Due to very sad circumstances beyond our control our time and energy has been directed elsewhere… We thank you for your continued patience as we move through this time, and we hope to be back with our SGC family by the end of July… :)

Jeff and I with Tiffany the Pom…. Vermont August 2014

 

On May 24 2016 our family was changed forever. Our dearly beloved brother-in-law passed away suddenly on his way home (10 minutes away) from work due to a heart attack, .. Jeff was 53 years old.

Our family and especially his wife Michelle, are wading our way through the “journey of grief”…. it is a challenging journey.

Michelle is being so incredibly brave, she has been worried about how others are feeling, she doesn’t want anyone  to be sad… We cannot love her enough, she is amazing..

Lessons are everywhere, especially in the loss of a loved one:

  • Life is very, very short:
  • Being nice to each other isn’t a weakness, it’s the way we are meant to be:
  • Money can buy you happiness, but it’s your attitude that helps you to keep it:
  • Going to the doctor for check ups doesn’t mean your heart won’t give out without warning, don’t be lulled into a false sense of security, instead be aware of your body and the signals it gives you:
  • Do what makes you happy in life to the best of your ability:
  • Expect nothing, from anyone or anything, however, hope springs eternal ;):
  • Be responsible for yourself always: 
  • Everything is just so f—ing ridiculous:
  • “Don’t sweat the small stuff”
  • Each Day is a new day, it’s another chance to love, laugh and live well, each new day will never come again:

Nova Scotia leads with an environmental bill of rights. Help spread the word!

 

Hi :)
Last Thursday, Nova Scotia took a historic step toward greater environmental rights in Canada — and we couldn’t be prouder of our supporters in Nova Scotia.
A member of the Nova Scotia legislature introduced Bill 178 — an environmental bill of rights — which we hope will recognize the right of all Nova Scotians to clean air and water, safe food, a stable climate and a say in decisions that affect their health and well-being.
We want to see the bill become law, so let’s rally behind the thousands of supporters in Nova Scotia who have paved the way for this legislation to be introduced.
Help give our supporters in Nova Scotia the boost they need. Share this news with your friends on Facebook:
Nova Scotia environmental bill of rights

Nova Scotia’s proposed environmental bill of rights is evidence of the incredible groundswell of support for environmental rights, which has ignited a movement throughout the country.
But the hard work isn’t over yet.
Thursday’s exciting announcement in Nova Scotia comes on the heels of an Environmental Rights Act introduced in Manitoba in March. However, that legislation did not become law before the province’s April election.
That’s why it’s critical for us to come together to support Nova Scotia’s environmental bill of rights. Together, we can convince the government to enact strong legislation to protect the right to a healthy environment, and compel other provinces — and our federal government — to follow.
Thanks,

From our inbox to you from Rousseau`s Fine Furniture, Fashion Forward May 5 2016
Have you seen this month’s East of the City? We were so grateful to be featured for a 2 page spread!

“When temperatures rise, the urge to inject more colour into one’s life can become overwhelming. Vivid hues can be incorporated beautifully into the bedroom without being overpowering, evoking a sense of serenity while still being cheerful and distinctive. Our vision for this space was to achieve a sophisticated and feminine look, made fresh by the addition of modern accents. The ultra saturated wall is offset by cream painted wood pieces, white and silver contemporary artwork and the fresh dove grey background on the floral bedding. Using a wide spectrum of blue tones ranging from turquoise to slate provides depth and drama while maintaining a harmonious atmosphere. Tiny pops of citrine provide unexpected vibrancy and playfulness without taking away from the luxury of the look. Ultimately, we wanted this room to conjure a strong feeling of both happiness and tranquility, for restful nights and cheerful mornings.
