🌄 "𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧." - Haitian Proverb Life is full of challenges—both external and internal. But what if we saw these mountains not as obstacles, but as opportunities? Opportunities to grow, change, and become who we’re meant to be. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.  𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐛, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐲𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧. Whatever mountain you’re on right now, embrace it. Learn from it. Because beyond this mountain, there’s another one. Might as well make the most of it.

Glad you're proud to be Canadian. 80% of Canadians are considered Meritless to serve other Canadians in an advancing role in the Canadian Public Service because of a lack of a second language. These are individuals who: - May be new Canadians - Never had an opportunity to learn a second language - Never had an opportunity to learn YOUR second language - May have learning disabilities but have tremendous value - Come from a lower socio economic family and had to focus on livelihood rather than or is it because you are looking for a specific socio-economic and racial group almost exclusively located in the National Capital region? A form of nepotism perhaps? Glad you're proud to be Canadian - Any reason you support your employer ensuring that 80% of Canadians aren't allowed to be Public Servants? Any reason you won't even address your hypocrisy? Any reason you have no interest in receiving feedback for improvement?

History is best presented with factual and relatable stories...and that is how we do it.

For some people, family heritage is a guiding force for where one travels, and if and where one moves abroad.

More Northern Lights to be seen in County Donegal. The view from Carrickabraghy Castle on the Isle of Doagh, Inishowen, Co. Donegal.

Situated on the Inishowen Peninsula, this castle stands as a significant relic of Irish medieval history, offering insights into the region's past political and social landscape. The surrounding landscape is breathtaking, offering dramatic coastal views, and nearby, you'll find other historical sites like Doagh Famine Village, which explores Ireland's famine history and traditional rural life. The Northern Lights are an atmospheric phenomenon that's regarded as the Holy Grail of skywatching. Aurora borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is a natural light display that occurs in the polar regions, mainly in the Arctic. Generally the best places in Europe to see the aurora borealis are the Nordic countries of Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland, which lie within or near the Arctic Circle. But visible across many parts of County Donegal in recent years! 📸 Dominique Bablee McDaid #northernlights #auroraborealis #donegal #discoverdonegal #ireland https://lnkd.in/e8i2v9WB

*** The longest highway in the world *** Pan American Highway (multiple countries) Stretching from Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay to the tip of Argentina, the Pan American Highway passes through more than a dozen countries. It’s easily the longest road in the world. But since it’s a network instead of a single highway, estimates of its length vary from 11,000 miles to 30,000 miles, depending on the source you consult and the roads you include. One note in case you’re thinking about driving the whole thing: At the point where Central America meets South America, the Pan American Highway is interrupted by 60 miles of wilderness known as the Darien Gap. You’ll have to travel this stretch via boat or plane.

Have you been to any of these Northern California towns? World Atlas features six often overlooked NorCal towns with a rich history: Fort Ross, Angels Camp, Chester, Mariposa, Independence, and Coarsegold.

Established as a US state in 1850, California's north quickly grew into the famous place we know today, hosting creative types, famous natural beauty in Yosemite National Park, and world-changing technology companies. For a regional past as dramatic as its present, travelers will love these history-rich northern California towns." Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gau2uZQM

WHICH IS WHICH? Your Weekly Guessing Game Question 10. JERSEY: City, Island, State? 🗝 to question 9: LEFT: Darwin is the tropical capital of Australia’s Northern Territory, overlooking the Timor Sea.
