There are times in life where uncertainty and doubt seem to be more prevalent than others. Those moments where fear seems to take over, even though the rational mind knows it should be able to move beyond it. Learning to press through and to stand in confidence of life's promises, brings freedom to try again.
For it is in our trying and our willingness to put on the cloak of courage that we can take even the smallest steps in the midst of shadows. Be grateful for shadows as they are always accompanied by light and the light is where gratefulness and contentment lies.

THE CALL TO ACT
What does an inspired community look like?
These young adults know.
You see, when a mission is presented that speaks to the heart, you have no choice but to act. When the call to action makes sense and you have like minded people in your midst, it is so much easier to be a part of something that is bigger than yourself.
These young adults are being celebrated for taking initiative, bringing their energy and making a difference in their own unique way.
How can you take up the challenge to live and act more intentionally?
1. Find a reason to get involved or do something!
2. Instead of going it alone, look for people who show willingness to act. Together is better!
3. Go and do it. Actions always speak louder than words.

CELEBRATING THE HUMAN SPIRIT at Momondays!
It was one year ago this month that an awesome decision was made. To launch a new momondays location in London, Ontario. After living away from my hometown for over a decade and returning due to an illness in my family, I was craving a way to reconnect and make a difference in my community. That turned into a mission and I quickly realized that so many people are looking for their "fit". A way to know that they are valued and are wanted in their community. So, Producer Victoria Craig and myself set out to make that difference and WooHoo!!! What a year this has been.
So what is momondays?
Momondays is like an open mic night for professional speakers and interesting people like you and I with a great story and life lessons to share. Each show, the audience experiences five to six speakers who each share a 10-minute story. (no selling, no promoting, just
real, inspiring stories). Some are funny, some are thought provoking, and, of course, all motivating. Our crazy fun Half Time Game Show sponsored is always a hoot with hundreds of dollars of prizes to be won.
Having entertained over 4000 attendees to date, our vibrant community is all about building new connections, cultivating new business opportunities and just plain enjoying relaxed good fun.
On May 11th we celebrated our one year anniversary to 460 people. One year later, we proudly proclaim that we have become the region's largest attended monthly event and we also proudly hold the record for the largest audience in the momondays North American circuit.
If you haven't experienced a momondays, come on out. We would love to meet you. Many thanks to our Season Sponsors World Financial Group and London's Western Fair District, Half Time Show Sponsor, Studio H Artist Group, MT Printing Group, Pro MCDJ, MMC Productions, Paula Morand Enterprises and our fabulous momondays Production Team. Without these amazing people and companies we wouldn't have the amazing experience that we do.
The second Monday of every month, advance tickets are $12 pp or a Branded table of 8 for $100 plus applicable taxes.
(At the Door $20 pp cash only but we often sell out!)
Doors open at 5pm for the best seats, drinks, yummy buffet for an optional $14.99 and ultimate schmooze time before the show! Show starts at 7pm.
