Favourite Moments of Rugby World Cup Final
First Fav Moment: Hayley Westenra singing God Defend New Zealand. Hayley Westenra is one of my ALL-TIME favourite singers and to see her singing at the final, just awesome!
Second Fav Moment: France approaching New Zealand as they do the Haka. Ultimate intensity. I felt that it built up the seriousness of the moment, however France was fined for "breaching a cultural ritual protocol".

Tyler Ward - Rescue
I have been debating whether to share this in fear that it may cross some religious boundary. However, I have come to the conclusion that we are all spiritual in our own unique ways, and this music video, I find is very inspirational.

PowerSmart - "Two Chickens to Paralyze" - Without Electricity There Would Be No Internet
At BC Hydro it is currently "Power Smart Month". As such they have released some commercials related to what life would be like without power (in a sarcastic way). This commercial is by far one of my favourite commercials.
Visit here to see all of the commercials.

Stop Labeling Kids with Bogus 'Mental Disorders'
I came across this video and was very impressed by it. I have always been uncomfortable with how common mental disorders are being diagnosed. I sometimes feel that if all the aspects of an individual don't fit within the box that society creates, that those "appendages" labelled as an issue until it gets corrected within the proper realms of society. It's improper pruning of someones personality and traits. (Yes, I do understand that there are the "occasions" where there are chemical imbalances that influence the brain and medication is needed, but I am talking about labeling someone who is sad as extremely depressed, or a child who gets upset easily as bipolar)
Here is the video.

Happy Canada Day!!!
Happy Birthday Canada! This is the one day that happens every year where Canadians become very patriotic. I love it. We have a wonderful nation where we can live, play, work and grow together.
In celebration of Canada Day, I recommend you take this Canada Quiz from the National Post. The best Canada test I found among the papers I read/subscribe to (Which are many, I have a digital subscription to The Province, Edmonton Journal, StarPhoenix and the National Post all under one subscription, thanks Canada.com. But I also keep tabs on the Winnipeg Free Press, Toronto Star, Globe & Mail, New York Times, Deseret Morning News, and the Battleford's News Optimist among many other small market papers.... just to name a few). So when I say it is the best Canada Test I found, I mean it.
Also, to celebrate Canada Day, I have to share my favourite moment of someone singing O! Canada. It was during the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. Chandra Crawford had just won a gold medal in her event, and when it came time to raise the flags, she BELTED out the National Anthem. It is beautiful. I admire her for her work and passion, so much so that I tried to get my daughters name to have Chandra in it. But alas, it didn't happen. But watch this:

Elizabeth Smart Interview
I am sure all of us are familiar with the story of Elizabeth Smart, if not go see the movie.
I just think she is a remarkable woman, who is an exemplar of overcoming and moving on after a tragic life experience.
In a world that makes it so easy to play the role of victim, and maintain that role, she is truly making, or has made the shift from victim to survivor. If anyone in this world has a reason to "play" the victim card, she does. But she doesn't, and it is just inspiring.
This is an interview done by the Salt Lake Tribune. I admit, I have seen better recorded interviews at a high-school level. However, it is great to just hear her speak about her experience in France, her past, and what she is looking forward to.

Are You A Puppet?
A former popular pop singer in Finland, Jonna Pirinen, challenging the music industry, pretty much saying that the industry controls the performers life. How about we include the listener as well. Is the listener a puppet?

Lindsey Stirling: Spontaneous Me Music Video
Of course I have to show off Lindsey Stirling's latest music video. Especially since I love the principle of being spontaneous, or at least going with the flow, or as Sam Gladding calls it: Happenstance. Enjoy!
