The Book of Hank, vol. 1 (Hank DeVos)
Much like the disheveled fur coat of a large Alaskan Malamute puppy, the economic structure of most African countries succeeds on two key ideological pillars. I warned you Chloe… I think slipstream and Connected in Motion perhaps have a slightly different meaning for me than other Slipstreamers. Every event I’ve been too I have been [...]
Expanding my Comfort Zone (Meredith Miller)
Since I was a small child, I’ve always been very shy. I’ve always been afraid to put myself out there, especially in situations that are unfamiliar. I have a small core group of good friends, and that’s usually where my comfort zone ends. Being diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes in July 2009 was a huge [...]
Empowered by fellow diabetics! (Amy Burrows)
After coming home from Connected In Motion’s 2011 Winter Slipstream, it took a while to let everything I had been a part of this past weekend soak in (being my first Slipstream and all). So many words to describe this weekend come to mind; inspiration, fun, connection, amazement, motivation, gratitude, and that’s among few. One [...]
A Weekend of Inspiration (Kayla Brown)
As I stare at this blank screen I know that I could fill the page with words beyond words of how my weekend went. I have learned so much that I have a feeling that I will not be at a loss of words for awhile on my blog. This weekend 40+ type 1 diabetics [...]
Lucky to have Diabetes? Hell yes!! (Jason Turner)
There are very few times where I feel that I have been lucky to actually have diabetes. Usually, thinking about my life with diabetes makes me ashamed, angry, sad, depressed, bitter or frustrated. But this weekend, this weekend I saw the other side. A glimpse to an alternate reality, where its cool to have diabetes. [...]
Making my way back into the Slipstream (Sarah Ketcheson)
Have you ever watched the Tour de France and seen the lone cyclist biking desperately to catch up with the rest of the pack? Well, thanks to Connected in Motion I know that s/he is looking to enter into the amazing phenomenon known as the Slipstream, which Chloe has spoken about numerous times. This past [...]
Strength in Numbers (Mark Davis)
Few times in my life have I found myself so at peace with the disease that challenges me every second of every day. This Winter Slipstream 2011 proved once again to be such a moment in my life. I struggle to find words to encompass my feelings towards the friends I made and those I [...]
Not a Word of a Lie: I’m Lucky to Have Diabetes. (Chelsea Lumiere)
Okay. I know that title might sound a bit weird to some, but it’s the truth. I actually feel LUCKY TO HAVE DIABETES, and here’s why. I just came back from a snowy weekend in Haliburton, Ontario, which I spent with 42 other people living with Type 1 diabetes. This is the third year I’ve attended [...]
Proud to be Diabetic (Jenn Randall)
Proud to be Diabetic Yes you read it right. I’m proud to be a diabetic. Some people may not understand that statement but if you are a fellow Slipstreamer I think you may have an idea. I have just returned home from a weekend away in beautiful Haliburton at camp Wanakita with a bunch of [...]
FOMO (Rob Vance)
When we finally sat down in December and looked at the calendar, we compared my Rescue teaching schedule to the CIM calendar and there was a major overlap. I was scheduled to be teaching Ice Rescue courses in Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Regina immediately before, during and directly after Slipstream. My attendance at Slipstream 2011 [...]
Still Riding in the Slipstream… (Jen Hanson)
Wow. What a challenge it is to try to put the last 72 hours into words. From January 28-30, Connected in Motion hosted its 3rd Annual Winter Slipstream weekend and I could not be more excited about not only how the weekend went, but by what is to come. My body is still pumping with [...]
