There is beauty after every storm

I was setting up to sell cotton candy this weekend with one of my team mates for the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer 3 day 60 mile walk and the CIBC Breast Cancer walk. This little girl came up to me with her dad. She told me about her friend who is battling cancer. Then she told me how she wanted to help us and she gave me this decoration box that she made for our table for donations. It is beautiful Kira you have been spotted... you are very special selfless little girl who cares for others. Keep on caring and loving and giving for the rest of your life. It always comes back 10x more in the end. thank you for caring enough to make the decoration for us. It will be on ALL of our tables as we fund raise this summer!

My friend found a dog in the East end of Windsor, Wyndotte and Riverdale area just before the storm came through. It looks like a lab mix of some kind, brown fur.

Yesterday I was downtown for fireworks night, just like almost everyone else in the city. I was with my friend and my younger sister. As we were walking through the carnival we were approaching a lady who had her hands full and was sitting on the curb. It looked like she was holding some things for someone else. When she went to stand up she dropped her wallet.. As I was walking away I turned to look back to see if she grabbed it, she didn't, she was looking around as if she was looking for someone I thought she knew she dropped but she started walking away leaving the wallet on the ground. I quickly ran over and said "excuse me, I think you dropped your wallet" she looked at me and then looked at her hands and turned to grab it. She was so happy I saw it! She said thank you 10 times or more and as I was walking away I heard her yell "thank you so much" again. I felt really good to have made someone so happy! Later after fireworks I was walking home and I found a 5$ bill laying on the ground.. Nobody in sight. I am now 5$ richer and so much happier to see how happy I made that women! :)

It's yard and garage sale season, and I just want to caution the possible sellers and buyers against buying used car seats that have an unknown history.

It may seem like a good bargain at the time, but car seats are something that you really shouldn't go cheap on. There are strict guidelines for how to use and even sell or manufacture car seats, and with good reason. Please take care of your littles by ensuring that they're as safe as can be in your vehicles.

It's also illegal to sell expired seats or seats that do not conform to the current Health Canada standards, so please be mindful!

To the lady who gave my two girls a glow sword. Thank you. It made their day. It was very nice of you to share .
