Canada’s First Balti House.

After moving to Kelowna there was a surprise turn of events when a visit an old friend from England manifested into the opening of Canada’s first ‘Balti House’ restaurant.
Chapter eleven.
The Silence must be Heard.
It’s alright to sit on your potty of self-pity now and then; just be sure to flush afterwards.
The Millennium Café & Esoteric Centre, severed out a lot more than just great food…
In fact it became a virtual beehive of knowledge, and people came from miles around to see and hear our guest speakers. Covering a range of topics such as heath, the metaphysical, environmental issues, new technology, de-tax and medicine to name a few, we certainly made our mark, but sorry to say nature left her mark too and we had to closedown due to the forest fires. We lost everything and I MEAN EVERYTHING! Our car was reposed, we had no job, no money, no food and no possessions, plus we found out our 17-year old daughter was pregnant and then on top of that our dog died. Well as least I had my health…well that was until my back seized up a week later. Talk about feeling depressed.
We were about to find out what being down and out really meant. Hell, we couldn’t even afford to go bankrupt!
Epilogue.
From that moment on I discovered a whole new side to life, when everything I thought was there to help people…wasn’t! It was then that I started to delve deeper into what I’d seen and heard throughout my life and realized that there was so much stuff out there that the public didn’t know. From that moment on I decided to come out of my shell and write a book. Hoping that by telling everything I’d seen I could at least do my part in uncovering the truth for all to see.
Hang in there... because now comes the interesting part.
