HAPPY JULY 1ST 2021

 

Hello hi,

Happy July 1st! We made it to the other half of the year! Na wa o, this year is really running fast; I remember vividly saying ‘Happy new year’ to people, almost feels like yesterday. In any case, I am really happy and thankful to be here.

I’ve been MIA (Missing in Action) for a while because I recently moved to a new place. It could have been a more stressful move but thanks to my amazing friends and neighbours who really helped me out; I’m so grateful and blessed. I still have not even finished unpacking because my back started aching from all the heavy lifting. And since then, I have had conferences and I’m trying to catch up with work but I have some nice videos to share with you on YouTube soon.

PS- this beautiful outfit was made by my friend, Olga. Hit me up if you would like her to make some for you.

 Today is also Canada day; sort of like Independence Day in Canada. Usually, there are lots of festivals and celebrations, with many colours of red and white. However, this year is going to be a relatively quiet one; not just because of the pandemic but also because of the recent discoveries of remains of children in residential schools. My heart breaks to think about how these children were forcefully taken from their homes and subjected to insane cruelty. It’s so sad that I don’t even want to write much about it, but you can search the internet to find out about the history of residential schools in Canada.

On a brighter note, Covid19 vaccines have been rolling out and seem effective; of course, we still need to stay careful and carry out safety measures, but it finally seems like there is light at the other tunnel. I have taken my first vaccine dose and will be taking the second one soon hopefully. How about you; have you been vaccinated?

For this month of July, I wish you an exciting summer filled with bright colours in your life. May this remaining half of the year be better for us all than the first half. Amen. Stay safe, remain masked up in enclosed spaces with people gathered, and let’s hope for a better future.
