My GMC Acadia Denali Adventure #ChevyDrive

by Tazim Damji

2014 GMC Acadia Denali

I love my car, but she doesn't get jealous when I drive other vehicles—so I took the opportunity to check out the new 2014 GMC Acadia Denali. I had a little #ChevyDrive adventure recently. It should be pretty obvious that a vehicle like the GMC Acadia Denali is family-friendly. There's room for 7 people in it! Of course, there are other types of families that don't necessarily have little ones that need to be put in to their car seats and strapped in. How about a group of ladies who want to ...

by Tazim Damji

What really appeals to me about Yuxweluptun's work is the use of bold colours, traditional Salish themes revamped and used to convey political messages. Of course, that's a really simplistic description of what his work is all about. ...

The Bully Project: My Testimonial

by Greg

  Thanks to The Bully Project for sponsoring my writing. Visit their website to join the movement and learn more. I want to take a moment to talk about bullying. There's a myth in our society about survival. It goes like this: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. It's true that sometimes in life we all have to learn things the hard way. And it's true that a few of the things that aren't always fun in our lives—lifting weights, eating kale, or struggling with math—are ...

Starting out with a fun and easy quiz to take an inventory of your daily exposure to dangerous chemicals, this book makes one take a look at the various areas of your life.
