Crazy Larry live on location. Banff Tim Hortons March 2nd 12:00 noon tying balloons
In a lifetime of learning, while tying balloons where ever I go, knowing you never know who needs some cheer . . . it just hit my funny bone *again . . . THAT ~ I think I finally caught on.
My drinking of long long ago, was always ALL about me. No two ways around it. No reasoning hiding from that fact.
So I took to replacing that way, investing instead into doing something for others. Tying balloons became my way. After seeing an acquaintance friend in my hometown I asked him your not asking for money each time you hand out a balloon for our Canada Day are you ? ? He stated, a HAPPY its so easy, they just give you money!
I was repulsed to my MAX. !!!
I went back to the Coffee Shop, where i hang out, thought things over, and this thought came to me. I am, for the rest of my life , going to try to make a difference in everyone's life with an actions speaks louder than words way. MAKE balloons for FREE ALL my life! From now on !
Where - ever, I travel or go!
So I did!
I simply, take the money from drinking *(Long long long ago 26 yrs ago!) drinking back then here and there with friends, every where, and invest into others from this day that this happened forward.
Life (like my drinking) was always about me ITS NOT ! Its about helping one another the best way you can think of !
Today I talked to a few tourists, about my concept of nutrition and cancer and living and raising kids to try to raise them without eating little to no sugar which feeds cancer.
I am, sick and tired of hearing seeing my friends and good people die of Cancer. SHOOOT ! and DANG !!!!
Cancer (as I have come to realize through much research - being know as an OBLIGATORY METABOLIZER, meaning its sole purpose for living in other words its obligation is to metabolize any sugar it can find , I included this all at the same time while tying the balloons. I dabble on the subject, toss it in the spontaneous meeting with various people all the time.
I also, throw into the conversation: Stating now keep an open mind (Y)
What if? WHAT IF ? , we have gotten it ALL wrong ALL these years !!??
What IF - eh!?
WHAT if ??
What IF? we have been listening to; trusting too much those who have the responsibility with our lives !??
Like, leaders in ALL areas you can think of; so many different areas. * Many humans, who have sold their souls to just making as much money at someone else's expense - OURS !~ So many humans have place money on the very basics of life. AND our medical health system.
What if?
What IF?
We've gotten HAD it ALL wrong for ALL these years ! ??
I ASK.
Where ever I tie balloons then becomes a perfect scenario or moment In Time to share! *Perfect!
Everyone turns receptive from being happy quite quickly!
Everything is coming together today and has been from putting my nose to the grindstone research research research double-checking making lots of phone calls to scientists globally in Neuroscience Pathology Epigenetics that study detailed biology of what I've been studying with my nutrition certificate and studying neurology.
I got the chance to talk to a few parents some kids some tourist some hockey moms and dads and I think it sank in - after I tied these balloons I did a talk about making dreams come true.
After packing up and getting ready to go back to their hotel rooms they said You really need to announce at our hockey tournaments ya know !
I said, Toss it to the organizers. . . see what they say? ?
I'd be HAPPY to !!!
CRANKING the kids! Equals a NO brainer !
Hope you enjoy the video?
