Blogs about: Life

The difference between Mars and Earth is a little thing we call life. It’s OK to feel a bit proud when you see planet Earth from a satellite — she sure is pretty, ain’t she? All the water, and all that air, it darn sure makes for a beautiful, hospitable home. Zoom way in, and you’ll find people discussing their lives on a day-to-day basis, from the perils of dating to imagining what we’d do with a billion dollars. Speaking of unimaginable numbers, there’s about 6.8 billion of us roaming this planet, and we each have a story to tell. What’s yours?

May Summary/June Goals
Footsteps and Fotos

I want to start making summaries of months and goals for the next month. To see my progress and changes in my life. Also, to think about things I wish to accomplish. May 2012 Summary –Ran my first double digit runs. No stopping me now! – Ran Survived the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon: it was hot. Some people didn’t get official times. I was lucky enough to finish and have my time counted. Rockstar. –Signed up for the Bellin Run 10k –Nike+ watch took a poop. Had to buy a new one. –Started my MARATHON training –Got a new job! Good bye Walmart, it’s been a great 2.5 years. –Moved back in with my parents. Hoping to save money so I can move out on my own and be a grown up. –Changed my blog’s name LOTS of changes in May. Things coming to an end and things just beginning. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions. Highs and lows. Good times and bad. But now that month is done and onto June! June 2012 goals –JUNEATHON: It

Every single step is one step closer to saying what you feel. –Prince Eric (The Little Mermaid Broadway) So as today its a new day. A good day to begin with on a Sunday morning.. As the day passes I ponder at the sky, looking at it what changes are there beside day and night? Clouds and stars? Sun and the moon.

Let’s stop and think for a moment! We leave school or college, thinking that life would be easy in finding work. We think we’ve got it all figured out. But REALLY! Have we got it all figured out? For the past few years many of you, have gone through difficulties in finding the right job, or for a matter of fact any kind of job that at least covers your expenses. How many of you have been to so many interviews, and ended up saying “That’s it! No more” or “I’m fed up!” How many of you were turned away from an interview, with words like “Sorry, we have no vacancies”, or “Your CV doesn’t meet our criteria”, feeling rejected and frustrated. Circling the classifieds; the long hour phone calls for vacancies; setting up date and time interviews, you think what a waste of time! You get up the next morning and do the same thing again. The searching begins, we never give up. Wonder WHY you do it? Basically, because of that nagging voice inside telling you, that there must be a job out there somew

A chapters end
utterlynikki

You know how you read a really good book and after each chapter you want to keep going, but at the same time you can’t help but reread it? Well My time at Word of Life Bible Institute has come to an end. I spent a year of my life at this college and I wouldn’t trade it for  anything. The things that I have learned there are priceless. I made my best friends, fell more in Love with my Savior, and Have received a firmer foundation on my faith where I can go about life with his strength. I am in awe of what God did in my life. I year ago I was trying to just simply hang on but today I know he hangs on to me and I need to do absolutely nothing to have his love. He will never leave me nor forsake me! He taught me that I can have a relationship with him and he is not just a God who sits on high to control my life. He gave me his amazing 66 book love letter to read each and every day. Now as the laughter and tears of this part of life end I question what is next. And I am not enti

Are you a believer in Kindred Spirits and Soul mates?  If you do then you might understand what I am saying. I am an avid believer in Kindred Spirits.  They are to me much more than the standard definition of people who think and feel the same way as another.  A Kindred Spirit to me is a connection you cannot explain but you feel it in your soul.  You and that person just click.  I believe we have hundreds if not thousands of Kindred Spirits but we may not always meet them during our time on Earth. Soul Mates, on the other hand, are fewer and harder to connect with.  I believe that we have more than one Soul Mate but not to the levels we have with Kindred Spirits.  I also believe everyone does connect with one Soul Mate in their life but they may not realize it until later if ever.  Others may be fortunate to know more than one Soul Mate.  These people are truly blessed. There are times where the line between a Kindred Spirit and a Soul Mate may be hazy and it takes time to know for su

Lost inspiration…
The Writing Station

Well, it has been so long since I have written anything on this blog. Right now, I am just sitting on the library’s floor near a power outlet because there are no other place to sit and charge my laptop while I use it. It has been almost a month since I written anything new. I have a couple of drafts that I need to finish but it seems that I cannot finish any of them but I hope that I can. Well, I have been preparing for university…applying for OSAP, choosing my courses and figuring out how to get there. At first, I thought it would be so close but now that I look at it, it is all the way west in Mississauga past Square One and the airport. At least there is a shuttle bus which takes about an hour or so to get there which is okay. Well, at least this year, I can choose when to take my courses instead of in high school, the admin decides which course is best for which period. I have decided that I would take my courses later in the day so I can sleep in and get a little bit

Update!
babyiwasbornthisway

I have just realised that I haven’t updated my blog in what feels like forever… My memory can’t even seem to remember when forever started.. This is getting awkward, so… moving on. My grandparents arrived on the 9th. It was amazing, I was really happy seeing them. I love my nan and pa unconditionally. They’re like the best people ever. The brought me quite a few clothes, make-up, jewelry and CHOCOLATE. nom nom. Even though they both got sick and now have to go home after staying two weeks instead of four, it’s still been amazing seeing them & all.         ————————————————————–     This was typed out two months ago. Damn. Can time go any faster? Okay, dear nature, this isn’t a challenge for you to accept. Okay? Good. Life has been so busy and just a big whirl and I fell out of the routine of blogging every weekend bec

Day 2-Fresh Start Challenge
lohnniecakes

It’s day two of the Fresh Start challenge and I am super excited!! Hopefully, you have given much thought to everything that I shared with you yesterday and are ready to move forward. And hopefully you have started working on your list of goals, dreams and aspirations. You can always go back and change you goals or add to it at anytime, so don’t think that the list will always stay the same. By altering your list, it shows that you are growing and changing. No matter what your goals are, they are very special. Why? Because they belong to you! And because they are what is most important to you. Otherwise, why would it be a goal or dream? You wouldn’t want something if it wasn’t special to you or something that you aspire to have. So why sell yourself short? Why not work towards your dreams? Often we want something but we don’t follow through or we think that we can’t have it. Believing in your abilities is a part of self-love and plays an important ro

May is the cruelest month…for housesitters.
Polloplayer

With all due respect for T.S. Eliot, he had it all wrong. Yes, he murmured eloquently of lilacs and hyacinths, but little did he know the cruelty he escaped by not having to house-sit for us in the month of May. (This brings up an interesting concept – if you could pick a historical celebrity to house-sit for you, who would it be?) Friend Lori and her kids Bryson, Lauren and Chadd somehow convinced us that there was nothing they would rather do than spend half a month with our menagerie.  Undaunted by the “walk-through” whereby she learned that several hours a day are spent administering to various animals’ health, well-being and grooming rituals, Lori promptly sent me an Excel document with various tabs to reflect the daily goings-on. I should have known right there and then that she was bringing her A game. Chadd and Lori How do we get so lucky with our housesitters? Yes, there has been the occasional bad experience like the one several decades ago when I enli
