Mark’s thoughts on serving the Child Care Industry in Toronto Canada: 2005 to present

This is where I will be sharing my thoughts and reflections. No doubt, as my life has a very entrepreneurial focus this flavour will be present.

entries presented start with the most recent

September 16th, 2007.

It has been close to three-quarters of a year since my last entry in this blogg. From the "website updates" page you will note that I have indeed been active in developing friendlyville.com. I do hope to present an entry as to my thoughts soon.

January 13th, 2007.

Here we are going into the fifth year of starting a business dedicated to serving the child care industry. In my travels I saw a quote by the honourable Nelson Mandella: "It takes a village to raise a child" To be invited into this village environment is a blessing in my life. My experiences of serving the Toronto, Ontario CANADA vicinity leads me to profess to the world that we have indeed entrusted the "future of our nation" with a "team" of devoted and talented child care professionals. So often I get to meet talent and drive that the corporate sector would pay handsomely for and yet because of their "devotion" they choose to serve the children.

Why this introduction in my thoughts with you this evening ...It is in my expressive opinion that we need an "ALL HANDS ON DECK" ... we need to gather resources - everyone from every sector of our economy - the future of our nation is depending on us. We currently have the talent - and with access to more tools we can best serve the children and take back the good of society that is drifting into oblivion: what happened to the day of when a neighbour has a problem and everyone comes together to help fix it - will the story of the pioneer days about a neighbours coming together to help rebuild become a fairytale.

This stringent request demands some supporting thoughts. The challenge in publishing information and expressing oneself via this medium is that communications have become so rampant, yet not to be deterred, we must use this vehicle as "a call to arms" and therefore I must express myself with the truth as I see and have seen. I base my plea on the four years of serving the industry. I recall the fist two years had some bumps and hic-ups. We had a Federal Liberal Government in power - as is often the case bureaucracy can often take time to implement. In my networking I knew of many other businesses that were also holding strong for better times. My thanks to the Honourable Jack Layton and the Federal NDP Party for standing up and lobbying for Child Care: I recall seeing a surge in Child Care purchases at this time, yet when the Federal Conservative Party won a minority government things seemed to dry up in terms of funding - disbursements. It seemed like all of a sudden there was a freeze and everyone was scrambling to play by new rules. I've seen some of the activity and from the retail sector I saw a year that was challenging but by no means a disaster - the economy did perform well by international standards (resource-driven).

Never before have I gambled with my career livelihood as I do in this venture. I have confidence that the Canadian economic outlook for 2007 will be favourable (- we'll be able to scroll back and see if I was right). I do know that the furniture budget of one of my major key accounts has been frozen for the year and that there have been media reports expressing financial shortfalls in our educational organizations . Over the years I have seen restrictive practices and yet many of the "catalogue-style" products do not lend themselves well to multi-year wear. My confidence is threefold: governmental initiatives: Best Start and Early Learning Centre Programs, are now kicking in - the provincial and federal governments have "gotten their feet wet" and know that elections will be coming...thus we'll see some favourable announcements: perhaps more activities and funding of after-school activities - or why not after school/work family events in the most troubled areas of town; that we have gone so long without refurbishing our facilities and most of all I believe in the products and services we are offering.

For four years Mark Mueller Agencies has created awareness in this industry - with a special emphasis of let our actions speak louder than our words - all this writing I can feel that 2007 will be another philanthropic year for that I believe that there is not only a need not being serviced but also, and perhaps most importantly, I believe in serving those who serve the children I have found my calling. It is my hope that the "leadership by example" efforts that MMA exerts will have a ripple effect on the positive passions of our communities.

And in offering a quality product at a fair price (in fact references are available to support that over the long-term our furniture is not only most comfortable but also less expensive) we know we can add value. One thing I have found is that many companies are there to sell the products (large portion offshore skins and low-grade materials) yet few are there to service what they sold or help the Customer out.

