A Bargain - All Things Considered!

Yesterday I had an easy day - and was looking to watch some grass court tennis from either London or Mallorca.  I switched on YSN and to my dismay - neither of the tournaments were aired on any of their 5 stations.  I checked to see whether they were offered on TSN+ - and sure enough they were!  I was mad - because there is nothing stopping the powers that be at Bell from showing these on their regular channels - other than greed.  I was motivated to send the following message to Mirko Bibic - the President and CEO of BCE.

Following sending the message I registered for TSN+ - at $9.20/mth.  This amount will not kill me and the pleasure I will receive from the programming is huge.  Yesterday and today I watched probably 8 hours of great tennis from London - an easy $10 value for me - especially when you consider a medium coffee is anywhere between $3 and $5 at most places except McDonalds - which has great coffee and a medium is only $1.45!

Along a similar line, I want to talk about Econofitness - what I see as an incredible value for what you get in their Platinum Membership.  We are paying $37.34/mth each for our membership - which includes access to massage chairs, hydromassage beds, tanning, unlimited showers, 24/7 access, access to all locations and ability to transfer our membership to anyone else at any time - provided only one person uses it at a time.  We are going about 15 times/mth - which equates to $2.50/visit - whereby we use the treadmills, the weights machines/circuit, the massage chairs, the hydromassage beds and the tanning.  10 minutes of tanning alone at a tanning salon is easily $5/visit!

The way I communicate my situation to people is by saying that I am on a continuous, upward and never-ending spiral through the infinite levels of Heaven on Earth.  Almost every day something happens in my life to elevate it.  Yesterday's occurence was getting TSN+ and being able to see great tennis all afternoon.  Today it was something smaller - I met a wonderful man named Mehdi - who works at Reparacell Plus - a CHATR Mobile outlet on Somerled - where we took Christy's phone to have him remove numerous viruses.  We had a great talk - about business, about cycling and about his neighbours - the family who own Express Indien - and the amazing job they do!

All my love,

Neighbours Doing Good (NDG)

Image
For those who read my column regularly - you know it is about finding Heaven right here on Earth.  My NDG Project is all about this!  It is about transforming our community - and all other communities across the world - into a collective of wonderful communities - where everyone can flourish. A couple of things I have done for NDG Project in the last few days include creating a music video for the Theme Song of NDG Project - Neighbours Doing Good (NDG) - an adaptation of John Jordan of NDG's song.  You can download the song from Apple Music .  I have also started a GoFundMe for The Depot in NDG - for a program they have called Resto Depot - which is much needed by the community. My vision for Resto Depot includes opening up the service to at least 6 and hopefully all 7 days of the week - with meals available between 10am and 3pm most days.  In addition - my goal is to have live music every day - between 12:30 and 2:30pm - performed by local artists who give o...

The Key to the Universe

My story is a long and amazing journey.  In January of 2004, as I lay comatose in a bed in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit of the Montreal General Hospital for 3 days - a reel played on continuous loop in my heart and mind.  It followed my entire life - from my most junior years - to a time which at that point I had not even experienced.  God gave the name of this journey - ' Come Away With Me.  The ongoing story of the life of Ross Harvey .' It is 20 years later and this name - and the journey have stayed ever-present in my heart and mind.  God told me that He would create a series of movies about my journey and would follow this by continuous live streamed episodes - as myself and a group of 300 'Pioneers' traveled across the worlds - seeking out new horizons. Please get my books; Come Away with Me and Rebel With A Cause - which together form the collective of my life's journey - my memoirs.   For the movies, God has told me that there will be no ...

A Confession - Of Sorts

Image
For those who read my blog posts - you know this blog is aimed at helping you find Heaven - here on Earth - in our everyday lives.  I'd like to share with you a story of my day today. River's Edge Community Church is a wonderful institution in NDG.  I had never been there physically - but have followed Lorenzo DellaForesta - the lead pastor's messages online quite often.  I love the way he presents his material - and the way the entire service is delivered - with wonderful, uplifting music by Lorenzo's wife Michelle and her twin sister Monica, along with a great band. I went to River's Edge for the service - but mainly to meet up with several friends afterwards - as they were having their monthly Community Brunch.  I thoroughly enjoyed the service and met several people from the community who I know - two of whom are helping out as volunteers!   When it was time for brunch - the people in charge had done an amazing job of establishing two identical setup...
