  a) Drawing/ taking pictures of the art within - tombstones, landscaping, or otherwise. 
  b) Option to do some stone rubbings, if permissions are granted.
 2. DEADLY READINGS/ WRITINGS 
 Words can have powerful messages, this is meant to be therapeutic to our souls and theirs - Dead or Alive!
 a) The therapeutic aspect! Chat, read/ write, say your last good-byes, honour your dead, etc...
 b) Reading/ Writing your favourite/ writing poetry, stories, etc... in the cemetery.
 3. PHOTO SHOOTS/ VIDEO OPPORTUNITIES:

Kick Stress to the Curb (KSttC)

Hello,
It's as it sounds, Life can get hectic without much stress relief. It's time, are you ready?!

WHY 
To encourage community awareness and participation.
To take a break from Life's stresses, and aid where possible with ideas!
=

WHAT, WHERE, & WHEN 
Relatively "inexpensive" or free events within our local/ semi-local communities.

1. WINTER - Cold Nights Revival! End of January
Dark January @ Yuk Yuk's - Walper Hotel in Kitchener, Ontario.
+&+ 
2. SPRING - April Showers bring many kinds of flowers! 
a) April 30th - 1/2 way mark to Halloween. 
b) International Monster Day 
c) Options of Mom's/ Dad's Day
Celebrations include Spring/ Halloween activities, event attendances, "Le Challenge"s, or otherwise.
IDEAS:
* Create: themed arts & crafts, paint/ decorate them, & "glitterize"/ "Bedazzle".
* Do some Spring cleaning/ purging, or help others with theirs.
* Have a yard/ garage sale.
* Dress up and attend an International Monster Day event(s).
* Re-invent negative aspects/ perspectives into positives - there are lots that could use a positive spin. Ex. The negative attached to the letter K being used 3 times together – "KKK". I started an event called "KKK+": This encourages a much better meaning to be attached!
* Volunteer at events/ festivals.
+&+ 
3. SUMMER - Cabin Fever!
July & August - Top 3 Choices:
~ FREE SWIMS!
At family/ friends' places, local parks' splash pads, the beach, Tim Horton's Free Swims across Alberta & Ontario, etc...
~ FREE COMMUNITY EVENTS/ FESTIVALS!
Lots happen with warmer weather. Ex. Buskerfest.
~ CAMPING
In the woods/ "out back", at a family/ friend's place, party, & of course campsites! There are some great spots out there, if you look. (^&~)
