Do you ever lay awake at night after an unpleasant incident telling yourself you should have said this or that?
A few weeks ago I had a very unpleasant incident when a cashier at the supermarket felt the urge to describe to me that he had a sexual reaction that I was definitely not interested in. I was shocked, probably turned red, mumbled something and left the store as soon as I could. The following night I lay awake thinking about what I should have said, how I should have reacted to his disgusting behaviour.
Now Andreas and I went back to the store and found the same guy at the checkout again. So I steered to another checkout with a female cashier even if her line was longer. But Andreas didn't realize that that was the guy I wanted to avoid and put our vegetables on the guy's checkout faster than I could prevent it.
And surprisingly the guy made another sexual comment, an explicit request for sexual activity this time. I was flabbergasted. But this time my being awake and thinking things through paid off...!
I told that guy that this is not an appropriate behaviour and he shouldn't treat people like that. And I told him that with a controlled, firm and loud (!) voice.
I rarely ever talk loudly but in this situation it was a tool to get more people involved. I even put some more physical distance between him and myself while talking to him to get more awareness of the other costumers and cashiers around that he behaved very wrongly. And I did that quite successfully...
And guess who turned red and started to mumble this time...? He did! And guess who was in control of the situation this time? I was! The assignment of roles completely turned around.
I think he learned a valuable lesson that he had to be taught! And so did I.
I could have done better, should have demanded an apology from him for example, so I rated myself a 8 out of 10. And he definitely earned a 0!
Note to myself:
If ever someone makes nasty comments or harasses you again, remember, it is not your position to feel embarrassed, humiliated or less worthy - it is his or hers! It is your position to speak up, take a stand, be strong!
And I add a smiley to my note - just to cheer me on!

Remembrance Day...?
As a woman whose significant other is a veteran who was hurt by a grenade during his time in the military I say:
You want me to remember?
- Ok, let's remember that men and women are sent to fight in wars by politicians who failed to solve problems peacefully.
- Let's remember that men and women are sent to wars by politicians who lied about the reasons of wars.
- Let's remember all the civilian victims of wars, the children, women and men injured and killed.
- Let's remember that glorification of wars and war-”heroes”€ť makes it so easy to make future men and women - now your sons and daughters - get sent to wars to kill other sons and daughters and die themselves.
- Let's remember that wars sow the seed for future conflicts and other wars resulting in even more suffering.
Good. I remember.
And I also remember to celebrate that special day to honour all those women and men who work to make this world a more peaceful, more just and more liveable place for all of us and future generations - without killing anyone!
Wait, there is no special day to remember those yet...? No one walks around for weeks with a flower on their collars to remember themselves and their sons and daughters to strive for a peaceful future where people solve their conflicts in responsible and respectful ways, led by politicians who do the same?
Well, that says a lot about society and humankind, doesn't it?
Remember, you can't change the past but you can change the future!

Reading the latest local news...
So, yes, some humans try to spread fear and hatred amongst their fellow humans. The reasons for that are manifold.
Well, to be serious, what concerns me most reading the latest Canadian news and their responses is how willingly humans play along...!
That is the real danger: humans reacting out of fear and hatred.
If humans react as they were dictated by those who want to spread fear and hatred the distribution of power is clear.
So, please, let's try to keep calm and think with our own heads - so that we can react well-considered, impartial and for the right reasons, mindful and far-sighted.
As Mahatma Gandhi said “An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”
Please, don't become blind, world. There is a lot of hope to see!

Well, yes, I made a new yellow-striped friend – I think...
Just for the case you wondered who that “crazy lady with the yellow hat” was that performed the crane-hopping-backwards-on-one-leg-with-shakes-and-twitsts-dance at the Halifax harbour front the other day you guessed right, it was me again...
I've encountered a huge insect (after some research afterwards I found out it was a ginormous hornet) that sat on the board walk and seemed to be in distress. So I found a leaf to give it a ride to a comfortable flower-bed to recover.
To check if my new yellow-striped friend was as well-disposed towards me as I was towards him I very gently (!) touched it with my boot. Short story: It was not.
It buzzed loudly and leeched on me no matter how much I performed expressonistic dance to get it off my leg. From a different perspective, maybe it just kindly wanted to assist me in getting a thorough workout before it moved on - or it liked me and was a bit overly clingy.
I think I go with that one, I like that one much more...!

I made a new scaled friend!
Andreas and I found a snake that was about to cross a busy intersection. And since it had a life-expectancy of about 20 seconds on the street Andreas tried to shield it with a laptop bag from entering the street any further and I kept an eye on the cars to make sure they were safe. Well, because “Flauschi” (German kind of “Fluffy”, Andreas got the naming-rights) didn't know that electronic devices show you where to go and was determined to enter the street Andreas was brave, grabbed it and brought it back to safety. Uh! I was impressed!
Since I've seen very, very few wild snakes in my life so far I took the chance - before we released her at a safe place - to hold one for the first time! I thought you were supposed to hold it at the neck but Flauschi saw that differently. But she was fine with me holding her at the tail.
Actually Flauschi was much more relaxed than I was – probably she was more sure that I wouldn't bite, than I was that she wouldn't... She was very brave, and I thoroughly appreciated the experience!
She felt rubber-like and looked more beautiful than I ever expected!

