Remember You Are The Architect!
"Remember you are the architect of your life and future!"
This was the reminder by a Dr. Nedd here in Vancouver, BC during one of his television broadcasts about wellness recently . And it is true. Whatever has happened to you in the past remember that you alone are the architect of your future.

Protect Those Birds!
Take the time to put out feeders for migratory and resident backyard birds this winter and make your backyard more interesting and pleasant with visits from Blue Jay, Wood, sparrows and even hummingbirds.
According to the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. "By providing the right food and maintaining a clean feeding station, individuals can help birds at time when food is scarce.
The trick is to find a good location, preferably under the eve of your house where it is not easily accessible by squirrels or other rodents for the feeder or nectar feeder or the humming birds.
Woodpeckers and other seed eaters love fatty suet blocks that are simply placed in mesh cages and hung under those eves or locations that can be reached easily by birds but not those squirrels and other critters.

Do You Watch Marilyn! and Read BC Homes Magazine?
When was the last time you tuned in to the Marilyn Dennis Show on CTV? Possibly, with a lot of people, with so many people working one or more jobs nowdays, not as much as you normally would, but remember you can also follow the show on-line at CTV.ca
And it is not a bad idea to tune in once in a while if you're a homeowner but she does have a wealth of information (even for guys) about daily problems -- such as the interview she had last week with a home renovation expert.
He passed on a number of tips about how to select a reputable renovation company such as remembering to ask to speak to the latest customers the company worked for I believe, and also the need for you to keep control of the expenditures.
While the show is obviously designed mainly for a female audience many of the topics will interest both husband and wife.
It definitely wouldn't hurt to tune in once in a while.
Another good source of ideas on ways to protect your investment in your home is BC Homes magazine. The latest issue I saw had a very interesting piece on working with home inspectors and exactly what you can expect from their services if you are thinking of buying a new home.
This is a bi-monthly magazine but you can also contact an on-line version of the magazine.
The Web site editors have raised an important question for homeowners incudentally and that is: "Are B.C. homes built to withstand an earthquake such as the one which recently hit Japan?
You can find more information on this and other building and renvoation topics at www.bchomesmagazine.com

Want To Be Brave?
Who do you want to be like -- Captain Francesco Schetino, the disgraced Captain of the sinking Costa Concordia off the coast of Italy or the Italian Coast Guard Captain Gregaria De Falco who ordered the Costa Concordia Captain to return to his ship to aid passengers?
Simple eh?
But, if you would to be like Falco in a similar situations you had better watch your company according to psychology professor Sam Sommers of Tufts University.
He warns, "We may like to think that that we would play the part of the Good Samaritan in situations like this, but the reality may not be so simple.
"Our behaviours and attitudes change, depending on our surroundings and the company we keep."
Makes sense. Remember that old adage about, "Bird of a feather..."?
For more information on this topic and Sommers new book see the January 19, Globe and Mail and the article, "Hero or coward? It all depends on the situation" by Wency Leung
