Gabriola Island was a place I fell in love with after coming here and visiting while taking my mother and my nice for a west coast driving tour. We bought here a property and the more we came here, the less interest we had in staying in Edmonton.…

I'm still in Deadmantown teaching at NAIT though I recently tried to escape to Mount Royal College in Calgary. I had an interview with them but didn't get the job. I like the teaching part of the job but the political side has really…

The Spirit of Gabriola

My friend and I have just begun a project together in the form of a blog about the spirit of this wonderful island of Gabriola that we call home. It started as a simple idea and has caught the imagination of several people in less than the last 24 hours that we have been telling people about it. Here's the information we've sent out:

I'm offering free advertising of your business, or what you are looking for in a client/relationship. I don't know if this is ok with our 'work from home group' site, but here goes. I'm sure I'll find out one way or the other. Because, if we are looking for business and love living and working here in the Gulf Islands, and especially Gabriola, then I say "Why not?"

Put together a word text of no more than 350 work count and submit it to me. I'll approve or… Continue

Let's Schedule a Non-Virtual Get-Together

Would everyone like the idea of being able to meet in person sometime in the next couple of weeks? We could each get up and do a little 30-second intro about us and our biz, and perhaps talk generally about how we can market ourselves as a group.
Should we make it a potluck, a coffee thing, meet at a home, at Artworx, or..? Please sling out any thoughts or ideas you have by way of a comment here.

All occupations are welcome, part time, full time, artists, distance workers, telecommuters, and even those considering making the shift to working from home full time. It… Continue
