A Candle of Light

Season's Greetings to One and All!
For the Festive Season of Light (be it Solstice, Hanukka, Christmas and more) in the Northern Hemisphere, after December 21, the shortest day and the longest night of the year, there will be 2 minutes more light... every day.

To celebrate, this year I have posted "A Candle of Light" as a sing-along video.
Wishing you all peace, comfort, joy and love over this Festive Season and throughout 2019.
With gratitude for all that is

One Seed for Earth Day at Hutton Elementary

Earth Day is fast approaching and a joy for me is to present with children in a school. This year I have been invited to Hutton Elementary School in Grand Forks, my home town, to present One Seed and talk with the children about growing a garden. Grades 1 and 2 are in for some fun. And it is hoped there will be some art to add to the One Seed Kids Art Gallery on the web site.

That's Monday, April 23, at 9:30 p.m.
"It took one seed to make a diff'rence!"
 

Gathering to remember Graeme David Willson



There will be a Gathering to remember Graeme David Willson

On Saturday, February 3, 2018 at 2 p.m.

at the Senior's Centre in Grand Forks City Park

Refreshments provided.

 

 

It was his last party. Alone in his trailer, 52-year-old Graeme David Willson succumbed to a fatal dose of fentanyl. He was found on December 1, 2017.

Graeme was the grandson of the late Katherine Berg of Grand Forks, and son of the late Sonia Willson. In 1995, with Graeme (who was self-taught and had a natural gift for design, decoration, and gourmet cooking) they purchased the derelict Victorian mansion overlooking the city and transformed it into Golden Heights Estate Inn and Restaurant (see photos below). It became a work of art, was the ‘in’ place to meet and eat, and was used to promote the City of Grand Forks. Tragically, through unfortunate timing and events beyond their control (as victims of embezzlement and legal misconduct), in 2002 Graeme and Sonia lost their total investment, valued at over $1 million.

While Graeme had moments of total despair, challenges with mental health, and an eventual opioid addiction, underneath he was a gentle soul. He had his good and bad moments. Many were hurt by his actions, many disliked him, while others loved him unconditionally. We can but ask, ‘What if…”

May your soul finally find peace, Graeme. May you be surrounded by love.

Donations in memory of Graeme may be made to Whispers of Hope.
