March Already? Sunny Day Ahead!
Tomorrow’s expected high is the hottest Ottawa's seen in a while at plus 12! Woohoo!
Proudly completed DryFeb with over $1,400 raised for the Canadian Cancer Society. Being sober the entire month wasn’t too bad! The whole ‘having a sinus infection the entire time’ thing sucked. I felt like I had hangovers that I certainly didn’t earn… even though I gave up the hooch.
Obviously back on the wagon and, otherwise, life is pretty great. The sun is shining and we’re getting longer days, warmer days… the ice is melting, the snowbanks are disappearing and spring is en route.
Time to think about motorcycles, spring break, cottages and spending more time outdoors.
Oh yeah, and the end of this goddamned pandemic.

Monday, December 16th Update: THIS IS THE FINAL WEEK TO DONATE GIFTS to the STATION!!
I’m bringing the toys to the Ottawa Mission this weekend, before their big Christmas Dinner service on Sunday, December 22nd. The deadline for drop-off at the radio station is Friday, December 20th! So I’ll be talking about this a lot over the next few days.
Off to a strong start, this morning two large boxes FULL of Lego were delivered to my studio from YanPeng Gao! THANK YOU!
The ever growing pile of toys, ready to bring joy to the little faces attending the Ottawa Mission’s Christmas dinner service on Sunday!
Christmas Mission: 2019
Help bring cheer to children who attend the Ottawa Mission’s Christmas Dinner service on Sunday, December 22nd, by bringing a new (in it’s original packaging) gift to the Rogers Radio Building at 2001 Thurston Drive, Monday to Friday from 9AM to 5PM.
Sometimes Santa isn’t able to bring children in our community presents because they don’t have a fixed address. Let’s help Santa out, like many of you did last year, by delivering gifts to kids who slipped through the cracks.
Families come together at the Ottawa Mission each holiday season for a warm meal and togetherness. It’s an eye opener to experience the magic that happens during Christmas Dinner Service and, for me, I’m particularly moved to see babies giggling, children smiling and teens spending that quality time with their loved ones…
To commemorate the occasion, wouldn’t it be cool for the little ones to have something physical to hang on to? A gift. JUST for them. Shiny. New. On their Wish List that Santa maybe didn’t see?
Here are some pictures and posts from last year’s Christmas toy drive for our friends at the Mission.
If you’d like to arrange for a KiSS Studio tour when you make your donation, please get in touch with me (Amy Volume) directly to set up an exact date & time.
Bring in a NEW toy, book or treat to 2001 Thurston Dr., weekdays from 9AM to 5PM on or before Friday, December 20th.
If you are unable to physically drop something off and you would like to donate - please ship to:
