Motivation, dreams and kicking ass; our interview with Patricia Tomasi by Amber (@amberzcorner) @kickAssDreams

I have always wondered about what motivates people to give. It is one thing to give what you don’t need, but it is something completely different when you part ways with your hard earned money. Worthy causes that touch us personally often can get us to give back. Now take a moment, and imagine if you were on a tight budget and had just quit your job… would you still part with your money for a good cause?

That is exactly what Patricia Tomasi from Kick Ass Dreams did. Here is Patricia’s astounding story of self-discovery, and how she still manages to share her limited wealth with others.

Oh Diamonius, Where were you 13 years ago??? by Amber (@amberzcorner) @diamonius #Synthetic #diamonds

Oh Diamonius, Where were you 13 years ago???

Diamonds. A love story is incomplete without them. Let me tell you why. When we were kids, we dreamt of adventure, beauty, and experiences beyond our wildest imaginations. Some of those dreams were about Mr.Right and ever lasting love. When you dreamt of Mr. Right, it goes without saying that a nice hunky diamond came with him, because nothing embodied forever like a diamond. Right? Not so much.

Motherhood Before and After Facebook by Amber @amberzcorner @ptpa #blogaholics #moms #facebook

I wonder what I did before social media?

So here’s my first Blogaholics post. I am a mom of 3 kids. My first two kids were born 11 months apart. Life was nothing short of entertaining. My kids were as energetic as my husband and I when we were children! Ninety percent of the time our sofa cushions were on the ground and our dining table chairs were turned upside down. It seemed like we were in a permanent state of playing camp. Being a young parent (I was 22) had its good day and it’s bad days.

Our #VineReview of the @FordCanada #Cmax by Amber and Shadi (@amberzcorner & @yourfate) #earthday

Happy Earth Day! How often does one get to effect the environment? Is it the little things we do or one major activity? Personally I believe it’s the little things we do everyday that will have the largest impact over time. That could be as small as picking up trash while walking down the street to investing into an environmentaly friendly vehicle.

Ford takes the winning shot with celebrity face-off – by Amber (@amberzcorner) #Ford #Habs #Quebec

Betrand Lessard – Ford Quebec General Manager

When you see that brands actively participate in charitable work, do you wonder why they do it? I had the opportunity to interview the General Manager of Ford Quebec – to ask him exactly that. What motivates a big brand like Ford to give back to their community? Ford is involved in social contributions on many levels; most notably is the Drive 4 UR School and Community. Ford is locally involved in Quebec’s Francofolies to encourage local artists to grow. Ford works with many local organizations to help spread the message of social good.

Happy learning via Sarah (@SarahKalim) #happiness #learning #exams #MarchMadness #balance

Right now, for me, the month of March is a lot like March Madness without the basketball or TV. I broke my TV but that’s a story for another time.

What I mean by March madness is, that I have 2 midterm exams every week till the end of March. Do you feel sorry for me? Because I felt sorry for myself.

Recently I decided that I didn’t want to feel stressed or burdened by the amount of studying I had to do. I dug deep down inside and discovered a few tactics to enjoy every second of my life as a student.

International Women’s Day; why you should care by Amber and Shadi (@amberzcorner & @yourfate) #IWD2013 #IWD

(photo credit earth sky.org)

I’ve been searching for inspiration to write this post for the past few weeks. I might’ve written the first paragraph about 10 – 15 times, and then erased it slowly by pressing backspace. So I decided to start at the beginning…well my beginning.

Growing up I was daddy’s litter girl. I played games with my brothers and was very very mischievous…but for my dad I could do no wrong. What I loved the most about my dad was how he treated the women in his life. He treated his mother with love and respect, his sisters like princesses and my mother like a queen. He always showed my mother love and affection privately and publicly. Growing up I believed and thought all men were as good as my father. Why would I think otherwise?

How #YOU, Coca Cola and WWF make the world a better place? via Shadi (@yourfate) #everyactionmatters @cocacola_ca @WWFCanada

I have a deep connection to commercials. Not just because I work in marketing…I remember commercials like I remember my favorite childhood songs. One that always had a soft spot for me was the Coca Cola Polar Bears. I remember sitting in front of the TV with my family and seeing the ad with the Polar Bears watching the northern lights. The family of bears grew and a little cute cub was joined the crew. So cute! Have you ever thought about how polar bears live? Coca Cola has taken the initiative to help improve their lives. I mean what else could they do…Polar Bears have a special place in their marketing history.

There are some really amazing campaigns right now that need our help. You can help Polar bears and the arctic environment without ever leaving the comfort of your bed! All you need is an internet connection, a cell phone, tablet or computer.
