Once A Cast Member

This is the most personal of all my Walt Disney Animation Canada (WDAC) keepsakes: my cast member badge. Sure, anyone named Cindy has one. But what makes this special was that I wore it everyday for the four years I was there. I would have also taken the mouse-shaped door sign, but there was no way to hang that at home.

A Special Friendship - Anonymous Poem

I just do not know who wrote this poem, when I copied it into my notebook, but I like what it is saying.


A Special Friendship

At the heart of a special friendship is a willingness to share,
To listen and to understand, to show how much you care.

At the heart of a special friendship is a world of trust and giving,
An honesty, an openness, that adds true joy to living!

Guangzhou, China - Sculpture Park

In 2007, when I visited family in Guangzhou, we went to Sculpture Park. I was really impressed by all the different style of artwork. Along the way I came across a bronze statue, bearing a very good likeness of Whoopi Goldberg. I couldn't make out the text in Chinese to confirm if it was her. I could kick myself for not taking a picture at the time. Since this place is not a hot tourist spot among foreign visitors, I was wondering if anyone else has come across this piece in their travels.
