I visited my dear client at a nursing home and brought him a valentine’s gift- he was there getting better after cancer treatments and had pneumonia, The attendant on site requested I wear a gown and mask. My client was there, just shy of one month.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I felt very dizzy at work, I told my boss I think I had to go to the clinic, after taking one day off from really bad chills and a headache.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I went to the clinic, in the room, I had some strange behaviors. I told the prep nurse I just needed to lie down, and proceeded to lie down, and while waiting I passed out a short while. The prep nurse came back in now, with a mask on and said, before you see the doctor, I’m going to ask you to put this mask on and I need to take a swab from your nose. I figured it was like any other swab, just in the nostril.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
As he got close to my face, he said I have to push this back quite far and it may be a bit uncomfortable. As he was doing it, I grabbed his forearm because it was the most painful thing ever, and said “please stop “He said, I can’t help you if we don’t take this test, You need to cooperate.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
He took my temperature and said, do you think you might have someone to pick you up? Your temperature is 103- I said no I’m fine, I actually didn’t even remember what he said, until the last visit I had with the last doctor, who read, what my chart said this day. I did not remember driving home, only that my parking job was completely off.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Doctor came in with a mask, and said, “at this time our test can’t be conclusive, but it looks like a bad case of influenza A, are you short of breath? “ I said no.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
She then said, “I am going to order Tamiflu and I want you to stay home for 14 days, do not leave the house and call every few days for a check in, we will access you over the phone.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Well, I thought this was incredibly odd, I mean it’s a flu, right? call over the phone, 14 days off???<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I went home, I could not get out of bed for three days, major fever and weak, I was taking Advil for headache, barely eating.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I felt it best to call- as I was feeling really unwell, I felt I needed to go to the ER.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
My doctor told me to immediately switch to Tylenol, and a lot of liquid. On the fourth day I was strong enough to make a turmeric, ginger lemon chicken soup, I forced myself to eat a massive pot of it.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I had a wave of abdominal cramps, I ran to the bathroom and that is where I stayed for most of the next three days, I thought my asshole would turn inside out and my sinuses started to inflame, and I could not breath, I could not see- my eyes were red. I called the doctor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
The doctor said it sounded like a reaction to the Tamiflu and she was sending over a different medication, and to not leave the house and if possible, have my husband sleep in another room.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Well I was so sick that happened anyway, I was coughing so bad and irritable I yelled for him to get out, at this point I thought I might die, or shit the bed.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
after a few days on the new med I started to feel better, however I had this horrible dry cough.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
to the point of an attack, on my chest lungs, everything. Other than the cough I felt fit to work.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I called the doctor and she said it was time to come in, I saw a different doctor as mine was not available and this lady said, the cough on a flu stays awhile. She read my file, heard a few things…temperature 103, been home 14 days…<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
She said unfortunately I cannot allow you to go back to work or leave your house for another week. I will sign a letter for clearance in one week’s time. <o:p></o:p></div>

I rested that week, when I was to go back my boss asked me to wear a mask to work , as the new discussion of covid-19 was starting to take effect on the news and everywhere else, and she wanted to protect our senior staff. Back to work <b><u>March 7, 2020</u></b>. We all had no idea that our lives would be changed forever, that our programs would be shut down for the year-that our entire world would become different.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I knew very little of Covid-19, however I was starting to get a little worried about it. I was watching hoarding going on the local news, I started to seriously worry about my mother in a over populated area and my youngest son. We had no food in the house, because we were scheduled to be in India a month. I received the email that India was closed and soon boarders were going to be closing. Our own Govern assured us that we really only needed to shop for the month. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
We had to think of a plan and fast. I had monthly bills that I paid on my own, and so did my husband, and our new mortgage payment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
We went and got all our food in one day- one months worth, with extra items that a third person living in our home could eat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
We sent any packages that needed to go, I went and hugged my one son. Then we went and got my mom and her little dog.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
We then got a line of credit at a 1% interest rate and put everything on it- no monthly bills would be coming out- just one payment. I set up Life insurance for my side of the family. we applied for emergency small business loan for my company that was running very part time, I applied for unemployment insurance. It was a scary waiting game now.</div>

My client I had seen at the nursing home, went home and after being home two weeks was told that several people in the nursing home had contracted Covid 19, and that he needed to be tested, and then I was informed. They assured me that if I had the virus, it had now passed. I was terrified and in my gut, I thought…”I fucking had it, I know it”<o:p></o:p></div>

The history of dates, and purpose of this story is to show that I may, or may not have, been a person who healed from Covid-19, however the depth of how quickly this or the influenza A ,spreads, is very scary. We can have no knowledge of how it can be contracted officially, except for what the media and medical professionals tell us. <o:p></o:p></div>

Were the tests that they did on me faulty at the time? We heard they were, and a new shipment was arriving. Was I simply not tested for the actual Corona virus? I apparently at the time did not qualify in the age category, health category, One, will never know. I do know that the cough is gone, and I do everything in my power to look after myself now, I rest when I need rest, I do things slowly. I shut off the noise and put on music or go in my garden. I know that I never want to feel that sick again-ever.<o:p></o:p></div>

Covid -19, has infected age groups ranging from age 20 to 80, and animals, a few cases of children. It basically means, anyone can catch this thing, you do not have super power, only one person should be doing the shopping and no one can visit.<o:p></o:p></div>

My mother was in an overpopulated area, with nothing in place- we quarantined her for six weeks, moved her completely and her dog. When we heard her building was shut down to the public with security, we sent her home with masks, a N95, sanitizer and a box of gloves- we made sure she had enough food.<o:p></o:p></div>

I do feel that there is opportunity in all of this, to clean up finance- to maybe indulge in education online, to get fit at home, to plant reliable food source for your own family. Many things can be corrected now, declutter, home Renos- things people never have time for.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Be grateful you have this time. </div>

I am trying to do all of the above, my anxiety that I never thought I had is here, the last week I was on media a lot. Today it will be off. </div>

Well Hi!<br />
<br />
It has been a long ass time since I wrote in my Blog!When new things go down thats typically when I write. Well, a lot has happened! My company has quieted down to a nice comfort zone. We bought a new house! The forever home! Dreams do come true! The vision board back in 2015 is completed!<br />
<br />
In 2018 I trained with a Pro Trainer, This was life changing! The program was so hard, that when I reached my goal and placed before the age of 50, I went on a vacation. I had absolutely no desire to hurt again. Its been two years, and I am 40 pounds over.<br />
<br />
Me and my husband are in a six week challenge that is quite tuff, a lot of muscle confusion.<br />
Its even harder to get up at 530 am. After week one, I was also asked to be a coach on Beachbody on Demand. This is the company that started PMX90-<br />
<br />
I have been asked to join groups and to buy products all sorts of stuff, to me this was always another market thing and I just declined.<br />
<br />
I have seen major results with my friends who have joined, over the last few years and the videos are getting extremely good. Then a random person showed me a video of THE WORK, and asked me to be a coach with no obligation. I watched Amolia Ceaser, dripping in sweat, swearing like a Navy Seal. Amolia trained the NBA players. He had similarities to my Pro coach I loved. I was hooked!<br />
<br />
I was into week one of similar stuff in my six week challenge so I thought what the heck.<br />
The random person who asked if Id joined immediately sent me a sample pack of the shakes- good grief I have never had a good shake until now, except the fancy ones you buy of coarse. All my training ones tasted like ass, at the time I just sucked it back, cause thats what you do.<br />
<br />
I don't know how far this will take me, maybe it will only pay for my product and help people -and thats ok. I like the incentives and the trips, but most importantly I like the women and teams.<br />
I will not be starting on Amolias The Work, I want to work up to this. I will be starting a challenge group Nov 30th on Facebook. I have not decided which one yet.<br />
<br />
Life is a challenge, but its always better when you challenge yourself- if you have weight or your super skinny or you just want to do better. I found as I get older, more and more parts of my body just hurt. Keeping your joints and body in check will give you a longer health. I am 51 years old, I find these programs hard, so we would be doing it together from scratch, we will be helping each other.<br />
<br />
This is no 5k in the park- this is everyday, so I'm gonna start it slow- then we are gonna hit THE WORK.<br />
<br />
I hope some of you will join me< Im new at this and honestly I don't even know how to post a video yet..LOL.<br />
<br />
The Facebook group will be GetitGold, there will be incentives and prizes for accountability. This will be up and running Monday. Everything I share will be from my coach at Beachbody-<br />
<br />
What I do know if I had a year of training from a pro and I placed, which is very hard for someone who never professionally trained in a gym before. Now I'm in a six week challenge with a meal plan with a crazy person who runs you threw muscle confusion- in week one I have lost 3 pounds- so I do know a little something something.<br />
<br />
Black Friday is upon us and the programs are slashed, so if you want to join me now,<br />
PM me on messenger and we will get you started. Click my name and message me<br />

