We all need to understand-there is no nations, we are all humans living on different continents and being divided through centuries by a third force.

We all are one, despite speaking different languages. We all have red blood, we all want love, peace, family. But there is a force on Earth, that tests our endurance, spreading hate and aggression between us. Some ancient books describe that force as demonic creatures luring in souls through temptation and lies.

Whether demonic creatures are real or metaphoric -that is not important.  What is truly important is that we need to finally pass the exam- arrive to Unity and Love amongst Humans.  Once we achieve Unity and Love amongst us- we Win, we become one with Absolute.

To maintain mental health and stability, we highly recommend listening to nature sounds and "Druid Peace Spell" by charming Elena Danaan.

Peaceful Freedom Convoy is an action against draconian mandates started January 22, 2022. Around 50,000 truckers are moving towards Ottawa, gathering supporters along the way. Canadian truckers are supported by US counterparts (about 10,000). Participants are not only truckers (the vax status isn't a dividing factor anymore), there are families whose ability to make honest living is detrimentally affected by medical tyranny and resulting economical collapse.
United Canadian people are going to arrive to Ottawa Jan 29, 2022 and going to stay there until  all mandates be rescinded. Way to go, true patriots!

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command*

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

УТВЕРЖДАЮ ПОРЯДОК БОЖИЙ НА ЗЕМЛЕ. Слава Богу, Слава Роду.Слава Богу, Слава Роду. Слава Богу, Слава Роду.
Я БЛАГОСЛАВЛЕННАЯ ДОЧЬ ТВОРЦА, НЕСУЩАЯ В СЕБЕ ЕГО ИСКРУ.
Я ПРИШЛА НА ЗЕМЛЮ УЧИТЬСЯ ПРОЯВЛЯТЬ ЛЮБОВЬ,
УЧИТЬСЯ РАЗЛИЧАТЬ ПРОЯВЛЕНИЯ ЛЮБВИ И НЕЛЮБВИ.
Я ПРИШЛА УЧИТЬСЯ ТВОРИТЬ ГАРМОНИЮ И ЛЮБОВЬ.
Я БЛАГОДАРЮ ОТЦА ВЫШНЕГО ЗА УРОКИ И ЗА ВОЗМОЖНОСТЬ
ВЫПУСТИТЬСЯ ИЗ ШКОЛЫ ЗЕМЛЯ С ОТЛИЧИЕМ.
Я ЕСМЬ ЛЮБОВЬ, ЛЮБЛЮ ВСЕМ СЕРДЕМ ВСЕ ЖИВЬЕ.
ДА ВОЦАРИТЬСЯ СВЕТ И ЛЮБОВЬ НА ЗЕМЛЕ.

​The Power of Solar Eclipses
A new moon occurs when the moon is not illuminated by the sun from our perspective on Earth, meaning it's not visible to us at all. And that dark, blank sky can function almost like a vision board on which you can envision and pin your hopes, dreams, and goals. Every month - and very rarely, twice a month - the new moon presents an opportunity to get clear on long-term intentions and projects.
During a solar eclipse, not only do you get a deep, black sky as a result of the moon's position, but the moon also casts a shadow on the sun. This creates even more of a "blank slate" on which you can project your long-term wishes. And because the sun will conjunct (aka pair up with) the moon during a solar eclipse — versus opposing it, as it does during a lunar eclipse — it brings your purpose, identity, and confidence (ruled by the sun) in sync with your emotions and intuition (overseen by the moon). This can make for a powerfully motivating moment in which you could feel deeply compelled to take initiative to change course and move in a whole new direction. 
New moons are often the jumping off point for a particular narrative in your life, and that's especially true for shakeup-bringing solar eclipses. Every eclipse is part of a series of eclipses happening in opposing signs, and each event in the series often serves as markers in a larger journey. You might begin to think about leaving a relationship, have a fight, separate, move, and end it for good, only to later realize all the twists and turns that eventually added up to a major life change occurred in tune with eclipses. Major themes for this eclipse : soaking up knowledge, sharing information, and checking your belief systems

MEP Christine Anderson, after emphasizing the importance of human rights, said: "Let me say this, I am not afraid of this virus. What I am afraid of is governments abusing this or any other «crisis» for that matter, to infringe on civil rights, to revoke them or to question freedom altogether."

