KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Maryann Robertson of Rare*BNB

  What a great night!!!!  I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Maryann Robertson of Rare*BNB to talk about the "Filling Innisfil" initiative that she started in support of the Troy Scott Community Fridges in the Town of Innisfil.    


Maryann is hoping to host several events throughout the year to support the growing need of filling the Troy Scott Community Fridges.  These fridges have been set up by the Town of Innisfil to assist those in need all year round.  Individuals who struggle to put food on their tables can simply go to one of the fridges and take what they need.  Anyone who would like to donate to the fridges can contact the Town of Innisfil or join Maryann's Facebook group called "Filling Innisfil" to find out how to contribute.  


KIS would like to thank Maryann and her family for bringing awareness to this growing issue in the our community.   The struggles are real and the NEED is REAL, so join us and support the Troy Scott Community Fridges today!!

KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Joe DaSilva owner of The Portuguese Bake Shop and Chicken House

  It is always wonderful to speak with a business owner who takes the time to go out on the streets to help those in need.


Joe DaSilva and I spoke about the Portuguese Bake Shop and Chicken House that he owns and how he and his wife make and deliver food and clothing to individuals who are experiencing homelessness.


No one knows what circumstances cause anyone to end up on the streets, but thanks to business owners like Joe & Claudia and the volunteer group they partner with, these individuals can find a warm meal and clothing and/or sleeping bags to help keep them warm.  Shout out to The Highwaymen RC as well as Bowls and Blessings -Martin Luther Church Toronto for all the work they do to give back in their communities.

KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Trish Hawley, Cancer Survivor & Advocate for Facially Different Part 2

  Having interviewed this beautiful and strong young woman a few weeks ago, I realized that I would have to break the KIS video into 2 Parts in order to allow people to see both sides of her incredible story.  


Trish Hawley showed amazing strength while telling her story about surviving a rare form of nasal cancer after having her nose removed.  She was candid and raw about her feelings during her treatments and procedures.  I was in awe of how truly grateful she is to simply be alive.  Trish has inspired me to continue to find the good in every single experience in my life, no matter how challenging or painful it may be.  


Part 2 of this interview focuses on Trish's experience as a "Facially Different" individual.  She speaks about how proud she is to represent and advocate for those with Facial Differences.  Through the entire interview (both Part 1 & Part 2), I found myself being drawn into Trish's gratuitous  nature.  It was such a pleasure listening to her talk about how thankful she was for all the kind and caring people that she encountered throughout her journey.  


Trish is part of a new campaign to raise awareness for the "Facially Different" called "Beyond Your Face".  Her story can be found on the AboutFace website at www.AboutFace.ca  If you didn't have a chance to watch the Part 1 of our interview, please take the time to watch it before viewing Part 2.  Her story is absolutely inspiring and I know if will change your own outlook on life.  I am deeply thankful to have had the opportunity to meet and interview Trish.  I believe that her story can literally change the way you view each day.  


Stay happy, stay grateful and stay safe everyone!!  


As always, Thank you to Joao Carlos Silva and JCS Productions for creating and producing our KIS jingle. 

KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Trish Hawley, Cancer Survivor & Advocate for Facially Different Part 1

 PART 1 - Interview with Trish Hawley 

I feel honoured to have had the opportunity to interview this courageous, strong and beautiful woman. 


Trish Hawley is one of the toughest and most gracious women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and our interview touched me deeply.  I have never done a 2-Part interview before, but I found the need to separate Trish's cancer journey from her desire to advocate for those with "Facial Differences".


She is open and honest about her challenges and struggles after learning that she had a rare form of nasal cancer, which eventually resulted in the removal of her nose. 


In Part 1 we are discussing her experiences from detection to diagnosis to the removal of her nose, and finally how she is doing today.  Trish speaks about how truly grateful she is for the kindness and compassion shown to her from family, friends, co-workers and the medical team that has become like family. 


I admit that I struggled while editing this interview because I just recently learned that another strong young woman in my life is now going through many of the same fears and anxieties that Trish has endured.  Trish humbly claims that she has "borrowed" the strength of those who have been through similar experiences and have supported her until she could find her own inner strength.


It is my hope that this interview can help others reach out for support and find their own power to deal with whatever comes their way.  Trish is happy to be a resource for anyone needing that support.

I really do hope that everyone takes the time to watch the entire video because I honestly think that Trish's story can relate to many situations and people can gain so much from her positive outlook.

I am truly in awe of the positivity that Trish exhibits while dealing with the aftermath of cancer and advocating for individuals with "Facial Differences".  


I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to meet and interview such an inspiring young woman.


Stay tuned for Part 2 when we discuss Trish's desire to advocate for the "Facially Different" and how organizations like AboutFace have changed her life.


As always, Thank you to Joao Carlos Silva and JCS Production for creating and producing our KIS jingle.

KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Jack and Darren of Highwaymen RC, Sleeping Bag Drive

It is always Wonderful to sit down with bikers who want to give back and that's exactly what Jack, Darren and Highwaymen RC are doing this winter.  These bikers are collecting Sleeping Bags for individuals experiencing homelessness in Simcoe County and the GTA.   


