new year...new focus! (new haircut!)

Hi. Happy New Year! and, just as importantly, Happy Tuesday.

After a bit of a break from reading the news over the holidays, I have decided to resume my blog and my life with a new and improved perspective, with a better refined focus...on the GOOD stuff.

As a believer in the Law of Attraction, that law which simply declares "like attracts like", I am choosing to focus on what makes me feel good, on what gets my juices flowing, on the wonderful waves that rock my fantastic boat. Naturally, I greatly value information about what is happening in the world and will never intend to turn a blind eye to global events. But I have affirmed for myself that I value my power to shape what WILL BE more...

And so in order for me to step fully into my role as a "good-doer", I must keep my focus on the vision of what I wish to see, as opposed to my reactions to what already IS. Having been conditioned to be a "reactor" my whole life, this shift will take a bit of practice, but boy am I up for it.

I'm allowing myself to start with the small things...little changes I can begin to implement on a daily basis, that will improve my degree of presence and thus diminish the liklihood of me going on auto-pilot. For example:

1. I want to eat more slowly, chewing and savoring my food without the distraction of reading the news or watching a video. This way I will ensure the absorption of nutrients my body needs to keep it strong and healthy and grounded.

2. I intend to listen more, and interupt WAY less. I recognize my habit of interjecting my ideas when others are talking and that's just rude! The way to fight fire is not with more fire. Likewise, if I can be one less needy ego in the world, well...then there's one less needy ego in the world. 'nuff said!

3. I refuse to beat myself up anymore! It's hard enough being alive on a wild & crazy, spinning planet of beauty & madness. I certainly will be better off if I befriend myself to the point of non-judgement. To simply honour my perfectly flawed self is to emit more waves of love into the world, rather than those of fear, anxiety and sadness.

Three is enough to start! And I will certainly add more as they come to me.

I just want to let you know that it is my intention with this blog to have you feel better than you did when you first came to my page. To post info and vids and docs and passages that enlighten and enliven the spirit! To be a proponent of beauty and light and art and magic....

Enjoy your day and days...

this is the very coolest thing!

A very cool man has devised a very cool pair of glasses which the wearer can adjust to match her prescription. Not only is this idea genious enough, but he also intends to distribute them to the ones who cannot afford to pay for such a services as lens replacements. Read about it!

speaking of income tax...

...looks like ours will be used for our own little Canadian bail-out, totalling in the neighbourhood of about $30 billion!!!

I love reading the comments, as they are the most uplifting part of this article. The peeps are cutting through the spin of the media and speaking up. Harper lied when he said he would not run a deficit and now he fully intends too.

And the people see his hypocrisy...let's keep our eyes open, because there is more to come...

wanna stop paying income tax?

well here's your LEGAL way out!

Read on, people...know your rights!

this is exactly how I feel sometimes!

new adventure

Wow.
It's been one week since I last posted....too long.
Admittedly, I've been more in my head than "in the world" because I have been inspired to reassess my life and ponder new directions.

My wonderful sister had been away from home for a year, traveling to exotic places and partaking in amazing activities along the way. I met up with her last week to hear her stories and as a result of our visit, I am now doing research on where I may like to move to next. It's not a case of "not liking" Toronto, but rather a case of desire for adventure and change.

Ideally, I am looking for a culture and community that is less rat-race oriented and more "back to basics". I am also craving natural beauty like it's a vitamin I'm severely lacking. I want to wake up and see mountains or trees or water rather than the blinking sign of my not so pretty but super-convenient neighbour: the Eikona Chinese restaurant. Don't get me wrong- I love my life and am not complaining about what it looks like.

Just simply, I seek to expand....!

So far Australia, Thailand and India are in consideration...I'd also love to do a bike tour of Europe...perhaps get my citizenship and then...?

I'll keep ya posted on any developments regarding this exciting new project.

Blessings to you, and may your life be an adventure!