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
My Kondo Journey<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Every one of my friends is watching Marie Kondo, on Netflix, and I decided to pull my pride out of my butt and give it a watch. I restore and clean homes in a very unique way that my little town has not applied to their life, before me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
The community often hire cleaners, maids, whatever you may call a person that tidies your home. I restore items and remove items from view to make the items people have look new, and uncluttered. I clean like a bio hazard technician, because I am one.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I also work with people who have OCD complications and work with them on the removal process. I wanted to know what this woman Marie Kondo applied, besides a fantastic marketing plan, that was different from mine. I watched her show “Tidying up” I was immediately drawn to her cuteness and blessing of the home. Her plan was very simple. As I watched Marie, I thought-well where does the cleaning come in?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
The challenge for me in most homes is they hire me to clean, but I really didn’t feel I can properly clean due to the amount of stuff in the home. Our fees are a little higher- because we do “pile” items to get to the baseboards and areas that collect dirt. My next idea was to work in teams, so that the work can get done in an effective time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
However, this meant bringing employees. This created headache on all sides. My company grew fast, and then after two years we closed. I was back to being just me. I kept 14 clients, and I find myself sad, and very tired.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I decided last month to look for an entirely different career, but still keep my foot in the door of what I am passionate about- coaching, changing environment. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I watched the entire series of Marie in one sitting. Then I researched her website. I was shocked to learn, that to be a consultant, I had to do my own house. I have yet to host a book club party at my house due to, two people combining their items in a new marriage and finding space in a 700 square foot place. I was not happy with our space and I felt that many of my items at first were not here, and now just bulged out everywhere. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Running a small company, bringing joy to other people left me not having any joy in my own life or in my environment.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Next, I ordered Marie’s Book, step two. After chapter one, I made a video of my first room- my office. I also noticed that some of my clients were also starting Marie’s plan in their homes, and I found this super exciting to show up and see the way they were applying her methods to their space.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
One of the articles I read when I first started my company was, “Name 21 items a professional organizer does not want to see in your home” This was a quiz I gave my employees and applied to our policies as a company. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
An example of this that is a most common item is the toothbrush. Electric, handheld or large water piks…This is a hygienic item you use to clean with, just like a toilet bowl scrubber or a plunger. First the electric toothbrush holder has to be completely cleaned at the base. Then a cover put on the Bristles to prevent toxic splatter on mirrors, walls and in the air. It is stored away, so the space looks clean and clutter free. You really only need to charge a good electric toothbrush , once a month- so the base does not need to be out. The charger can be put in a drawer and the brush standing upright in a cabinet. If you need the charger- you can drill a small hold under the cabinet to charge it or against the wall inside the cabinet. My first career was as a dental assistant, believe it or not.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
The plunger should go in the cleaning closet, and now a days you can buy concealed toilet bowl cleaners.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Other items are magazines, piles of keys, coat racks, shoes racks. Shoes should not come inside. Shoes track germs. A flat enclosed case by the door and also heels in a closed case in your room, flush with the wall. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Many women like to show off their shoes, class is not defined not by what we have. When you die, shoes will not be going with you. I also don’t think your family will want the shoes as an inheritance. I love shoes, I have somewhere like 200. I have them boxed in seasons, and the ones I use during the season are out. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I look at my office and the first thing that comes to mind is, I need an entirely new look- so I ordered a special shelf. Before it gets here, I need to find out what brings me joy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Some of the things I impulse buy on a regular basis is journals, books on business, self-journey books, crafting supplies, office supplies and art materials. I keep papers from web information, seminars I’ve gone too, and yes magazines for vison boarding. This is going to be a hard journey for me. My clients currently are so over joyed every time I clean and do some small organizing task in their home, its time I help myself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I am procrastinating thou…I decided to go look for pretty boxes at Micheals and write this blog, before actually going into the room. I can’t sort with crap everywhere! Let’s be real here!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Please stay tuned for more on my journey, and please share yours! Id love to hear any help ideas or simply what you are doing!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Who am I? This is the never-ending question. In brief, I was
a single parent of two who worked a lot and had struggles. My financial
hardship came to a head in 2007. I lost everything, I wrote about it, including the stream of hilarious dating scenarios I went on in Vancouver Canada, I went to
therapy, stayed with a friend who supported me, and I supported her threw her
divorce. I started to reinvent myself in 2015 when I met my husband and we started
dating, I worked at a private school in Chilliwack, made a new life, tons of
great friendships, who are still very special to me today. I also at that time,
took a fitness course and got some what fit. I took part in taking seniors
for walks and I loved it.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">When it was time for me to be with my husband, I decided to
re-write the script of my life. This was no easy task. Career change and identity
change, for me was the hardest thing to do at age 49, because my 10-year profession was not recognized in the USA, it offered
very little pay. I never give up on life situations, I am pretty much a
fighter. My husband and I had talked about the hardships of a new company, I was willing to take that risk and fight on.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I had an amazing boss back in 2012 who taught me several
different things in his company, I took one lesson with me, I thought I could
do very well. I created a brand, a purpose and yes a mission statement. Most times my little cleaning business
only pays for my girls who work for me. This is the starting faze. The company
is mine, I worked hard for this with the help of my husband, and many friends who support me locally.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I went to Zumba and I met fun women, I went to writing
clubs, non-profit events, networking. I also went to women’s bible
studies.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I created my own social circle
by opening my heart and just being me. There were almost zero past friends knocking
on my door for an entire year I was stuck in the USA, with the exception of a few, one lived here- she rarely invited me out, due to kids, a career and her new marriage and new home. So I got out, this is what I do- I’m the lady that will
show up with a pie and say, chick flicks and shoot the shit this afternoon? I’m
the lady who will walk up to a homeless person and say, hey you wanna grab
lunch? I have had many friendships with husbands and kids and busy lifestyles, we always made time for each other, if it meant something. I also have never asked for approval from my husband to have relationships, or adventures with women. I think my husband would respect me less if I did.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
W<span style="font-family: "calibri";">hen I met my husband I realized there was a
whole world of a different type of breed of men out there, I realized I wanted friendships
that where empowering, giving, and sincere. My husband is my best friend. My whole life I have had
circles of friendships everywhere. Friendships where I don’t need dam approval,
they love my craziness, those who didn't left, or I was all of a sudden unavailable, moving on to my next adventure, meeting someone new who could teach me something. " If you are willing to....regard every person you meet along the way as a lesson"</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">To make a long story short, I did the fucking work to re-write
my script. Its my script. Its not for anyone else to decide on who I am, but me,
or what my personality is -especially if they are only present for moments of
time. Friendships take work, and you will rarely hear me speak ill of a person publically, I just don't believe in that sort of thing, shaming people, for what? Unless its Donald Trump.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I decided after the happiness and bliss of eating and
gaining 40 pounds it was time to shed some serious weight, so I could backpack Europe
and toss my grandkids in the air and have fun with my boys in the future. My Goal for 2018 was to be the best I could be, and hire someone that would look at specific needs for my, my age...my whining.. I hired the best in town. The stipulation was I had to do one competition show in my peak form.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Every person I have met threw marketing my company or threw friends
of friends, social functions or just real friendships have supported me in my journey with fitness and my company. These people have really opened my heart. The women on my team push me and help me to be the best I can be, and I'm not perfect, non of us are. We are all there to pick each other up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Then there's the haters…...</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Sometimes when you are well, and you do change internally
others may not view this positively.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">You see when you are broken, you attract certain types of
people, when you heal you may outgrow these people, if they do not grow with
you. When you hurt internally you hurt people. When you are lost internally,
you loose people. If you really want to be a part of something, I feel in this world you have to throw yourself in with two feet.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I am all for, bringing my old friendships into my new ones,
but if the criticism is there- you missed the fucking boat. Because this is my
script, not yours. Do your own work, or ask to be part of it at least.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Some old friendships shocked me with coming forth and restarting whole new chapter in my life, these girls are my ROOTS- you know who you are; MKW, My Mish! and TD,KV,KB,CM <3 font=""></3></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">If you want something in life, you must work for it. If you
want to have a private life and a few selective friends, be a minimalist, do
it- go do what makes you happy-its your story, live in a hole for all I, fucking
care, whatever you feel you need to do in your life, do it.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I will applaud you for what you do that makes
you happy if you are a friend of mine.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The people we criticize for success, will continue on in life, trust me, and have
their light shinning brightly.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Criticizing
what people have as possessions, is something you feel you are missing. I once
had one friend who stated I drove a Beemer (BMW) after being bankrupt, that I
was on the corporate ladder to success. Who am I going to fuck to get there, Id
like to know. The corporate ladder is me, its all me.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>My vehicle has no
bearing on who I am or what status I hold. By the way, it is a 13-year-old BMW,
with 150000 miles on it, and was a gift from my husband so I could have a
reliable vehicle to come see him. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">When people are in pain, they are soon to forget what you
did for them, what kind of friend you were to them. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I forgive all the time. But I don’t forget.
The best thing to do, is shut off the noise immediately. Remove that person
from words. Words can be powerful things to someone, just like money. No Fucks
Given.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Move on with grace. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">When you realize you are sparing verbally with a friend,
that friend is out the door.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">For example, if you surround yourself with positive people,
that positivity will rub off on you. If you are a positive person, negativity can
really kill your soul- so just cut that crap at the start.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">If your liaison with powerful people with wealth or knowledge,
those things will be more likely to attract toward you. That's from the 48 laws of power.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Be who you want to be, and people who love you will stand
with you.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Why am I writing this? Well like a battleship in the night,
with zero warning I had some haters, via text and Facebook. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There was no phone call to discuss, just
verbal messages of what a shit person I was. You want to be part of my group,
but you criticize the entire group?? My old friend mentioned hazing? Who does
that? What is that?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The new group of friends I have, rotate dinner parties, like
church studies, sister clubs. We are welcomed into their homes. How would you
feel if I brought 2-3 people into your place you don’t know? Just because you
have a group of people there? There is no hazing, there is getting to know
people prior to see if you are a good personality match to the group. If you
are super shy and timid, you may not want to discuss how many pairs of
underwear you have in your drawer. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Its really that simple.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>I have been battling my old friendships for some time, two I dumped-
sorry I don’t drink to get hammered, judge people publicly or smoke. I don’t have
time for that crap. I do have time for climbing mountains, creating art, and
talking about helping people in need or business, or a movie. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Then there was the friend who fell in love with a guy and
moved away on my wedding week, she was the maid of honor- that was a real slice
of heaven during that week. Then there was many who, if I missed an event in Canada
or couldn’t get out there, well they <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">decided
for me</b> that I completely had no time or room for them in my life. They didn’t
ask me or call me and say hey lady- I really miss you, lets hang out. That is
what mature women do. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">You put endless effort into friendships…and when your effort
stops because you are living life- you’re an asshole. I am ok with being an
Asshole, many people cherish this aspect of me, and my potty mouth and my,
quote un quote – unprofessionalism on Facebook. As I have mentioned before Facebook
is a joke to me, it’s a façade of your life of what really is your life, for me
its just another media entertainment source. Except for my professional pages, which
are separate.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">While re-writing my script, I come along many people that
just keep me in awe, they are like super special people, with lessons and
mentorship and love so great it comes out of them. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">My trainer who studies Buddhism, always starts our team
meetings with power, light and positivity. This woman has enough grace for a
small country, she has changed my life. My trainer is a strong woman, who does
not believe in failure or cants, there is no such thing in her world and she
has given me this power somewhat. I still complain and make weird noises in the
gym- but she just does not give up on me ever. The greatest things, I take away
from my trainer is; If you don’t ask, …..</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This applies to everything in life, If you don’t ask how
will you know? How will you receive? How will you learn? Listen to my message here.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The very first women I ever met in Bellingham, I stopped
going to therapy discussing my career identity and hardship of missing my kids
and instead met with her and found that to have spiritual guidance is
important, in everything, she is silly and fun, on top of that she has true
spiritual guidance that helps her focus on her daily life- this has brushed off
on me, it sets the day.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I met a writer Jessi, that writes about outrageous women,
she came up to me and told me I am that type of person, I light up a room. Now
moving forward after reading her book and seeing her adventures and being
around her, I want her to be a dear friend of mine- I want to know her more and
I want to have adventures forever.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">There are many women I have met that just fuel my fire, from
artists to neighbours to business women, to new family, to amazing penpals in Australia, it never stops for me- I love communication and relationships, so if you feel left out- If you don't ask......</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">People who engage with me weekly, work with me know how professional
I am and how hardworking I am, and I know it- so that’s really all that should
matter. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I want my work to be fun, we
laugh, we listen to music. I want my employers to be wowed- Its hard work, so
after the fun, my team gets down to it hard.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>I put knowledge and value on our work, we are not based on an hourly
rate, or if there are two people x number of hours- we are based on work we do
differently then the rest, overhead, and training. If you know what’s true in
your heart, then hey, the rest is just Bullshit.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Let your light shine threw the Bullshit.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Peace out</span></div>

<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>What I enjoyed most about my experience with this Blog Challenge;</u></b></span><br />
<br />
When trying to find new innovative things to write about, and stay within modern times, this can be challenging in itself. I enjoyed reviewing other peoples blogs to see what I was missing and learning different styles and new technology. I love education, and I feel this challenge was a actual class to build on, thanks to Natalie Sisson, I was able to complete it. I also enjoyed reviewing my own brain and what's in there, stepping outside the box. I really enjoyed the podcast from Natalie every morning with my coffee, I felt like I had a personal coach.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u><b>My favorite challenge was Day 6-</b></u></span> Who is living the life I want and who are my superhero's. I did write about people in my local community who are inspiring to me, and received amazing comments and personal thanks, and how can I help. I wrote about my two superstars, and then I wrote them and told them I wrote about them, Seth Godin actually sent me a personal email!<br />
<br />
What I didn't elaborate on was the superhero's I was thinking about while writing the challenge.<br />
My Amazing mother with her wit and creative mind. My amazing sons, who have grown so much in their personal accomplishments, my adoring husband. My husbands family who have accepted me as their own. These are my own superhero's I think about on a daily basis. This challenge has given me gratitude for what I have and who I have in my life.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>The biggest takeaway</u></b></span><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"> -</span>The biggest takeaway from this challenge is the lessons learned, to stay motivated and work on things everyday. To put this in action is the big takeaway, not just dream it, but work on it everyday. I loved getting my imagination going again, talking about it and feeling like I'm going to take action.<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>The Next Step to make my freedom plan a reality!</u></b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;">The next step for me besides winning this challenge and going to Bali, and having the best time of my life, is focus every day. Stick to <span style="color: #cfe2f3;">My Successful Day Plan</span> every day, write new challenges and goals for myself.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I highly recommend this 10 blog challenge for anyone! It has opened new doors for me and gotten me to believe in myself again. Thank You Natalie Sisson for making this happen!</div>

<span style="color: #38761d;">Day 9 Natalie's Sisson's 10 day Blog Challenge; To Imagine you are on a long holiday in Portugal (or wherever your dream destination is). There are castles to explore, secret bars to discover, and sunny beaches to laze around on. In today’s post, I want you to write about how you will balance your adventure and work while you are away on this holiday.</span><br />
<br />
<b><i><u><span style="color: #38761d;">My Holiday</span></u></i></b>: I have booked an Air BNB on a family vineyard, the place is on a cliff buff, and below is the very blue ocean, this is in Spain. I must feed the farm animals as its part of the stay, this includes chickens, goats, a few sheep. The schedule requires a early rise, to take care of the animals. The family has left me with some names of locals to meet, so that I can get a feel of the culture.<br />
<br />
I wake up to the humid air and ocean breeze, I have decided to convert my two hours of exercise into caring for the hobby farm, put this into the plan, as to not disrupt my routine. I am finished the grunt work by 9am, and am able to squeeze a hour in on my laptop, before venturing out into the town. I have a portable iPad to record anything from my adventure into my work. This trip I had networked to meet a few ladies to give a talk on what I am doing.<br />
<br />
After meeting the town and checking things out, I am invited to go on a small sail trip. I jump at the opportunity. The sail trip includes dinner and wine.<br />
<br />
After a amazing day, I spend a hour winding down, checking my online company, few emails- and call it a night. Tomorrow I decide is a day of photography, maybe get down some writing about Spain.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I've been thinking about during this challenge is how to make this a reality, and I have somewhat started this already. For the next 6 to 8 months I will have the time to explore my options on my work. While on Vacation. I have never taken a vacation any longer than 7 to 14 days, now I am on a extended amount of vacation. I have been in Bellingham for about 6 weeks. Every week end has been a adventure of sorts in different areas of Washington.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the last year it has been travel after travel, Northern BC, California, Oregon, All across the states. During this time my communications have stayed the same for the most part. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I hope to have is a company that will generate on its own, and a Tribe who will keep me accountable and in check. I hope to have my own passion as part of my work.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">Upcoming Trip:</span> The next 10 months will be focusing on a extended trip to Africa, to work with a school in Tanzania, most importantly we hope to generate a few things in place before we go. My routine for the morning will stay the same in any location I am in. I am adaptable that way. My Bulk Day of work hopefully will be incorporated into that vacation, meeting people, being local. We have talked about living 6 months of the year in another destination, and in about 2 to 5 years hope to accomplish a homestead of sorts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If I am able to learn the strong building blocks for generating income while abroad via, and adjust my time schedules, I will accomplish what I had hoped. I love to write about my experiences and people I have met along the way. I am ready and excited to start everything fresh!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just writing in this blog challenge has got me in tuned with the work ahead. I am so grateful!</div>

<b>The Challenge From Natalie Sisson</b> : Like I said, today is a fun day. So I want you to go out and do something that you’ve wanted to do for a long time. Go out play, enjoy, and come back and write about what you did. Also, write about how you can make such adventures part of your new lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Life is about adventures and stepping out of your comfort zone. This weekend I was to spend it on Cameno Island, celebrating a 10 year anniversary and my birthday with close family. My husband will be away on my actual birthday.<br />
<br />
I explained that I had this blog challenge, and that I had to create a adventure. I was surprised!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
My husband recently bought a bike, and his cousin (brother) bought 3 bikes. We have agreed that myself and my husbands cousin wife would be riding by March 2017, classes are set up for the end of September. So this weekend, my brother in law surprised me! with bringing some bikes he had just recently bought. In hopes the women would get on them. Today is stormy, tomorrow will be a nice day.<br />

Today the goal was to get me in the gear and on the bike, with a lesson on throttle, clutch gears, brake.<br />

I have ridden a moped several times.<br />
Life is about stepping outside your comfort zonee. Life is also short, live it to the fullest! Here are a few Videos of the gear try on, and the lesson!<br />
Super exciting! These bikes are HUGE! LOL<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I could not connect the clips into one.<br />

