Your input can help shape the next steps in our fundraising efforts.

Everything I do is part of a process with purpose — from learning new skills and trying new ideas, to building systems and processes that can help improve and support many different community efforts. This has taken years of building step by step, learning as I go.

Now I am at the next stage: making final decisions for the sticker sets and fundraising options.

What are your thoughts? • Do you prefer the same image with different positive messages? • Different positive messages with the same subject? • Or a mix of both options?

Over the next few days, I would love to hear your thoughts as I work on the final website updates and prepare the next stage of Stickers With Purpose. Your feedback can help shape how these options are presented and what directions move forward.

Food for thought: many of the images used for the stickers can already be found in the Just Oshawa “Pics In Oshawa” section. The next stage will also include images from the “Those With Photographer’s Comments” collection and images already featured in “Images With Purpose” from the Inspiring Times sections. These same images will continue growing into new “Stickers With Purpose” fundraising options.

A lot is happening this week as another step forward is being taken with the Stickers With Purpose fundraising efforts.

From learning how to make my own stickers, to designing them, and now reaching the final step, actually producing the stickers and placing them onto products, it is all starting to come together.

This next stage is also opening the door to helping create candle labels for my wife’s new adventure into candle making, adding even more creativity and purpose to what we are building together. The first fundraising stickers are now being produced, and next comes the exciting part, marketing and promotions. Every sticker, every design, and every new idea is connected to something much bigger.

The provided link now includes the latest examples from the Inspiring Times section, specifically the growing Stickers With Purpose collection. Each image found on the website has been created from photos taken within our community through Just Oshawa’s Pics In Oshawa and is now being utilized across a growing list of creative options and fundraising efforts. There is so much more connected to every image than many realize, but that is part of the journey and discovery waiting for you as these projects continue to grow with purpose.

All of these efforts are helping raise awareness and support for Wellness Without Barriers Oshawa, an independent community effort focused on creating an indoor space for growing, learning, sharing, and exploring what is possible through real living examples for all.

Built with purpose. Built with love. Built for community.

Tomorrow may be my final test phase for the new sticker procedures and the creative process I’ve been building around the images I’ve taken throughout Oshawa. 📸✨

These are more than stickers.

This is a deep dive into community support through creativity, positivity, and purpose.

Images taken in Oshawa by a photographer from Oshawa, combined with inspiring words, positive affirmations, and creative designs that help support something much bigger. The stickers are only the beginning. More fundraising items, awareness efforts, and community-focused projects are still to come as I continue building with purpose.

Beauty with purpose. Positive affirmations with purpose. Community support with purpose.

Every step forward helps build more awareness for the growing efforts connected to Just Oshawa, Pics In Oshawa, and the vision of creating Wellness Without Barriers Oshawa — a space built for learning, growing, wellness, creativity, and support for all in our community.

Supported by our community. Created within our community. Built to benefit our community and beyond.

More being done this morning, including these new additions to the Inspiring Times — Stickers With Purpose collection. 🌿🦋✨

I have also updated the Stickers With Purpose section to now include the new “You Are Enough” option alongside the growing collection of positive and meaningful designs. Each sticker is created with purpose using images I have taken within our community, combined with messages meant to inspire, encourage, and remind people that they matter. ❤️

Visit and discover more as this continues to grow. Hoping to begin production this weekend. Still a lot of work ahead, but it is all being built with purpose — and I am motivated for what is coming next.

Building Local Solutions With Purpose 💚

This is the foundation of what’s been building behind the scenes — and now it’s time to take the next step.

I’m shifting more of my time and energy into building partnerships with local small businesses. Through the Not Just A Food Program, we’ve already created meaningful connections and real support in our community — but this is only the beginning.

What’s coming next is bigger.

I’m now moving forward with a 14-step campaign model: Wagon With Purpose — Buy Local. Support Local. Lift Local. 🛒

This isn’t just about meeting a need — it’s about how we meet it.

Instead of defaulting to big corporations, we’re creating real opportunities to support local businesses, strengthen our community, and build lasting impact.

This is about: ✨ Creating local economic impact ✨ Supporting those ready to grow beyond dependency ✨ Building real solutions rooted in love and compassion

Yesterday was another step forward. 🌱

I didn’t just talk about growing — I showed it. I built two 15L recycled container systems and I’m working toward five more over the next few days. I’ll be heading out to find more food-grade containers and keep expanding. I also created a couple of 4L versions and shared the basics on my website so others can start too.

At the same time, I’ve started helping others grow — especially those who want to, but don’t have the space. There are always options. 💚

I stay active because there’s no greater joy than being of service to others. And service isn’t just for those most in need — many people don’t realize the barriers they face until they’re already there.

The reality is hitting harder every day… Food costs keep rising, and more people are starting to ask: “How can I afford fresh vegetables?”

Some turn to the idea of eating healthier after health issues — but then they see the prices and the reality sets in.

That’s why I’m not just talking about it — I’m growing. In real time. With real options. 🌿

My focus is simple: health and wellness for all. Not just for those with space, money, or access — but for everyone.

Because the hard truth is this: fresh, whole foods are becoming out of reach for more and more people. Even community spaces can have barriers.

So I’m working on solutions that remove those barriers — real options that help break the dependency we’re seeing in our systems.

There are options. They may not always be easy to find… but they do exist.

If you have any questions or want to get started, let’s connect. 🤝💚

And I’ll keep building, growing, and sharing them. 🌱