It is important to express that there are many amazing people who are helping out and giving where they can. And companies that "shine love" - tremendous love: e.g.: www.habitatforhumanity.com. (why is it that the world has only one of these?) yet as reported above we need more - we need everyone. I once heard that we are all connected to everyone in the world by three or four or five connections of "I know someone who knows someone who knows someone .... Imagine when we call such troops to assist in serving our child care industry. And while I may be passionate about this industry I encourage everyone to find their volunteering passion: I do believe that the light we shine to one sector radiates off into every direction and will therefore shower the children. As long as we have youth violence in our communities each one of us needs to reach into our own communities to the best of our ability. It's time to get into the trenches and help others out with the focus of "give a man a fish, feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, feed him for life". Only with this hands on approach do I believe we will truly be able to see where our system needs fixing, tweaking, etc. and because we will be there at this point in time actions can be immediately undertaken to eliminate concerns.

Financial donations, as one can imagine, are important anytime: the oil that makes the motor go. During my employment with Superior Glove and Endurapak I got to witness the administrative and front line operations of all sizes of companies: What I saw there was that the corporate power provided the vehicle with the more invested resulting in a better "engine" and then the synergy of people and their skills causing movement towards the growth objective (adding value) Witnessing our schools and child care facilities in action, my thoughts lead to how we need to encourage others make our skills available to the child care facilities. I see first-hand how skilled our educators and care-givers are in their roles yet by bringing many skills to the table. I urge each and everyone of you that are currently not employed or volunteering with a child care organization (school, day care, children's centre, hospital, etc.) to go and introduce yourself around town to see where your energy and skills would be embraced. I am confident that where there is a will there is a way and that by employing the I know someone who knows someone...we can strengthen our "village" which is charged with the raising of our children.

With intense schedules often guiding our daily lives we may find it challenging to volunteer time yet I assure you the reward is bountiful (recent activity for me in my life). Nonetheless even by sharing your awareness of issues that you believe in and in spreading the word we can influence factors affecting our life for the positive.

In closing, I previously attempted a "personal quote" to stir our nations into increasing their philanthropy yet I recently heard the quote of Mother Teresa: "Give until it hurts" and in respect of her wisdom and servitude my thought path now follows hers in these terms.

Best wishes for a most prosperous new year: one of much health, wealth and many smiles and happy thoughts.

Cheers,

Mark

December 22nd, 2006.

A most incredible week has passed in which I was invited into a school's community to celebrate the festive season with them.

A quick reminder and encouragement to become involved in helping to set our Accessibility Legislation in Ontario as per the link on our homepage: I love this link - you can participate in a survey complete with feedback forms that allow one to contribute one's suggestions (not just a tick off the box campaign). What a great concept and I invite every fellow Ontarian to check it out and, when applicable to themselves, participate. Here is the link again:

Our Ontario Government needs us.

December 13th, 2006.

Yet another day of the month which has brought me good fortune: and what a gift indeed. And that it be one occurring, and with great significance to my life, in the month of December. The beauty of building a business is that there are so many within your sales audience who have no need right now to purchase furnishings and yet they are part of the social fabric of the company I am striving to build. How wonderful it was that in one of these such calls I should be invited to attend a child care's Christmas party as a "special guest": it was truly amazing to witness this from a different perspective and reminded me of my times with Santa . This adventure leads me to believe that life is indeed the perception we give it and for a few magical moments I was who I was.

And you know folks. we have to give till it hurts and then give some more. It is so easy for us to give - if we don't have so much the financial resources - which are so important - then we need to give our love, our time, our thoughts, and our prayers if so inclined: find the energy which you know best suits yourself - and as one euphemism goes "Rock with it" Let your passion run wild with the pureness of good you can think and dream of. While employed as a bellman at the Royal York Hotel (see my performance portfolio) I learned that "four quarters make a dollar" and that rather than shirking at a fifty-cent tip, much like the fact that each vote counts imagine the good we can do amongst ourselves when we put it to the synergy of our community. To maximize the goodness I believe we have to find times when we cut out any thought of profit - true selfless service reaches to create a passion to ensure that maximum gain is for the recipient: and while I can't yet prove it in black and white (the numbers are still in the red) the progress I am witnessing within my heart says this is the only way. We have to believe in the wisdom of what we shine out comes back to us many-fold. Today's example is testimony to this.

