Good day everyone….

I just wanted to take this opportunity to share some exciting news. I have been nominated for a Pillar Community Innovation Award (http://www.pillarnonprofit.ca/) for the program, Artistically Speaking Out Against Bullying (ASOAB).  I wanted to not only express my appreciation to those who’ve nominated me but also extend my sincerest thank you to the families who attended and my heartfelt thanks to those who continue to work hard with me at ASOAB;  Genevieve, Katharina, Chelsea, Angela, and Diana.

Also, Monday evening I joined Matthew Ninabar and his team from High Rise Studio (www.highrisestudio.ca) to film a short documentary on two families’ experience dealing with school bullying and how it was (or was not) handled.  As soon as this project is complete, it will be posted here on the website.

Starting next week I will be away for seven weeks. First I will be in San Luis Obispo California to ascertain my Soul Coaching accreditation under Denise Linn (www.deniselinn.com). From there, I am off to Spain on my Camino de Santiago de Compostella (www.caminoways.com). These skills will enhance the work I do with children, youth and their families at ASOAB and in my personal business.

ASOAB offers presentations, speaking engagements and workshops too.  As always, if you have any questions and/or concerns please feel free to leave a comment or email me at carleana@asoab.org.
