Quote of the Day


"What we really want to do is what we are meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do doors open, we feel useful and the work we do feels like play to us."
-Julia Cameron

Today I am chasing a small dream and trying for something that I would love to do! 
We will see! I'll keep you posted!

New Possibilities


I'm off to work early today so there is little time to blog but I'm beyond thrilled because I have a job interview tomorrow with my dream company! My fingers are crossed and I'll reveal all as soon as I know the details! I feel so positive and excited I could burst. Life is pretty beautiful right now! 

Have a wonderful day! I, for one, have a Gravol hangover because I took one in the hopes of a decent night's sleep. Finally! I actually had one. In the meantime, wishing I was here in this magical little cottage, reading a book by the fire... xoxo

Crossroads


Yesterday was an off day. It was great in many aspects but I still feel at odds with the world. My best friend and I spent quality time together and it was much needed but I found myself with tears rolling down my face as we drove back into the city after our fun, girly excursion. It was an overwhelming few moments (no longer) of frustration and I couldn't talk myself out of it. Luckily I have a wonderfully supportive bff who calms me down~ and the cry was cleansing and cathartic at least. 

There have been so many "life" questions lately and in that moment, there were too many. I am a very introspective person but all this quiet contemplation only serves to make me miserable and stressed! Perhaps it's best to deal with one thing at a time, something small that I can handle and something that I do have control over (like, hmmmmm, what to do with my life? not small but in my control at least). Taking on too much at once is simply too overwhelming. I need to simplify, breathe, make some decisions, take care of myself. 
Changes to come in the future.

I was driving home late last night and I was nearly stopped dead (in my car, um, not a good idea) by a billboard on the side of the road. I grabbed my phone, not wanting to forget it, and tapped it into my message pad at a stop light. 

"We are not made to understand life but just to live it."

How wonderful. We don't have to comprehend this whole crazy thing we share called life. Just live it. Simplifying. I love it.

I Bow Down To You, Gonzo Journalist


My friend (and boss) Chris is a completely kick ass writer. There is no other way to describe it. He's insanely funny and entertaining, but layered with depth. Once in awhile he'll bring something to me to preview for him and those are always my favourite late nights at work because I know I'll get to end my evening laughing my tush off. Yet he's not all fun and games. Chris is also a food writer for local publication Vancouver Magazine, so he also gets squired around the city to the newest and yummiest restaurants, where he gets treated like gold and then has to review his experience. Tough life, Gonzalez. Here are a few of Chris's recent fantastic stories:

Summer's Gone Right Down The Tubes, Georgia Straight (read this now, you'll die laughing)

Italy in a Bowl, Vancouver Magazine

Search Party, Vancouver Magazine

Also, follow Chris on Twitter at GonzoJournalism. Never have I seen such hilarity in 140 characters. Trust me. (I don't Twitter, I just watch him update. Constantly.) 

ps- Thanks for the Ally Redhead shout out on Twitter, Chris! You're the best!
