I was very excited this month, after seeing Wayne Dyer at an I Can Do It Conference, that he would be doing 'something' for the 'short' on the new Toy Story 3 movie. As excited as my children were to see Buzz, Woody, and all the others, I was excited to see whatever it was with Wayne Dyer in the beginning!
As a mother, I am always trying to teach my children all I can about loving themselves, loving others, promoting inner and outer peace, conscious awareness...all of it. And some days it can be hard. There are times when I don't know what to say to my children, in terms that they can understand and use in their own life. I have always looked at movies as a great teaching tool for kids, as they relate to the characters, and it's not always a lecture!
The short film is called Day and Night, and features to 'blob like guys' who show what happens when day meets night. Both are completely different from one another, and because of this they do not trust one another. I also get the feeling that they want what the other person has, and therefore try to make themselves seem better, as they constantly out do each other.
As the short rolls on, they discover that each has positive qualities within them, and thus, a friendship forms. At this point, we get to hear Wayne's voice come through a radio tower (in Day's belly) about overcoming our FEAR (false evidence appearing real) and how fear is what holds us back from truly loving one another as we should.
With a proud smile on my face, my children looked at me and asked, is that the guy you're talking about Mom? Wayne? and I had to say YES!
Everyone keeps talking about how we need to teach our children about what humanity really is, and Wayne Dyer and Pixar have started something that I hope they will continue doing. Entertainment doesn't have to be about toys escaping from a day care, or how to train your dragon. It can be about the difference of Day and Night, and get to the core of who and what our children really are, LOVE.
Until next time,

About Me
| Catherine Graham |
| Kitchener, Ontario |
Catherine Graham has been writing for much of her life, with her first attempt at a children's novel at the age of six. The book, titled, The Little Brown Rabbit Who Wanted Another Friend, was published by her first grade teacher, with copies going into the school class rooms, as well as the school's library. Thus started Catherine's early love for literature and writing.
In grade seven, Catherine had her poem, The Boy, published by Iliad Press. At her grade 8 graduation she received the Writing Award.
Catherine's love for writing came to a halt as she entered high school and became engrossed in all of the happenings around her. When her father passed away at the age of 16, Catherine began writing poetry again to sort through her varied emotions.
On Mother's Day, in 2007, Catherine had an article published in the Kitchener Waterloo Records, a pivotol point in her career. Based on the reviews that she got for her writing, Catherine started writing her first inspirational book, Woman to Woman The Journey To Me (published March 2008)
In October 2008, Catherine had a story published in Chicken Soup for the Soul, Divorce and Recovery.
Catherine completed her second book, Power Surge in September 2009, and an e-book, What My Mother Taught Me in 2010.
Catherine is also a Certified Coach Practitioner, Reiki Practitioner, Hot Stone Masseust, Past Life Regressionist, Relaxation Therapist and Hypnotist. She is a member of Positive Imperative, and a mother of 5.
