Motivational Monday #12: Good Vibrations

Monday, April 28, 2014

I am a true believer in karma. I believe that we are rewarded by doing good. I believe that everyone has the fate and luck they deserve. What you put out into this world matters. Someone is always watching, it could be any god you believe in, it could be Santa, it could just be your boss or teacher, but making sure that you let them see the best of you at all times will give you a leg up on getting the most out of life. 
Life may seem unfair, but just knowing that at the end of the tunnel there is a light will give you more energy to keep going then you know. Sometimes the road is really bumpy and there may be an accident or two on the way to the destination, but the effort is almost always rewarded.

I don't have any life stories or personal anecdotes to accompany todays entry because I am still in the start of my journey, I haven't received the big pay off at the end, but just knowing that its coming gives me hope, and whats life without a little hope.

Happy Monday!

Motivational Monday #11: Decisions, Decisions...

Monday, April 21, 2014

"Fear has overcome me. I have become paralyzed and fallen back into familiar habits. I have failed." 
You can't let these become you, these words are poison and will not let you accomplish anything. Over this journey of life, I have realized that nothing good ever came from me saying "No". You have to make a conscience effort to start deciding to do things and saying yes for things to start happening. It will be a pretty boring life if you don't. The old adage is, you don't remember the nights you stayed at home in your pajamas in thirty years, you remember the nights you accomplished dreams and met new people and started becoming the you that you could be proud of. 

So goals for the week:
Say yes to at least one opportunity you normally wouldn't.
Make a decision that you are proud of and maybe have been putting off.

Happy Monday!

Happy Easter!!

Wednesday, April 16, 2014


A little minion egg I received from one of my favourite littles, Devyn.
It is such a wonderful time of the year! The dreaded snow is finally disappearing, jackets are less bulkier, i can picture myself wearing flip flops with most outfits and Cadburys Creme Eggs are out!!
I just wanted to put up a post to wish you all a Happy Easter, even if you don't celebrate it, lets celebrate spring on the horizon (and an extra day off work).

Have a great day :)


Motivational Monday #10: Friends

Monday, April 14, 2014

Recently, I went through a pretty horrible time when it came to my friends. I had a fight with one, that really wasn't either of our faults, but still ended very badly. This friendship will never be like it was and what I realized is that I am ok with that. My group of friends has not really changed since high school, but I have figured out through this experience that I have. My other friends said that the disagreement would not have an effect on our relationship, but I can't help thinking that it did. To me this is also ok.

What I am trying to get at on this wonderful Monday morning is that moving on and growing up are good things. Sometimes we have to move away from what we have always known to really find something great. Before you get ahead of yourselves, especially if this is my old friends reading this, I am not saying that my old relationships have ended or are ending. I am just at a point where I got  to comfortable and realized that my friends were moving on, and I was stuck. I have grown, I have learned, I have gone out of my comfort zone and what I have found on the other side is that I will always have my friends, but perhaps I have room for new ones too.

I recently started socializing with friends from work. They are a great group! I feel that for the most part, we are all at roughly the same stage in life and we all have so much in common. I can definitely call them close friends now and I feel great about it.

So if you are feeling stuck, possibly feel as if you are growing away from your lifelong friends, its ok. If they are meant to be your friends forever, they will grow with you, and if they don't, that's ok too.

Look Into My Life: The Kin Concert - 04/05/2014

Wednesday, April 9, 2014

This past weekend I experienced something I have never done before. I went to Winnipeg, stayed in a hotel and went to a small bar concert. It was amazing. Good people, new friends, great music and lots of memories made.

The night started off with a delicious vegan meal at Winnipeg-based vegan restaurant, Boon Burger. It was so good. Every time I go there I am astounded at the fact that there is no animal based products whatsoever. I normally get the Thanksgiving Burger (still my fave) but this time I tried the Prairie Chick-un Burger. It was also delicious but couldn't topple old faithful.

We then headed to our hotel, Place Louis Riel. This hotel is so nice. Each room is like a mini apartment. It had a full size fridge, stove and dishwasher!! For the price, I would highly recommend for any stays downtown. What was great about it too was location. It was about a 5 minute walk to the concert venue (which proved important).

Once we got ready my friend Laura's friends came over to mingle before heading to the show. It was great to meet new people and Greg and Courtney are super awesome. I would definitely hang out with them again. We played some games and had a few drinks then walked over to the concert.

The concert was at a place called The Pyramid Cabaret. It was a bar type setting and was very "rock and roll". The show started with a local band, we are sure we heard them say their name was Latke's (potato pancakes right?) but can't be sure. They were alright, but could use a few lessons in sound checking. The second band is a band called Finish Ticket. When I heard they were opening the show, I went to YouTube to see what they were about, and they are great. A great indie sound with hints of Maroon 5. I also really enjoyed all of their haircuts (weird?). Go check them out here.

Then the big show came on. One of my favourite bands, The Kin. I first heard them back in January when they opened for Pink, but they are so good I had to make the trip back just for them. They are truly a great band and super awesome to their fans. A few songs in they actually came right down on the dance floor and did an unplugged show with the entire audience surrounding them in a tight circle. Very intimate and very cool. I kinda wished they had done the whole show from their! You should go listen to every song by them here.

Well that was a long one, but I really wanted to tell you all about it because it was such a great weekend. I want to give shutouts to my friends Charissa, Laura, Greg & Courtney for making it even better and to my sister Brianne for having her birthday the day before to give us a reason to go. The band is coming back in the fall, and I will definitely go again.

Have a good day all!

Motivational Monday #9: Relax, Just do it...

Monday, April 7, 2014

Seems like an easy thing to do right, relaxing. More often then not I find it one of the most difficult things to do. I cannot let my body relax. I am always tensed up and clenching my teeth or tapping my foot. I even have restless legs when I sleep. I am forever on edge and I hate that about myself. My theory is lately that if something is going badly in my life I need to analyze and stress about it and if its going good I am continually waiting for the other shoe to drop and end up not enjoying the good.
This was demonstrated this past weekend. I was at a great concert in the city with great people and all I could do was stress about what was going wrong and I was paranoid about things that, rationally, I knew probably wouldn't happen. I could not sit back and enjoy that one of my favorite bands was playing a mere 10 feet from where I was standing.
This I believe is one of my worst flaws. I do not think of this as shaming myself for admitting that I have flaws or that it makes me a pessimist or whatever. I am a firm believer in admission helping the healing. If you can't admit to yourself when you need help or that your doing something you shouldn't be, you will never break the habit and long term will cause more harm. So this Motivational Monday may not be as uplifting as most, but what I am trying to say with it is, relax and enjoy the ride, admit when you have done wrong, but don't apologize for being you either.
Have a good week!
