Self-care. Take the time to take care of yourself.In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, often neglecting the most important person: yourself. Self-care is not a luxury; it’s a necessity for maintaining physical and mental health. In this blog post, we will explore the vital importance of taking the time to take care of yourself.

  1. Self-care starts with acknowledging your needs. It means recognizing when you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or drained. Instead of pushing through, pause and listen to your body and mind. Give yourself permission to rest and recharge.

  2. Incorporating self-care into your daily routine doesn’t have to be time-consuming. It can be as simple as taking a short walk in nature, practicing deep breathing exercises, or enjoying a warm bath. Find activities that resonate with you and make them a habit.

  3. Self-care isn’t selfish; it’s an act of self-love. When you prioritize your well-being, you become better equipped to handle life’s challenges and support others effectively. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

  4. Don’t wait for the perfect moment to start practicing self-care. Begin today, even with small steps. Over time, these small efforts will add up to significant improvements in your overall quality of life.

  5. Remember that self-care is an ongoing journey. Your needs may change, so be flexible and adaptable in your self-care practices. Listen to your inner voice and adjust as necessary.

In conclusion, taking the time to take care of yourself is not a luxury; it’s an essential part of a fulfilling and happy life. By incorporating self-care practices into your daily routine, you can enhance your physical and mental well-being, boost your resilience, and inspire others to do the same. Don’t wait—start your self-care journey today!

SculptureWalk – Maple Releaf People’s Choice Award in 2017

Leave a comment


Maple Releaf was the People’s Choice Award in 2017. This is a great honor to the artists who created Maple Releaf. It is now a part of Castlegar expanding collection of sculptures and other artworks displayed throughout the town. Maple Releaf is now on permanent display in Millenium Park. The following best describes Maple Releaf by the artists themselves.

“Above all else, Maple Releaf is a cooperative labour of love. It’s also majestic, a testament to the skill and talent residing locally. It speaks volumes to effort, creativity and dedication.

The four creators are good friends. Perepolkin and Macnicol are partners and stalwarts of the local arts community. Verigin and Wulowka displayed Enforcer of Truth last year, a cataclysm-suggestive wood sculpture on the force of nature that showcased their collaborative talents.

As Verigin puts it: “We’ve been friends for over 30 years and we all work exceedingly well together. We figured we’d raise the bar this year and incorporate new mediums working together. Chris and Mary are both amazing artists, so we needed something to display all our strengths. Pete came up with the general concept and we refined it from there.”

Creating Maple Releaf was a massive undertaking. There were weeks of working in sub-zero conditions when resolve sometimes wavered. “We pushed ourselves to the limit,” says Perepolkin. “There were some cold days doing exposed welding when I thought ‘Enough of this insanity!’ “

Wulowka agrees wholeheartedly. “This sculpture was a very demanding mistress, requiring hundreds of hours of labour in severe weather conditions. She nearly broke us but we persevered.”

Sculpturewalk viewers are the beneficiaries of that doggedness and skill under adverse conditions. Maple Releaf is striking. It’s big, bold, and resplendent. A curving wooden cedar tripod frame ten feet high supports a painstakingly fashioned (from 13 car hoods!), wonderfully painted metal roof in the form of an autumnal maple leaf. The detail and colour are astounding, all oranges, yellows, browns and touches of green amid the tracing of veins. A metal ladybug and butterfly are meticulously crafted and affixed to the leaf/roof, adding to the overall beauty.

A welcoming curved wooden bench (also in lovely cedar) sits in the centre, surrounded by an elegant panorama that Macnicol has created on the underside of the leaf. It captures the beauty of the West Kootenay landscape: forest and sky surround a tranquil lake and burbling creek rapids at the confluence, hawks wheeling above. It is lit at night, illuminating the beautiful lushness of the interior artwork and the mighty maple leaf exterior.

There is general agreement among them that they’ve “never done something on this scale” but ultimately it was well worth it. All the component parts of Maple Releaf meld together harmoniously. It is a warm, enveloping oasis that represents “the beauty of our great nation” by incorporating its iconic emblem as part of the larger whole.

A shout out/heartfelt expression of talented local ingenuity and creativity, Maple Releaf shines with the passion and pride of its collective creators. As Macnicol puts it simply, “It’s mind-blowing!” All agree, pleased to be able to display their spectacular work to fellow citizens and visitors alike.”

In today’s fast-paced world, many of us face a daily battle with low energy levels. Thankfully, there is a solution that taps into the powerhouse of our cells: mitochondria. Enter Bode, a cutting-edge product designed to supercharge your energy levels by targeting the mitochondria.

Mitochondria are often referred to as the “powerhouses” of our cells. They produce the energy required for cellular activities, ensuring our bodies function optimally. However, factors such as stress, poor diet, and aging can impair mitochondrial function, leaving us feeling depleted. Bode aims to reverse this decline and rejuvenate your energy levels.

How does Bode work? By leveraging a blend of scientifically backed ingredients, Bode supports mitochondrial health and function. It contains essential nutrients, including coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), and acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR), which are known to enhance mitochondrial activity and energy production. These ingredients work synergistically, providing a powerful boost to your energy levels.

One of the key benefits of Bode is its ability to combat oxidative stress. Mitochondrial dysfunction often leads to an increase in harmful free radicals, which can further impair energy production. Bode’s antioxidant properties help neutralize these free radicals, promoting a healthier mitochondrial environment and enhancing energy production.

Regular use of Bode can yield a multitude of benefits. Users have reported increased energy levels, improved mental clarity, and enhanced physical performance. With consistent use, Bode can help you break free from the shackles of fatigue and reclaim your vitality.

Incorporating Bode into your daily routine is simple. Just take the recommended dosage as directed, and let the potent blend of ingredients work their magic. However, it’s important to remember that Bode is a dietary supplement and should not replace a balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.
