March Horoscopes

Aries (March 21 – April 19) Guardian Angel
Your guardian Fairies want you to know that you deserve help and attention. There is nothing you could think, say or do that will ostracize you from your divine helpers - they will never judge or abandon for any mistake you may have made. Know that you have support so that you can grow spiritually and help others.

I'd Rather Switch than Fight

There was a time, not so very long ago, that people only had one computer and it wasn't connected to any network. This wasn't back when I was in high school and had to outrun dinosaurs to get home for lunch. This was post-Star Wars. How times have changes in just two decades.

March Remark

This spring, fashion gets a burst of fresh air and a bouquet of jazzy colours. Ladies if you don’t have a bandeau bra yet pick yourself up a couple, because this spring’s tanks and shirts are so oversize you’ll need a bandeau bra every time you leave the house. Look forward to really comfortable fashion trends like leggings and tunic style tops, long tees and tanks, roomy rolled up shorts and super cute jumpers. Accessorize yourself in circle scarves, bangles, headbands and snazzy eco water bottles. Essential spring wardrobe pieces include bright cardies, flat slim sneeks, oversive tanks, bandeaus, denim leggings, and a colourful bag.

Cellphone Blues

As of January 1 it is no longer legal in BC to use a hand held cell phone or text while driving. While I concede that driving without due care and attention should be against the law, I'm sure that I'm not alone in wondering what options are available for using hands free technology to keep connected.

February Horoscope

Aries (March 21 – April 19) Love Life
The basis of your question involves your romantic life, which is now changing for the better. Loving yourself and your life is a way to bring healing energy to the situation. Connect with your soul mate or communicate with your partner about what is bothering you.

The Remark Valentine's Special

I'll have another.
I’m the portrait of a 21st century spinster. As Valentines Day looms I always find myself over a stereotypical martini sitting back and contemplating the current state of our small town dating scene and it’s always ugly, confusing and hilarious at times. Yet I always seem to find a glimmer of hope with every sip I take.

Health on the Net

Ah New Years. There are few days as laden with the burden and hope as the first day of a new year. The hope of course is the promise that this, this new year, this year could be better than last year. And thus is the burden created. The responsibility of carrying the promise of an entire better year. Well, let me tell you, it's more than most days could bear. And if you're the kind of person that puts stock in the idea of making a commitment, a promise, a resolution on this day, well that's where a little technology just might come in handy.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) Miracles
The Fairies are telling you to expect a miracle. Perhaps you feel that you need one right now because you can’t see any other way to a solution. Be open to allowing god to resolve your challenges in surprising ways. Miracles are occurring around you, begin to notice them and you will experience even more. As you relax into the source, blessings will surround you.

January Remark

Another holiday season has passed and many shiny new memories were born out of the annual Salvation Army fundraising gala. This year $7664 was raised. Ticket sales, bar proceeds, raffle tickets, all the Clubhouse staff’s tips, and a small handful of volunteers pulled off this success. Huge thanks to everyone who attended. Big ups to the volunteers. You can be sure next year will be even more enchanting.

Christmas List for the Traveling Geek

Well, it's time for the annual geek Christmas list again. This time around I'm writing the gift guide column sitting in an internet cafe in the city of Manado in northern Sulawesi. That's an island in Indonesia. Southeast Asia is ground zero for gadgets. We forget sometimes in Canada, under the influence of 24/7 media from south of the border, that North America isn't the centre of the world. Not even the centre of the tech world. The PC may have been invented in the USA, but it was built in Southeast Asia along with everything else.

December Horoscopes

The Fairies believe that every living thing should be taught the healing medicine of animals. For the Anniversary of the Fernie Fix the Fairies wanted you to get to know an animal that is within you. These provide insight and understanding of your true self. Please remember that you have more than just this animal within. Happy Anniversary!

Favourite Fix Moments

I have to say that my favourite Fix moment was the very first one that I picked up, which was the very first one that was published. It was filled with a sense of possibility and excitement—which is a real reflection of the town in which it was born. I don’t know if Krista and Vanessa knew that they were embarking on the adventure of a lifetime when they started out, but they must by now. At three years old, the Fix has started to form its very own personality, and it has been fun to watch it grow.
