Earlier this week, on the heels of Mental Health Awareness Month, our team had the privilege of hearing from two leaders in mental health care at St. Joseph's Health Care London, Jodi Younger and Dr. Viraj Mehta. They shared important insights on prioritizing our own mental health, offered coping strategies and provided valuable resources on where to find help, answering questions from our group along the way. This came about as a result of our incredible and long-lasting partnership with the St. Joseph's Health Care Foundation. They hosted the exclusive Clintar London event at the Finch Family Mental Health Care Building at Parkwood Institute. Our team appreciated the discussion – and the insights were well-received! While this was the first time that we have had the opportunity to do something like this – we certainly hope it will not be the last! Thank you to all those involved in making this happen! #mentalhealth

Fanshawe College Open Garden at the A.M. Mac Cuddy Gardens in Strathroy holds a special place in my heart. I remember bringing my 15 month old son in a baby carrier on my first open garden. Year after year there are pictures as he grew up being there for every yearly event. (He's now 10!) in 2017 I was thrilled to accept a position as the Technician of those gardens on a one year contract. in 2020 I accepted a part time teaching position. Today I volunteered my day to welcome hundreds of guests into this beautiful garden knowing they will be making their own memories in this space. Cuddy gardens, to quote a guest today, "is nothing short of magical, and if the gardens in heaven arent like this i don't want to go". I hope I will always have the opportunity to participate in this perennial favorite in the Horticultural community. #fanshawe #horticulture #volunteering #cuddygarden

May is Mental Health Awareness Month For all of us, there are some stretches of time where it feels like life is coming at you from all angles….it’s relentless and unwavering in its ability to test your resolve. There are tough days, weeks and sometimes months. I am true believer that life also comes at you in waves…sometimes just ripples, other times, a powerful storm. I’ve had a stormy week, as have many of you. In these times, we need to remind ourselves that there are brighter and calmer days ahead. At the beginning of the week, I had the good fortune of attending the St Joseph’s annual - Breakfast of Champions. Neil Pasricha spoke about his experiences and how he keeps a positive outlook in life despite its challenges. He has a good message and I wanted to pass it along to all of you to check out when you have a few spare moments. The first link below takes you to his blog. The second is nearly the same speech and message from the Breakfast of Champions. It’s a 17 minute video and I would encourage you all to make the time to watch it sometime soon. https://www.neil.blog/ https://lnkd.in/gsJ3c27M

Another memorable Breakfast of Champions in the books! Thanks to everyone who started your morning with us. Thanks also to our sponsors for making today’s event possible. Great to see so many friends and familiar faces at the reception hosted by Mercedes-Benz London.