The more you experience in life, the more you will feel accomplished and whole, today was a great day! I continue to live adventures on a monthly basis. Sometimes adventure can be in your very own back yard, maybe you have never painted before or gardened, maybe you think you have zero skill...but all of this is trial and error, give it a shot! You may be happy with the results.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For today’s challenge I want you to pick one imperfect action that you can take every day that will move you closer to the life you have envisioned. It could be 5 minutes of walking or meditation, or even just continuing the momentum of this challenge and keep writing 200 words a day on your blog. Pick that one imperfect action and write a post about why you chose the particular action and what you imagine it will be like if you do it every day for the next 30 days.#<b>10DBC</b> <b>#freedomplan </b><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I wish it could be as simple as those three words, I guess it really can be that simple.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u><b>My Procrastination:</b></u></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have the ability, to leave things, to know where I left off on each thing, by the end of the day its all squared away. You guessed it, Squirrel- I have ADD. I am the best multitasker there is, I do pay attention to detail as well, everything is neatly organized, just partly unfinished.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: magenta; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>My Overwhelm:</u></b></span><br />
<b><u><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta; font-family: "georgia";"><br /></span></u></b>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The fear of success been a evil seed in my being for many years. After being in this challenge it is apparent to me, that my entire blog and website needs a complete overhaul, this is overwhelming.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So here's what I have been doing since this challenge, after the day is finished at night.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfiZ8_QAwaUH444tF_gZ0o-QokzsyACNlNTEIyD5xGMsUGRjXajS53Obt0nV-WdEnjgHBeREaZRRTr09xqQjt_jOX0z2jVnQRav5EJvChSKJu_ODkDmPsYyxjbd9do2MPsHlCC_o7PsM8/s1600/chuck+it+bucket.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfiZ8_QAwaUH444tF_gZ0o-QokzsyACNlNTEIyD5xGMsUGRjXajS53Obt0nV-WdEnjgHBeREaZRRTr09xqQjt_jOX0z2jVnQRav5EJvChSKJu_ODkDmPsYyxjbd9do2MPsHlCC_o7PsM8/s200/chuck+it+bucket.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Go to word press</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pick a template</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">start the new template,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">look for the template</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">look at my old website</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">wonder where the stuff came from on my old website</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfiZ8_QAwaUH444tF_gZ0o-QokzsyACNlNTEIyD5xGMsUGRjXajS53Obt0nV-WdEnjgHBeREaZRRTr09xqQjt_jOX0z2jVnQRav5EJvChSKJu_ODkDmPsYyxjbd9do2MPsHlCC_o7PsM8/s1600/chuck+it+bucket.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">look at other peoples websites</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">leave it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">go back to net flicks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This challenge has sparked me to just get back to writing again, almost like the journaling I used to do every morning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The plan for me starting this Monday, is to get clear and make use of the trail and ocean by my apartment. To Follow the steps of my successful day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This will be the very first thing of the day. I do feel focused and ready for the day after exercise. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I then set slots of time for writing and my web page. If I can stick to the plan, I should have a amazing website and accomplished more than I imagined.</span><br />

This was a challenge indeed! In this challenge we have to go beyond Natalie, reach for the stars, I have my 3 superstars; Natalie, Seth Godin and Brené Brown . I have my home town mentors and superstars to me personally, originally all from Vancouver BC. Then I have my closest family and my new community. The larger Tribe the better I say!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCxcnvQZwsO7k9Fo63DEtmbYUYzNHU9MV1h2fmVBdtOAfv8B67ohW5To_4gKFxZDozwWf7hLO5ZjxxPNS6eQ7Vccob0geYoVp4_NBxPHp3PpPQ3uNtp8qju7PwdE7OmWYGu4MhQfADlzs/s1600/Dancing-Penguins-34278.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="140" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCxcnvQZwsO7k9Fo63DEtmbYUYzNHU9MV1h2fmVBdtOAfv8B67ohW5To_4gKFxZDozwWf7hLO5ZjxxPNS6eQ7Vccob0geYoVp4_NBxPHp3PpPQ3uNtp8qju7PwdE7OmWYGu4MhQfADlzs/s200/Dancing-Penguins-34278.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The Number One Person I'd Have In My Tribe, is Natalie </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Sisson.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I have been following this lovey women since she launched her book! I was at one point, so close in meeting Natalie at a book signing, but I never made it. I have asked Natalie questions in the past, will you write a blurb in my book. I have asked questions over the years, that most people ask Natilie.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I downloaded The Suitcase </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Entrepreneur</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> on my old laptop years ago, and the laptop died! I got about two chapters into the book before this happened. I now have the book on order. </span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">If I met Natalie in person, my first question would be, "Do you want to get a glass of wine?" Then I would ask probably all the questions people have already asked her. I do have one sort of question. When I was in Vancouver and going to all the big </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">entrepreneur</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> seminars at the Pan Pacific, Did you go to those? Those multi level marketing events, or with the panel of women who speak events? Did </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">you feel</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> that any of that was worth your time? At the end of it all, its a massive sales pitch. I would also ask, besides the people who buy online, how do you find where you want to go and what you want to do? Do you say, "I think Id like to give a speech in France?" Who does your back office, All the general questions. I would then ask, if she could join me, not in a surf lesson, but a dive lesson with Jason Sugar in </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Isla</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Mujeres</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">. Natalie you are inspirational to me because of how you approach your audience in your podcasts. Simple, helps any type of person, and I always hear something new. Amazing speaker. You'd have to be in my Tribe.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;"><u><b>Seth </b></u></span><span style="color: #93c47d;"><u><b>Godin</b></u></span>-I love the mini books Seth has written, the easy small books where you can just pick up the book and have instant gratification. If I met Seth, I would ask him how much research did he have to do on his own to make this happen. How many and who were in his tribe? I have been a sheepwalker for a long time, letting my dreams sit in the belly of my gut- After I started reading Seth's books, I felt like I had instant intelligence. This is a inspiration to me to know that gradual is not always that important, simple clean information. I really love Seth's books! I feel like I have taken some accountability for my life. My question to Seth would be, I a nut shell to the above, please, share your secrets.<br />

Always good to have a professor, on your tribe, especially one that has done research. What's better than to awaken your day with a great quote. Brené Bown, has spent the past thirteen years studying vulnerability, courage, worthiness, and shame. Well there you have it, Self help is always good to have on the tribe, If I met , Brené I would ask for a personal coach session and one of her books signed and given to me, if you don't ask you will never know. There is a reason you help others, always. The whole basis of what Brené teaches is a inspiration to me.</div>

<br />
Jason Sugar had a small dive shop in New Westminster BC on Diving, his dream was to be a diving coach and more, what appealed to me most was his coarse: First Breath. I have a deep water fear and wanted to take the coarse, but he had up and moved to paradise. He is living his dream and I support his media everywhere. He welcomed me to take the coarse at a discounted rate, however I would of had to fly to his remote Island, Isla Mujeres. My question to Jason if I ever saw him again, would be will I ever get over my fear of deep water? and he would say, Yes. Sometimes fear goes deeper into our souls- I am sure that would be something that Jason could pull out of me if I made it out to have a coach session.<br />

<br />
So if you ever want to visit Isla Mujeres, Jason sugar is your man, below are some great photos from Jason's page. I truly know I will one day be taking First Breath. The fact that Jason took a risk, and decided this is the life he was going to have, is a true inspiration to me.<br />

Frances was a event planner way back in the day. I went to most of her events, they were fun, mostly business related where you could give out your cards and social network. Frances has really kicked up her heels and now has her own company and has been in several magazines in Vancouver. I recently connected with Frances, and If she does indeed decide to come have lunch with me, I have a million questions; "Whose in your love life?" "What's the word?" "How did this all happen? " "Who did you approach?" The list would go on, why? because she is actually a girlfriend Id like to know better. Frances Hui, wasn't a sell out- she believed in herself and encourages women everywhere on business.<br />

<br />
Lyndi and I go way back, Lyndi was a production assistant for Vancouver Fashion Week and I was a manager and makeup artist of a million dollar counter in downtown Vancouver, I decided to go to fashion school and had created vintage scarfs you could wear about 20 different ways, so that, not just skinny girls could wear them, but also pregnant women and BBW women. Lyndi decided to put me in the show. I met with her quite a few times during that year and knew she wanted to be a editor of a fashion magazine. Well 20 years later on my facebook she has risen to that title. Lyndi just got back from New York, she illustrates fresh clean attire. If I would see her again, I would be ready , maybe with something I designed, and ask her to put my design in her magazine. Designing again...oh the thought, its there- I hoped to have my own label- Anything is possible. I would also ask Lyndi to get me a seat at New York Fashion Week with her. Lyndi spent years of hard work before she got her shot, and the jobs leading up to her great career were not great, some of them I believe she didn't even get paid. Most of Vancouver Fashion Week back in the day was volunteer hours, I also worked for free as a makeup artist at the events, long hours. Blood Sweat and Tears, but she never gave up and saw her vision the entire time.<br />
<br />
All these people above are huge mentors for me, I also have mentors right here in my own town who support me and would help me start what I want to do. <br />
<br />
The big shots are Natalie Sisson hands down and Seth Godin, Brené Brown, for Marketing, feedback on marketing my business in a professional way and also helping me with a book, streamlining to specifics. The steps to do it right! This challenge is providing me with a wealth of knowledge, and also its a wake up call to get things moving again.<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">Who would be my tribe?</span><br />
<br />
For the next 6 months: My Husband, Wild Bird Foundation. The Wild Bird Foundation is a small group of men, all colorful and different who want to make a change in our community, one being my husband. They started a non profit organization, the first is dealing with homelessness here in the community, I hold a part in working with dreams, of single moms in crisis. I hope to write a story on a few of the people involved in this group.<br />
<br />
My group of girlfriends who always give me support and ideas, back in Vancouver.<br />
<br />
I have recently networked with a new group of women in Bellingham, one is a graphic designer, I was going to invite her for lunch and see what her thoughts are, some are artists. One women I worked with recently, <span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b><u>Yvette Newman</u></b> <a href="http://www.creativelifeadventuresnw.com/">http://www.creativelifeadventuresnw.com/</a></span><br />
is a well known artist, marketing her own Art. I won a 3 day scholarship to her studio, it was very amazing. Her story will be on my blog after the challenge. I will be talking to her more about marketing and networking in my area.<br />
<br />
Well that's my Tribe! I hope to at some point have some of these amazing people join me in my journey. This was a longer blogpost than I thought, I just didn't want to leave the very most important mentors to me out of this challenge.<br />

I am going to be real here, I am not a morning person during that lovely time of month that meets women every 28 days, in fact it is during this time, where time stops for me. However. We are on a Challenge here, A Life Change...giddy up and here we go. 1,2,3...GO<br />
<br />
Well, I have a lot of time on my hands, kids are grown up, husband works all day, I've committed to a few things for myself which has not really been done yet- It is hard to release 25 years of stress to be quite honest. You may think what the hell is she complaining about? When your body runs on stress 24/7, the body needs time to heal. I have been tired, fatigued. Scattered.<br />
<br />
A typical day in past, was prep my meals in evening, up at 6am, eat, small workout, go to job one, dealing with trauma based children,then job two, outreach worker, home by 8-10pm, eat, do my agenda for the next day, possibly stay up late and write. One day a week with the boyfriend, Sundays volunteer at the YMCA, take a small coarse was thrown in there, meet with friends one day a week, check up on my mother and son. One day visit with my grandson, run on for two weeks, then pay bills, worry about bills not paid, and go the next two weeks. I had a office that was full of bright agendas and creative things in the works that never got done. I worried about a lot of people in my life. <br />
<br />
Currently, there is no time schedule, no office, no work. I cannot go to Canada, so I cannot visit mother son, kids. Not until my dual citizenship is complete. My largest concern right now, is working on my health, my mindset and looking after things for my husband until I do return to work, playing with the cats. I can volunteer, and have chosen a few- but not yet. Yup pretty sweet right? I am trying to become unconditioned to my past stressful life- it is very hard. It is like a homeless person winning the lottery.<br />

<br />
<b><u>The New Daily Success Plan</u></b><br />
<br />
A)I will dedicate 2 hours to fitness in the morning. 6am to 8am, run meditate, yoga gym. It would be really helpful, if a few of my girlfriends would call me at 6am- Lets see who responds to that, and after two hours also- to see that I've done it. <br />
<br />
B) I will set aside, 25 minutes of writing, 8-830- No one call me at this time. Finish one book. I have several that have started, I have not looked at my work for over 8 months.<br />
<br />
C) One hour to work on my website. 9-10am- I have done zero marketing here in Bellingham. I will be working on this for that one hour. I also need to feed into my media outlets when the website is complete, advertise. .<br />
<br />
D) The bulk of the day: 10-3pm<br />
I am not allowed to work in the states yet, I can volunteer my services as research for my company. I can also volunteer for my husbands company, where I will be working with young mothers in crisis, and other areas of need in Watcom County.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My consultations are free, "For a 6 month time period if you are the right candidate, I am offering you free service! Meet with me today...smiley face."<br />
<br />
Therefore I now have several "free Consultations" in my email, I will pick 1 interviews and consult. I will schedule them. I will dedicate a 2 hour window, to talk on the phone, hopefully meet up. Working on my own, or my husbands company.<br />
<br />
Getting Clear on what I do; I organize peoples lives. Its as simple as that- In slots of time, from home to lifestyle, clearer vision on dreams, wellness, fitness. This can be done anywhere. The physical organization is contracted out, which quite often is the home. The Management organization can be done from anywhere. <br />
<br />
E) 5pm-8pm is spend on my husband, dinner, a walk- talking<br />
F) 9-10 My time if I choose, reading research, more writing. Art is important to me, so 2 days a week is a art day.<br />
<br />
There is a lot in the daily plan that I have not worked out yet, meal prep (its a big deal, type 2 diabetes and my husbands an athlete) Social time, My husband has a massive social arena- due to his title. <br />
<br />
I feel this is a good start, I just need to start it. I think Monday is a good time. I will keep you posted on how it all goes. I think if I stick to this time schedule, I will feel like I have routine in my day, I will feel accomplished. I have never worked solely for myself, with my own interests at heart. I have tried to fit my own business in, on top of all my jobs, probably why it failed.<br />
<br />
I have always served others. I realize over the years, there are parts of this that are me. I am a caregiver and I enjoy helping peoples lives. <br />
<br />
I have had to break down the different areas of what I like to do. Do I like to work for a union, 9-5 and do personal care and whatever it takes to give a person quality of life? No, that time has passed. That was called burn out. I do however love working with men and women who want to make change and are willing to work with me to really change there life into a life of wellness. I do like creating beauty in chaos. I love finding out that a person is willing to try new things, and find things about themselves they never realized. I love problem solving. I love relationships with people.<br />
<br />
This is what I love. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love to organize, spaces, peoples agenda's, efficiency. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I loved it because once the mess was gone there was a clean slate to re stage a home, and re stage someones life. If they were ready to do it and do the steps and process to get it done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What other people say about me, my husband said I'm invisible, things magically get put into place. I am great with people. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My friends say I am a hard worker, I listen, am compassionate. <br />
Recently, I was talking with a mother of 6 children, we are going to have her give a talk about her life at a non profit group- our group, to help mothers in crisis. After the meeting was almost to a close, I suggested to her;</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Make a list of 10 things you want, 10 things you need, and 10 things you will have. ( A promise to yourself) Break it down to 5, for each, Use this for your speech. The social worker called after the meeting and said I was amazing. I felt really good about it. In some situations I will use a visual tool to get this across as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wherever this takes me, my profession will be with people and making changes. I love to create, so I will have that also, and I love to teach.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't like to sell. This is my weak link- I would like to get to a place where things just sell themselves because what I have to offer is so amazing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The Perfect Day -http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/10-day-blog-challenge/10dbc-day-3<br />
<br />
I am to write my perfect day, how I envision the perfect day to be. So here goes. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqgXCRwEYgPfgOv7JtZkWsaEa6jWtbKDjIyTBF640dqNPOtTLbqzfDVNIg7G_HzFemDp1o6Pilw6JKJ5sCre10KBzyg4zL8xnp0S0GIr5bOETjYsUGNQdiilfqKkA37dGvrLn8iSTeJZk/s1600/IMG_0624.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqgXCRwEYgPfgOv7JtZkWsaEa6jWtbKDjIyTBF640dqNPOtTLbqzfDVNIg7G_HzFemDp1o6Pilw6JKJ5sCre10KBzyg4zL8xnp0S0GIr5bOETjYsUGNQdiilfqKkA37dGvrLn8iSTeJZk/s200/IMG_0624.JPG" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqgXCRwEYgPfgOv7JtZkWsaEa6jWtbKDjIyTBF640dqNPOtTLbqzfDVNIg7G_HzFemDp1o6Pilw6JKJ5sCre10KBzyg4zL8xnp0S0GIr5bOETjYsUGNQdiilfqKkA37dGvrLn8iSTeJZk/s1600/IMG_0624.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>I wake up and have a good snuggle with my husband. I actually get up today, because I had a great sleep and it is 6am, I love to be always the crazy one, so we would argue on fat reduced breakfast or fattening pancakes...Since I have moved to the states, I feel like I'm on the road to rich food, and lard ass. I truly believe I have been skinny my whole life because I was starving.<br />
<br />
After all that is done, Id hit my trail for a short run. The trail is enclosed in ancient old trees, and it is quiet, I see bunnies and deer along my run, as well as other joggers. The trail opens up to the ocean with a boardwalk, along there are little beach embankments that are most often empty, I sit by the water and do meditation and a 15 minute Yoga, to stretch out my muscles.<br />
Kind of similar to Natalie Sisson, but that's what I used to do, never on a trail, and never by the ocean. I was in a better frame of mind when I disciplined myself. So I need to utilize the fact that I have a gorgeous trail and ocean in front of my apartment.<br />
<br />
I then would have a appointment with my physical trainer, this could be at a gym, outdoors or life coach.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

