I just wanted to acknowledge an amazing group of young people who believe is social responsibility and commitment to helping others. Youth Education Farms is an amazing charity please go to the web site www.youtheducationfarms.com to see what it is all about!

Every once in a while you meet someone (or in this case two people) that have a really great idea or for that matter "mission"! When I met Dhana and Kelly the thing I was most impressed with was their sincere desire to connect with their own daughters while having fun and sharing the journey with other Moms and daughters!! That is how "Biagirl" was created.

Yesterday I spent the whole day down town with my kids. All we really did was wonder around but it was amazing! Too bad that we can not harvest the energy and mood of all the people because I am sure we could light most of the houses in Vancouver with it!! My kids had a ball and we met people from all over the world.

Last night I had the great honor of attending the Olympic Opening Ceremony!

There are any amazing number of ways to get in on the spirit of the Olympics in Vancouver that are absolutely FREE.

Not in the city proper, don't worry there is excitement beyond the bridges!

The Olympics are just around the corner and I was wondering how everbody feels about that? Are you excited? Annoyed? Is this a good thing ? A bad thing? What is the vibe amongst Mom's? Are you going to any events? What has the schools told your kids? Are your kids excited?

What does everyone think about Tiger Woods? An entire image based on being untouchable and an entire private life filled with just the opposite.

What would you do if you were his wife? What's that old saying, start a marriage for love and leave it for money or is it the other way around?

thank god I don't travel for work and have to be patted down or checked out by some airport employee who can now look right through my clothes with the full body scanners being installed. this is where fear takes us. less privacy. less human dignity. more fear.

Here in our corner of the world it is now against the law to be using your hands for driving and managing your technical gadgets - cellphones, ipods, computers, video cameras, tivo, etc. unless of course you can do it hands-free. The issue is one of distractibility. It's a fair law but I'm not so sure it's going to completely solve the problem.

Compassion in action.

That is what is being called for at the 2009 Peace Summit and WE Day held in Vancouver.
