Smile Cookie campaign sets new record for Chilliwack, Abbotsford and area health care needs People in the Fraser Valley are more than willing to open their wallets to satisfy their sweet tooth and support a great cause, based on the recordbreaking results of a recent community initiative The Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation says the weeklong Smile Cookie campaign from April 27 to May 3 brought in a record-breaking amount for local health care thanks to the generosity of people in Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mission and Hope, and the support of Tim Hortons franchises locally.

Prior to the recent week-long campaign, Tim Hortons said previous Smile Cookie efforts had raised over $151 million since 1996.

“The annual Smile Cookie campaign is a powerful reminder of what community truly means. For the past 30 years, Tim Hortons restaurant owners, team members, and guests have come together to create real change for people right in their own neighbourhoods,” said Axel Schwan, President of Tim Hortons. “With nearly 700 local charities and community groups supported this year, the reach of this campaign has never been greater.”

Be cautious about what you bring to an end or the way in which you go about winding something up, especially if you think it will open up more choices. The situation will have to be revisited mid April next year.

Other things would have changed by then.

It might be wiser to let things take their own course right now.

Something that started off as a small thing when it comes to helping out somebody else that seems to keep on growing would be best dealt with now, especially if it is turning into a habit or interfering with your regular routines. It has probably taught you to take more notice of what is important to you, rather than getting distracted..

Something is winding up on a personal level perhaps in ways you were not expecting that is generating thought of all sorts of possibilities in the long term. Someone can play a powerful role here. However it is to eventually settle will not become evident until January to April next year. Meanwhile just go with the flow.

You can have success in getting something out of the way that has been on your mind for a while but the energy just hasn’t been there.

Not that you will feel overly energised just yet. It is more a realisation that time is running out. You know you will feel a lot better once this is done, especially if others have a good view of it.

There can be a willingness to let something go that has been a personal priority but doesn’t fit well with someone else. It will be more important to establish underlying stability in situations involving others. This can be temporary as other opportunities to focus on your wishes will arise next year from January to April. Patience can pay off.

Something needs to be put into place once and for all so that you know what needs to be spent rather than other things coming up all the time. Whatever you do now can create changes that may not be fully implemented until next year, between January and April.

You need to be straightforward and practical with any discussions.

The New Moon this week occurs in your sign providing you with the opportunity to generate changed directions on a personal level. Anything that has not been heading in the direction you had hoped might be better let go right now. Becoming more practical can appeal to you, especially when it comes to stability with finances.

There can be new directions building up in the background that will provide the opportunity to put a stable foundation in place. This is likely tied into the decisions of somebody else and something may need to wind up so they can take the next step.

There could be more than one stage of development attached to this as well.

Changes in somebody else’s life may make you realise things are moving on and it will not be the same for you. This is encouraging you to think about what is important to you. It can actually be freeing you up to do so. This is a first stage.

New people can come into your life, especially from January to April next year.

New directions involving other people can be smooth running if things are done their way. While there might be a lot in common, their determination might clash with yours. If you have been attempting to come to an agreement, this might need to be left for now and revisited mid April as things will likely have changed by then.

It might be time to develop a new attitude when it comes to commitments or obligations in your life, especially if they affect your finances. If you have accepted things without thinking, you could recognise this has to stop. This can only happen when you take the time to analyse what you can realistically manage and follow through.

New possibilities in the long term can begin to feel more probable or realistic. This could leave behind a level of personal doubt or insecurity.

This can be tied to you becoming more aware of what has been important for a long time but needs to be modified in some way for the future. The second stage can occur January to April next year.

Ridhi's ode to solitude Harnaz redefines Actress Ridhi Dogra has penned a profound note on solitude, emotional independence and went on to speak about finding comfort in being alone. Ridhi shared a slew of pictures of herself from a cafe. In the images, the actress looked every inch stunning dressed in a maroon cotton saree. She wrote: "They say when you're not afraid to eat in a cafe alone/watch a movie alone/be on your own you become dangerous.... Of course they'll say that. Coz you just slightly broke the matrix. You are one with yourself. One with the source...." Ridhi went on to add: "You are not here to please or live off their expectations.... You learn to love people without holding them. You love even while letting go .... That is not how majority operate, So They don't know what to do with you anyway...." "Not because life spared you loneliness, But because you befriended it, Sat with it and turned it into your little love story... musings." Ridhi stepped into acting with Jhoome Jiya Re in 2007.

She gained fame with her work in the show Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi. The actress showcased her prowess in serials such as Savitri, Diya Aur Baati Hum, and Woh Apna Sa.

global fashion

Harnaaz Sandhu has emerged as a global fashion icon whose style beautifully blends elegance, confidence and her Punjabi roots with an international outlook. Ever since winning the Miss Universe crown, Harnaaz says her understanding of fashion has evolved tremendously, especially after being exposed to global designers and trends. Reflecting on her transformation, Harnaaz shared that moving to New York after her Miss Universe win played a major role in shaping her fashion sensibilities. According to her, the city introduced her to a completely new perspective on styling, colours and accessorising. "New York did teach me a lot about fashion," she said, adding that she was happy to witness a huge change in her taste and understanding of style. Harnaaz believes the "Punjabi girl" in her now carries an international understanding of fashion while still staying connected to her roots.

Despite her global exposure, Harnaaz credits her mother as her biggest fashion inspiration. She revealed that as a child, she was fascinated by her mother's beautiful suits and traditional style.

Today, the roles have reversed, with Harnaaz now advising her mother on fashion choices. The actress says Actress-singer Shehnaaz Gill stardom with her stint in Bigg Boss 13 over her she feels proud when friends and has made a candid confession chemistry with the late star Sidharth Shukla, people around her seek fashion tips from her, seeing it as a about her heart as she shared was recently seen in the music video Bezaaf reflection of her growth and confidence over the years. a video of herself dancing on the song Sheesha. with Moroccan pop star Saad Lamjarred.
