The way it is.

It's easy to question the decisions you make in your life but in today's post more specifically in your job. It can be difficult when decisions you make get thrown back in your face or make people feel like they need to dig their heels in the ground.

I think the most important thing I've learned over the past 2 years in my job is that you can't always make everyone happy, but as long as you make the right decision it will all work out, eventually. This week I had a staff member come and apologize for a mistake they had made in actions towards a decision I had made, and to be honest it felt good to finally get through to him on the reason why and provide some feedback for the future. Some days you do everything right.

Look at their cute faces

The best part of this is the song that came on my ipod this morning right when I was about to answer the office, it makes me realize that i'm on the right path, just got to take it day by day and stay calm and carry on.

On the Ground

Somedays you get kicked to the dirt over and over again. Yesterday quite a day like that.

So I went home.. cried a little, drank a beer, watched some grey's anatomy, cried some more and then decided that was enough. I got up today, put on some makeup, did my hair right and smiled. I realized that I'm going to be the bigger person here. So I dust off my shoulder and walk on with my head high. Not everyone will like the decisions you make and some people you may even lose along the way but I know I made the decision that was right and it's not my fault.

So I start this post with some old/bad songs and some new/encouraging song, but on a day like today they just make me smile.


Ok- Embrassing I know.. but who doesn't love a little Informer.... welll this may not be that but is a cute song from the early 2000's that I just can't let go of.




Taylor says it like it is... you will just be MEAN.



Raise your glass- One of my favourite songs to shout when I've had a bad day. :D


This is a song we use in Body Flow- it's calming, beautiful and a new favourite. Tai-Chi moment anyone?


I'm sure there are others... but this is all that comes to mind today.

Another thing on my mind lately is forgiveness and asking what you need. I was quite angry for a bit at someone and finally just let go. I realized lately that there are people I need in my life for different reasons and if i want relationships to last I need to voice my want, because lately I've felt alone without them.

Stay calm and carry on.

Fast Cars

It's Tuesday..and you know what that means?!?!?!



Body Jam Night! Dance out the stress, bad vibes and bring in the laughter, sexy body shakes and my favourite night of the week!

Do something that makes you smile this week. Last night I got off the streetcar early and decided to walk the rest of the way, picked up some fresh flowers and couldn't help but smile all the way home. The little things.

Here are some images I'm loving right now:

Fresh Starts

Life throws curve balls and your reactions shape the person you will be. So who do I want to be?

I spent a lot of time this weekend thinking about recent actions, discussions, situations and what I really want. I'm somewhat bad in ensuring I'm doing all that's good for me. Either due to work getting too crazy or trying to accommodate the needs of others. So I've decided to make some small April goals- ranging in needs.

1. Enjoying the sunshine/freedom: Weekends are a time to de-stress, relax and live in the moment. I want to ensure I am making the most of those times, yes sometimes hiding in the house, doing chores and cleaning is necessary. But also sometimes its necessary to take a morning walk around town and sit in a coffee shop for a few hours and read, or going rollar-blading or a new adventure alone. So for the month of April, I want to make sure I take the oppournity to walk around and enjoy the little things.

2. Eat what I really want and what I really need: feeding my body the food its needs to live is necessary, and yes this can accomodate things such as lattes and the once in a while baked good but should mostly consist of fresh produce, good meals and portion control :D

3. Keeping that fridge/pantry stocked: I am bad at keeping up with groceries and when having them ensuring they are used up. Time to get creative.

4.Enjoy the physical activity I do: As you may already know I love Body Jam, its fun, hard work, makes me smile and gives a high like no other. I also have been enjoying yoga and need to keep these up.  So it's time for more classes and other outlets of physical activity. Because there is some changes my not-so little body needs to make.

5. Smile more often- do what I love: Self explanatory. :D

So let's see how we do with these. 

Here is one of my favourite pictures from my trip to Scotland in '09. So pretty, can't wait to get back there.
