**Welcome to Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa!** **Spring is in the air, and with it comes the promise of new beginnings, fresh energy, and the joy of connection!** As the season of renewal unfolds, we invite you to step into the rhythm of community, dance, and celebration at Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa. My objective has always been to create a different kind of social gathering—one that is open, non-judgmental, and safe. A place where you can meet people just like you, where socializing and dancing come together to help build community and tear down the walls that separate us. Here, we make new friends, feel a sense of belonging, and enjoy the calmness that comes from knowing we are in a safe and welcoming space. Many times, I have been asked, “Why host an event on Monday night?” Many people escape on the weekend and dread Mondays when they return to work. I believe that if you dance and socialize on a Monday, you infuse your week with joy and positive energy, giving your life balance and helping you face your challenges with enthusiasm and confidence. We’re also thrilled to announce that our trial of advanced Bachata lessons, which began last September, has been a resounding success! Building on this momentum, we’re excited to offer an enhanced schedule for 2026. Our dance evenings will now feature three hours of classes: one hour of beginner to intermediate Bachata, one hour of advanced Bachata, and one hour of beginner to intermediate Salsa. As always, the entrance fee remains $15 for a night of 2 lessons and social dancing. For those interested in the advanced Bachata lessons, there will be an additional $5 fee. Here’s our updated schedule: **Miss Bachata – Main Ballroom** 🕖 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm: Beginner to Intermediate Bachata Lesson (No partner required) 🕗 8:00 pm – 12:00 am: Social Dancing **Miss Salsa – Round Room** 🕖 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm: Advanced Bachata Lesson (+$5) **NEW** 🕗 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm: Beginner to Intermediate Salsa Lesson 🕘 9:00 pm – 12:00 am: Social Dancing ✨ **Additional Details:** ✔️ Free Parking ✔️ Full Bar (Free Water, Beer: $5.75) Over the past decade, organizing Latin dancing events in Mississauga has been a labor of love. Our mission has always been to foster a sense of community, proving that the connections we share are far stronger than the differences that divide us. Loneliness is a growing concern, with over half of U.S. adults and many Canadians experiencing its effects. The COVID-19 pandemic has only heightened this issue. Harvard University's long-term study on happiness, which began in 1938, highlights the detrimental impact of loneliness on health. People with strong social connections experience slower mental and physical decline and greater overall happiness compared to those who are isolated. Here are some key findings from the study: 🌿 Close ties help delay mental and physical decline more than money, fame, social class, IQ, or genetics. 🌿 Relationship satisfaction is a better predictor of aging well than cholesterol levels in middle age. 🌿 A strong sense of community improves memory function. 🌿 Loneliness can be as harmful to health as smoking or alcoholism. And there’s hope! Strengthening our relationships and supporting community initiatives can combat loneliness and build healthier, happier lives. Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa provides a wonderful opportunity to make new friends, expand your social circle, and enjoy a safe, welcoming, authentic environment. Bring your open heart and a smile, and we’ll take care of the rest. 🌸 **Cheers to a season of renewal, joy, and community!** 🌸 **Anna G.** https://www.meetup.com/LatinDanceMeetup https://www.facebook.com/groups/1871491806494168/ https://www.facebook.com/EventsByAnnaG

This was the best deal we’ve seen in Toronto in 20 years. We’re not exaggerating. **\~6% cap.** **\~$11,000/month in rent.** **\~$2,500/month cashflow.** These are the kind of numbers you expect in Hamilton or Kitchener… not in Toronto. But that’s not even the interesting part. Most people would look at this deal and think: **“This looks good… but I’m not sure what I’m missing.”** And they’d be right to think that. **=== What was actually going on under the surface ===** This wasn’t a clean deal. Not even close. * Power of Sale – Seller wasn’t even the owner… it was the lender. * No representations or warranties – all protective clauses crossed out. * Open permits from a major renovation. * Legally a duplex… not a 5plex. * Potential HST exposure that could’ve led to a $250k bill. * Banks didn’t want to finance it as a residential mortgage. * The original buyer backed out 24 hours before the deal would have died – forcing a full restructure under serious time pressure. * We had to restructure the deal as an assignment to keep control, with other buyers waiting in the wings. **=== The part most people miss ===** Anyone can buy a property. Very few people know how to identify what the real risks are… how to mitigate those risks… and how to stick-handle a deal like this. And this is the part that matters. On paper, this looked like a great deal. In reality, this is exactly the kind of situation where people go firm without fully understanding what they’re walking into. * What actually needs to be verified – and what often gets missed. * What risks are real vs. what just looks scary. * What can turn into a very expensive problem later. * What needs to be confirmed BEFORE going firm. **=== What we actually did ===** We didn’t just “analyze a deal.” We went through it piece by piece to make sure our client wasn’t inheriting problems they didn’t even know existed. This is the kind of work that usually happens behind the scenes - and almost never gets shown. At this meetup, we’re going to walk you through exactly how this played out behind the scenes. Not the polished version. The real version. * What we flagged early * What we were unsure about * What had to be confirmed before committing * What could have gone very wrong * How each of those issues got handled **=== Why this matters ===** This is where most people get into trouble. Not because the deal looks bad. But because something feels off… and they don’t know how to figure out what it is. If you’ve ever looked at a deal and thought: **“This seems like a good opportunity… but I’m not sure what I’m missing…”** This is exactly that situation. And that’s usually where the biggest mistakes happen. We’re going to show you what that actually looks like in real life – and how to deal with it properly. **=== Bottom line ===** This is the difference between: * getting a great deal * and stepping into a situation you don’t fully understand 👉 Come see how this actually played out behind the scenes – and what most people would have missed. *** **Schedule:** **Monday, April 20, 2026, 6:00-9:00 pm** * 6:00 pm - 6:30 pm: Check-in and Networking (remember that your network is your net worth!) * 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm: Presentations from the Volition team **Location:** Suite#803, 105 Gordon Baker Road, North York, ON, M2H 3P8.

