On
November 28th 1985, I was told by my doctor to inform my
family, arrange my finances and funeral, I had six months to live!
After four years of living in fear, my life took a dramatic turn
and I embarked on a spiritual journey from fear to Love! Healing
does not necessarily mean cure of disease, but healing our mind
and transforming our body to realize its full potential, joy and
purpose. Learning about the influence that our thoughts have on
our life and health; from breakdown to breakthrough! Living today
as healthy and as fully as you can, mentally, emotionally, physically
and spiritually. The Abundance of Life does
not come from what one can provide for oneself, but it is provided
in our connectedness. I Show UP For Life!
We don't usually look at AIDS - or any life threatening illness - as
an opportunity. But, without diminishing the seriousness of the
disease or sentimentalizing its impact, it can be, "a wake up
call."
Our judgments and those we place on others...

 -2011-November 11- Speaker: AIDS Vancouver Board Vice-Chair, Bradford McIntyre opened the commercial premiere of the documentary sponsored
by at Bradford McIntyre, a
long term survivor living with HIV since 1984, introduced the feature length documentary “We Were Here” and shared his own experience living with HIV. After the screening, Bradford moderated a 20 min Q & A session with director David Weissman, via Skype.
“In We Were Here, director David Weissman vividly captures the reality many of us faced in the early years of the HIV
epidemic. Back then there was no support out there for people living with HIV and stigma was so vehement. People living with HIV/AIDS had
to create grassroots networks to take care of one another; fight for treatments and human rights and educate the public to break down
the barriers of stigma. Thirty years on we have come a long way in addressing these issues those generations before fought for.
However, with over 33 million HIV infections worldwide, we must continue to act and support people living with HIV, by never
faltering to advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness.” reflected Bradford McIntyre.
