Good!
We all want to be good.
Especially after the indulgences of December, waking up in pajamas -and if you were really lucky staying in them until long after supper- the Family Guy marathons or Battle Star Galactica sagas, the homemade cookies you kept buying for that fundraiser at the office, the long Skype chats with old friends with new babies, the colourful lights on people’s front lawns or their balconies or in their tiny windows… December is meant to slow you down, make you laugh more, re-connect, eat, celebrate, play Parcheesi with your parents and then January comes along, blows its whistle, whips off your pj’s and throws on some work clothes.
January means business.
And this week on Mouth2Mouth on CJSF 90.1fm, we’re talking about the business of being good.
Specifically...Tales of Good Vancouver (say this in a booming cartoon-god voice).
We’ll have full interviews with local goodies Loretta Cella from The Passion Foundation and Maughan Mariani from The Bavubuka Foundation and find out what they’re up to right now. (Empowering 100 young women in Uganada and Kenya and you can help them here: http://www.canadahelps.org/CharityProfilePage.aspx?CharityID=s98869).
Then we’ll feature a song from Jessi Nicholson (also say this in a booming cartoon-god voice, but one that sings so well your soul floats around in glee).
And lastly, we’ll play something so good from someone so good that I think he should be a new city representative and be paid to perform and summarize important political meetings, non-profit calls for help and organization and other cool goings on in V-town, er, Vancouver.
You’ll have to listen to find out.
But you can click right here to hear Jessi Nicholson’s dazzling song Freedom.
It’s just plain good.