This drive is going on from now until February 2022 and they would like to get as many sleeping bags out to those in need as soon as possible because the need is great and the weather is harsh.  


Please support these men by purchasing the warmest sleeping bag you can find or a gift card so that they can purchase one on your behalf.  Then all you have to do is reach out to Highwaymen RC. Jack Mint or Darren McGibbon on Facebook and they will take it from there.  


These men will be handing out the sleeping bags and giving their time and attention to the people who really need to feel like they matter in this world, those who often feel like they are invisible and forgotten.  


PLEASE show you love; GET INVOLVED and help these men help those in need this winter.  What you get back is far greater than what you have given and what you have given can save a life.

KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Erin Sanderson, South Simcoe Pet Food Bank

I had the wonderful pleasure of interviewing Erin Sanderson who is one of the many volunteers who make the South Simcoe Pet Food Bank possible.  We spoke about her many other volunteer efforts, including her work with Procyon Wildlife and the Pet Food Bank's connection with Ryan’s Hope, which is a charity that offers free breakfast for anyone who needs it in Barrie, Ontario. 


Each of these charities could truly benefit from volunteer help and donations in order to allow them to continue the great work that they do.  Please watch this interview to see how you can help!!


KIS - Kindness Is Sexy is always so grateful to Joao Carlos Silva and JCS Productions for creating and producing our KIS Jingle.

It was a great event at Gilford Haunted Mansion (Spirits of the Barn) where fear seekers got their "Spook" on for Halloween!!  It was only $2/person and a portion of all proceeds went to Innisfil "Christmas for Kids".    


The Dunsmoor family is celebrates halloween in a big way to give back to a local charity that has helped them in the past.  They look forward to seeing everyone come out every year in support of Christmas for Kids in Innisfil and they always ask anyone who would like to support the Innisfil Food Bank to bring non-perishable food items.

KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Bennie Dunsmoor and Gilford Haunted Mansion (Spirits of the Barn)

I had a great time interviewing Jennifer Richardson as we spoke about the 2nd Annual Halloween House Decorating Contest that she started last year to support two local charities and to celebrate her husband's birthday during COVID restrictions.   We spoke about who's going to be out decorating and the 2 charities that this event supports - the Innisfil Food Bank and Innisfil's Christmas for Kids (all year round).  The judging committee LOVES driving around and seeing all the awesome Halloween displays and they CAN'T wait for the competition!!

KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Megan Blades of "Loved Again Bridal Boutique"

It's always a pleasure to sit down with incredible local small business owners like Megan Blades of Loved Again Bridal Boutique, because she is the kind of person who gives back on a regular basis.  Her strong sense of community shines through every time she donates to members of her community.  


Megan's store is located in downtown Barrie and, like so many other small businesses, it has been hugely affected by the lockdowns and restrictions due to COVID.  Megan and I spoke about the struggles faced by local charities and small business owners during these harsh times.  Even donating to charities has been more difficult due to the strict restrictions put upon organizations, but we know that it is still so important to give what you can, if and when you can.  


Megan  is always willing to help local charities and those who may be facing challenges.  We talked about the importance of giving back to your community and shopping local to help keep small  businesses running.  Without local businesses, charities would be struggling even more than they already do.  


So PLEASE SHOP LOCAL and DONATE whenever you can!!


Thank You to Joao Carlos Silva and JCS Productions for creating and producing the KIS jingle 😁 

KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Zain Campbell (Alphabreff)

I truly feel honoured to have the chance to interview this awesome young musician from Orillia, Ontario.   Zain Campbell is incredibly inspirational for the youth in his town and the community in general.   He spends a lot of his time working with and encouraging youth at the Orillia Youth Center and donating his musical talents to help Barrie’s only youth shelter, Youth Haven Canada.  


Zain is such a genuine soul and he gets excited when he sees other artists and community members succeed in life.  He has a natural ability to draw people to him with his positive spirit and kindness to others.    I was impressed with this local artist from the moment I met him while I was organizing an event that I created during my time with Youth Haven.  


Zain donated his talents to Youth Haven's 1st Annual Prom Night a few years back and he was a true inspiration to all the youth in attendance.  Not only did Zain perform live on stage, but he took the time after his performance to interact with the youth while they danced and enjoyed the rest of the night. 


 Zain has achieved so much in his life and has found ways to deal with a medical diagnosis when he was young, called Tourette Syndrome.  He is proof that anyone can succeed in life while dealing with a life altering condition.  You just have to find your talent, work hard and keep a positive attitude.


As always, Huge Thank You to Joao Carlos Silva and JCS Productions for creating and producing the KIS jingle 😁

Other charities supported by Beyond Giving are Rainbows for All Children Canada and C.O.P.E. Service Dogs Simcoe County.


We also spoke about the importance of simply being kind to others and taking the time to experience and understand the different cultures in our communities.  You just never know how much fun you can have learning about traditions in other countries.

KIS - Animal Rescue with Deanne McCallum

  Rescuing Animals takes a lot of time, patience and research.  You have to be committed to find the right shelter or rescue centre to care for them properly, but sometimes it takes days or weeks to find the right place so you need to be prepared to care for the animal safely and properly until a permanent space comes available.  


