Canada is so proud of Celine Dion and all she’s done in the world. Hello! Canada gave Dion a 20 page spread with husband Renee, son Rene-Charles and two month old twin boys Eddy and Nelsen. The HuffPo writes words about the singer’s expanding family:
“Dion, who with husband Rene Angelil has a nine-year old son named named Rene-Charles, spent years trying to get pregnant again, going through IVF treatments and suffering a miscarriage. So the couple wanted to give the twins meaningful names. We met with Nelson Mandela and spent some time with him at his house when we started Celine’s world tour,” Rene said. “Eddy is a homage to Eddy Marnay,” said Rene, referring to the songwriter that wrote Dion’s first five albums and died a few years ago.”
Nelsen is of course, Mandela’s namesake.
Cute story.

SOME CROWDED HOUSE AND NELSEN MANDELA – DON’T DREAM IT’S OVER
Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.–Nelsen Mandela
Music: Crowded House, Don’t Dream It’s Over
Hollywood rugby pop art: All rugby communities know it’s a long way to that blasted try line. Stay close to each other, create play and reach forward together for a dream. The proven fortitude and new flexibility of teamwork is always the dream.
Artwork: The Key & Bars by Nelsen Mandela
Limited edition lithograph and hand cast numbered metal key
Nelson Mandela is the world’s greatest living statesman and nobel prize winner. He is a symbol of the struggle against apartheid and has now turned his hand to art. This stunning and unique piece symbolises the story of his time spent in prison on Robben Island.
The Key and Bars contains two powerful icons of the 28 years of Nelson Mandela’s imprisonment. His fingers have slowly and deliberately been drawn down the page to recreate the bars of his cell. The Key to his cell has been hand-cast into an edition of just 3000, each numbered and accompany this very powerful edition.
This superb item is personally signed by Nelson Mandela and is supplied framed and glazed, measuring an impressive 23” by 17”.
It is supplied with full certification from the Mandela Foundation.
In the 29th year after a prison of pain, Nelsen Mandela walked to freedom, and the whole world went with him in that place. The irony is, that without pain’s temporal confinement, we don’t know what freedom is. After pain, we then know. That is grief’s gift in the humanness of our shared recovery.
