Remembrance Day - Why I Wear A Poppy

-
Remembrance Day,
It is a day where we celebrate Veterans who served Canada for their freedom. 

 I know it's hard celebrating it because you might have a loved one who's part of a family has been taken from the war. 

 or

 That person who is still alive today and fighting for our freedom as a country 

 and I want to say...

 Thank you. 

 Thank you for fighting many years to get our freedom.
Thank you for serving our country of Canada.
Thank you for protecting Canada. 

and I know it's a lot to ask for, but really, it's not. I wear a poppy every Remembrance day because, I want to thank and remember those who served Canada. 

 I do not like wars to be honest and I would like them to be stopped and called for more ceasefires. I believe that we can produce more peace, agreements, love, and togetherness. Wars are not the answer to solve our world's problems. 

 I know I'm just one person but if we work together, we can make the world a better place.

 So give while you can, to a local mall or anywhere and get a poppy. 
They really appreciate it and would be thankful for your donation behalf of all Canadians who served our country. 

By the way, check out this festival in Good Hope, Georgia, USA. http://www.goodhopepoppyfestival.com/

 Sincerely, 
Brian Lee




 P.S. Please attend your local Remembrance day ceremonies, pay tribute to those who lost their lives in a tragedy of those defeating and defeated. You can also learn how to create more love in this world, because that's what we need now. Also, get a poppy, it resembles our Veterans and the touching poem of Flanders fields.

2024

As 2024 draws to a close, I want to wish everyone love this Holiday Season.  This year, I had been hit with several rejections, failures, and breakable moments. Some of wish I'll share below.  I remember coming into this year with hopefulness, glee and the excitement for whats to come. The place I'll go, the people I'll meet and other things that excite me.  That wasn't the case this year. I took out a loan from a loaner company back in 2023, because I needed to pay off the expenses from that year; food, vacations, etc. I had this mindset of 'You only live once, live it while you're young'. That mentality cost me everything. I took out a personal loan thinking I'll pay it all back with the amount they'll give me.  After looking at my bank accounts, I realized I needed to do something about it.   Also, the anxiety of telling your parents and loved ones, confessing to this situation and releasing all the tension and scarcity is painful. Not realizing t...

Ella Clarens "The Come Up"

Ella Clarens is a great friend of mine who we used to work at Nordstrom in 2021.  Oddly enough, we met at different departments, she was working at a different department and I was working as a Holiday Village - creating custom-made Santa bags, selling ornaments, replenishing items, and don't get me started on how many gift wrappings we would need to do by December 24th. It was insane!  I met her because when my department wasn't busy, I usually talk with her about life, work, and her passions.  Picture from: Freddy from Ego Eros Studios Lately, I found out that she is also a musician who released a couple of songs, "ELLANATION", "BIRTHDAY PARTY", and in December 2021, "ICONIC".  Nowadays, she writes her own newsletter which talks about her music, life and her past as a reporter for the Calgary Herald. Also, she spotlights on different people from around Toronto, showcasing talent and interviewing people.  Sign up for her newsletter here:  https://...

First Electric Streetcar in Canada

On May 3rd, I wanted to check out this wonderful (and free!) Museum with a coffee shop nearby, and you would not believe where the first Canadian Electric Streetcar took place in.  Windsor, Ontario. Yes, Windsor, Ontario was the first-ever Electric streetcars that we 'in-use' in Canada. This was back in the mid-1800s, more specifically in 1886.  First Electric Streetcar in Canada Once the city decided to refurbish the vintage streetcars that were used, they coated in fresh paint, updated signs; hanging billboards that were used back in the 60's, and all signs and keep maintenance at bay. They were focusing on making it, not only keeping it looking like a nostalgic piece of work, they tried to innovate the streetcar.  They placed it on a track, with heavy equipment and careful delicacy to ensure the parts are kept in pace, they can reopen it in for all Windsorites (aka city of Windsor citizens) and the rest of the world to open. Me with the streetcar The background behind ...
