Cheers to Inclusion Cafe!

Hello out there!

It has been a while since we have blogged and what better time to pick it up again than on location at the Owl for Inclusion Café! A big cheers to that, folks!

We had a nice and relaxing Reading Week break (Feb 17 - 21) but were excited to get back at it! The 25th was a huge day for all A!TLC Student Researchers.... Kennen had a big photo shoot session with her photography mentor, Brenda AND her incredibly talented sister, Tanys! The trio snapped some incredible shots and Kennen learned some valuable tips (like "the rule of three"!). Amazing work.

Tanys and Kennen perfect i-Phone
camera and remote - see below for the
photo they created!

Meanwhile, the rest of the A!TLC went to represent a the U of R's second annual Poetry Slam. What an experience! We were delighted to be invited, and to be in the presence of some truly remarkable poets. Kelsey really did us proud by reading a classic revenge love poem written by all of us in the A!TLC. She got lots of applause and a few laughs! Awesome. 

Wednesday was an extremely productive day of PATH work and marked the welcome return of the lovely Avery Ottenbreit. What a pleasure!!!! We were so happy to see you, Avery.
A lovely face that we have been missing this week has been Rebekah's...we have missed you!!!!! Rest up, stay cozy and feel better soon (kick that cold's butt!). And also, congratulations on becoming an auntie yet again. WOW! Congrats to all Lindenbachs, really!

Brenda is so pleased with her portrait by
'sister photographers' Kennen and Tanys

Today is yet another cold day but we are happy to be nice and warm and together at the Owl. Life is goooooood. Thanks for reading and take care. Next week will be major crunch time for our fundraiser happening NEXT Saturday night - March 8th. OMG  Super excited! (there are still a few tickets available if you are interested! check out our website http://www.beingastonished.com/)

This and that and this!

Hello out there!

Hope that everyone is keeping warm  (or doing their very best!)!
Lots to do with our to-do lists....lots of fun things! Rebekah is excited to have some Spanish lessons on her list - to learn at least four words/session with the lovely tutor Silvia (with some help from the wonderful Spanish speaking Gabi!). Kennen is busy searching for some photographic inspiration (and coming up with some great ideas!) and Kelsey and Kaitlyn have some major work to do with their Kin 120 presentation on February 13th. It will come together nicely, we are sure!

Today was filled with PATH work and also some epic tangents - ever wonder how everyone at the A!TLC got their name? We no longer have to! :)   And now that we are name experts, Adam and Brit, if you are looking for any suggestions, we are ready for ya!
We also learned that there is a yogabiebs classs offered in Toronto - Yes, this is yoga inspired by the soothing pop hits of Justin Beiber. Thanks, but no thanks. We will have to pass on this one!
This week is a bit of an Inclusion Cafe dry spell....we are caught between the fifth Thursday of January and the first Thursday of February....looking forward to some pub fun next Thursday, February 13th.


Thanks so much for reading and take care!
