  • Life is Like a Camera...

    Focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot. < Back Life is Like a Camera... Dec 28, 2023 Dre Erwin Focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot. What you focus on expands, so aim your lens towards the positivity you seek, and watch how it shapes the picture of your life. This metaphor compares life to using a camera. It suggests that in life, one should concentrate on what truly matters, cherish the positive moments, learn from the challenging ones (the negatives), and if circumstances don't go as planned, try again just like taking another shot with a camera. The phrase "What you focus on expands" implies that where you direct your attention or energy tends to grow or become more prominent in your life. Therefore, the advice is to focus on the positive aspects you desire because that focus influences and shapes the overall quality and direction of your life. Previous Next

  • Unveiling the Power of Vision Boards: Can They Shape Your Future?

    Can a Vision Board Really Affect Your Future? Exploring the Potential of Visualizing Dreams and Goals < Back Unveiling the Power of Vision Boards: Can They Shape Your Future? Aug 11, 2023 Jess Wilder Can a Vision Board Really Affect Your Future? Exploring the Potential of Visualizing Dreams and Goals Could a vision board be the key to manifesting your dreams and desires? People worldwide swear by this powerful tool, popularized by figures like Oprah Winfrey, to display and hopefully achieve specific life goals. It's rooted in the Law of Attraction, which posits that our thoughts and intentions have the potential to shape reality. We delve into the concept, exploring whether it's more than just a trend. Take Aliya Jo Ramey, for instance, a young dancer/actress who, in 2018, fell in love with Broadway. Her vision board included 'Broadway' at its core, surrounded by images of dancing, singing, exercise, and healthy eating. Aliya Jo's story illustrates how dreams can turn into reality through the power of visualization. But is there any science behind vision boards? The effectiveness of vision boards is still a subject of research, with mixed results. However, experts suggest that it's not just about pasting images; it's the belief in the vision that can make dreams a reality. Creating a vision board is a simple and affordable process, often involving poster boards, magazines, and inspirational words. The key is to place the completed vision board where you can see it daily, reinforcing your intent. Vision boards can serve various purposes, whether goal-oriented, theme-related, or intuitive. Ultimately, they aim to help individuals stay motivated and focused on their dreams. And, while the science may be inconclusive, the stories of individuals who've achieved their goals through vision boards continue to inspire. Host a vision board party to encourage friends to follow their dreams and ambitions. It can be a fun and creative way to envision a brighter future. As an interesting aside, hospitals in Saskatchewan are increasingly incorporating vision boards into their practices. These boards are becoming valuable tools for goal setting and healing in healthcare. To learn more about the concept of vision boards and how to create one for yourself, visit here your for in-depth insights and inspiration. Whether it's aiming for a career change, finding a new love interest, or improving self-esteem, vision boards are here to help you manifest your desires. Previous Next

  • Dazzling Northern Lights to Shine Brightest in Three Decades, Scientists Predict

    A surge in sunspot observations, a significant determinant of this celestial spectacle, has been noted since 2022. < Back Dazzling Northern Lights to Shine Brightest in Three Decades, Scientists Predict Oct 19, 2023 A surge in sunspot observations, a significant determinant of this celestial spectacle, has been noted since 2022. Anticipated to be the most intense in three decades, the northern lights are set to dazzle the night skies with unprecedented brilliance. Scientists are forecasting that if this trend continues, the forthcoming 18 months will usher in the most robust northern lights display seen in years. In the coming 18 months, the northern lights will grace our planet with more frequent and widespread appearances than they have in the past two decades, and the expectation extends even into the next ten years, according to experts interviewed by NBC News. The Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel, an international consortium of scientists backed by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), initially projected a year of sunspot activity below the average, with a peak of 110 to 115 sunspots. However, revised models from multiple scientific sources indicate that sunspots may surge as high as 235. This surge in solar activity is anticipated to be on a steady incline until the autumn of 2024, which is believed to be the prime period for witnessing the northern lights, as confirmed by Mark Miesch, a research scientist affiliated with the University of Colorado Boulder and NOAA. The aurora borealis, renowned as the northern lights, manifests as a natural luminous phenomenon in regions of high latitude, particularly those near the Earth's polar regions. These mesmerizing displays are most frequently observed in countries like Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Canada. Recent sightings of the northern lights extended as far south as Minnesota and Wisconsin. Mark Miesch noted that "when there's a significant disturbance in the magnetic field, there is a higher likelihood of witnessing auroras at lower latitudes." This development is poised to nearly double the chances of encountering the northern lights in the days to come. The northern lights phenomenon is generated by the interaction of charged solar particles with the Earth's magnetosphere, an area significantly influenced by the Earth's magnetic field. This collision results in the emission of energy in the form of luminous particles, forming the breathtaking visual spectacles avidly pursued by sky watchers. Learn more about it here. Previous Next

CBC captures their inspiring journeys, showcasing the profound impact of this innovative therapeutic approach on their mental well-being. How Photography Saved Lives in Pinehouse Lake, Saskatchewan Skylar Lariviere faced despair in the vast forests of northern Saskatchewan, contemplating ending her life. But she found hope and purpose through therapeutic photography, which transformed her perspective. She dropped her weapon, ran towards life, and sought help. In Pinehouse Lake, a community grappling with high youth suicide rates, the Pinehouse Photography Club, founded by primary care nurse Dre Erwin, emerged as a beacon of healing. Photography offered a creative outlet that not only captured the Northern Lights but also ignited a sense of wonder and purpose among its members. As they captured the beauty of Pinehouse through their lenses, they found solace and a way to cope with depression, addiction, and the challenges of remote living. This powerful transformation through therapeutic photography inspired others to follow suit. Teens like Louis Iron discovered the healing power of the camera, using it to navigate the darkness and find light in their lives. As Pinehouse's photography community blossomed, it became clear that this approach was more than a hobby—it was a lifeline. Photography became a bridge to self-esteem and self-worth, allowing these young individuals to communicate their feelings and experiences without words. As Pinehouse's story unfolded, the Pinehouse Photography Club received recognition and grants, setting up a studio space and inspiring similar initiatives nationwide. Today, Pinehouse's photographers continue to capture the beauty of the Northern Lights and their community. Their journey from darkness to light serves as a testament to the transformative power of photography and resilience in the face of adversity. This is the story of hope, healing, and belief—a story that reminds us all that, no matter how low we feel, we can always rise to the top. But the story doesn't end here. The Pinehouse Photography Club is on a mission to extend these opportunities to all Métis and First Nations youth, especially those in the northern and rural parts of the country. Their vision is to offer the same lifeline of creativity, healing, and hope to those who need it most, ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of a brighter future.

Engaging with our camera lenses prompts us to seek moments of beauty, allowing us to capture snippets of the world that resonate positively within us. In these moments of mindfulness, we pivot our attention toward the subtle wonders: the sunlight filtering through the canopy, the vibrant hues of flora, or the intricate details of the forest floor. It's a practice that transcends mere photography—it's a journey towards gratitude and appreciation. The law of attraction whispers that we attract what we focus on.
