    Join World Vision Canada’s Meaningful Gifts Twitter Party #MeaningfulGifts

    December 5, 2016 /

    How hard is it for you to come up with new gifts every year? Do you find gift giving a chore? Do you run out of time every single year like I do? Sometimes I think it’s a good thing that there is a cutoff date actually or I’d keep searching forever to find something just right for every single name on my list. This year skip the socks and ties and reach for the World Vision Canada gift catalogue. There are dozens of meaningful gifts there every holiday. In fact the World Vision Gift catalogue is my Go To resource for meaningful gifts every year. This year I have already purchased…

    April 22, 2016 /

    How often do you think about water? Do you wake up wondering where it will come from today? Do you worry about leaving your family to walk for miles to collect a bucket of water for all of you to use? Does your heart hurt thinking that your child will never be able to attend school if he or she has to walk to collect water for your family? Do you consider whether you will have enough water to cook dinner, wash hands, clean clothing, bathe? I didn’t think so. I rarely thought about water here, until World Vision Canada asked me to consider doing the World Vision Canada clean…

    Take The World Vision Canada Water Challenge #WorldVisionWater

    April 13, 2016 /

    All children should have the chance to grow up happy and healthy. Kids who do not have access to clean water don’t have that opportunity, which is part of the reason I am happy to take the World Vision Canada clean water challenge. A few weeks ago my family started the World Vision Canada water challenge. The goal was to get everyone here thinking about children and families around the world and the scarcity of clean water as a resource. It was also my intention to help my kids to see how many sources of clean water we have available to us here in our home. This wasn’t about guilt, but more about challenging…

    Last Minute Teacher Gifts #MeaningfulGifts

    December 11, 2015 /

    Who says last minute gifts and teacher presents can’t also be meaningful gifts? With World Vision Canada’s gift catalogue, last minute shoppers can still finish their shopping easily. Last year we gifted several items from the World Vision Canada holiday gift catalogue. We opted to give these impactful holiday gifts to friends and family members, and we found most of our teacher gifts there too. It’s a great solution to the question – what do I get for someone who doesn’t really need anything? Charitable gifts from the catalogue are straight from the heart and that matters more than ever this time of year. Here are five easy and fast…

    It’s no secret how much World Vision Canada means to me. I travelled many miles with several World Vision workers in 2014. I told many of those stories over the past year. We climbed a mountain by car, on roads that were not remotely stable, while goats looked on perched in trees. We tried not to look down for fear our legs would fail us at the end of the journey. The destination one day led us so far up a mountain just outside Bucaramanga that it seemed like we were standing on the top of the world, when suddenly a school revealed itself. The teacher there, once a sponsored child was now…

    The Most Meaningful Mothers Day Gifts #WorldVisionGifts

    April 27, 2015 /

    Mother’s Day is not a day I take lightly. I am a Mom because of a gift from someone brave and caring. Two different birth Moms gave us the gift of both of our girls. We are adoptive parents and might never have been parents without someone else’s sacrifice and brilliant gift. I am always mindful of that. My parenting experience started with a gift. The most precious gift of all. My own journey to parenthood very much reminds me of the power of the local and the global community. Each one of us depend ends on others for so many things. This year I am also very mindful of someone…

    Five Things I Learned Travelling in Colombia with World Vision Canada #TMMWVC #TravelTuesday

    March 10, 2015 /

    Some stories rattle around in my head longer than others. Some stories touch your heart immediately but they take time to express. I have a few more of those beautiful meaningful experiences from my time travelling in Colombia late last year. I spent close to a week travelling in Colombia with World Vision Canada in September 2014. The experience was life changing and motivating and moving and so very big. I have already told many of the stories of the Colombian children, the workers and the places we visited, but in the last few weeks I have been travelling back to Colombia in my mind. Asomiflor still needs to be…
