Does the question bear to be repeated?

Can’t we just be… as we are, madly in love and happy that we have each other. Neither a dress nor a day in a dress can make this any better than it is. 

So why does everyone keep asking?

Oh no!

My heart is beating out of my chest.
Going out on a limb is a scary thing to do.

How Dare You!!

   Speaking on behalf of “everyone” is a real daring thing to do. Words should be chosen carefully as to explicitly express the collective, and not the personal views of themselves. Some words cannot be taken back and will shape the future to which “everyone” will have to live with. Although the speaker may be embarrassed by what was said afterwards, asking to have it not repeated to this same group is a plea I cannot fulfill. These comments leave me no choice but to take a tally of whom this collective is, in order to find the truth.

   To the speaker: I hope your ducks are all in a row. 

Dear Bug in my throat,

I have gone four days without a voice and have managed to communicate otherwise.

I WIN!!

... Now go away!

Best email EVER!

My feet are cold, but it’s ok because my heart is warm, because I love you.

Is anybody still reading this?!

My newest venture has kept me unbelievably busy, ever done a reno before? Sheesh! Didn’t believe it would take 6 months, and we’re on #7.

Today we finished the 1^st coat of paint and I finally feel as though the day might come when I have a home again. No more squatting in my old bedroom with my boyfriend and our dog. Being able to cook my own meals and do groceries! After paint comes wallpaper, checkerboard wall, wainscoting boxes, floors, then doors, then trim, then kitchen cabinets, then the bathroom, then move in. That stills sounds like a lot of work, but when you consider the work that has been done already, that’s nothing. 

Scary thought huh?

Farewell West Coast

And so it’s over. This life, dream, and ambition will have to be thread through a new needle. When love has two faces, passion comes in third. Later is where it will be found again, and with new meaning and hopefully more love. I will be leaving, and hope to come back. I am stunned at my lack of longing to stay. I know I will miss this place and people scattered around it, though can’t feel it yet. Maybe when I leave it will hit me, and it will be too late, and I too far to do anything about it. I hope I’m not making a mistake. I hope this will lead me where I want to go.

Vancouver, remember me!

Toronto, welcome me (back)!

Oh How We Love To Love

The joining of souls happens when you least expect it. When you laugh so hard together, you think you’ll stop breathing, when you feel comfort from their presence or when you’ll do anything to see them smile. Two souls confirmed their love through marriage this weekend, and what a beautiful sight it was. I was lucky enough to be welcomed to this joyous event, and enjoyed every second.

Congratulations to the lovely couple!

Say Thank You?

While it is true that a job well done is not always recognized, it is sad to see when the recognition is of a disapproving tone. Some people might find that a good look in the mirror may be helpful when deciding who is actually the asshole in certain situations. While not every decision made by those around is going to be the same choice you would have made, respecting these decisions will help you build character. Alternatively, you could do it yourself, become the brunt of all problems, and see what thankless work feels like. That being said, I would like to thank those who have helped make my life easier. In return, I will extend the offer of helping in anyway I can, so to make your life easier. 

Success

I love, love, love when friends step in to help. A rather daunting task, which could have otherwise sent me through he roof in frustration, was swiftly executed today. My photo-shoot was a breeze, and the pictures turned out magnificent! As I am a minimalistic person in most ways, it was nice that she was abler to capture this approach on film. Madame, you know who you are, and I thank you sooooo much for your help. J
