From Alma Lightbody:
Dear Friends,
First of all I would like to invite you to my launch and book signing at Talisman’s on Pender Island, December 9, at 1pm.
I would also be pleased if you are willing to share the body of this message with other contacts and friends to help ignite my November 28 Amazon Launch. Any help is appreciated.
The launches are for my new book:
Youre Not the Boss of Me: Discover Your Authentic Self
Identity theft is not only financial fraud but can be about the theft of pieces of your soul. It is time to understand how the agendas and opinions of family, society and technology have stolen parts of your authentic self. Insights in my book will help you discover how to take back your true identity.

While the book is a simple read, only 116 pages, it is full of valuable and helpful information. It is not expensive so will be a great option for Christmas gifts.
For all of you who would like to buy on Amazon, unified buying on my launch date of Wednesday, November 28, would give the book a great start based on exposure and ratings.
If you miss the date of November 28, you can still buy the book online anytime and/or recommend your local bookstore or library bring it in for you.
I would appreciate your help by forwarding this message to as many of your contacts as possible to assist with widespread coverage.
With Love & Gratitude to all of you,
Alma Lightbody

Cute, but not so cute…

Paranoia of the day!
There has recently been an explosion in the numbers of rabbits in the Okanagan (see Bunny Explosion) for the full story. Having the rapid spread of the Eastern Grey Squirrel on Vancouver Island, one realizes how vulnerable Pender Island is to introduced, invasive plants and animals. If you have a bunny, all precautions should be taken to ensure your lovable pet doesn’t make a breakout and end up causing even more native plants to disappear by their voracious feeding. And think what might happen to your favourite veggie and flower garden! Racoons have been spotted running around the island, so let’s hope they don’t become the kind of problem they are in some urban areas by raiding garbage cans and invading attics and crawlspaces to find harbourage and a place to reproduce.
June 2008 Update: Oh no, rabbits have been reported running loose on Gowlland Point Road. Apparently somebody has somehow let their pets free. Now residents of the area are scrambling to find ways of trapping and relocating the animals, which have an amazing reproductive capacity. If the release cannot be contained, the rabbits will become increasingly feral and no doubt make their way northward. These adorable looking creatures can wreck havoc on native vegetation and crops, and by their tunneling, damage foundations and facilitate the entry of other pests such as rats and mice. Raccoons have reportedly cornered and killed a domestic peacock on the island and they are now another pest to contend with.