It sure is great to be the one who guides the friendlyville vision: As I encourage your liberating ideas to guide the dynamic flow so to do I get to express my own: How free are we to bend reality to fit our perception: I am pleased to demonstrate:

I had such a wonderful time at today's Christmas party and the dynamic action to "make things happen for the children" is exactly what friendlyville.com wants to foster, encourage and CELEBRATE - and because toddler's, preschooler's and JK & K children were present, their energy and presentation of love, and that of their care-givers wins their day care an entry into one of the essay draws - we still have two days left yet I am confident - unless the emails and phone calls come pouring in at the last moment - that they will be a winner - in fact they are so much so a winner that I will herewith guarantee them one of the prizes - isn't this what building a business is all about - RISK - and if there was ever RISK that we would want to invest in - this is it. I feel justified in deciding this because a true expression of Love one can not buy - yet one can give a gift to reward and celebrate this initiative. and this event - combined with the timing make it perfect to act upon

And now 'tis time to retire for tomorrow will be a Thrilling of Thaumaturgic (working of miracles) Thursday and to partially quote Shakespeare's Macbeth: "Let this (wonderful experience) be the whetstone of your (passion to carry the vision forward). So very nice to be in thought with you and share with you the essences of your child care industry.

So much to report since my last entry. As you will note from the website updates it isn't that I have been absent from friendlyville.com yet more so that I have been developing content which I hope serves you well, which is what this domain is all about.

The friendlyville.com vision of continually developing an e-community which networks the resources of our society to our child care industry is indeed bearing fruit. The new dynamic realm of the internet allows us to expand the goodness that prevails within our communities.

The Wishing Well resulted in a wish come true.

The closing date of all the contests that had a closing date of November 30th, 2006: the new date is December 15th - which means the winners will have their prize in time for Christmas. I am trying to make it very simple to sponsor a contest: no takers yet. Also new is the "buy a bean bag chair for a school or other child care facility" program. Lots of new links to explore.

Friendlyville.com is also pleased to welcome Harmony Pet Resort. I met Linda while part-boarding a horse and she was of tremendous help to me in caring for the animal. I got to witness her healing skills when she worked on my horse. Truly amazing the skills she has developed. She is great with human animals too.

I have been networking the domain and in my travels have met many other merchants who did not discount the possibility of participating in our site. - now my task will be to (in my part-time) help them move in: I am awaiting feedback as to the big empty space under construction on the homepage. As well we have several other professionals considering posting their offerings in friendlyville.com.

I am happy to report that business is going well. Despite a major account putting a freeze on furniture spending for this academic year they do have adaptive equipment budgets for which our products are very well suited. I see firsthand the fiscal restrictions being imposed on the child care industry and for this reason my passion is strong to help the community rebuild despite their lack of resources. I have every confidence in our community and for this reason I am investing as much as I can in the friendlyville.com concept.

Wishing you all many happy moments: call me when you need me.

Back safely from a visit to the Sivananda yoga ashram in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec. Since my last entry I was honoured to be embraced as a special guest of those who host this mountain retreat during the past two weekends: first to measure and then to deliver their order. By great fortune this timing coincided with the one month Teachers Training Course (TTC) which finished this past weekend. Being welcomed into their established clique during this intensive study during both weekends is indeed a smile for my pocket. Thanks to everyone I enjoyed these times with.

And lucky me that they should have a talent show on Saturday nights with an audience of about fifty. When I was vacationing there this past summer I was invited to participate in the TTC talent show yet my call to duty superseded this activity. I was going to do my version of Ha Ha Yoga (which I learned about from my friends Jim & Jaya). Well wouldn't you know it, my dear friends who are staff encouraged me to perform the ha ha yoga.

With all the activities of going on in the ashram their is not time to think about a talent show skit - meditation: nope, raja yoga (exercises): no - it is a continuation of meditation that focuses on breathing and for every forward bend their is a backward bend. When you inhale visualize and reach to extend and elongate your body and in the equally deep exhale let the body fall into the stretch, giving just a little bit more with each exhalation. To maximize performance one must clear the mind of any thoughts. Maybe at breakfast - nope too busy enjoying conversation with new friends. The day continues with meeting more friends, a lecture and more exercises and meditation followed immediately by the show. Well I decided a last minute change was in order and successfully performed my Dracula presentation. I told them that should fortune allow me to me with them again the next weekend I would present the ha ha yoga then. I am happy to report that this five minute skit was also well enjoyed so if anyone needs entertainment "I am here to serve you". It was such a wonderful experience and big hugs, smiles and happy thoughts for all of you.