Happy end...! :)
Yesterday Andreas and I walked along one of our favourite lakes when I spotted a seemingly empty boat floating around on it. We reached the spot where it finally landed at a beach and pulled it out of the water. I got pretty worried when we found a life-jacket and some personal things in it.
So Andreas stood behind at the beach to look for anyone in trouble - and I ran with my lunges popping out of my chest to find someone with a phone to notify police, fire-department and whatever needed.
Well, after everyone arrived at the beach and searched for some time the owner of the boat was luckily found and save and sound in another boat. I was extremely relieved!
I think he wasn't in any danger but the police thanked us unexpected intensely. A police car even honked with everyone inside smiling and waving at us when our ways crossed a little later.
So even if it looked a bit grim for a while it was a happy day at the end...! :)

There is something on my mind...
Friday evening at around 10 Andreas and I passed a young couple sitting in front of a coffee-shop holding a sign and asking for money. So I sat down to them and asked the girl how old she was because there is a shelter in Halifax for young homeless kids. She is 17. Seventeen.
So I suggested them to go the shelter - and she said she has been there and at the shelter have been people taking drugs and drinking alcohol and she didn't want to go there.
Whenever I see someone in a predicament it's my instinct to help – and there was nothing long-ranging I could do for that child. It ripped out my heart.
When I was home I did some research on homeless youth in Halifax and found a CBC report saying “Last winter, 285 kids ages 19 and under lived on streets.” 285 in this tiny city...?!
With seventeen you should go to school in the morning and get a hug from your parents before you go to sleep. The girl I talked to probably hasn't had both for a while.
What she had was the saddest voice I remember talking to.
And that seriously has to change!

One of those you think about which one of your body parts you want to get rid of first - the ears, nose, some of your tentacles...
I even had to put a band-aid on my favourite nose because it was sore... Have you ever wondered how it is to put a band-aid on your precious nose while having it running all the time? Wonder no more, as I said, very nasty... :)
So I'm very sorry for not answering a lot of messages or comments during the last time.

Peeple – Give a Friend!
Project announcement
|
|
|
Sometimes having a friend can change the world for someone who doesn't feel to have one. A friend to talk to, who listens, who doesn't criticize, someone who stands besides you no matter what, a compassionate loving gentle friend.
These people might be found in hospitals, orphanages, hospices, shelters for battered women, centres caring for bullying victims, suicide prevention centres and more places like these...
So what I want to do is giving a Peeple friend in plush to people who are in need of one.
You can be part of the project! And by supporting it you can show someone in need that there is a person out there who does care!
Please spread the word! Thank you!

I recently received one of the messages that really touch my heart. Someone wrote me that she was going through a rough time and my Peeple made her smile for the first time in a very, very long time.
That made me very happy because this is why I do what I do.
This is why Peeple symbolize tolerance, friendliness and love. No one is alone. Even if everyone around is different than you, looks different, thinks different - you are still lovable and loved!
I'm really working hard on spreading this message!
I want to to make people feel better, to overcome challenges, make them start dreaming big and then realizing that dreams.
That's all. :)

Andreas said it was moss but I know better...
Yes, it was friendly.

Yay! All winter long...
...I was a liiitle bit worried if “our” beavers are doing fine under all that ice...
So I am very enthusiastic to see that this lovely one is doing great!

Spring – seriously!
I want to take pictures of each little flower in the neighbourhood – neighbours are still fine with that so far...

Since I was a child...
... I love metal foil. Maybe because of chocolate (aluminium foil) or the NASA moon program (gold foil) or the magic tricks my mother made (magic-metal-foil)
So, I'm still playing with it:

One of my highlights...
...of the winter was meeting a very cool guy at the Halifax boardwalk.
First I thought he was yelling for someone to give him money - even if there was no one around. When and I got closer we realized he was was blind and yelling for someone to find his white cane! And still he was smiling sunshiny...! What a nasty place to get lost right next to the edge of the pier - without any fencing - and then losing your white cane...!
After we have found his white cane (ever tried to find a white cane in the snow...?!) and the rest of his belongings he was in an even better mood. I would have been so shaken...! And he even wanted to learn some German vocabularies. After a nice chat he marched of – right in direction of the wet abyss.
So I hopped in his way, linked his arm with me and brought him to a nearby coffee shop. And he was still happy! What a great attitude! I was so impressed!

After watching lots of videos about Banksy and Michelangelo..
...I got several ads for spray cans. I'm excited to see what will happen after watching Neanderthal videos...
Maybe:

Andreas and I are celebrating our 18th anniversary being snowed in by a blizzard today.
Because we went (yes, went) to the grocery at -28°C wind chill yesterday we can enjoy green tea and doughnuts while watching the snow flash by. It's so lovely...!

Lumberjack... me...?
Need to saw some pieces of background wood for some art projects and went to my second favourite hardware store. Asked a very cute gentleman shop assistant who looked like out-of-season Santa Claus where to find a hand saw and he asked me with an adorable smile if I would need it for lumber work or to cut down trees...
I loved that he seriously assumed tiny me would be able to cut down big trees with a hand saw!
The pictures popping up in my head of that process are pretty hilarious – maybe I should try it some day!
