Keeping It Real with Glenda Sheard

Thank you for listening to the Keeping it Real podcast #2024-54. In this episode, I'll discuss giving Google reviews for businesses/organizations, the feedback we give online or directly to businesses, the influence we have in giving our opinions, and how the feedback can positively or negatively impact a business or employee. Shoutouts to a neighbour and a few businesses who went way beyond the extra mile to help me this week.

Thank you very much for joining me for the Keeping it Real podcast #2024-50.

This episode is about the many types of 'friends' we can have throughout life's journey and how friendships can change over time or how true friends are there for us exactly when we need them, in both good and bad times. I'm extremely grateful to the friends who answered my question: What does 'my friend' mean to you? Their comments/feedback was invaluable and reassuring to me that I am on the right track when it comes to friendship and my values related to friendships.

The quote below puts friendship into perspective for me. How about you?

Respect

Trust

Love

Commitment

Thanks again for listening to the Keeping it Real podcast. Until the next time.

This episode is about celebrating Canada Day as we have since 1867 and how we are now starting to include and honour the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples. Many communities are reimagining Canada Day celebrations to recognize Indigenous Peoples, as the country continues to reckon with its legacy following the discovery of possible unmarked graves at former residential schools.

Many Canadians will be wearing the traditional colours of red and white and waving Canada Flags, whereas others will be wearing the colour orange as they are now seeing the national holiday as an opportunity for sombre reflection. Fellow Canadians are also invited to wear orange. and to take positive action as part of Truth and Reconciliation.

Beautiful Sunday - Daniel Boone

First Day of My Life - Melanie C

Reconciliation Sky - Donita Large

I don’t wanna lose you – Tina Turner

Eye of the Tiger – Survivor

To those who are celebrating July 1st, Happy Canada Day!