Deanne McCallum has spent her whole life saving, caring for and finding proper sanctuaries for injured and abandoned animals.

KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Samsara Saints Riding Club and COPE Service Dogs

  I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Shawn Zerback of the Samsara Saints Riding Club and Dr. Liz Saul, Chair of the Board of COPE Service Dogs to discuss the incredible new initiative called Moto Synergy 2020 created by the Samara Saints RC to raise funds for this worthy cause.  #MOTOSYNERGY2020 was set to be the Largest Automotive Extravaganza EVER to be held in Simcoe County! 


It would have been, and may still be (in 2021), a truly Innovative Automotive Experience, fit for the whole family. At its heart, #MOTOSYNERGY2020 was to be a charitable initiative for COPE Service Dogs created by a group of innovative and iconic men called the Samsara Saints.  As with every person, business, organization or event, the introduction of Covid-19 made it impossible for #MOTOSYNERGY2020 to continue as planned. 


If #MOTOSYNERGY2020 is to continue at all, changes needed to be made.   Go to www.MOTOSYNERGY.com to register or sponsor this wonderful event.  Thank you to Shawn and Liz for taking the time to meet with me. Kindness Is Sexy and so are all those involved in this great event!!

KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Santa

  Many people who know me know that I have been dealing with concussion issues over the past few months, which caused me to have some challenges with regard to headaches, concentration and focus. I wasn't sure when I would get back to doing my videos and I have a couple of interviews from 2019 that I still have put together, but I wanted to start 2020 with this fun interview with Santa Claus.  


Santa spends each year visiting Nursing Homes to bring joy and gifts to Seniors thanks to a program called "Sponsor a Senior for Christmas". I think this is a great way to start the new year and a new decade!!  I would also like to encourage anyone who has time on their hands to visit a senior who doesn't have family or friends and needs company. Sometimes all it takes is 1 hour two or three times a week just to give them someone to talk to or someone to read a story to them. Please give the gift of you time to someone you feel could use it.  


Thank you Santa (Steve Madeley) for all that you do during the Christmas season and all year long!!  Thank you to Fernanda Silva and Nevia M. Da Silva for starting the "Sponsor a Senior for Christmas" program and for bring so much happiness to so many seniors.  


As always, a Huge Thank You to Joao Carlos Silva and JCS Productions for creating the KIS jingle and for helping Santa deliver gifts each year.

KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Steve Madeley, Longtime Local Volunteer

 For Canada Day we wanted to interview someone who always gives back to his community, so I chose to interview my husband Steve Madeley.  


Steve has been giving back his whole life and that’s what helps him through hard times and makes the good times even better.  After finding himself in the middle of the biggest struggle of his life he has chosen to push through it all by giving back even more than he normally does.  


That's the kind of person I interview ... those who give back without looking for anything in return.  Thank you for allowing me to interview you and for telling others why it’s important to give to those in need.  


Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦 weekend everyone... Be Safe and Give Back!!  


Big Thanks to Joao Carlos Silva and JCS Productions for the KIS Jingle.

KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Anne, owner of Bandanas & Bling by Gypsy Hugz

 Bikers often get a bad rap, but over the next couple of months I will be interviewing several bikers (male and female) who go above and beyond for others. Bikers like Anne, owner of Bandanas & Bling by Gypsy Hugz.  


Anne creates amazing bandanas and donates portions of the proceeds from many of her sales to incredible causes like "A Place Called Home" (homeless shelter), Camp Ooch (thru the Burrbilly Girls Weekend)), etc.  Thank you so much Anne for going out of your comfort zone and sitting down with me to talk about the kindness that you continue to show to those in need.


As always, thank you to Joao Carlos Silva of JCS Productions for creating and producing the KIS jingle.

KIS - Kindness Is Sexy with Cassydi Madeley "20th B-day Fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis"

 This has been the hardest interview for me to do. On April 15th our daughter celebrates her 20th Birthday without her long time friend who passed away due to complications from Cystic Fibrosis, so she has decided to Raise Funds for CF in her honour.  


Victoria Benner was one of "MY Girls" ... a precious soul who used to call me Momma #3 since she had so many of us who cared deeply for her.  Saying Goodbye to such a beautiful soul has made Cassydi want to do something to help those living with the condition and possibly assist in finding a cure.  Please watch this week's video and clink on this link below to DONATE to Cass's FB Fundraiser for CF. https://www.facebook.com/donate/995542210642533/  


Cassydi's - FB name is Casper Lynn  For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I've chosen this nonprofit because their mission means a lot to me, as we lost our angel Victoria to this beast in the past year and a half, and I hope you'll consider contributing as a way to celebrate her life with me. 


Every little bit will help me reach my goal. I've included information about Cystic Fibrosis Foundation below.  The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is committed to finding new therapies and ultimately a cure for CF.  Please invite your friends to become a fan of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation on Facebook, and help make “CF” stand for “Cure Found!”  


About CF: Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of approximately 30,000 children and adults in the United States.  More than 10 million Americans are unknowing, symptom-less carriers of a defective CF gene.
