It’s not that 2008 was necessarily a bad year. More like it was a hard year. A year where I noticed that my life was not what I wanted it to be at all, and as a result, went through lots and lots of growing pains. And I mean lots. And loudly. With lots of [...]
I was feeling completely overwhelmed yesterday. I was in a total panic. It was my first day back to working again after the holidays. I thought that I’d be able to slide back into it, no problem, but boy was I wrong. I sat down to work and had not a clue where to start. [...]
So my calendar has informed me that it is now December 29th. Which means that there are only 2 days left of 2008. Excuse me, Time, but when did I give you permission to go so fast, hmm? So I’ve decided today to do a year in review, since we didn’t do a Positivity Friday [...]
Well it’s Christmas tomorrow. It kind of snuck up on me this year. I mean, I’ve been preparing for it, but all of a sudden it’s tomorrow, and I don’t feel ready for it. I usually love Christmas, but mostly because of the warm, twinkly, tacky lights, and baking with my mom. We don’t have [...]

Julia Cameron talks about the synchronicity, [...]
So yesterday I went to Jesse’s house for his birthday in the middle of a raging snowstorm. I had to actually walk into his neighbourhood from the main road because if my dad, who was crazy enough to drive me to the other side of town, decided to drive into the neighbourhood, he would have [...]
So I’m writing this Thursday night. I know. Fail. This is supposed to be Positivity Fridays, not Positivity Thursday Nights. However, my Friday is going to be pretty intense. For the majority of the morning and early afternoon, I’ll be out consulting for designing someone’s website. (Yes, I know. I paint, not design websites, right? [...]
I’m still feeling kind of wobbly after yesterday. Better, of course, because of the huge outpouring of support from everyone around me (I love Twitter) and of course, the wonderful and marvelous Havi invited me to vent to her inbox, which I totally needed and made me feel much better.
