Social Change Through the Social Web: The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind
Today I’m biking over to Yonge Dundas Square (where I won a car last week!) to launch koodonation.com, an online hub that connects volunteers with non-profits through micro-volunteering.
There’s gonna be a fun ‘Wipeout’ style game for uni kids and I’m a judge with Jeremy Taggart of Our Lady Peace and Daniel Johnson from Stereos. The whole fun event is hosted by Sheena from MTV Live. We’re volunteering our time and Koodonation.com is making a $20,000 contribution to a charity of our choice.
My charity is the Moving Windmills Project which supports Malawian-run rural economic development and education projects in Malawi. Mum introduced me to William’s story and I wanted to get involved. Here’s his TED Talk so you can be inspired too.
For more info on micro-volunteering in Canada see Koodonation on Newswire here or check out the site at koodonation.com. If you’re around today come to YD Square & say HELLOOOOOO!
Toronto Fashion Week Begins w/ Greta SS 2012
Offsite shows during FW are my fav. Attended Greta Constantine SS 2012 last night. One thing I love about FW is seeing all the fashion faces together. Last night felt less snobby than usual. It was nice. Pix from Greta SS 2011 are in this post. You’ll recognize lots of peeps from that show/party.
I had come from a string of meetings & wasn’t really dressed for the ocassion: boots & scarf vintage, jacket Holts, bag Nella Bella, dress H&M.
This little one was my fav piece:
Shoes
Kirk & Stephen, so cute.
On Team Olympus blog babe Jay Strut wearing a monkey fur jacket. Yes, MONKEY!
Kirk & Gail
April <3
Kat & a babe from Elmer. So many cute model boys. J’adore.
I’m looking for someone to cover LGFW shows for me next week. If you are interested or already volunteering, LMK. Lots of meetings, events today. I’m gonna work harder than ever the next month so I REALLY enjoy my vacation. Have an awesome day!
catching waves & feeling the power of the ocean
Feeling like I have heaps on my plate. You know that feeling? Yeah. Good thing I enjoy making lists and checking things off. I’m going back & forth planning my trip to Costa Rica and haven’t event started to face the car situation. My coffee is cold. Insurance, licence plate, kinda overwhelming considering I’ve never had a car. I’d love to be outside right now. I should be getting in the shower, meeting in an hour. I spend so much time writing emails these days. Accounts receivable is a fun part of my job too. I hate math. I ate so much yesterday. I could use a visit to the gym. Wonder if I got mail today? Have a meeting this afternoon to get my first piece of MERCH. You gonna want it. Stoked. Tonight is the Greta SS 2012 show. Toronto Fashion Week starts Monday. THIS IS MY LIFE> oh my gaga.
When I get stressy I take a deep breath & think…I’ll be here this time next month 🙂
This is a good song:

i’m thankful today and every day thereafter
Happy Tuesday and welcome to a short week. Really good last couple days.
Thanksgiving yesterday was the best. I’d say the trail hike by the river was my fav part (besides the food!). Mum & Steve put on the hugest dinner and it was so nice to have a massive group of family & friends together. Us kids had a great time 🙂
Heaps planned this week. Action packed and lots of work on the go. Need to sort out my car details too. I can’t believe I won a car last week. CRAZY! Hope your day is off to a great start.
Remember, you’re younger today than you will be again, make the most of it!
have a slumber party, dress the same
now that’s a pool party
I love this weekend. Mum has about 20 people coming tomorrow and five of us are going to be part of it. Cleaned the house today. The sunshine is beautiful. We are so luck to have this warm, bright weather.
Slumber party tonight then home in early afternoon.
Quite excited to see all the sisters together. Must not forget camera. I’ve packed up heaps of goodies to take home. I especially love bringing Mum a few things 😉
Found this dream boat while I was cleaning up.
Cashed this at the coin machine today in Liberty Village Metro, ended up with $60. So convenient. I will only ever roll coins for fun from now on.
When I was cleaning up I found this old Globe & Mail article with my sister and I on the Society page. Was for the most epic pool party I’ve ever been to, Bridal Bash II.
We’re the “bikini clad blondes” who “commandeered a canoe” filled with vodka flasks who gave shots to the guests. Canoe was the best spot to see the concert, Burton Cummings & a girl from the Supreme’s.
Recognize any of these people? Prize if you can.
This track is the fav of the week on Bondi FM, my fav radio station in Australia. When I lived in Bondi and for the first few years after, I listened to it all the time. I go back & listen to remind myself of how happy feels.
