The event is billed as a chance to “recharge and resent … [a] day long retreat packed full of inspiration and motivation to get you back on track.” For me, it’s about connecting and building community. These are some of Moncton’s most interesting, intriguing, and inspiring individuals … and they’re ready to bare their souls in front of all of us. That’s the type of courage that creates a strong community, and one that I want to feel deeply connected with.
I was recently asked to pick three of my favourite posts from Pickle Planet. I had a heck of a time deciding! I think I narrowed my list down to my Top 15. I’d love…
I’ve been thinking a lot about these parents as I watch them endlessly dropping off, picking up, delivering materials, helping their kids learn their parts, balancing work, school and home, promoting them like a well paid agent, and on and on and on.

This is a great beauty of introducing performing arts to children. It does not matter whether your child wants to sing, dance, act, tell jokes, play music, or juggle chainsaws. (Maybe don’t let your child juggle chainsaws.) It’s about seeing them being bold and confident, about giving them a place to put themselves in front of the world and feel good about it.
