April 4, 2024 – On a night with the weather saying ‘it would be best to stay home’ you did the opposite. You came out to the Gatehouse experience of the premiere of 5 Steps Film on April 4, 2024 at Creeds and with your energy generated a beautiful evening -Thank You. You can now view the full documentary online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBe5jbzKreQ
In a world that seems to be fractured and fracturing more and more, it is people such as you, that continually provide ways that have the power to genuinely transform traumas into triumph.
It is your Intentional kindness that provides the space, the way for people to truly transform their lives-what a wondrous gift you are giving-truly magical.
Your presence last evening has a way of reaching people whom you may never ever meet, but because you support The Gatehouse, people will be able to walk up those 5 steps and reclaim their lives. And, in such a magical turn, their courage creates the way for others to engage in moving forward in powerful ways in their own unique journey.
As I was listening to the stories offered in the two films I was reminded of the statement:
“Stories are the reflection of the human soul. They remind us of our potential, of the driving possibilities of our existence.” S. Spencer
Everyone in those films-reflecting the power of the human soul. Not a bad event to partake in, on a cold, wet, windy, dark evening.
I am including a little poem that I saw reflected in all the stories on April 4. And I hope you might also want to share a poem on the global poetry movement website www.globalpoetrymovement.com.
Thank all of you for being on the planet. We look forward to seeing you at our next event, the 14th Annual Transforming Trauma Conference taking place on Wednesday, May 15th 9:30am to 4:00pm at Humber College – full details here.