Nelson is located on the shores of Kootenay Lake's West Arm, centrally located between Vancouver, B.C., Calgary, AB and Spokane, WA. Nelson has a growing population of 10,600; with Greater Nelson encompassing 18,000 and a trading area near 70,000 the duly-named Heritage City features a heritage downtown and 300-plus restored heritage homes, businesses and churches.
Nelson residents boast of the 50 restaurants and cafes, in fact more per capita than San Francisco, many with outdoor seasonal patios adding to that cosmopolitan feel.
You will feel the funky vibe and authenticity and entrepreneurial spirit following a quick stroll down historic Baker Street, a vibrant main street that is a true adventure in itself.
We encourage visiting The Vienna Café- it has a beautiful patio outside and inside dining area is combined with a book store. The food is home made, prepared fresh for you and it tastes amazing. They pay great attention to detail, making their own jams and using 100% natural vanilla for drinks.
We ordered Minerva Spatzle, Eggs Benny-Meat Lovers, Chai Tea and Nelson Fog. Everything was authentically delicious.

Another great place to visit in Nelson is The Outer Clove restaurant, specializing in modern European comfort food. We tried Hungarian Cabbage Rolls, Haluski,  Schnitzel, Perogies. Everything is home made and so delicious!
Just a quick warning about the Schnitzel size- it is large enough for three people. So good though!

Nelson has a beautiful park downtown -Nelson Rotary Park. This beautiful green space runs along Nelson’s waterfront. Located at the foot of the landmark orange bridge, its features include a long, sandy beach and change rooms, wide promenade, shade trees, an adventure playground, bocce and tennis courts, and boat launch. A full-service concession runs in summer. The city’s much-envied soccer fields and baseball diamond are located further along the waterfront.
The park is also the home of Nelson’s restored electric streetcar, which takes passengers along a portion of the waterfront during the summer months.

Ainsworth Hot Springs is located about 40 minutes drive from Nelson. It is open to public by reservation only from 10 AM to 5:30 PM and for hotel guest without limitations. The hot springs originate around the Cody Caves, above and to the east of the resort. The water flows down through fractures in the rock, increasing in temperature at a rate of 40°C per kilometer until it hits a lakeshore fault – a rock layer on a 45 ° angle. Hydraulic pressure forces the water up along the fault until it emerges at the resort. The water at Ainsworth Hot Springs offers a high mineral content, without the odor associated with some natural hot springs. 
The resort features nice rooms with bathrobes and all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay.

Above is the picture of  a waiting room -it was very nice to wait in a cool room, while outside was piping hot.

Travel restrictions are lifted within BC as of June 15, 2021 and people are deciding where to go for a vacation. Interprovincial and international recreational travel is still discouraged, so the most practical and accessible would be looking within our own province. 
One place really stands out amongst all the beautiful places in British Columbia and it is warmest city in Canada, Osoyoos aka Mexico of Canada.
Osoyoos, pronounced "O-sue-use", is a version of the Okanagan word "Sooyoos" meaning "the narrows of the lake" or "the place where two lakes come together. Here are some facts about Osoyoos:

1. Home to some of the warmest average temperatures in Canada - The average summertime temperature is around 28°C (82.4°F) and the average winter temperature is approximately 1.3°C (34.3°F) .
   
2. Osoyoos receives an average annual rainfall of less than 318 mm (12 inches) and 2039 hours of sunshine.
   
3. Osoyoos Lake is Canada's warmest fresh-water lake. In July and August, water temperatures average 24°C (75°F). The lake stretches over 19 kilometres (12 miles) of Canadian and United States territory; 14.7 kilometres (5.7 square miles) on the Canadian side.
   
4. Nk'Mip Cellars is the first aboriginal winery in North America (second in the world). Nk'Mip Cellars opened in September 2002, but the Osoyoos Indian Band have been growing grapes on their land since 1968, and their harvests were very much in demand by well known wineries.
   
