In the midst of an amazing few weeks of shows, writing, and
reflection, I come to you inspired in a way I never thought I could be. I
was asked to perform at the campaign kickoff party for Don Iveson
(which was held this past Monday, the 23rd of September). Don Iveson is a
city council member who is running for Mayor of Edmonton. I met Don at a
fundraiser over the summer, and I was immediately excited about what
Edmonton is and could become because of the genuine love that man has
for the city I live in. His positive energy lit up the room, and I was
excited to learn more about his campaign. After doing some research, I
found that he was in support of many things I believed in. Now I am not
saying that everyone has to go out and vote for him, but I think it is
very important to research the people who will be representing the ideas
you may have to made your world (your city, your province, your
country) a better place. Who knows - maybe you'll find there are many
people who share those same ideas (that's CRAZY, isn't it???). Those ideas may encourage you in your own life. They may shock and surprise
you. They may even anger you. But hopefully, if anything, those ideas that you will learn about will inspire you create. I know it did for me.
Until next time there is an election I am excited for,
That girl who stays up too late and thinks too much.