10am, I would then go home and spend one to two hours on writing, and checking my email and setting my goals for the day.<br />
<br />
Noon would be a meeting and lunch, possibly a brain storm on marketing ideas or research, with my amazing group of people who have joined me in work.<br />
<br />
I would spend the rest of the afternoon, seeing people till about 3pm. This may include new locations, appointments, research, so forth.<br />
<br />
4pm I'm in my Art Studio, for a hour. This is just a little house for now, surrounded by gardens. My Art studio is where I do all my own illustrations and marketing, my graphic artist may come by today to work with me over some tea. I am learning how to take sketches and canvas to computer, this is a must for my original work, and I have not learnt it yet. I also am learning how to utilize my photos and videos on my website. <br />
<br />
Dinner time is made and spent with my husband, afterward we always watch the sunset with a short hike or walk. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfVot-z7CT12qW-DIBR_pzeK7vzy8S2Ns6GbV9xkfdV_c5KlzsmfapL0abkLRXO3H_qTx62_3kMYR2EwM2uLPeHsgbmayaYcXg2IPCYemyTq82ssv3kOZirmySYv2YVtfWEW2xqMhJPUU/s1600/IMG_9192.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>
<br />
We talk about our day and plan the week, and decide on our own adventures, this includes our community and projects we are working on. Currently we are on a homeless project in Bellingham, 751 homeless people, currently, with a high ratio of youth. We are researching projects in our community to be of help.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfVot-z7CT12qW-DIBR_pzeK7vzy8S2Ns6GbV9xkfdV_c5KlzsmfapL0abkLRXO3H_qTx62_3kMYR2EwM2uLPeHsgbmayaYcXg2IPCYemyTq82ssv3kOZirmySYv2YVtfWEW2xqMhJPUU/s1600/IMG_9192.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>We also are involved in a soccer school for boys in Tanzania, and help in fundraising and creating sustainable income for the boys, the founder of this company, started teaching the boys how to build things, first chicken coops, doors and now guitars. So we are always thinking of ideas for new projects for our dear friend and hope to make a second trip, me included this time!<br />
<br />
I have launched my website and am working on a book. We may chat about the latest work. Talk about what we will work on.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We live 4-6 months away, from our home base, so we take a hour to discuss our next 6 months, or section of it. Our location is in tropical area, we have a small space there, this allows us to work in other countries, where we can do research and liaison internationally.<br />
<br />
The last hours of the day, are spent reading a good book nuzzled up with my sweetie and our sweet cats at the foot of the bed. May include some "Sexy Time", but the cats have to leave if that happens.<br />
<br />
Soon we will have Napoleon, he will be here in a few years, he is a French bulldog and will be a character in a children's series I am working on. <br />
<br />
My little pug ( her name was fat sushi) passed away two years ago, she was my life companion, so we have agreed on a dog. After the travelling, or he may just very well come with.<br />
<br />
I am pretty content, I gotta say. This is my perfect day!<br />

I get grief all the time from friends, why do you broadcast your life on line? I had one person stat that I was embarrassing talking about how broke I was, how life was just a shit show in Vancouver, I wrote several Posts called, 365 Days Rent Free, as a Suitcase Boarder. I had just given up and refused to pay rent any longer for a year. I put this in my blog to the universe and instantly my life changed. There is one difference, that people over look about me and hardships. I am a survivor, I am positive, and I know that it will always work out- ALWAYS. I banned relationships of any kind with men, I was fed up in that department also.<br />

<br />
<br />
Friends opened their doors, I put things in storage, I worked odd jobs, Canada Post, Outreach , Contract jobs- Pure Freedom. I realized I didn't need my stuff. I was able to clear my head without having the demands of rent and utilities, my stuff, my yard...it all just cleared away. I was able to really put my heart into helping people I was working with rather than worry about my own crap.<br />
I realized, people loved me, they were willing to put me up in their homes, with zero expectations.<br />
<br />
So the above statement was how my life started to shift. I started to involve myself in world events, Soccer for Tanzania, where I could do something. This is how I met my life partner. I now am in the process of immigration and I have a year where I cannot work, my stress is completely gone, my debt in Canada has been reduced from methodically conquering one bill at a time. I am able to explore options, my life partner who indeed found me through a event, supports me in everything I do. I now have a team player. My entire life I have served others, its what I do- I feel the universe gave back.<br />
<br />
The best part is my partner is now looking into .."What's Next?" 30 years in the police force, he randomly decided to get his MBA, open a non -profit company with 4 men, started doing men's retreats. <br />
<br />
My life right now is freedom, I love my life! If you don't have a partner, this doesn't matter- I really believed in something, I believed in myself, I believed that I was not living a life I wanted any longer, it was a full year before I met my partner. If you do things for you, give back to the world, people find you, people want to do whatever it is you are doing- This is the first step; to freedom, to love to financial freedom, to dreams.<br />
<br />
I can now work towards something all my own and share it with the world. I want to publish a few books, I want to coach people on how to have a life of wellness, the people who were in the rat race like I was, thinking you have to live to work, not work to live and adding your passions into your life, and having time to do it!<br />
<br />
Freedom to me is living by your own terms, creating sustainable income that is yours, making you green print on earth, giving back and receiving, gratitude, graciousness.#<b>10DBC</b> <b>#freedomplan </b><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></span></span><br />
<br />
I need to be worldly, meaning travel- to give back, and most importantly to know what is in the world, be humbled by it. <br />
<br />
I had written a book on grief that is a comedy, I sent a chapter review to a psychologist, who I previously worked with in my field. He simply stated, this book needs to be completed, it will be a great addition to a different side on how people deal with grief, he also met with me several times in relation to my blog, my work, stating that I need to get my program clear. I believe that I do need to finish and complete. I stop and start things, not this year!<br />

<br />
Its been quite sometime since I have written, I am writing from my little sun room in Fairhaven, Bellingham Washington over looking the water in my new home, and new life! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
I have had writers block for a time now, mostly because Just A Gurl Blog was mostly about dating in Vancouver, my opinions, local people and trends.. I have had quite a shift in life, and have joined writing groups, art groups here in Fairhaven to try to find a new revamped blog and lifestyle. This will take some time, In the meantime, I have decided to join Natalie Sisson's 10 day blog challenge. <br />
I was following Natalie way back when she came out with her book, which I loved and I was to join a 30 day challenge, however working to live, struggling in Vancouver always left me too busy to find time for anything. Most times I wrote late at night with several glasses of wine, stressed out due to not being able to sleep, the outcome was a very funny blog, now its time to get serious! So here we Go!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Finding Your Focus</u></b><br />
<br />
Day 1 Challenge: Take some time to think about your biggest challenges, then list down 2-3 of them and write a few lines about why you think they are holding you back.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Time Management</u></b>- This was always my challenge, I now have an extraordinary amount of free time, while not saving the world of coarse, however in my brain, which is somewhat ADD, I tend to take on too much at once, I feel that if I make myself overloaded, I can refuse emotions or situations that may be difficult for me to address ( there are many) I need to quiet my brain.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Technical Difficulty</u></b>- I am pretty media savvy, however when it comes to technical writing, I have difficulty, I most times have several editors on my back list when I have to do something professional- girlfriends , professional people all review most important documentation. This is because I am a exceptional Creative Writer and I write before I think, I think quickly and miss details quite often.<br />
<br />
<b><u>What Will I Be When I Grow Up?</u></b> I have had my hand in almost every career possible, the longest is education, mental health & disabilities. I have always written and done art on the side. What brings me joy? I opened up my own company for a year, I gained 6 clients- I organized their life. In every way possible. I mean, mentally and physically- I redid their homes, I managed every hour of their day, I set new goals and expectations, I held them accountable. All were a success. I earned a sustainable income while running my company. However, I was too scare to focus my entire life on this passion, and well, it stopped. My licence ran out. I moved. <br />
<br />
This is my focus! I have one year to make it happen. I have decided to start from the beginning, I have scrapped my over crowded website, and here I am, putting my focus on each day with Natalie for 10 days! Lets ROCK!#<b>10DBC</b> <b>#freedomplan </b><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></span></span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>Gvixenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16939288150732478479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439623810105604035.post-51745230913379469302016-01-07T21:50:00.000-08:002019-01-07T16:42:08.264-08:00Don't Live With A Asshole<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have had a considerable amount of roommates now in my life and I have found I can live with very few. I am OCD, Moody, Grouchy in the am, and a introvert at home. I like my space, I like to read paint, I enjoy my spare time. I also love company, but I don't need it.<br />
<br />
It seems with Vancouver's rising cost of living one cant get by without a roommate, part of why I moved away.<br />
<br />
I had a handful of boarders, some good, some bad. One bi polar one woke me at 3am stating my cat was in the rafters and if I did not deal with it she would punch my cat. To my horror she punched my cat. Her belongings were out on the street the next day with changed locks.<br />
<br />
I find the most difficult of roommates are women. Both my own sons were fairly good roommates. Messy at times, but took part in cleaning contributing to the house. For most of the time. <br />
<br />
I had one male roommate who would come home early and refuse to let my dog out for a pee. That was cruel. But he was clean quiet, slightly bizarre, but nothing compared to the women I have lived with.<br />
<br />
I think I only, to this day lived with one completely normal women, she had marital difficulties, but was a joy and normal to live with. In fact I lived with her, so she may say I was difficult, who knows.<br />
I know the 3 women I could live with, go figure they have all been my friend for over 10 years.<br />
<br />
Whatever you do, do not Live With A Asshole. so what is a asshole? lets define. I have a few women friends who have contributed notes.<br />
<br />
Type 1: An Asshole is someone you moved in with, expecting some sort of friendship and trust to take place, this could mean one day a week or one month a week. So when you are not home they leave a string of mess that you come home to. Your treat cupboard is pillaged or a stable in your fridge, you require daily is now missing and not replaced, like milk. The garbage has not been taken out, they left the lights on. There is a mass of dirty dishes on the counter and in the sink, un-rinsed- but you have a dishwasher.<br />
<br />
Type 2: They have substituted you, for a man completely, so he's hanging out. They give no warning, he's just there- all the time.<br />
<br />
Type 3: An Asshole has no respect for your needs, you are tired, you want to watch a good flick be silent and lie on the couch- they have pounded back a six pack and are continually talking, and worse...its about work, it is all about the shit day they had a work.<br />
<br />
Type 4: They wake up incredibly happy you think a unicorn has left some magic turds in their cereal, its utterly annoying, the only thing you can think of, is bitch slapping them across the head. They even have a full face of make up for the gym. For the love of Gawd.<br />
<br />
Type 5: (My most recent) You attempt to discuss your frustrations...mess...loud phone chatting...ping ..ping...ping of texting.<br />
The fact that they pull the garbage and place it by the door, on the hardwood floors, but cant make the 5 minute walk to the outside garbage. So then they are angry and you are walking on eggshells now, and its entirely your fault, because they feel you judged them.<br />
<br />
Who is in control of feelings? You are...Right....<br />
<br />
There finances revolve around beauty products, their spare time is getting ready for two hours in the washroom.<br />
<br />
They cant live life without a dude. Every conversation is about dudes, not the horror in the world right now, not world peace, defiantly not anything that involves community. They also talk about how they are going to play men? wow that's nice. But they are a fun loving church goer.<br />
<br />
So you discuss your frustrations, and they never see you again.<br />
They bail on rent, cable and everything else that was joint, but they were never here, so its now your bill, in full. That is a full blown Asshole. I bought a gift, stating thanks for the place, sinafuckingnara<br />
<br />
Type 6: Its like your partner, that does nothing, your his mother, nanny and sex slave. That my friends, is a Asshole, you are living with a Asshole.<br />
<br />
Type 7: What about waking up in the am , to, "Sorry I borrowed your underwear" Better yet, "Sorry I borrowed your boyfriend last night and then they send you flowers of apology. I had that happen, really.<br />
<br />
Better still, your roommate sleeps with the dude you bring in for drinks, that your interested in, after you go to bed, you can hear it. That happened. In 1998.<br />
<br />
Years n years of Assholes. I can also admit that I have been a Asshole, I have left a sink of dishes in a water, while rushing out the door, we did not own a dishwasher, which meant- if my roommate wanted to cook, they'd have to clean them, this time it was a accident and I immediately washed them and said sorry, they were a Asshole for over a week. Learnt my lesson on that one.<br />
<br />
Type 6 again: You come home and you are bitched at, that's a Asshole. I used to say my fiancé had a flair to his Assholeness, he would be super sweet, and blow up at random after he got his piece of ass.<br />
<br />
So maybe I should just live alone. Forever.<br />
<br />
No one is perfect, and the fact that I lived with some of the Assholes in this blog, does not define who they are, some are actually very good people, and I am friends with today.<br />
<br />
People, grow and mature over time. The truth is people change, except my last roommate, that shit will stay with her forever- and thankfully, not me.<br />
<br />
My son who leaves his socks (after working 10 hours in a greasy kitchen) on the couch, and you feel like you have to throw the couch out now, but don't. You clean it and pray it doesn't happen again. But it does.<br />
<br />
Some Assholes just never see the light, best to move on with grace in this situation. Like the last ASShole I lived with who left bills and had some of my things, if I texted, I was harassing- If I asked her family member to remind her to bring my stuff, I was a asshole, bitch..the list goes on that I received in texts, this is a person who takes zero accountability in life.<br />
<br />
She said, "You were recently in my situation" I'm assuming she means broke, because if it means screwing over WCB for a mass amount of money and not budgeting during her WCB pay, while getting hair n nails done, dinners out, ventures out, value village shopping sprees for 3 months, and then realizing WCB is onto her ass, and she then only gets 1200....well No I have never been in that situation.<br />
<br />
When I decided to be rent free, I loved on maybe 200 a month, I extended my bills, I asked for help- I accepted the fate that my injury would not be fixed unless I did it myself- and I looked for work that would not aggravate my injury.<br />
<br />
I am horrified that this person feels fine in her bullshit righteousness. When life gives you a shitty deal...I say<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I think the more I kept my composure the more she got pissed off.<br />
<br />
I have moved on since, however I must say it sure feels good venting about it to the universe.<br />
I now have a very nice home, where family and friends can visit and stay. I have decided that <br />
my life of roommates, boarders and Assholes is over. Except Boarders that are my actual friends.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 12.88px;">Stop minimizing and discounting your feelings. You have every right to feel the way you do. Your feelings may not always be logical, but they are always valid. Because if you feel something, then you feel it and it’s real to you. It’s not something you can ignore or wish away. It’s there, gnawing at you, tugging at your core, and in order to find peace, you have to give yourself permission to feel whatever it is you feel. You have to let go of what you’ve been told you “shoul</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 12.88px;">d” or “shouldn’t” feel. You have to drown out the voices of people who try to shame you into silence. You have to listen to the sound of your own breathing and honor the truth inside you. Because despite what you may believe, you don’t need anyone’s validation or approval to feel what you feel. Your feelings are inherently right and true. They’re important and they matter — you matter — and it is more than okay to feel what you feel. Don’t let anyone, including yourself, convince you otherwise.</span><br />

