It appears that my St. Patrick's day message seemed to stir up a few new visitors that have decidedly left comments on my blog. They have been kind enough to instruct me in the art of blog posting - even though it appears that neither of them have one. I wish to thank them for their comments! (One can never get enough comments)

It's finally Friday, although I am still trying to expel this "bug" from my body. All I really know is that I don't want to spend the whole weekend moping around the house so I plan to skip my yoga class tonight and take it easy. It's payday today and I kind of feel like shopping but I will probably keep that to a minimum.

An amazing woman that I have had the honour of meeting is having a photo exhibition tonight entitled "Indigenous Colombia". It has been shown in many places around the world, including Colombia, South Africa, Geneva, Houston, New York and Panama. I feel inspirted to drop by to take a look. If you are interested, I found a few of her photos on a UN site.

Ms. Sanchez Espitia is originally from Colombia, South America and is living in Canada as a political refugee. When I met her, I was blown away by her vivacity and excitement about life. She is an internationally-known photojournalist and has an enormous social sensibility. I continue to be in awe of her story, and her drive to fight against discrimination. People like this are truly an inspiration!

I must go and see this and meet with her again. It really has been a while since I last saw her...
