My guest and business partner,  Liz and I  had a blast on this episode summarizing the impact we have had working together on this podcast. Our conversations are always a surprise to where they lead. Often AhHa moments results and this one is no different. The PAZ Talk card question Liz answers got her a little choked up when reality hit home by vocalizing her answer.  I invite you to reflect on this episode's question and write down the answer in a journal and give yourself some credit recognizing the ripple effect we all have on those closest to us. Oh and the joke Liz shared was so funny a must listen..

Enjoy my friends and do please reach out to me to communicate. I would love to know how this podcast fits into your life.

Chocolatier, Catherine ten Den and I have been living in the same community of Limoges for over 29 years and only met this past year!  In this fun episode we discover the magical talents this amazing lady has from Chocolatier for over 40 years to her 50 year crafting passion that fuelled Thomas Treasures. Catherine knows that success without community support can be a challenge. "Having a community is very, very important and it is comprised of several different aspects."  Being valued by community is what drives her father-in-law who is now 105!  WOW!  Let's enjoy wrapping up your week with Catherine's yummy joke.

Catherine's first love was working with fibres of all kinds. Anything she has done since has continued that love in some form or another.  In 1995 she produced a commissioned piece for the National Capital Commission, in commemoration of Dutch Princess Beatrix’ birth in Ottawa during the war.

Thomas Treasures has been in business for over 50 years and includes designing/dressmaking, fabric crafts (artisan bears, fabric art, etc.), miniatures, woodworking, felting, spinning, weaving, painting and a list just too long to go on. Website is thomastreasures.com

For the past few years she has been conducting classes in doll making, bear making, miniatures, sewing, designing and needlework. Classes are custom designed to suit the students, be it a group or an individual. Out of town clients often stay in the museum while attending the workshops.

Catherines's other business is Fine Chocolates by Catherine (Who doesn't love chocolate) which specializes in Belgian chocolate and anything that contains chocolate as well as a wide variety of baked items from bread to cake to whatever your imagination can come up with.  A thriving business for close to 50 years now.

In this episode we have fun talking about the importance of the 3rd C for Success…."Community".  Amylia has a big heart and loves to touch the hearts of strangers by offering compliments.  She shares how she loves to make new friends and particularly finds it easy when you simply offer a SMILE. Wise words shared by our next generation “Make sure you have a community and if not find one or make one.”

Amylia Prevost is my youngest daughter of 3 at age 18. She has been an Air Cadet making a difference in her community for several years now. She was dedicated to working at Tim Hortons throughout Covid because she loves being with and helping other people. Today she holds a position at Boston Pizza as a delivery driver and looks forward to moving into a waitress position in the near future. She has very strong work ethics and as a result she has developed great people skills. It is only natural that she is in studies for Community and Justice Services at Algonquin college to continue on the path of making a difference in the community.
