  It is alreay nearly March, meaning that my wedding at the end of May is fast approaching!!  I am so extremely excited, mildly terrified and completely pumped  :)

  I have been doing a ton of thinking and all that lately, and I decided the other day that I may take a few months to temporarily close up my tea business and focus way more on fundraising.  This is, after all, my number one passion and priority!  So I think that this is a good move.  Plus, it should give me more time to focus on p...

    It feels incredibly hard to believe that it has already been more than six months since Christmas!!  But here we are, barrelling toward the middle of July already!  That means… technically only two and a bit months left of summer and the beautiful warm weather we have been having, Daylight Savings Time has already passed which means that the days are already getting shorter, and (gasp!) there are only ten-ish months left until my wedding date.  Wowzers.  Time really does fly sometimes.

  It's the end of November/beginning of September, meaning that my mom is having her annual Christmas/AVON/crafts/fundraising stuff open house again.  Everyone should come on out and check it out!  E-mail AVM_Foundation@hotmail.com or call 905-844-6554 for details like our address and such.

  The sale started last weekend and it's been going pretty great!  I love Christmas  :)

  This fall, before my 27th birthday hits at the end of November, I think that I very much want to have accomplished quite a fair bit more with my fundraising.  I started up an initiative called the Positive Graffiti Project, which I ran throughout the summer and it sort of culminated at the end of September at my old high school, with a massive amount of student participation and success  :)

  So now i am seriously considering taking my Positive Graffiti Project on the road and seeing who els...

  So I figured out not too long ago that it's usually best to just try and take life one day at a time... seriously!  Though this is something that I would have figured would be sort of obvious, I guess it just sort of wasn't. Things are changing though, and these changes are great!

  This week coming up is looking pretty exciting!  St.Thomas (my old high school) is holding pretty much a full day of Positive Graffiti-ing due to the fact that next week is Spirit Wekk.  Super exciting!  So I hav...

  WOW!  Life sort of got away from my for a while there.  Don't you just love it when things are all crazy-like?  Me, not so much!  But at least with the summer ending, I should hopefully be able to get some rest sooner or later.

  Needless to say, the walk-a-thon got postponed due to scheduling conflicts, for this year at least!  So we at the foundation headquarters have been trying to come up with new and exciting ways of raising funds and awareness for our cause.  We came up with the *Posit...

  So it looks like the AVM Research & Awareness Foundation (at The Hospital For Sick Children in Toronto, ON) has a new web presence!  We have traded in our old webpage (http://www.angelfire.com/stars4/touched_by_an_angel) for this new website, in favour of a more updated design and a slightly more professional look.  Just in time too... as it looks like the "Walk Cuz You Can" is going to be happening pretty soon!  This coming April 23rd (2011), join us at in Hamilton Bayfront area for a walk...
