Terrorist Attack in London, Ontario

Hi everyone!

A hit and run terrorist attack leaving 4 Muslims dead and 1 in hospital. The whole globe is affected by this tragic event.

It was a violent day for London, Ontario on Monday, June 7, 2021. There was a family of 5 that were out for a walk. They weren't doing anything wrong when they got hit by a truck. Four family members ranging from 15 years old to 74 years old were all killed by the truck. Out of the family of 5, only the 9 year-old boy survived. The 9-year-old boy is being hospitalized with serious, but non life-threatening injuries. The police say this act of violence was intentional and was planned. It is believed that they were targeted because they were Muslim. I know I can't stay quiet about the terrorist attack that happened. I also know that this isn't right nor okay. People cannot stay quiet about this. That's why I'm speaking out about this hate crime. This kind of thing is never okay and we should not be staying quiet about it. If we use our voices to overpower the hate, we cannot and will not be silenced! Attacks like this worry a lot of people. Take me for example, now I'm so worried because of this terrorist attack. All I can think about is that it could've been me. Now I'm so worried that I could be targeted in a hate crime whether it may be just bullying or an act of violence. Luckily I live in Nova Scotia where the crime rate is low. This means that it's unlikely for something like this to happen to me, but it can still happen. Don't stay quiet about this kind of thing and remember, when we speak out about this, our voices will not be silenced!

A Day in the Life of A Busy Blogger

Hi everyone! The bright, warm sun is shining through the partially open window. It's a warm June day. The air smells of freshly cut grass. I feel the bright, warm sun on my face. I blink myself awake. I try to go back to sleep, but it's no use. I roll over to check the time, it's 8:15. I get out of bed and throw on some clothes. I picked up a washed blue button-up shirt with green cargo capris. It's my normal (and favorite) go-to look right now. I go into the bathroom to brush my teeth. By the time I'm done all that, it's already 8:35. I go in front of my laptop to post one of my pre-written blogs. I always write two posts per work week. That way I always have extras if I want to take a day or a few days off. After posting my blog, I got breakfast. I make myself two fried eggs with two pieces of buttered toast. I'm sitting on the couch eating my breakfast while I'm also planning for my vlog about organizing and decorating. Once I'm done with my break

Leap of Absence

Hi everyone! I will be taking a leap of absence for at least a week or two. I'm sorry about this late notice as I do post every Monday. I have been busy lately with this and something else I'm working on. If I end up not posting, it's because I need a break from posting and because I am currently working on something else. I'm trying to get two blog posts done per week, but I can only do one right now. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused! If you do have any concerns with this, please put them in the comment section down below and I'll try to answer them! ~ Georgia Webber
