imagine

Imagine - Manitoba’s First Rock & Roll Half Marathon in Niverville, Manitoba on Saturday, September 27th, 2008. This event is a non-competitive half marathon fundraiser organized in the loving memory of Joey Stott, an exceptional human being who left us far too soon!
The goal…to prevent suicide and defeat the negative social stigma surrounding the issue. Every dollar raised from last year’s event went directly to suicide awareness campaigns, research and education.
Here are just a few snapshots of some of the beautiful moments during the day.

Thank you to all of the event sponsors. You are a large part of the event's success.

creativity and education

I recently came across this video and was immediately inspired to share it. Get yourself some coffee and be prepared for 20 minutes of goodness.
It has everything to do with the roots of how people end up being creative humans...a lot having to do with the arts, which is the focus of this blog.
We would appreciate your feedback in the comment section.
