Fire Within Tour
Magic most likely passed away from a heart attack.. as did my brother in early 2019, and my mother in 1984. My brother was much more than a brother.. he was 12 years older than I was and I now realized set a bar for how we should inspire eachother. He had me kicking a soccer ball before i could walk and never made it easy for me to score. He made it fun to be on his team and would make games that encouraged me to never give up. The heart is the symbol of love and we sure love our fur family here! Both my parents, and my brother shared fond stories of pets while I was growing up and I am grateful to have at least one dog through most of my life. It was the love of my first dog that inspired my drive to run to Canadian Records. Athletics helped me to find peace to some extent to. My athletic scholarships funded my schooling. I am hoping to fund a school for peace and pets.
The Fire Within idea is to promote lifestyles that are stress relieving while raising funds for Fort Socs Why? Stress is the biggest cause of heart attacks. Nature and pets help us reduce stress. Seems sensible to invest money and energy in peace and developing peaceful cultures . I also believe that education and story telling are key to this as is the idea of peace through tourism and the Magic peace park plans.
Fort Socs Membership Drive
add in a pet's name when you join.. pretty simple
Pets have helped us towards living peaceful lives for centuries and still do. Few can deny that the main cause of heart attacks is stress so to raise funds for Fort Socs and its Magic peace park seems a great way to educate folk on the value of pets. With the idea that "The buck starts here" it be nice to have a dollar for every pet name added, but I believe that it will balance out in the end so the name is the main blood for the vein to this work of heart
Dreamer donars--
What is a Fort Socs membership? Basically promoting peaceful communities and sharing pathways to healthy communities.
KnightMAREs is a group that is forming that will be showcasing the songs and stories of pets and local history.
Part of the drive will have having places in the Okanagan to do a potluck style of songs and stories with an open mike hosted by a Fort Socs member.
Wanted.. Fort Socs members, dead or alive! (dead you ask? Past pet/ people connections are ripe fodder for this and are brought back alive as we work to keep real time pets and people safe. Maybe a donation of story / name to allow them to live on. )
if you like. Be nice to get some involvement on here.

I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
want to go on the whole of the rail to trail okanagan
Where slowing down is the name of the game
we get stronger in every way going day to day
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to our horizon
But we're gonna be where the lights are shinin' on us
As Fort Socs members
Hanging out with friends and promoting community
As Magic KnightMAREs
Sharing songs and stories of pets and local history
and sometimes a joke or three;
Well, I really don't mind the rain
And a smile can ease all the pain
It's easier to stay sane when your takin' the long way
I want to say to folk how are you?
and stop to enjoy the view, along the way.
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to our horizon
But we're gonna be where the lights are shinin' on us

Fundraiser by Silverado Socrates : The Buck Starts here! (gofundme.com)
Peace is free, but hay and dog food isn't! i plan to pay students from the university to look after the horse while i promote the park in other communities. I would also like to get things better set up for the horses, King, Lady J and myself. I am thinking towards $3000 to establish a good fund to get things set up to later sell "dream" shares that could will buy the place, and set up a model for others like it.
