Hello!
Years ago, a co-worker took at peek at the book I was reading during my lunch-break and asked what I thought of it. “It’s good,” I replied. “Of course, I’ve read it at least five times, so I already know it’s good.” I held up the copy of my book to show him how worn it was from the multiple readings.
“Why would you re-read it if you already know how it’s going to end?” He couldn’t understand any of the reasons I gave him and eventually I tried, “It’s the same as watching a movie you love over and over again.” He replied with a blank stare.
I know I’m not the only one who likes to indulge in old favourites (perhaps many times over). So my question today is…
What book(s) do you re-read?
I’d love to hear your answers in the comments below after you check out the great list of job opportunities I have for you.
Have a wonderful day!

Hello!
It’s June 1st and summer feels like it’s already in full swing in my neighbourhood. I’ve been taking full advantage of the beautiful weather by enjoying long walks to get inspiration, reading at the park, and working at my desk with the windows wide open and the gorgeous breeze coming in. What about you?
How does your routine change in the summer?
Do your work habits change? Are there certain types of artistic practices you only do in the summer? Do you get involved with any events?
Let us know in the comments below after you check out the list of today’s opportunities.
Have a wonderful day!

Hello!
Yesterday was a looong day for me as the night before I went to bed at 1 a.m. then woke up at 5:40 a.m. Every day/night has pretty much been that way for the last few weeks as I try to balance everything I need to do while juggling a demanding (!) schedule.
Feeling the lack of sleep dragging at my body and fogging my mind, I asked over CAC, Twitter, and Facebook how our community keeps their (artistic) energy up.
Here are a few of their answers:
“Little naps during the day and night! And eating energy making foods and lots of water…” - Susan Weiss
“take stretch breaks, dance and….coffee helps too :)” - Dorothy Weiss
“Good music and awesome coffee – not crappy coffee, this is important! Good tasting coffee = good work” - Ben Purkiss
“I pace myself and I take short frequent and guilt free breaks to avoid burning out early.” - @sanleigh
“i can only write out at coffee shops. The tea and company keeps me going.” – laurie petrou (@lauriepetrou)
“I eat lots of nuts and make sure I have something good/new to listen to:)” – D’Andrea Bowie (@d_andreab)
“Healthy snacks, and drinking lots of water. Being busy with dance makes me very happy and grateful, so that helps the most!” – Nicole Rose Bond (@NicoleRoseBond)
“Going to the gym totally helps” - @NFBMediatheque
“Healthy food choices and hydration. Plus quality coffee…” – Kate U (@TOViolinKate)
“Gym and/or ride my horse. Mostly “or” (no time for both!).” - @wpgreview
“3 cups of tea before 10:00am” – Karina Bergmans, @KBergmans
The suggestions kept coming, with most including food, exercise, naps, music, and coffee. Lots of coffee. Good coffee. Confession: I don’t drink coffee. No wonder my mind is so foggy! lol!

Hello!
If you haven’t noticed, when we did the first step in our website upgrade, a nifty new feature at the top of the posts popped up that lets us see how many views they get. It doesn’t count any of the views that happened before the upgrade, but it’s been very cool to see how many of you have stopped by in the last few days.
If you’re coming for the job lists, here is the latest one below with another group of great opportunities.
Have a wonderful day!