Amazing the idyllic paradise selfless service can help build. Even a stairway up the mountain. Two-thirds the way up just a few steps off the steps is a circular meeting place carved out of the forested and brush area: Wooden benches line the perimeter with peace pole in the middle. Many revered individuals of many faiths planted this pole in the name of world peace. Remember ring around the rosy: with this enthusiasm I took a detour to skip around the pole and share thoughts for world peace. I mention this as it did result in a beautiful inner smile and sense of well-being.

In thanks for this great experience and for trusting in me to deliver the goods I would like to encourage everyone to visit the Sivananda Centre in Toronto. They are truly international and you can visit their website (above) to find the centre closest to you. An interesting fact I learned while I was at the ashram: The Sivananda organization has successfully graduated close to twenty thousand yoga instructors. Having been at several graduations I know first hand that each yoga instructor is indeed of the finest calibre. While demanding, the routine one develops will in fact multiply exponentially as one progresses through the course.

Drum roll please ................... I am happy to announce our first contributor to Friendlyville.com. (Names will remain anonymous until the close of the editorial contribution contest.) I will find a place for it yet for now will share the link here - very appropriate for the friend theme:

September 21st, 2006.

It seems that this blog is becoming a monthly expression versus the desired daily or weekly event. Nevertheless here I am once again to report that the corporate vison continues and I am feeling the evolution continue.

Today was indeed a thrilling thaumaturgic (working of miracles) Thursday: out of the house by 7 a.m.; breakfast with my Mom; a field trip with a school to WindReach Farms. We enjoyed a wheelchair-accessible hay ride and picked apples. The farm is designed so that it is fully accessible to everyone and even the apple trees are miniature. While I deem it best not to mention students by name, the teenage girl who I got to hang out with during the first portion of this trip is a most fabulous person. I was able to apply the lesson that I had seen about reaching motor skills in my regular volunteer classroom and we applied it to reaching - successfully - several times in our apple picking activity. The animals in the petting zoo were also great and seemed to be very gifted with the children.

A toast, yet again to our teachers. It is such a joy to see them in action and they are most supportive in my learning. I get to be like an apprentice and it is so great how they guide my life's adventure. At lunch I got to assist a twelve year old boy with his lunch as the girl I had been with required special attention. The teachers are so in tune with each of the students individual needs and I was encouraged to focus on encouraging eye contact and visual as well as audible communications. (I'm sure the teachers could define this more accurately.) It was a beautiful sunny afternoon so after lunch we went out on the porch. There was a group of school-age (able bodied) children there with their teacher and they were making a quilt. It was special to see the interaction as they included us in their activity during our remaining time there.

Many thanks to staff of WindReach Farm. As an additional side note it was great to see a previous industry contact again.

And then upon returning to the school I had been invited to participate in their weekly yoga after-school class for staff. A different style of yoga than I am accustomed to yet also uplifting.

I am pleased to announce I have been invited to visit the Sivananda ashram in the Laurentian Mountains north of Montreal, Quebec this weekend to present a quotation for furnishing for this quality resort. I am also looking forward to the four hours/day routine of yoga classes and reuniting with great people.

Much work needs to be done to continue this web domain vision. This weekend I will meditate of this site's further direction and I am confident that next week you will see many of the changes I am currently developing.

Beaming you all bursts of happy energy, Mark

August 15th, 2006.

First off I would like to welcome to this world my new great-niece: Imogen Edith Roffey: Born on August 11th, 2006. May smiles and happy and happy thoughts shower your every moments. Congratulations to Gayle and Nathan and their families.

Back to power-driving the economy. As you might have noticed I have been working on this web site in preparation for the beginning of the school year. While sales activities are generally slow at this time I did have a wonderful interaction with The Safehaven Project for Community Living (respite center): As well as attending to the business of having an upholstered section of their Sensory (Snoezelen) Room repaired I had a most wonderful yoga session with several of teen-age clients: I love to visit with the kids when I am there and at the time they were relaxing in the bean bag chairs. One girl was sitting on the couch and somehow we started on the breathing principles of yoga - well one thing led to another and before we knew it we were doing abdominal breathing, some smile and ha ha yoga. I have learned since my return from the yoga ashram that the main thing is to adapt whichever knowledge and tactics you can think of within your limitations and implement the actions.