Feminine Embodiment Women's Circles & Coaching https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/2/f/0/600_460789904.jpeg There is a cosmic shift happening on the planet and women are tired of playing second fiddle in this game of life. Playing small not only keeps you from manifesting what you truly want, but it also holds you back from living out your divine purpose. I’ve been there, stuck, held back, and yearning to break-free and frankly being in that place plain 'ol sucks! What if you could step-up and make a difference; a meaningful contribution in this world by just being you? How might the landscape of your life look? Over for the past six years, I’ve worked with women who are looking to break out of the spell of smallness. It pangs me to see women depressed, depleted, disconnected and downright insecure. One of the reasons many of my clients rave about the work we do together is because I provide immediate results. What I teach is inherent within you but there are layers of gunk bogging you down from accessing this wisdom. Spinning your wheels, and living a life of lack is no way to live, beautiful. You are so much more! What can you expect from our sessions together: • A solid understanding of what feminine energy is, and how to use it to have your way with the world • Develop a physical and energetic presence that attracts what you want: personally and professionally. • Feel more comfortable with your sensuality, and with receiving positive attention. • Experience more passion in your life - particularly your love life. • Be more at ease setting clear boundaries with others. • Learn to be in flow rather than always pushing and striving to make things happen. • Look and feel more sexy, confident and radiant • Gain clarity about your life purpose and the greatest gifts you have to offer the world • Establish or strengthen your intuitive guidance Book a FREE 30-minute discovery call to learn how I can help support you on your journey to coming home to yourself as a woman. This means MORE self-love, MORE self-confidence, MORE clarity, MORE empowerment and saying YES to living out your divine mission.

I lived in my head and felt completely severed from the neck-down. I over-intellectualized emotionally-charged situations to avoid being present…I am [now] able to ease my ‘mind-babble’, step into my power as a woman knowing that I am safe and secure within my own space, and practice expressing my needs and desires from a more authentic place… Amanda helped me to be trust in the power of vulnerability, surrender, and acceptance.

***Uncover hidden limiting beliefs and reconnect with your self-worth.*** 📅 Saturday April 25 🕑 2:00–4:00 PM 📍 Igita Yoga Studio 💫 Session fee: **$35** ⚠️ Important: This event is hosted at Igita Yoga Studio and **registration must be completed through their website** **to reserve your spot.** **Meetup RSVPs do not hold a place.** Are you feeling stuck, frustrated, or exhausted from repeating patterns in life you know you want to change — even though part of you knows you’re capable of more? Sometimes what holds us back isn’t effort or motivation, but beliefs we don’t even realize we’re carrying. This guided experience blends **sound bowl meditation, visualization, journaling, and reflection** to help uncover limiting beliefs and reconnect with your sense of self-worth. This is not a traditional sound bath — the **sound bowls support deep relaxation** while we explore the beliefs that may be shaping confidence, choices, and patterns in life. The experience includes: • Sound bowl meditation • Guided reflection on limiting beliefs • Journaling prompts • Optional sharing and discussion • A closing meditation to integrate a new belief To keep the space intimate, this session is **limited to 15 women** and is also being promoted through Igita Yoga Studio, so spots may fill quickly. 👉 Register through the[ Igita Yoga website](https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/mainclass?studioid=10807&tg=34&vt=&lvl=&stype=-7&view=day&trn=100000472&page=&catid=&prodid=&date=04%2f25%2f26&classid=0&prodGroupId=&sSU=&optForwardingLink=&qParam=&justloggedin=&nLgIn=&pMode=0&loc=1) No meditation or personal development experience is required — simply come as you are. I hope to see you there. Theresa

A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter. This is the follow-up. Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now. Together, we’ll explore: • What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in • What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted • What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now. Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back. The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. What to Expect • A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) • Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak • Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving • Optional creative reflection alongside conversation • A calm, supportive environment Who This Is For Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. Good to Know • No preparation required • If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited • Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome • Creative activities are optional

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
