Coming out in the North Shore outlook tomorrow. Paris has a bike share program with 20 thousand bikes... but it's flat, the solution for North Van is the electric bike. Super cool technology on locking and unlocking with your cell phone and possibilities to host a bike share location. It's starting on the shore but it's going to grow... We also heard about the potential for small and medium businesses with the multi billion shipbuilding contract. It got the ideas flowing. Great way to start the morning with 20 other entrepreneurial business owners/operators.

Never had the opportunity? After being inspired by our fellow HOBN'er Allyson Butt of Revive Organize I decided to. This week we'll have Kathseva of the Self Realization Healing Meditation Centre sharing with us about the centre and balanced living. They are located on the sunshine Coast but have chapters around the world, australia, UK, US, New Zealand, why be limited to hopping over on the ferry? here's a link to the info on their retreats - you can create your own as well! http://www.selfrealizationcentrecanada.com/scheduled-personal-retreats/ Allyson plans to join us this week so will be great to see her.

  Thanks to Sally for taking down our beautiful HOBN Xmas tree

  Salley braved the rain and miserable weather conditions to "undecorate" our tree, most of the decorations and even our laminated logos survived the rain... thanks Sally really appreciate it.

I admit to having such a warm and fuzzy feeling this week about the power of many to come together and contribute their time, energy or expertise to create such a fantastic outcome. It took someone's idea, someone to purchase our tree and arrange the $ and seeking the decorating committee, the decorating committee to meet with us to plan and to share their decorations and ideas, the decorating committee along with two brave men to be on hand for "manly" tasks like getting the lights on the tree, someone to collect all logos and arrange to have them printed for the tree, our fantastic photographer to think to bring a tripod and take photos on our fieldtrip to view our decorated tree and a team of enthusiastic participants to make it all come together. Loved our spontaneous coffee date and am looking forward to see what opportunities 2013 brings to this great group of people.