Thanks for listening..<br />

Love John Lennon. The war against Christmas in my mind is never really over every time this season comes around. The crunching of numbers to get gifts, having to haul out the deco's, having to have the house look just right for almost no guests, so you can bask in the light of the tree to feel the spirit of Christmas, its called faking it. This year, I decided not to break the bank, people would get gifts late- there would be no cards, I would not hustle around for someone else's purpose of Christmas. I also put a hold on my baking and crafting for the people less fortunate to just try to enjoy the days off work.</div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
My Christmas started to become worse when my kids moved away, my dad died and my dog passed.<br />
Over the years, I realized no one made a effort to really see me, and because this is a typical time when there's no work- I simply could not see distinct family either. This Christmas became more miserable every year. Who is in charge of our happiness? We are, so I tried to think about that just a little bit harder.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Id say its been about 5 years since I had a real Christmas with family and friends, nice gifts and great feasts. This year, I decided I would plan a massive family reunion of people in my life and people who always were there for me, and my bio-logical family and distance family- hoping that in two years, maybe over a week- we could all get to know each other again, Happy FestivaZ, mending of the grievances. Should be a shit show. Or not.<br />
Lets see who shows face.<br />
<br />
They say the way to freedom is to let go of the past and to forgive yourself before others. I hold a lot of shit. I have decided after conversations with my two sons, that, shit is going to stay in the pile of my past. I have forgiven a lot, I have taken the brunt of bullshit and blame and moved along proudly. I have settled for less most of my life and gave to others putting myself last. I have removed people from my life that have stowed the pain inside of me, hidden, to find I am still sad anyway. I have had many many angels to help me along in life.<br />
<br />
I have given everything to my kids, my whole self- The reward I have is knowing there OK. This is hard, as we all want our kids to show us how much they love us and just be with us, sometimes we don't always get that. All I can hope for is that they want to see me more as they get older. I have to let it go. So this is it. I have been the best mom I knew how to be. Time for both of them to be men, and if they want me in their life I guess they can find me. I will just appear when the time arises and take what I get.<br />
<br />
Sometimes you have no control over things, The only control I have is over my life and where I want to take it. I guess you see things when someone sees you for the first time-like really sees you. If someone cherishes everything about you, your dreams and hopes and even your downfalls- why would you not move in that direction?</div>

Some of the great moments I can reflect on during Christmas, are coming home to my youngest son doing something crazy with the turkey, ( he's a chef) getting half corked and playing poker. Going over to my friends Bridges, for the second turkey dinner in all our one-see's, Heading out to amazing get together.s, like the Mexican and Indians house, White trash party, Ugly sweater party and the James bond event. Seeing Bright Nights, going to the downtown of Vancouver to see the lights. Hitting Christmas Mass, a new church every year with my one of my favorite girls. Feeling fantastic delivering all the boxes of cookies to the group homes and stockings to east van homeless people. Lastly hiking up Cypress with my befriend on New Eve Day, and having coco and poutine. These memories I cherish.</div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
I was given a few angels this year, to help me get threw it. Get threw the feeling of loss, because non of this happens anymore..and life changes. Its very awesome I moved to a remote area in the lower mainland that gets SNOW, so I simply cant go deal with peoples own issues if the roads are bad. I live 5 blocks from my grandson which is awesome.</div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
I think about what the next Christmas's will be like...Next year Ill be in Mexico, the year after that- I hope to have all the family in Mount Washington will join me, I will be 50. 50 is a big number, the last big party I had, I was 40. <br />
<br />
The worst part of Christmas is setting resolutions-I don't do that horse crap any more, just sets a person up for failure. I do goal setting daily. Then I do a vision board. I have to say I have set myself up pretty great to reach some serious goals for 2016, because Ive worked on change all of 2015.<br />
<br />
2015 was the time to face reality, and although it did not turn out the way I wanted it too, I had a pretty good year, I had some travel. I met amazing people, I mean I meet amazing people all the time, but the new people in my life are of value, worth and mentors, leaders..<br />
<br />
The best way to change coarse is to move in the direction of change makers. My best friend up North is a change maker, my teacher friends in Richmond, are change makers, my new friends in the states are change makers. These people make you feel that it will all be OK. This is similar how I feel when I am in Terrace, and now in Chilliwack, I feel the same way. A small community with tons of outreach and programs. You can knock on your neighbours door for help if need be. I never felt that in Vancouver.<br />
<br />
I have decided that this year will be MY Amazing <br />

Well, you know he's a good man if he buys your tampons, that's all I can say, especially if he's a mans man, and buys your tampons.<br />
<br />
Dating in Vancouver can be pretty tuff beans on a women, as I have talked about for the last 10 years.<br />
You never know if your going to be stuck with the bill, asked to do "Dutch" Pay half or if the man has 5 other dates lined up for the week.<br />
<br />
You get pretty daunted with hopelessness, and fear that you may be alone forever. Is he into you? or is he waiting for the next best thing?<br />
<br />
Did he actually pursue you? Now there's a question. That means did he see you and make a attempt to date you? cause this is pretty dam grey in Vancouver. This means, you did nothing. You did not hit him up on chat, you did not find him among your friends, your friends did not pressure him to meet you or you meet him, He actively sought ways to try and date you.<br />
<br />
Sometimes we date our friends, and realise all the reasons why you were only friends in the first place, and maybe that taboo thing you did, like sleep with him was not such a good idea, like a year later. Sometimes it is.<br />
<br />
Well I did have a man pursue me in April, this happened in my life, and I was completely not interested. I met him at a function with several other married men, and left the event thinking to myself this was the best time and company I have had in a long time. I was at a table with educated, gentlemen of value and worth for a benefit. I had intellectual discussion's and heard hilarious stories.<br />
<br />
A month later, a co-worker requested I see her, peer actually. She said that a gentleman from that night really wanted to take me to dinner.<br />
<br />
It is really out of character for me to let my walls down and just go with it.<br />
for starters I was a little intimidated by his title in society, and my first idea was, what on earth would this man have in common with me, and further more what would I have in common with him?<br />
<br />
I had met him once. He gave a speech at a fundraiser.<br />
When I agreed to meet up a few months later, it wasn't even the same guy.<br />
I guess he had a few trainers and had been on a massive over haul of his life. In two months, he was all of a sudden divorced, fit, tanned and training for a marathon.<br />
<br />
I was intrigued.<br />
<br />
It is now 6 months later and I still get butterflies on when I'm going to see him next. So he stepped into the new millennium and had sex before marriage, with me..90 days after courtship.<br />
<br />
That's right folks, you heard me correctly. For 3 months the heavy petting was like a grade 8 horror movie. "Why?" one might ask, well it certainly was not my doing. The only thing I could do was get to know the man. I realized I really liked him. There are many reasons why, but it really is not important.<br />
<br />
This week, the discussion was about questions. "Out of the 5 states, which one would you go to?" Utah, West Virginia, New Hampton, Alabama or north Dakota?I picked Alabama and West Virginia<br />
<br />
<i> </i>I know nothing about those, so I picked Alabama and West Virginia- The hottest possible<br />
<br />
I said out of the 5 Canadian places, ...<br />
Montreal, Winnipeg, Nova Scotia, Ottawa, Yellowknife, which two? He picked Nova Scotia and Montreal.<br />
Then the question was , if you could ask God 3 questions what would they be?<br />
<br />
I said; "why are humans so horrible?" to the planet, animals, people...destruction.<br />
" Will I be OK? will my family be OK?"<br />
" Will there be another ice-age? cause extinction is happening huge.<br />
<br />
His were: How do I know that you (God) loves me? Like will there be a sign?<br />
How am I able to understand that god has his hand on certain people?<br />
Why is the world so broken?<br />
<br />
These are the discussions we have, and then we decide.. that I will take him to two Canadian destinations and he will take me to two USA destinations, and on the discussion of god.. we realize again that we are only human, and cannot have these answered specifically, but we can do something small to find answers within ourselves..<br />
<br />
The relationship is working, and I don't know why its working- but it is, I bring out something in him he never knew existed, and he brings out something in me I needed for a very long time.<br />
<br />
What I think is crazy about this relationship, is I have never once analyzed this relationship. I think every one for the last 20 years I have analyzed and picked apart, I actually don't even think about it.<br />
We just plan our next set of events and do it. When he goes home or I do, I don't think "oh I wonder what he thought of that, or I hope this and that" I don't worry about a phone call or what he is doing.<br />
<br />
There is nothing. It is, just what it is. With a certain status in society, comes community, faith and several other things. complexity I guess. I am learning how this all works. For starters I never voted for several years, however I did vote for Harper to be gone. I never really knew about the American constitution, or the politics of my own country. <br />
<br />
Then I was challenged on why I should vote, which then in turn went onto topics such all what has come to now in BC, and I really feel I have a more personal understanding, to be frank, politics were never my strong suit, and quite honestly I had very little education on politics.<br />
<br />
Because I am kind of a hippy, and really felt it was all about money and no one was going to change anything.. and sure it is about money, but when you have not had a raise in 4 years, and the economy is the worst its ever been, you start to think that even one more vote will make a difference.<br />
<br />
I am learning about things I never put much thought to before, and also that most things I do should have purpose. Other wise we are just floating...<br />
<br />
I floated for a long time, paying bills raising kids and never gave my life or myself or my kids the meaning of purpose. This is how I feel anyway. I discussed the importance of money and looking after ones self, but what I regret most is those discussion of making your purpose and making a difference in the world as a whole. Except for recycling, that was always huge on the household duties.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I think to myself, am I "simple minded". But no..that is not the word that the man I am dating, said I was..<br />
He said..<br />
<br />
You are a survivor, aren't you?<br />
<br />
I guess I am.<br />