I also had a wonderful meeting at Curved Space today with a teacher who will include our products in her Snoezelen Room. Again we see the dedication of our teachers: preparing for September during their holiday time.

August 4th, 2006.

It has been almost two months since I have conducted my web-building activities. Managing the sales processes takes priority. As our patterns of performance emulates the school year, I am happy to report that had a good sprint to the finish in serving the Toronto District School Board, among others, and with all my intuition, hedge that Curved Space (and Mark Mueller Agencies) are well-positioned to launch the 2006 - 2007 school marketing campaign. This month of preparation will allow me to define what the managed program will be: item for item, and then to of course to post this in our this website.

Can you tell in my writing skills that I have just returned from ten days of an intensive yoga vacation in the mountains of Quebec Canada. (My July 2006 yoga vacation) I highly recommend the Sivananda Organization: My friends and I have identified that after this vacation you don't need another vacation upon your return. Total recharge of one's life-force energy.

While nowhere near the four hours of yoga exercises per day I was performing during my stay there I am managing to do 1 - 2 hours either on the pool patio here at home or at my Mom's condo on a nice Persian carpet. My Mom and I have had a couple of innovative sessions together. While I have not taken the one-month intensive Teacher's Training Course I have attended many Sivananda classes and lectures since the 1980's and received instruction from Swami Vishnu and his chosen disciples. It was neat to embrace all this history of learning and with both of our intuitions, we designed a series of yogic stretches for my Mom (83) to participate in while I did the more intensive ones. It will be my goal to visit their Toronto Centre in downtown Toronto (Spandina & Harbord: just west on the south side) to get in some of those refreshing two-hour sessions as well.

A reminder too that if you want us to promote your product and or service or if there is a product or service you want us to source we welcome your communications.

While web-development activities have been dormant recently I have been studying web-design and hope to bring you a new and revised site soon. So much to do: As previous visitors will notice I di a large series of revisions: that file transfer protocol work sure is tedious: uploading and then trying to figure out the glitches that occur along the way (e.g. a few pages contain half-loaded image documents only -> tried deleting them and uploading them again with no success: I will have to (time permitting) redo each of the entire pages and rework the links. I must say that having this medium to share my communications with you is well worth this effort. If anyone should know what I am doing wrong or how to correct this I welcome your feedback.

Wishing you smiles and happy thoughts for your day.

June 8th, 2006.

Another thrilling thaumaturgic (working of miracles) Thursday. This past week I had the pleasure to meet for the second time a very wealthy honourable man who has built a successful manufacturing company employing many people. His wisdom to me relevant in my quest of building this company was that it takes FIVE years minimum to truly build a business. Definitely a big smile for me to hear this - year three and a half. I suppose for my style of striving to follow a narrow path I should add another two years. It is a breath of fresh air with the challenges of starting a business concern. Just thinking of the goal that at the start of year five that MMA could hire it's first employee - after all this is what can really pump our economy: jobs.

Speaking of which, I met an upstanding (first impression) young woman yesterday who is seeking employment: Ideally in the west end of Toronto (Jane St. to Dufferin St between Bloor St. W. and Lawrence Ave. West). Although when we briefly spoke she had mentioned she is seeking factory work at $8.00 to $10/hour, I, in my intuition believe she is capable of performing in whatever opportunity she would be given. If you are interested in exploring this opportunity I would be honoured to network you with her.

This past Tuesday I had another opportunity to spend time volunteering on a field trip to the Science Centre with a school. We got to see the IMAX movie "Bugs". Such a joy to hang out with my friends.

I saw a typo in my previous page so I naturally had to correct this and of course in the spirit of this blog had to add this entry. This smile break in thought with you is over for now - on to the next smile break of continuing in my administrative and sales and service responsibilities. One of which is to prepare for a 10 ft. x 10 ft. space of our furnishings to be used as the booth for a child care centres community fair presentation to be hosted this Sunday. I do know I will have to travel to our plant in Pickering to prepare for this and other chores either today or tomorrow but for now I have the luxury of working from my home office where the pool is almost ready and the lawn needs cutting.

I leave you this day with one of my favourite phrases: Let's pump this economy!

A P.S. to our troops (42 nations) who have dealt a major blow to those who threaten our freedom and democracy. Thank you for putting your lives on the line to protect us and make all what we have possible.