5. Golf Courses in the South Okanagan are usually in use from February to late November and sometimes year-round.

Spirit Ridge resort is located on sacred traditional territory of Nk'Mip people, who care for  their land and live in piece with the environment. Nk'Mip people speak Nsyilxcən language and belong to Thompson Okanagan region.
Spirit Ridge is absolutely unique place to stay: it has Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre, Nk'Mip Cellars winery on it's territory, Desert Spa, two restaurants, Sonora Dunes Golf Course, Indian Grove riding stables. Spirit Ridge Resort offers uncompromised quality stay.

Rooms have nice finishing's, with state of the art design for durability and comfort. Linens are crispy white, bedding is super soft and comforting. Each suite has a kitchen area equipped with coffee machine, kettle, toaster, blender, full size fridge, cooking range, dishwasher, utensils, plates, cookware. Essentially, it could be a long-term residence for snow birds or short-term residence during the summer months. Some residences have a washer/dryer as well.

Living rooms have a fire-place, sofa and arm-chair, big screen TV. All rooms have their own balcony either with a view of the lake/rolling grape hills, golf course, street/pool area. Each balcony has a table with chairs and a BBQ.
Spirit Ridge resort has 2 outdoor heated pools: large main pool for family admittance and smaller adult only pool. Each swimming pool has a hot tub area as well. Towel service is at both pools. Steam room is closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, gym is open but limited occupancy and masks are mandatory.

One interesting fact worth to mention, as Spirit Ridge is located in a desert area, there are rattle snakes in the area. If you decide to go for a stroll between sagebrush bushes beware. We went through the Cultural Centre and down towards water, but did not see any rattle snakes.

We highly recommend to visit Nk'Mip Cultural Center to get a better understanding how people lived on this territory many years ago, their culture and values. 

If you like cheese and appreciate fresh farm produce, this place is a must for a visit. Once the pandemic is over, they will also offer an educational farm tour for kids and kids-alike.
Cheeses are made right here, from local cow milk and goat milk. You can see through the window cheese heads ripening in the production area and it is so cool! 

Fresh goat milk is sold here as well as hard and soft cheeses. You can ask to try a cheese before making a decision to buy it or not. Ladies working in the shop are very accommodating.

How Hot Springs are Created
Hot springs occur when the emergence of geothermal heated groundwater rises from the Earth's crust, meaning that water has seeped into the earth and has been heated by magma. Due to the earth’s pressure, water rises above the surface creating a “hot spring”. 
The picture below has an area of a spring segregated by rocks, although it is mixed with lake water, it is still warm.

Hot Springs Health Benefits
​The hot springs provide a natural cure for diseases and ailments due to the therapeutic use of the waters’ high mineral content, which is known to bring pain relief.  When submerged in the water, one’s hydrostatic pressure slowly rises and circulation and oxygen flow increase, which creates a strong heart! Primary minerals (calcium, sodium bicarbonate, sulfate, magnesium, iron, chloride, potassium, and zinc) and a handful of others are present in the water, averaging 1,300 parts per million of dissolved mineral solids, which is one of the highest concentrations of any mineral spring! When absorbed by one’s skin, the result is euphoric. 

A little bit about dining in Harrison Springs, we naturally tried quite a few places and positive experience will be mentioned under the Reviews Tab.
Here I wanted to mention "other" experiences: Morgan's restaurant looked so good from the outside, but each time we tried to eat there (breakfast, lunch, dinner) it was closed. So weird, because it did not look like it was closed indefinitely. Each time we passed by, we saw the closed doors, lights on and no people inside. Mysterious dining place-Bermuda Triangle of Harrison Lake.

Lakeview Restaurant- diner serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The service is horribly rude, food is mediocre (we had breakfast there and never returned).

Taco Rio - we were surprised by amount of coleslaw inside the meat burrito. Mexican muchacho and muchacha are not happy-they don't like coleslaw. Coleslaw salad pairs only with Fish and Chips and originates in England.
Taco Rio is a frivolous interpretation of Mexican cuisine with true Mexican Soda.
