HeartSong Travel

06/11/2019

To all HeartSong Travel fans and followers: we are pulling the plug on this project. The "vision" is still sound but we lacked the funds, and the right vehicle (ways/means) to get Canadians involved. Time for us to move on. But to those who were following HeartSong (and contributing stories!) we appreciate your support. THANK YOU!

When I saw this statue of Emily Carr in Victoria, BC, I stopped dead in my tracks. As much as I like her paintings, I'm madly in love with her writing. "The Book of Small" makes me drool every time I read a passage. Unfortunately the angle in my photo isn't good enough to see her pet monkey, "Woo" on her shoulder. But look at the expression of her dog! Anyone know the dog's name? (Hint: starts with "B") Destination Greater Victoria Destination British Columbia

Love New Brunswick's covered bridges. If memory serves, there are 52! This one at Point Wolfe was the last one built. (1992). First one was constructed in 1900. How many have you visited? Any photos? Please share! New Brunswick / Nouveau-Brunswick

Cruisin' the Internet this morning for Canadian Trivia, I found this delightful list from the folks at radio station 105.5 KoolFM in Barrie, ON. As my husband's name is Barrie I decided to check it out. See how many you get right!

I wish every day started like this, but then I guess it wouldn't make it so special. This is Sandra Phinney and I having PHO at UFO...(pho at UFO...haha) just down the street from my place in Toronto.

Sandra came to visit from Nova Scotia for a few days to work on HeartSong Travel.

One night, I made my mom's Mac and cheese for a few friends and Sandra. My 'mother-in-common-law' and friends came over to meet her. They left the house feeling rejuvenated, inspired and different. That's the beauty of this person.

Do you know someone like this?

Where's Waldo? Aha! If you look closer, you won't find Waldo, but you WILL see Benoit Lalonde standing at the base of this waterfall. Incredible guy. He's documented over 700 waterfalls in Nova Scotia! I just did a Q&A with him for our bi-weekly newsletter which will show up in a few days. His photos will make you drool. I'll let everyone know when it's posted. By the way, just click on Email Signup (to your left) to get the bi weekly newsletter and the latest stories on our website!