P.S. #2: I have heard from very reliable sources that Positeevo: the positive clown is getting ready announce his "Top Secret Urban Infantry Freedom Fighter's Club": apparently the cost and dues for membership isn't money and is based on the honour system: He plans to charge you for clicks on his website but the thing is that you have to pay yourself. How he plans to do it or what the charges will be my source didn't know. They did however get a glimpse at some of Positeevo's notes that looked like a list of some sort and did see the distinct words "ten plus one leg lifts". I'll keep you all posted as to any news developments If anyone has any photos of Positeevo in action I would be most grateful: it seems that Positeevo is more focused on being himself in his striving to shine love to others in a most positive way and always neglects the opportunity to build a photo album. Guess we'll have to check his website next week). I'll keep you posted

June 1st, 2006.

A thrilling thaumaturgic Thursday indeed. I had a reason to go by a particular school this morning and was able to attend their Grand Opening of their Snoezelen (Sensory) Room. When I arrived, the classes were celebrating outside in the sunshine in readiness for their. event, and of course they greeted me (a field trip volunteer) with enthusiasm. Another happy reunion and an opportunity not only enhance the quality of my life but also to further my company vision of becoming an integral part of the community I serve. I must say I feel very special when I am welcomed to participate in their learning activities. And our Toronto Police Department sent their representatives and demonstrated yet again how "Our Cops Are Tops" by presenting a cheque generated by their internal fundraising efforts.

Throughout the day similar joys of visiting these environments were experienced When you step into these environments you step into "pure love" environment - and the leading-edge and innovative/creative development activities by the care-givers is most often evident. When all the treasures and challenges of creating full-self-employment are placed before me it is these interactions, that shine love so brightly and purely, that drives the passion to build and the will to succeed in my company vision.

Such are the thoughts I share with you this day.

May 25, 2006.

Business is going well. The phones are ringing and we are ringing the phones, distributing our catalogues and conducting (prospective) client visits and servicing existing accounts. Pump those economies. We are in full production phase and as the sales representative I know the team is depending on me to continue this trend.

May 23, 2006. (dates approximated - will be confirmed)

The field field trip with a school to the Metro Zoo was a success as the weather included a sunny day. It was neat to see the elephants respond to the children.

April 28, 2006. (dates approximated - will be confirmed)

And yet another fun field trip with a school: This time to the Kortright Conservation Centre for a maple syrup

March 11, 2006. (dates approximated - will be confirmed)

The MMA corporate vision includes that we participate in volunteer activities on behalf of ourselves and the companies we represent. With this dedication I was able to enjoy in a wonderful field trip to the Science Centre with the students, staff and parents of a school in Toronto, Ontario Canada. The high school students who attend this special education "country club" as I affectionately view it often have limited vision and verbal communication. Thus the viewing the IMAX cinema's "Following the Nile" was well enjoyed by all with not only it's huge screen but also the six massive speakers. After the movie we visited the Human Body exhibit. We had a very happy day of inclusion and I have been invited to return to spend more time with the class.

February 11, 2006. (dates approximated - will be confirmed)

We have elected a new minority government and with this change in leadership from Liberal to Conservative, my concern is that this will shift away from continuing to implement the funding which has FINALLY been designated for our children - the future of our nation. I must say this will really "test the metal" of our child care industry representatives when they will continue to endure through more lean times. I, as president of MMA see it, this is where we have to be there for our child care providers and help them through challenging times. In my daily travels I see that many centres are still in limbo and all Best Start programs are frozen. Any funds available must be reserved for tight operation cost.

Wishing everyone all the best for the year 2006.

December 3, 2005

The funds recently promised by the Liberal Governments of Canada and Ontario are finally starting to reach the child care industry in the Toronto Region and orders for the quality freeform furniture for which MMA is the exclusive agent are increasing.

First meeting with the Brampton Catholic School Board. Enjoyed a wonderful morning with a class for children with special needs.

The Toronto District School Board called to invite me for a visit to quote on creating a comfy area: we do value repeat customers.

Successfully completed the un-installation of a bench-seat mat which has been scheduled for repair this weekend: gives us another opportunity to shine.

The SUPERSTAR FUND receives it's inaugural resource infusion thanks in large part owing to a purchase made by Frankland Day Care Centre in Toronto Canada
