    Hope Swinimer - Hope for Wildlife

    About 25 years ago, the injury, rehabilitation and release of an injured robin set in motion what would eventually become a beloved global television series and—one woman’s mission to reconnect humans to their natural world. I’m talking about the inimitable Hope Swinimer and the critters in the global television series Hope for Wildlife that have captured our hearts. Currently in it’s 10th season, the series documents the rehabilitation and release of thousands of injured or orphaned wild animals. A charitable organization, they are conducting their first-ever online 50/50 fundraiser. Today (May 6th) is the last day to participate and the winner takes home half of the funds raised! You can purchase tickets here: hoperaffle.ca. The winner will be announced May 9th. Currently the jackpot is $99,540! This is the second time I interview Hope and it’s truly an honor that she is able to carve out the time as she receives hundreds of emails a day and her rehabilitation and education centre runs seven days a week. Much gratitude to you Hope. Tune into the full interview by clicking on the link below. Here are some highlights:  Hope is a trailblazer in wildlife rehabilitation and is responsible for the first ever permit in Nova Scotia.  Did you know that you can live anywhere in Nova Scotia and still volunteer for Hope for Wildlife?  In 2019, Hope was recognized for her lifelong dedication with an Honorary Degree from Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, NS.  “Keep trying and never give up!” is a quote she lives by.  Even as a shy child Hope had a “…very deep connection to the natural world.”  Tune in to find out how they are operating during COVID-19.

    Ellie Black - Canadian Olympic Gymnast

    She is the first female gymnast from Nova Scotia to go to the Olympics. She’s been described as a “superstar in the world of gymnastics,” and “Canada’s top gymnast.” Of course I am talking about Ellie Black. After the 2016 Olympics in Rio she ranked 5th in the world and became the most decorated Canadian female gymnast after the 2019 Pan Am Games in Lima, Peru. Then she seriously injured her ankle. I sat down with her (virtually) and had an inspiring conversation. She is a strong and powerful athlete physically-that is obvious but what struck me most is how mentally tough and confident she is. Like all of us she is adapting to the new COVID-19 reality but it hasn’t stopped her training, it’s altered it. She is also still recovering from ankle surgery. She was set to compete at the 2020 summer Olympic Games in Tokyo but that’s been postponed. None of this has shaken her resolve and her ability to adapt, stay focused and recognize the positives will inspire you. Thank you Ellie. Here’s to Olympic gold in 2021! Golden nuggets: She says that passion for what you do is the number one attribute you need to possess in order to achieve your dreams. Tune in to find out what accomplishment Ellie is most proud of, it’s probably not what you think. “The end result you can’t control. Focus on the steps to get you to the end result.” Yup, even elite athletes will indulge in junk food occasionally. Good to know they’re human too! Find out how COVID-19 has impacted athletes and their training and how they’re getting around it.

    What are you most grateful for? That is the question that award-winning journalist and author Janice Landry poses in her latest book, Silver Linings: Stories of Gratitude, Resiliency and Growth through Adversity. 15 inspiring Canadians across five provinces tell their personal stories of gratitude through tragedy, pain, loss, and trauma. Two highly distinguished guests from the United States including the leading world expert on the study of gratitude also answer this question. All of their answers will surprise and inspire you. I’ve long admired Janice for her impassioned reporting as a television journalist and her advocacy work on behalf of our first responders. I am grateful for this conversation. Janice is gracious, talented, insightful and so very positive and supportive. Thank you Janice. 🙏🏼 At the end of the interview you will be asking yourself, “What am I grateful for?” Golden Nuggets from Interview: •One of Janice’s beloved mentors once asked her two rhetorical questions: “What are you afraid of?“ and “What are you waiting for?” She realized she had to face her fears and she did. She’s now published 5 books. •No matter what age you are “you have value in society and you can add to it and help other people.” •”When you’re a creative person...putting yourself out there is absolutely terrifying.” •Find out why her late father, veteran Halifax fire fighter Basil “Baz” Landry is a true Canadian hero. ❤️ •She lost her beloved mother Theresa Landry while writing Silver Linings, her inspiration for the book.
