two capable birthing assistants. Obviously his mother, my lovely daughter, was present as well, although there were some moments during the long night when exhaustion reared it’s head, and she was ready to leave! However, left little choice, she stuck it out and produced her bouncing baby boy at 7:06 A.M. Life hasn’t been the same since - not for Lukas’ parents or his grandparents. This was definitely a transformational event.

Fair Trade
Now, let’s back-track a bit to the previous weekend. That was spent in oddly not-so-sunny Las Vegas, Nevada at the International Sign Expo. This was another incredible event, which provided some very successful opportunities for the SignEquip team (unlike the thankfully brief time spent in the casino - I’d best stick to what I do best!) Back to the show: Start watching for the fruits of our expo labours. Keep your eyes peeled for the gradual unfolding of the blossoms in the weeks to come.

Gone Fishing
Our next foray afield will be to the Western Canadian Image Makers Show in Richmond, B.C. This time we will be exhibiting, so please come out, introduce yourselves, and see what we have to offer. I think you’ll be amazed at what we have to show you. We’ll have products and info which will certainly help promote your business to the next level. Aside from that, we’d love the opportunity to put faces to all of the names on our list.

This is an amazing opportunity for landlubbers to visit the gorgeous West Coast. Of course, you’ll have to reserve a bit of extra time to actually see the coast - you won’t see it from the Best Western Richmond Hotel and Convention Centre, which is located conveniently near the airport, but it is nearby. I recommend visiting Steveston, a quaint, historic fishing village in the southwest corner of Richmond, only minutes from the hotel. While you’re there you can explore unique little shops and enjoy great fish and chips on the wharf.

Chocolate Pudding
My life is deliciously full these days. If only I could convince my body that it’s wonderful to have so much going on. It’s been one thing after another with no end in sight. While I’m loving it, I am feeling slightly tired. After spending some late nights preparing to leave for Las Vegas, and then arriving back home at 3:30 A.M., there was the sleepless weekend assisting at the arrival of my grandbaby. The next weekend I attended the phenomenal Women Gathering Event - 2 ½ days of fun and transformation, which I would highly recommend to my feminine readers. Sorry guys, you’ll have to find your own event.

In the meantime, I’ve been busy promoting another Kundalini Dance™ Workshop for my lovely and talented eldest daughter. Speaking of the West Coast, she hails from there. And while in town to lend support to her sister, the new mother, she’ll share her talents to enlighten, inspire, and motivate participants at another trance-formational event this coming weekend.

Trance-send
It was at her previous Edmonton workshop in January that Blair experienced miraculous healing of a knee injury that had been tormenting him for weeks. The purpose of Kundalini Dance™ is to balance the chakras - the 7 energy centres of the body/mind - by taking you out of your mind and into your body to promote higher consciousness. This may sound strange, but it obviously can work. Besides, it’s a lot of fun for those who love to dance. The best part - anyone can do it - no talent required!

I’m not only busy promoting this event, I’m also planning on participating. There goes another weekend! I can’t help it; I’m a dancing fool. I hope Kundalini Dance™ can cure fatigue! I’ll let you know.

I think after that I might have a couple of weekends free - Mother’s Day is coming up, and I plan to take advantage - before I head off to a 5-day seminar at the awesome Nakoda Lodge in Morley, AB. It will be another voyage of self-discovery (believe me, I’ve been on this one for more than half a century, maybe I can speed it up a bit!) There is the hope of actually feeling rested and refreshed afterward. When I return we’ll be hot on the trail of preparation for the Richmond show.