The Summer Plan...Well, it did not quite work as I envisioned.<br />
Yes I sold all my stuff, Yes I lived rent free in the US..<br />
During the summer, school staff typically collect unemployment insurance and work odd jobs declaring earnings. My plan was to work like a dog and pay off debt and save.<br />
Well I worked for one month for Canada Post, got injured and was denied WCB or Postal Support- What a Joke.<br />
<br />
I did vacation, which was the first in 5 years, I vacationed with zero money- yes it is possible. My Unemployment did not kick in till August ( Great Government System We have here)<br />
<br />
I sold items in a US consignment store and lived off some of the earnings, I cashed in my dwindling Canada Bonds.I clearly did not think this threw.<br />
<br />
OK...So September came, and the plan was to continue my 6 months in Hopkins...that did not pan out either. I calculated cost of parking in horseshoe bay. The daily ferry cost. The crazy playboy I'd be rooming with, and good thing I did, no work available till mid September...Sign...<br />
<br />
I reunited with a old co-worker and she needed a car, I needed a place.. She bought the car covering my first months rent and damage. My final destination is...<br />
CHILLIWACK! Not entirely rent free, but a quarter of the cost, of typical rent in Vancouver. Close to the boarder still.<br />
<br />
Life is still figuring itself out for me....<br />
I am now commuting to Vancouver..and the tally is...toll cost 161 month, gas cost...350...hmmm<br />
there is also living with a unfamiliar roommate thrown into the mix..sleeping on a air mattress..<br />
Do I have full time work? The VSB seems to call full time work 20 hrs a week..Sigh..<br />
<br />
Although I legally cannot talk about my work..I have so say that in all my years experience I finally feel challenged and respected in my field of work..I also realize, sometimes you can't save everybody and if things are affecting your health its time to throw in the towel.<br />
<br />
Chilliwack BC is covered by mountains and I love the fact there is zero traffic congestion. The ideal thing to have would be to find a choice of work here- so the only latest news is, I am looking, and looking hard.<br />
<br />
Due to the current level of work I am doing at a School/ Hospital..I don't even have time to look good.<br />
Sometimes I wear the same outfit two days in a row, zero makeup..hair in a bun, I come home and fall into a 1.5 hour power nap. The truth is, working and living in Van- took a 45 min drive, working and living in Delta took a 1hr drive, working and living in the US took a 1.3 hr drive, now its a 2 hour drive with traffic. How awesome would it be to walk to work, run in the morning..oh right, Canada Post fucked up my feet, ..OK do Yoga in the morning? Be off by 4pm and go to a gym, cook dinner..maybe paint?<br />
<br />
Its like some distance dream. SQUIRREL<br />
<br />
The Rant<br />
<br />
I get up at 5am, arrive at work at 8am, work till 330, get home at 5pm, nap till 630pm, eat a snack, clean the house, pet the cat, try to make a 745 relaxation Yoga class, try to do some paper work..for work..bed by 10pm. Then there's the recent boyfriend, the American..who I get to see...Saturdays.<br />
<br />
Except this week he surprised me and came here to buy me ice cream, I was in such a funk, I was probably like a hag.<br />
<br />
I'm pissed off. I am not just pissed off at this situation, I am pissed off at the political bullshit in my work..I am pissed off Sea World still has Orca's in captivity, I am pissed off there are lost girls in china, I am pissed off that I cant make a difference...I am pissed off my mom is sick, I am pissed off I don't vacation with my boys..<br />
<br />
The furthest thing from my mind is spending 2-4 hours on getting ready for date, talking about the latest guy, buying the latest shit, or eating at the latest 5 star restaurant, or what you didn't do on your restful days of vacationing. If you are not doing something with your life, don't talk to me, because I'll probably say the WRONG thing right now.<br />
I think this all stems from having to put yourself in the field of something you have no control over.... and it literally breaking your heart...<br />
And seeing all/or little of what you have, and realizing someone has way less.<br />
<br />
So next time you post your latest 30 dollar Fake nails, give a fucking buck or two to a charity would ya? better yet, your old nail polish to the women shelter, two cans of food to a food bank.<br />
<br />
I like a good nail and hairdo, spa day (whens the last time I had that? oh right 2007) and makeover..like once a year.<br />
<br />
I am so tired, but the truth is, if I had a life of not working like a dog, I would be working or doing charity or volunteering to be tired like a dog anyway..what is wrong with me? If you have ever had kids, or had to care for someone other than yourself..you would get it..that includes elderly parents, other peoples kids...<br />
We are parents, nanny's, caregivers...and when we leave..we move onto world work..some do anyway.<br />
<br />
I don't feel quality of life right now in my current situation, I don't feel like I'm making a difference, I don't feel active and healthy, I feel like no one in my circle gets it. I have a handful that do, and I know that if I was present in their life as much as I wanted, or could be, I would be healthier than where I am right now.<br />

<br />
<br />
yeah..I get it Ann Bradford....<br />
So what am I doing about it? I have started the process of moving into another district..Surrey, Abbotsford..Chilliwack..I have hit up my contacts on Linked In..<br />
I have made myself somewhat unavailable during this stressful time..inward time. I have only shared the negative energy with people who are grounded, can take it, and give solid advice.<br />
<br />
I have gone to meditation and relaxing yoga..Although I am wondering if Oxygen Yoga should really have Yin, Meditation..here in Chilliwack, The last instructor was a complete moron.<br />
<br />
There was nothing relaxing about Pilate's lunges and a confused teacher in placement of hands and feet. 4 people sat out- I unfortunately sat threw the stupid process giving the women the death look.<br />
<br />
The worst part of it was, typically on Thanksgiving the piece read aloud, should be about gratitude and thankfulness right? Her piece was about things being difficult that she read from her personal journal,..well she had all of my negative energy from across the room. During Shasta, she certainly was not getting all my love and peace..she was getting the turtle head out my ass from the stressful awkward poses that made no sense, and I know they didn't because I went with a gymnast. I said to my friend was I wrong in thinking that was totally confusing? She said "Hell no, she had no idea what she was doing" and then mimicked her to give us both gut wrenching belly laughs.<br />
<br />
The highlights: Well my love life is good, I'm dating Mr Political Himself- which I cant talk about also..so moving on<br />
<br />
My mother still has her comedic wits about her while in the hospital, today I got a random text that Saint Paul's carries toilet paper from Russia, cause it makes her ass bleed.<br />
The day before she feels the Filipino workers are deprived or something because they stole all her yogurt, that was labeled from the fridge and one repeatably goes threw people drawers in the night shift.<br />
<br />
MarTin the cat is back with me and is as crazy as ever..which really means he's happy, so that's good.<br />
<br />
SQUIRREL!<br />
<br />
BTW, I need a small couch or love seat, for free- preferable one that folds out and can be delivered<br />
PM me if anyone has a decent one. I am currently using lawn furniture.<br />

Ok..So I think I should be a counselor, writer..all no money. Fantastic...I think allot at work, specifically at this specific position, I feel defeated, lets move on...<br />
<br />
I feel tired and overwhelmed...so I'm going to attract that? Fantastic<br />
<br />
I do imagine allot! Like leaving Canada, starting over, attempting to be a professional student internationally, or working abroad somewhere.<br />
Buddha is not really working his magic tonight..LOL<br />
<br />
I recently told someone they angered me deeply internally every time we spoke, so therefore I could not accept texts or calls anymore. I' m at a time in my life where I feel like , its now, this is the rest of my life and I have to make the most of it, and anything or anyone that does not have a positive effect on me should just simply be removed, and I really don't need to give a reason of why.<br />
<br />
So even thou I am extremely frustrated right now, it will improve and probably change in ways I never thought possible, if I did not move to the states and actually be poor with no work, I would of not had that restful time..I would have missed out on allot of rest and enjoyment. It was hard struggling the expenses I did have in Canada, and I am still catching up..but I probably needed the time off...I probably need a year off. Thanks LB xox<br />
If you are frustrated, fix it. Move on. Tomorrow is a new day:)<br />

(Peri, they call it) I finally in all my years, I have some real knockers-who would have thought.<br />

This comes with night sweats, irritability, and sex hunger and a little bit of insanity. I wish I could say my behaviors were in tune with my years of wisdom. I am a complete emotional headcase.<br />
See a animal video, I cry. Spend time with a dear friend, I cry. Its all odd.<br />
<br />
I do know my estrogen levels are excelled on all accounts and I get heated up very quickly, emotionally and physically. Like a top ready to explode.<br />
<br />
I thought the boob enlargement odd last month, and that maybe it was the milk here in the USA-I've been drinking whole milk.<br />
I don't believe in medications, but I have been taking quite a few vitamins, magnesium and iron and all sorts of stuff for muscle growth- I have a re occurring dream that I'm going to have to have hip replacements like my mother. I have this sciatic nerve thing going on , on one side of my body.<br />
<br />
This journey and adventure has not been easy this month. I have slow hours with work.<br />
<br />
A lot of change for this gal, I went to the 3 day Make Your Mark, Business Mastery, I've only put it off a entire year.<br />
<br />
The program is by Collin Sprake, Motivational speaker on Business. The program was a lead into his school and books and Cd's, I received excellent information.<br />
<br />
I was not prepared for the relationships and emotional baggage release that came with the program. I remember sitting threw the first day and listening to the cheering and clapping and cheesy mantra while I received horrid text messages from my family. Everyone in the room, wanting to hug and release their crap of why they have no life and no money and basically its called the insanity circle.<br />
<br />
I got threw it went home and thought about it all. The next day, I sat beside this women who I felt like was the other half of me that was missing. Day two, was more releasing of crap-crap that I thought I had over come. It started with a simple vision board-I have done many, and taught how to do these for my clients. What I was not prepared for, was we were to sit across a stranger and explain it. When I got to the part of publishing my book, the women asked about the book. I said very strongly " it is called, "365 letters, A Girl gone temporarily Insane. and deals with grief"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFGDC4TYPm9KXvIIKcTgD_Bi9tk1so96JHRC6M3blgprZmeoEVIiV1spU4M2OZGq43PIP6C4IQxJbDBlWTsrIcVXrec9TDbX1SYkfh-XvnWln848CVyRlbu-J_5AHqcXQ8rbg4td28Ocw/s1600/whats-your-story.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="117" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFGDC4TYPm9KXvIIKcTgD_Bi9tk1so96JHRC6M3blgprZmeoEVIiV1spU4M2OZGq43PIP6C4IQxJbDBlWTsrIcVXrec9TDbX1SYkfh-XvnWln848CVyRlbu-J_5AHqcXQ8rbg4td28Ocw/s320/whats-your-story.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The women asked, who died? I said my dad. The women said, people slowly preform suicide everyday in their own lives, explain this one. I explained and then got choked up to the point where I could not speak. She grabbed me and hugged me very strongly. She said, "its been two years, why is it not written?"<br />
<br />
I said because I have a hard time writing it, then she did what she was summoned to do- the motivational speaker had told the other person to think of creative ways to make it happen. So she said I should join a writers club, and also interview people who had different forms of dealing with grief not just my own, and the strength would resonate to other peoples pain.<br />
<br />
I was dumb founded. I was asked to join a group the previous day. Which I missed due to work and obligations.<br />
<br />
I clearly saw that this class was more, from that moment on. Next the lights downed and we had to write our life story, going back as far as we could remember. I did not want to write this either, because my life had been like a fucking Gerry Springer Show. I saw a 50 yr old man break down in sobs, due to his story- I saw the coaches help him get back on track..and I slowly started to write. 5 pages and 6 pages...this was also to be shared the next day with a stranger. So what we got here, was free therapy.<br />
<br />
If you have crap in your life and you cant remove it you cannot grow your business, simple and true. If you keep worrying about shit- you will never move forward, I love the mantra..<br />
<br />
"I am Happy, and Healthy and Abundantly Wealthy!"<br />
<br />
I met amazing women and learned valuable information for my own company- I highly suggest this coarse for everyone, if they are thinking about a company or even change of career. Relationships and bonds are built here. The coarse makes you accountable for the work.<br />
<br />
Sometimes your story is your company. The women that sat beside me had quite a story, and her story is her success in business and life.<br />
<a href="http://www.gilliansfaith.com/">Gillian Faith</a> , won the award for strongest women, and here I am sitting beside her-and as they handed out cards, I received this one:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
So there you have it, I got threw it..did a vision board, got some free healing and now had to put things to work.<br />
<br />
I decided after all that was said and done with last weeks bullshit from family, and with my mothers surgery and knowing shes OK, to just for once try to move past the family garbage and focus on what I do want in my life. I am continuously facing life's curb balls. I have very little patience or tolerance, and sometimes what I think is perfect and good is, not quite what I thought.<br />
<br />
I do know that I have alot of love to give to someone in the future, much adventure to be had still in my life, -amazing relationships in friendships, and family, and I give back to community...its really all I need, I don't need pre-judgement calls from anyone, I love who I am just the way I am, and my story is a powerful one to share, it is the basis of my company. Be present in today. Not yesterday or before. I am the girl who wears bright red lipstick and leopard bras, sometimes I am tasteless and tacky- but I am a good genuine honest person.<br />
<br />
I am learning to re-train my words, and to say them out loud.<br />
<br />
So I can say with confidence I am moving with my eyes more wide open now. Also words are powerful the words that you tell yourself, that are put into the universe.<br />
<br />
On this journey, my new slogan is ; "I am not reducing debt... I am investing in my future abundance"<br />

There is nothing worst than feeling like you've been in a uncomfortable place that you once were in past. I guess this happened after receiving a email that gave me some closure in the last 24hrs.<br />
<br />
I truly believe that we are the creators of our own destiny, and things do not happen by luck or chance. We put ourselves in the places that are either good or bad. As we grow older we become wiser, and you learn from your experiences or you don't and you keep going around in the same circle.<br />
<br />
I'd like to say, I have grown huge as a person, and can go with my instincts now. It is very difficult to recognize old pattern sometimes. Due to being hurt or years have past. remember that old saying<br />
"you only remember the good, not the bad" Sure you can do that if it helps...lol<br />
<br />
Or you can remember the hell you went threw and the tears you wasted or time you wasted on a certain thing and you can become stronger and look at how you did or did not benefit from that situation.<br />
The important thing is to look at it or that situation, and ask yourself "how did I get there?"<br />
<br />
If you do not feel you are worthy inside, you will attract someone that is not worthy of you , or for you, or a career that does not value your worth, or a living situation that does not encompass all your value.<br />
When you have a poor self image of yourself, you attract insecure people into your life, so you can mask your own insecurities. This is not the case for me anymore, however it was many times in past.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately for me, after reading the book, "why men love bitches" I realized I fell into the nice girl category. I had recently done the same dumb mistakes in a short lived relationship- I was played by the, single dad syndrome, newly separated she took everything, sexless marriage bullshit.<br />
<br />
I only had myself to blame, in the scope of things. I was not seeing what it really was.<br />
So in the realm of getting over that bullshit and caring on with my life, there was someone who found me, I am not sure if it is necessarily a romantic type of relationship, but I do know this.<br />
<br />
He likes everything about me, just as it is. He is 100% cell free, TV free and totally focused on having conversations with me. He is a peer that I value, and respect, an extreme athlete. I am learning something new every time I am around this person. There is zero drama, no x girlfriends, crazy friendships,, work stress or financial baggage. This person is not interested in the drama of other peoples lives, or whats going on in them if it concerns negativity. His social time is jam sessions, family orientated events and community events, their are no drinking binges or random people stopping by..his life is simple and easy.<br />
<br />
So this person felt that I was someone he wanted to know-and seeked me out. This is something new.<br />
These are the type of people I want in my life. This may mean ending some friendships. I went to a few friend gatherings this month, and left early and felt the evening was completey unsatisfactory and a complete waste of my time. I went on some good ones too, that will be part of my future.<br />
<br />
I think that the more I hang out with this person my test of will, will be met. Challenges are what I need in many areas, of the mind, fitness and career choice.<br />
<br />
There were 3 relationships that entered my life recently, the player, the User and the Samaritan.<br />
The player is a dear friend of mine and is living the life of a 20 yr old. I have a hard time wrapping my head around this person because I see a incredibly beautiful person, that is trapped in their own self sabotage. I have a few friends I call players, they are all seeking a greater purpose, but never really get there- for fear of something else. The user is someone that takes and takes until all your mental capacity is gone. I have deleted this person. The Samaritan is the person I mentioned above.<br />
<br />
So in the coarse of 24 hrs I have taken a hard look at my behaviors and what attracts what, and also where I want to be. I know I have chosen the right path so far, and I'm sticking to it. The behaviors however- this I need work on, because what it has caused in myself, is mistrust, and hurt. So there is a huge wall. I am almost scared to be the person I am. I am scared to be the affectionate caregiver personality I am, or rather gullible is what people have said in past. I trust no one, this is not very good.:(<br />
<br />
I could say, I have no control over the situations in my life, but we do!!! and this is the hard part for me to learn.- but then it goes back to the beginning, why am I allowing myself to be put in these situations? and how do I stop it?<br />
<br />
I really don't know.<br />
<br />
I do know that sitting on his sofa watching my ass grow larger and worrying about it, is no way to be.<br />
so I've shut off my cell and have decided I need to go run. I climb a very large mountain tomorrow.<br />
Challenges..life's great purpose.<br />

