Wendy Williams gets voted off “Dancing With the Stars”

🌸 The Sakura Project Each spring, the cherry blossoms bloom along the lake at Spencer Smith Park in Burlington. For a brief moment the trees stand in fullness — luminous, delicate, and unmistakably alive. In Japanese culture, cherry blossoms reflect mono no aware — the gentle awareness of impermanence and the beauty of passing things. Inspired by this idea, The Sakura Project invites our community to gather beneath the blossoms for a quiet moment of remembrance. There is no formal program. Only presence. Some may come remembering a parent, partner, friend, mentor, or ancestor. Others may simply pause beside the lake and reflect on the people who shaped their lives. 🌸 Join us 📍 Spencer Smith Park — Burlington 🗓 Saturday, May 2, 2026 ⏰ 10:30 – 11:15 AM RSVP: https://www.dancescape.org/sakuraproject/⁠� Hosted by Robert & Beverley — danceScape #SakuraProject #SpencerSmithPark #BurlingtonON #MonoNoAware #StoriesThatContinue

🌸 Stories Beneath the Blossoms — The Sakura Project Sometimes the things that carry our memories are surprisingly ordinary. For Beverley, it was her father’s 2000 Honda Odyssey — a van that travelled with the family through ballroom competitions, hospital visits, coffee outings, and life transitions for more than two decades. Last week, she finally let it go. In this short conversation, Beverley shares the story of her dad Derek Cayton (June 13, 1929– May 1, 2015) and the vehicle that quietly carried so many memories. In Japanese culture, cherry blossoms remind us of mono no aware — the beauty of passing things. Moments, people, and even objects move through our lives. What remains are the memories and the stories we share. 🌸 The Sakura Project Gathering 📍 Spencer Smith Park — Burlington 🗓 Saturday, May 2, 2026 ⏰ 10:30 – 11:15 AM A quiet moment beneath the cherry blossoms to remember loved ones and share stories.
