He enjoys being at Prosper Place and spending time with his fellow members. Bill likes to stay late at the end of the day and help clean up. He is friendly and will help any members if they need help. Congratulations Bill! Transformation – Life Journey Transformation as a life journey, When you start life, your journey begins. You transform many times into a toddler, a young child, a teenie bobber, teenager. An adult to senior and then an elder. Each stage in life is a transformation of physical, emotional, and mental states. It’s all a journey; hope you enjoy yours here and now. Because every journey begins step by step every day. Submitted by: Glen D Peer Director 3 Prosper Place Pioneer Issue 80, September 2021 Message from the Executive Director Personal Transformation For me, September is a month of renewal, new learnings, and fresh beginnings. I am not sure why I feel this in September of all months…? Possibly it is the upcoming change in the season and how the beautiful summer leaves magically change their colours to bright yellow, red, and orange. Another possibility could be that when I was younger, September was the beginning of a new year of school, which meant new education opportunities, new friends, and fresh notebooks. Either way, renewal and transformation are good feelings. It is like a few little butterflies in your stomach. Personal transformation takes bravery – be willing to change. First, set your goal, visualize the goal, and create a plan with many small steps that lead you to achieving the goal. Along the way you may feel uncomfortable – that’s OKAY. You will also need to stay focused and be your own cheerleader – keep going! I wish you every success and remember, Prosper Place is here to help you.

Prosper Place Pioneer Issue 80, September 2021 Member Voices What does TRANSFORMATION mean to you? • Transformation: a butterfly coming out of a cocoon. – Geri R. • Deep change within a person is a process that can take years. We need to be careful to avoid quick, easy solutions as they are often not the solution which are the best for us. One needs to dig deep to solve the question of who we are. I wish I knew at 22 what I know now at 57. The goals you pursue matter. So, take the time to choose worthy ones. You won’t regret it! – Arthur L. • I think of positive change, like becoming a better person by honestly realizing my weak and strong points and using them to make me a better person both for myself and others. Transformation for me means changing from a caterpillar that eats everything in sight with no thought of the negative results its doing and transforming itself to a beautiful butterfly or moth which fills our world with beauty and adds to the important flora and fauna that Mother Nature used to keep our Earth healthy and viable. – Katherine P. • Transformation is going from one of way of doing things to another way of doing things. – Jo C. • I am reminded of butterflies the start of a different phase something new and exciting but can cause anxiety and yet inevitable. – Glen D. • I think the word Transformation means a beneficial change! - Mary J. • When I hear the word transformation in this season I could just relate it to the wonderful change of the season from summer to fall. After enjoying some warmth of summer, we are going to enjoy the transformation from warmth to cold. I think some positive transformation help us to have something to look forward to. – Merrita T. 6 Prosper Place Pioneer Issue 80, September 2021 Member Voices What is your favourite part of Fall/Autumn? • It’s a great sight to see leaves change on trees. – Dani O. • My favourite part of autumn is the harvest, and array of fall colours of the leaves. – Jo C. • There was a time years ago when I could smell the change in nature from Summer to Fall. I also liked going to school, so would look forward to that, and also getting new clothes and meeting new people. The seasons enrich us with different feelings, activities we can do and add to the Spark of Life and Adventure that all people need. – Katherine P. • Fall is good. It is not too hot, not too cold. Remembrance Day, Halloween, and a new school year. – Arthur L. • Candles, pumpkins, Thanksgiving coming up, turkey, leaves changing colour, and my birthday September 18. Friends and family are important. I’m happy to be a uncle. – Asif S. • My favourite part of autumn/fall is that it's nice and cold. – Jason N. • My favourite part of Fall is the harvest and cooler temperatures for some hayrides and the closer it is to celebrating Halloween! – Mary J. • My favourite part of Fall is the cool weather, not too hot, not too cool. So nice to sit outside with a cup of coffee and enjoy the fresh air and the breeze. – Merrita T. 7 Prosper Place Pioneer Issue 80, September 2021 Member Reflection What is your favourite back to school memory? After the long summer break, many parents consider back to school as ‘the most wonderful time of the year.’ However, the upcoming 2021-2022 school year is unlike any other.