Well, I made it threw one month!<br />
<br />
I feel I have set up how things will go for the next year and it feels good.<br />
<br />
When I arrive at work a hour before work, and tell my story, people are wowed, and I have to say-If you really set your mind to something and have good people in your life who support you, anything is possible.<br />
<br />
There will always be cynical people who don't understand or get it.<br />
<br />
As one family member basically asked if I felt bad, for just staying at peoples homes and taking.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well let me clarify what exactly this project is about.<br />
<br />
Like many people in Vancouver we are working to Live, we are busying our life's with programs and fitness activities to feel a sense of wellness. Vancouver is listed the most expensive place to live. I repeat, Vancouver is listed the most expensive place to live. There are no perks to wellness in Vancouver, you either have the genes to get outside and do it on your own, or you pay someone or some program to get you to your wellness.<br />
<br />
I have blogged on and one about how the school board strike almost killed me financially. I am not going to talk about that again here. The bottom line is there is 45K that needs to be dealt with. On top of that a slandering of bullshit on my credit file. Sure a person can pay it, consolidate it or bankrupt it.<br />
<br />
The bullshit will still be there. I had both. I had done all three in the coarse of 10 years, Paid some, consolidated some and bankrupted some-<br />
<br />
I spoke to people ; Credit Counselor of Canada, Debt Canada , a lawyer...no one was going to clean this mess up but me.<br />
<br />
My rent of 1000 will go toward this debt, half of my food bill in Vancouver; 250, Half of my gas bill 150, my car payment, 260. This is $1660.00 toward debt.<br />
<br />
My income at is basic level is $2800. My new expenses are about 800.00: In Vancouver my expenses were 2797.00- All of my income. Most times some bills never got paid due to other bills, like federal debt.<br />
<br />
I sold and donated everything, except a handful of memories in a 10x10 storage unit, this is still being downsized.<br />
<br />
My first friend, this was all her idea.<br />
We will call her LDB, this is a women who paid off her two degrees and masters in a year, invested 100K in savings, has a monthly household savings account of 2k. If I was going to listen to anyone , it was going to be LDB.<br />
<br />
LDB, offered her home and more.<br />
<br />
I spoke with people that had room and loved my company,that could use a hand maintaining their home. The two locations are family orientated, meaning we eat as a family, clean as a family and work as a family. I bring in groceries just like the rest of the house, I do laundry, dishes..we work as a family.<br />
<br />
During my stay, I will work full time, and be in university classes, some online and some in part time.<br />
I will work on my company, for added income.<br />
<br />
The first family is in the US, the couple have very large careers, and things get array in the up keep of the home and children.<br />
<br />
The second home is like a paradise away from home, a bachelor with many family members in his communities, this person AJ, I asked for his help. I knew AJ a handful of years, he is sweet and kind and very committed to his family, I thought he would not only benefit from my stay, I would benefit also. Both places offer what I had in my home town of Terrace, BC, support, love and stability.<br />
<br />
I then decided to blog about this process, this is a book that many would want to read, when I tell people I work with in the same profession as me, they are wowed! Many people are moving back in with their parents in Vancouver, to do this very same thing.<br />
<br />
The hardest part of this process is saying No. Saying No to friends who want to go out for dinners and events and gatherings, saying No to people who need help- because you simply cant.<br />
Saying No to things that seemed easy, like Yoga Class at 120 dollars a month and learning to do it on your own, Learning to say No to even a Gym and doing it at home. Eating for only a week at a time.<br />
<br />
Doing things in your own vicinity to save on gas. Declining a drink after work.<br />
All of these simple things are debilitating and emotional.<br />
<br />
I have not yet saved any income, cleaning up current debt- but I feel I am on the road to success and this makes me feel awesome. I have started my university courses, I am doing one at a time. The first of coarse is English!<br />
<br />

</div>
<br />
I decided to really take stock of this weekend to its fullest extent, I needed some serious alone time and quiet time.<br />

<br />
I spent Friday In Vancouver doing to some needed self care, I had allot of paperwork to deal with on my vehicle, toll fees, parking charges, all to renew the insurance-this took hours and hours, or so it seemed. I then went for wellness care, pedicure and foot massage, eyebrows nails..at the Happy Cheap Salon in the area we call Main street. Had a dinner at my sons restaurant. Was very lovely, but a long day.<br />
<br />
It was late when I headed back and I got pulled into the boarder for over a hour with long questions...Ugh<br />
<br />
They asked very personal questions and I felt like I had done something wrong, I had nothing in my car, I work for Canadian federal government, back and forth everyday..I have stated the truth since I arrived..I don't get it. Sometimes they are just rude, like my friend forgot to give the guy the yellow slip and he leaned into her car and told her it required her to think. The guy on Friday, asked the required questions, then asked why I just didn't stay in Canada, and i said because I am staying in Fern dale, then he said in a abrupt voice, I don't have time to talk to you your going in. It was 1030 there were no cars!<br />
In the building I sat as the only person, to have them go through my car and decided to take a full hour. He says: "you are free to go" Like Ive just spent time in jail. So upsetting.<br />

I was not going to let this upset me, and I went straight to bed at home to be up early to plan my exploring the next day. The choice was Fair haven Washington, A haunted little town with the ferry entrance to Alaska. The town takes pride on its Artisans. I read up on the brochure before I headed out. I was looking forward to the famous rosemary Bread with curd butter for 75 cents and Tony's famous Latte.</div>

The town has many stories of it's haunting, and the buildings are very old. I sat on a patio for a few hours then walked all the way down to the water, went into all the art shops, most businesses had large murals on the walls , very kewl.<br />

The plan was to go up to Washington University as well for a small trail run, however I had stuff to do.<br />

After my little adventure I tackled the 6 bins of consignment clothing to go to the lovely owner at Labels. It was quite a procedure! I was happy to hear she can sell at least half of it, the rest went to donation.<br />
<br />
I wanted to also replace a pair of vintage "New Religion" jeans, I blew the ass out a week ago at a event and they were my Fav's, my plan was to find a pair of original "Hudson's" The rave here in the USA, well the girl went to the back and after trying on 6 pairs , she finally came out with newly distributed Hudson's! YAY, I paid a whooping 6.99 for 200 dollar jeans.<br />
<br />
Labels runs many fashion shows to support women of abuse and after chatting for quite some time, the next one I may just be the make up artist for the event.<br />

I then went home to tackle my room, I had to make a study area, as I have started the pre requisites for my teaching degree, if I go that route. My first trial lesson on language I got only 43%, I have to re do the entire chapter. It is very hard, harder than I thought.<br />
<br />
Last stop of the evening, a great nightcap at Temple Lounge, always great house music, ambiance and great vibe. I have been here before many a time, and its a great place to find a quaint table and people watch. I walked down the block to find several sayings on the pavement. Walked by a punk band and a rap show, I love this area of Bellingham.<br />

I absoluTly love this article I am posting, and this was very much tested with family members this week. The article is at the end of my blog post.<br />

So it is week two of living as a suitcase boarder, and I was just starting to get used to the commute and my mum had a serious fall. The fall cause her entire face to be bruised and bloody, her mind confused. The fall caused a mini heart attack and her entire body to be bruised.<br />

<br />
<br />
Everyone my age seems to be dealing with aging parents. For me this is the scariest thing that could possibly happen. I am not set up for it for one. I feel helpless most of the time. I also feel like I am finally free of responsibility except for myself, quite frankly I cannot care for anyone else. The week consisted of commuting way to much, trying to deal with the parking in downtown Vancouver, which was well over 100 bucks. How can they not have parking at the hospital? The congestion and fees all make me sick. My moms dog had to be walked twice a day, hospital visits, it was 16hr days and I lost it a few times. I felt like I had zero support and I do have three other sisters.<br />
<br />
When you simply cannot deal, what do you do? I meant when you do not yourself have the strength to deal with everything, I did what I needed to do, and thank fully this time, my mom is home on the mend and getting better.<br />
<br />
This one week of issues put a wrench in my life.<br />
<br />
Many choices we make in life—ranging from what we do, to how we conduct ourselves, and who we interact with—are subject to prying questions and commentary from those around us. Family members, friends, and even total strangers, it often seems like everyone has an opinion on the things we do, no matter how small or insignificant those things might seem to us.<br />
<br />
Sometimes people go so far as to ask you to explain yourself for the decisions or choices you make in your own life. You might feel obliged to respond, but some things are really no one else’s business and you don’t owe anyone an explanation at all for the following 15 things—though you think you do.<br />
<br />
1. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION FOR YOUR LIVING SITUATION.<br />
<br />
Whether you are cohabiting with your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend, crashing in different motel rooms across the country, or living with your parents for a while when you are past your twenties, you don’t have to explain yourself to anyone for who you live with and why if you don’t want to. If you are fully aware of your living situation, then it means you have your own reasons for being in that situation that are nobody else’s business.<br />
<br />
2. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION FOR YOUR LIFE PRIORITIES.<br />
<br />
You have your own ideas about the things that would make you and your loved ones truly comfortable and happy, which is your main priority. Since we are all unique individuals with different values, dreams and aspirations, your core priorities will be different from the next person’s. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for what you determine is your core priority in life. That is your personal business not other people’s business.<br />
<br />
3. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE AN APOLOGY IF YOU ARE NOT SORRY.<br />
<br />
If you don’t regret your actions, still think someone is wrong about something or don’t care much for their forgiveness, you don’t have to apologize. Many people are too quick to offer apologies and try to mend wounds that are not yet ready to be mended, which only serves to aggravate the wound and bring more problems. You really don’t have to apologize if you are not sorry or your side of the story hasn’t been heard.<br />
<br />
4. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION FOR REQUIRING ALONE TIME.<br />
<br />
You might worry that you will come across as “rude,” “anti-social” or “aloof” when you cancel plans or other obligations because you need some time alone to reboot, unwind or just enjoy a good book by yourself. However, spending time alone is a completely normal, natural and necessary practice that more people should adopt. Take your alone time confidently because you don’t owe anybody an explanation for it.<br />
<br />
5. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE YOUR AGREEMENT ON THEIR PERSONAL BELIEFS.<br />
<br />
Just because someone shares their personal beliefs passionately doesn’t mean you have to sit there and nod in approval to everything they say. If you don’t share in their beliefs, it is unfair to yourself and to the other person to suppress your own thoughts and feelings and pretend you agree with them. It’s okay and better to disagree with them gracefully instead of bottling up your disapproval and frustrations.<br />
<br />
6. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE A YES TO EVERYTHING THEY SAY.<br />
<br />
You have a right to say no whenever there is no compelling reason to say yes. In fact, the most successful people in the world are those who have mastered the art of saying no to everything that is not a priority. Acknowledge other people’s kindness and be grateful for it, but don’t be afraid to politely decline anything that takes your focus away from your core goals and priorities. That’s how to get ahead.<br />
<br />
7. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION FOR YOUR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE.<br />
<br />
You might be slender, plump, tall, short, pretty, plain or whatever, but you don’t have to explain yourself to anyone for why you look how you do. Your physical appearance is your own business and you are obligated only to yourself. Physical appearance shouldn’t determine your self-worth.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
8. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION FOR YOUR FOOD PREFERENCES.<br />
<br />
There are certain foods that you just don’t like at all for different reasons, including taste preference and health issues. You don’t have to explain to anyone at all why you prefer certain foods. Your food preference is a matter that is best left to you. If anyone pesters you about why you are eating (or not eating) certain foods, shrug it off and just say you feel better eating (or not eating) those foods.<br />
<br />
9. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION FOR YOUR SEX LIFE.<br />
<br />
As long as it happens with another consenting adult, you don’t owe anyone an explanation for where, when and how you conduct your sex life. You can wait for marriage, try one-night stands or experiment with same sex encounters to your heart’s pleasure and still not have to explain your sexual preferences to anybody.<br />
<br />
10. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION FOR YOUR CAREER OR PERSONAL LIFE CHOICES.<br />
<br />
Sometimes circumstances force us to choose between work and “having a life.” The decision is not always easy and you might end up choosing work, not because you don’t care about your family or social life, but because you are working on something that will give you security in the future. Either way, you don’t owe others an explanation for choosing a career over your personal life (or vice versa) as long as you are confident about what you are doing and why you are doing it.<br />
<br />
11. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION FOR YOUR RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL VIEWS.<br />
<br />
Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Catholic, Protestant or Muslim, that is your own personal choice. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for why you are what you are and believe what you believe. If someone can’t accept you for who you are, that is their personal dogma—not yours.<br />
<br />
12. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION FOR BEING SINGLE.<br />
<br />
Whether you are single by design or by default that is nobody’s business. Being single is not a personality disorder. You are free to be in a relationship or not. Besides, you are far more than your relationship status and singlehood is just one of those social labels no one should really care about.<br />
<br />
13. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE A DATE JUST BECAUSE THEY ASKED.<br />
<br />
Someone might be nice, good looking and you may even be a little interested, but you don’t owe them a date just because they ask. If you feel deep down you don’t want to go on that date, then don’t. You may offer a reason for declining, but keep it brief and stick to your decision.<br />
<br />
14. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION FOR YOUR DECISION ABOUT MARRIAGE.<br />
<br />
Whether or not you choose to get married and have kids or stay unmarried and be childfree, that is your own personal decision. Even your mom who is dying for grandchildren should understand that marriage is a personal decision and not suited for everyone. She should respect your decision about it no matter how hard it is to swallow.<br />
<br />
15. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIP CHOICES.<br />
<br />
Sometimes people make inappropriate commentary about your romantic relationship(s), which is really none of their business. You might overhear comments like you are not the “perfect couple” or you should find someone else. However, you are not answerable to anyone but yourself for your relationship choices. Live your life and never, ever leave or stay in a relationship just because someone else says you have to. Make your own mistakes if you must, but learn from them always.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Its Done</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">“I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I've become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what displeases me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate, or create a bubble of mistrust. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do not get along with those who do not know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who choose war over peace in all circumstances. And on top of everything I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Next..</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">There's been a lot of bull crap energy that I've accepted recently, I have no idea why..Sometimes we lose sight of what our focus is. This past month was all about removing obstacles. I still have some sorting to do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But I Dam well did it!, I never doughted myself..I just knew it would be allot of work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So its day one and its Victoria Day...and my progress of getting things done is going very slow, I am tired have bruises all over my legs, WTF. Also I need to see a chiropractor :(, I have never been to one, but something is out of wack. I guess this is what happens when you move yourself..lol</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When you move, you find out who your real friends are, I tell ya.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I have been in and out of bed, do a bit here n there, and then think ..can i just be on vacation forever? no, that would not do. I rejoined Facebook, have to keep in touch with the kiddies and relatives to plan for some serious camp time. I unloaded and re-loaded the car several times and now my room needs a full re-vamp. I read my book in the sun. Then I decided to go to dinner, why not! I went to this very authentic Mexican place downtown, wen I said for one the waiter looked at me like I was crazy- then I saw mostly large groups go there, The Chimichanga was outstanding! I ate it all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">At night here, we are on the very top of a large hill, so the sky looks like a massive umbrella with tons of stars, frogs sing..and in the morning the deer and rabbits are on the lawn. It is awesome.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In the morning, 5 am the commute was 35 minutes! not bad at all, I of coarse got up way to early, for a very </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">filled workload. Beach day with the kids, some sand volleyball ( Did I mention I love my job) I suck at beach volleyball, its been years. I may have to get some lessons from two pro players I know, because it was super fun, even thou I suck.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Afterward I had all this crap to do of running around, Transfer of funds, bill payments, car renewal..the list goes on..but its all part of getting the shit done!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">The only busy part of the commute home was in Vancouver- The rest was smooth sailing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I managed to pick up my items I need out of storage for my ZEN patio. We are doing a yoga space/ table garden area for the summer, just off from my bedroom the deck wraps around the house.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">It is going to take a little time to mentally prepare myself completely for all that I have done up to this point.

