5 Reasons You Should Spend More Time in the Forest
On a sunny Saturday, where else do you go but the forest? That’s the consensus around here. If you’re going to live in British Columbia, you’re obliged to like the outdoors. There’s not much else here. Vancouver has its charms, but they only go so far. It’s what’s outside the city that makes it so appealing.

This is What Happens When You Disconnect
All I need is an Internet connection. Or at least, that would be all I needed if all I cared about was making money. I’ve been with my wife since before smartphones existed, so I’ve seen the world change as it has migrated online.

Let me Be' Kine
Since water is the driving force in Nature, the more I get older, the more I’m wanting to be more like her, water. I ask myself, how can I be a bit more fluid, bubbly, and dynamic in ALL my creative endeavors, educational outreach projects, and basically life itself… so I become like a wave moving across and through the waters. Haven't we all wanted that feeling of excitement in our lives, ocean waves waving? Or can we humans merely enjoy land (locked) living. Yet, alas... breathing and creating on the continents can be a blessing, if we are inspired to imagine, design, and actually do art. So, this is kin to being 'like a mermaid' version of land-living, exploring and forming art creations into activism, or riding the new movement wave of ARTIVISM!

Living in joy while loving Mother Earth
Arts, crafts and sewing have played an important role in my life since I was a little kid. I discovered my creativity through sewing when my mom taught me how to create hair scrunchies in the '90s and then I scaled up to make dolls and even clothes. My mom used to say that I was always challenging her when it came to creating certain outfits or dresses. I even designed and sewed my prom dress with the help of my mom. Because of this love and passion of mine, I thought I had to do something and I decided to study fashion design in Puerto Rico.

Saving the World with Scissors
I am going to save the world with just a pair of scissors. No matter how busy I am, my lifestyle intertwines with my hobbies. My actions will create a ripple effect in the community of people I am creating about urgent environmental topics. My happiness is anything that supports the idea of being sustainable, waste-free, vegan, and minimalistic. With the small daily lifestyle choices I have, I am able to be the change I want to see in the world. Being able to help millions of people and animals around the globe brings me joy. I am saving the world with scissors in not just one way, but three! Bottle bricking, upcycling clothes, and composting are hobbies that use scissors and greatly impact the way we treat the earth.
