Lemon Meringue Pie & A Pychotherapist

My Kondo Journey 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.   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. 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? The challenge for me in most homes is they hire me to clean,...

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. 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 l...

Good Morning Cameno!# 10DBC #freedomplan 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. My Holiday : 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. 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 ...

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.

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 b...

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.# 10DBC #freedomplan I wish it could be as simple as those three words, I guess it really can be that simple. My Procrastination: 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. My Overwhelm: The fear of success been a evil seed in my being for many years. After bein...

I have asked questions over the years, that most...

Write a blog post about what you will do, when you will do it, and how it will get you closer to your dreams.

Day 3- 10 Day Blogging Challenge-# 10DBC #freedomplan The Perfect Day -http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/10-day-blog-challenge/10dbc-day-3 I am to write my perfect day,  how I envision the perfect day to be. So here goes. 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. 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...

Day 2 of the 10 day blog Challenge. What is Freedom to Me? Why Do I want to live a life of freedom and how will this impact the lives of others, or how do I think it will?# 10DBC #freedomplan Sometimes when you scream to the universe that things are just not working, things happen. 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. Friends opened their doors, I put thin...