I am not sure if it was the full moon, or its just Vancouver in Spring, but this spring I have to rely on the stories of my girlfriends for the wacky world of dating. I am off Pof, and Facebook. I had some dating sites up that I don't remember pass codes for to delete, match.com and OKcupid, I think these were vacant profiles, no info no picture. For research purpose only. I love how I still get the odd message that says, I really love your style and there is no picture or write up. <br />
<br />
Tonight I picked some women and their dating stories to share. More of a awareness blog post. I have also recently been back to dating. In my upheaval of a life right now..it was random and odd how it happened. Just a handful of dates that have all been great dates! I don't have one thing to write about! lol, I do know I have much change going on, it is alot of work and excitement and a date here and there just makes it all more exciting, can you define what is a good date from a bad one?<br />
<br />
If you are gut laughing, that is a good sign. If you can have a conversation longer than 5 mins, this is good. My last date, I went to a comedian show, the last guy to go on, said he had a thing with women that have male names, like Sam, but not Doug. Cause then when you are telling them what you are doing its just wrong. "Shout out my name" I'd rather not. I laughed and laughed- it was really alot of fun.<br />
<br />
I will give famous actresses as the names, to the 3 women I have chosen to share their stories with you tonight, and their age group.<br />

<br />
All these women are gorgeous amazing women. High roller women. This means all make more money than the average tradesmen, All are smart, all have kick-ass bodies. In fact all 3 of my ladies girlfriends could be movie stars as the pictures above. All are OK with being single, meaning they enjoy their life as is and do not complain of "I wish I had a man"<br />
<br />
One is Single, One is married. One had to change her life drastically. I only picked three specific women out of 10 single girlfriends that I hang out with. I say single, as in they are involved in extra curricular activities, weather they are dating, actually single, exclusive or married or separated. You will never find their identity because this is my UNLISTED group, meaning you cannot find these women on social media- So gents, if you are getting excited that their are these women floating around in my circles of media, you will not find them.<br />
<br />
So lets talk about men first. Ever hear of Ashley Madison? Find out something new every day.<br />
I now trust absolutely no one. I am disgusted and repulsed. I truly now have seen it all. We will talk about this site later on.<br />
<br />
OK so after studying dating in Vancouver for 7 years, being highly disappointed with some of our more popular sites, like POF, Match.com. Realizing that the site should be called "Plenty Of Fuck"<br />
Also realizing their are plenty of lifers on there and many have issues including the women. I can say their are some good people on their, however they never change and keep running the same pattern over and over and hence never really find someone based on good merit. I really could not do the site anyway as a serial monogamist.<br />
<br />
I would go on their for writing purposes and sometimes I was just too busy to get out there. I realized over two years that sporting events, work events and meet up groups were a much better option. My own sporting activities also rotate every year with new people. I actually met some men this way that were quality men. There is still hope for YOU! In April, I took the 3 best candidates on POF and closed the account down. One was a VPD, who never got around to asking me out, just texted me on his night shift-Lame. Second was the worst two dates I have ever had. The 3rd was a pop up new member who joined as I was closing my account. I think he was on it a week and got off of it. Now, I live off the skirts of my high powered Gurlz and their tales.<br />
<br />
Betty..lol..Oh Betty...<br />
Well she lives in my life style I had, about 4 years ago, 3 jobs, two are casual. She was raised very religious and still has god in her heart. Betty has a little bit of a freak side to her, a rebel. This is a women, that no matter what is going on in her life she is smiling and positive on the outside. She is a natural caregiver, a neutered. Most men would think, A Nice Girl. WRONG.<br />
She is very nice, until you give her a reason to not be nice. She will never explain why, you simply will never hear from her again. She will never tell a man off. You simple will not be able to get a hold of her.<br />

<br />
Betty is on OK Cupid. The latest conversation was the man saying what do you like in your man smoothie?? The way I read it, was maybe he makes smoothies? I make a killer man smoothie, that shit will give you energy all day. I said maybe its a turn on? you can make a killer smoothies and then offer up a hike or something. I mean the guy was HOT. Oh no, that is not how it went down....lol<br />

Betty and I at least, once a month sit over a drink in which Betty discusses ways to piss off her parents. Betty is 38 yrs old.<br />
Her father is a pastor, in their home, every time she goes home, it is like she is the mule that was put out to paster. It is never a good feeling, so she has been taking a break. The latest get together she discussed how she has never brought home a man. Betty blurted out, I like black men. I said " There you go bring home a large 6'5 linebacker see what they have to say about that", Personally it would be interesting for her to just say shes gay. I am getting the feeling her famm may be a tad racist. I make a good gay women, I could go over there with her and put on a real show. :D<br />
<br />
My advice for Betty is a life style change, get out there. change your scenery. If you really want it you will give up something to have it.<br />
<br />
Next Up Avril...<br />
<br />
I had no idea there was issues in the marriage or in the bedroom for that matter. This is a women who is all class. She is the type of women that most men think they cant have, partly because of her career and her looks. She is in a career that requires her to investigate and deal with high powered men.<br />
On the flip side she is highly feminine and romantic with a bit of freak. We have the same astrological sign :) Actually many of my friends are the same sign as me, its weird. Instead of a dirty little secret, Avril grabbed the horns and said, our marriage is over romantically, I am seeking a partner for intimacy. I am not leaving. I am leaving the bedroom. Not exactly something you hear everyday. She had quite the dirty little secret with her friends for quite sometime. Until a large bottle of wine came out one night and I was the first to hear of the story.<br />
<br />
So there is a dating site called Ashley Madison. The site is for unhappily married people. Cheaters.<br />
I had to go on and see this for real. So I put up a fake profile, no picture. I was indeed shocked to hell.<br />
there are different sections, attached, living codependency, open marriage, single..friendships, forums to discuss your shitty marriage, travel escorts. First off, there were some POF single men on there looking to fuck married women so there would be no attachments. Second there were married professional men I knew on there. Thirdly, a lot had weird masks on and when you request their private profile- it is all PENIS.<br />
<br />
It is basically a porn site. So when Avril told me she met her man on there i was a little worried. They basically did the friendship of discussing their shitty marriage. Then the guy separated, then they dated. I read some of the "50 shades of married people" emails and was really shocked. I was a little turned on by the descriptive content, however I was a little put off by it as well.<br />
<br />
I was impressed how Avril put the guy up for a challenge however- all based on "Why Men Love Bitches" A well know book that all women should own. Bitches, means: Beautiful, Intelligent, talented creative and honest. Basically it means be true to yourself, your worth and value. It follows the tell tale truths about "The Rules"<br />
I agree there are allot of marriages that just die and fizzle out and sometimes you need to walk away. I do not agreed with this method. It did turn out for my one friend, however it is a very very risky game to play...<br />
the one exciting thing I love about this friend is she is always thinking of new ways to keep him on his toes and quite frankly its exciting. It is sexual, passionate and fun. Because things started out with friendship and intellectual banter..he never really knows when hes going to have sex again, so when it happens it is pretty hot. I mean they are in a relationship..so is it going to happen at bedtime? at the end of the night? not always:D...It may just happen on a lunch hour in a private office..it is pretty hot.<br />
If you like sex and are comfortable with yourself and are willing to throw some spice in the mix, well this is what truly keeps things going.. most times its the chase first, then keep it going.<br />
<br />
Don't give up your life for a dude. If the guy met you as a 4 times a week gym girl who had a social life and liked to go to dance class- that's the girl he liked, not the one who is now eating chips on the couch watching Netflix waiting for him to come over. just saying.<br />
<br />
That's how she keeps it alive, I have yet to hear whats up with her lately...I think she should write a Xrated novel for us all to read. I would read it.<br />
<br />
Renee...Sigh...see how her mouth is slightly open there in the picture? Highly sexual being, to men and women. This is my friend who has a new tale every time we have wine night. Now it takes a bit of prodding for her to kiss and tell, but when she does, I am either sitting there going..how come I haven't done that..or when? where? Whaaaaa?<br />
The single promiscuous girl who prefers no strings attached unless its on her terms and you fit a certain quota. She gets what she wants when she wants it. For example, guy comes in to the gym and they have a few eye contact sessions, by the 2nd week hes pushing her up a steamy wall in the change room and kissing her fully on the mouth with a finger up her pussy. In the movies right? I just want that after work in my own shower.<br />
<br />
Well she fell for a guy a few years back now. Single dad, met at a local location. real earthy guy, a dirty hippy so to speak, as my redneck son always told me "Never trust the Hippy, Mom" little did he know our family had a long line of hippies in it..lol<br />
<br />
This guy could give her babies. For awhile she stopped and realized she was falling into the "Nice Girl" category. doing his laundry, cooking, buying shit..If you are not a challenge in the beginning he will loose interest, he may even feel like hes dating his mother. She found she was nagging- when you nag, its over. My parents nagged and fought- I will never Nag. If you don't have common respect for your partner, then get the fuck out.<br />
<br />
This guy was nothing compared to some of the hot steaming stories of men I heard she was with in the past. I did not get it. I really did not see the attraction. We are going to step aside from the story here, for one second.<br />
<br />
Now we are back to a trust issue. There is ZERO men in Vancouver to trust. Look in the mirror and repeat after me: There are zero men in Vancouver to trust, or just there are zero men you can trust" Hence the dating site for married men and seeing men I know on there"<br />
The only real person you can trust is yourself. There are quite a few check marks to get in line for real trust. I have fucked up myself in a few. However I don't bend for anyone now. Until trust is established, there are no men you can or should trust.<br />
<br />
1) Have a medical report that the guy is 100%STD free, if he likes you, he will get it.<br />
2) Investigate: google him, Do some history.<br />
3) If he changes his story, there is something up.<br />
4) If you met him on a dating site, take extra caution.<br />
<br />
I am not saying stalk him, live your life and see what unfolds, follow your gut and don't put all your cards into that person until hes proven he is completely transparent.<br />
<br />
Well Renee, fully trusted this person, she met him locally (no dating sites) He had kids (had family values) He did not involve himself in media (she could not find anything) His story did not change (she met his entire family)He had almost no male friends. (loner)<br />
<br />
Renee realized the sex was diminishing. In fact she was getting ready to dumb his ass. Then she got sick. Very sick. He neglected to tell her he had HSPV, when she confronted him, he said oh, the cold sores on my dick- no big deal.<br />
<br />
So now we have a 32 year old who still wants marriage and to have babies and has to change her entire life. The free spirit is no longer. On the positive side, its like reverting back to old school..<br />
20 dates till you love me. I had that on my original profile, 20 first dates, most men didn't even give a rats ass. Well- I think its a good motto for anyone. I guess it depends what you are looking for right?<br />
<br />
HSPV is up to 80% in Vancouver, one of the fastest and incurable STDs out there.<br />
you can contain it and never have a outbreak. However if you sleep with someone, they are likely to get it, even if you don't have a flare up. Protection will not help you. 5 great friends of mine are infected HSPV. It is because it is so rapid and people get caught up in the moment and fuck up.<br />
Fortunately you can finally be tested for it.<br />
<br />
So yeah..Renee's life changed. But....Renee got her groove back. It was about a year of really taking accountability for ones life and choices. She did find new methods of dating, and had some pretty exciting stories recently.<br />
<br />
Her life is very full. She recently told me she hasn't even noticed about being single, this made me very happy.<br />
<br />
She is on a exclusive site, but you know what? IT's no different!!!why would it be? you still get the type of jerks on any other site for anyone else.<br />
<br />
There is the odd chance you meet a great person on a dating site, most of these types get frustrated in a week or two and get outside and involve themselves in activities, like I did. I still blogged about it because I wanted women to know that there is so much more than sitting on a site hoping your dream guy is gonna show up there. I wanted to point out what it is and what you will find.<br />
It is like 1 out of 100, that you meet that one guy that is hoping to find something, and gives it a shot and then decides he doesn't have time to waste away his life at a computer. Active, fit healthy people are not sitting around waiting for someone. They are taking life by the horns.<br />
<br />
Do it now.<br />
