Two Months?! Too Long!!

Hi friends!

I am sorry.

Wow, it's been waaay too long since I have posted an entry here! I keep thinking to myself, I should do this! But I end up not doing it. :/ Apologies to my followers.

I guess I'll give you a quick update on what's been going on in the past while! I'm loving what I do for work, but not so much the company I am working for. Which sucks. It's been planted into my head though that I should go work with people with disabilities. So I'm looking into that! (I know for sure that I need something that is going to get the bills paid. Right now, what I'm bringing in ain't cutting it.) My sister and I are also moving to a new (cheaper!!) place! So that should help! And I am loving Pottery Club, and working on some really cool industrial mugs! Can't wait to show you guys! I also started my Health Basics class yesterday, and I am excited for it! Soon I'm hoping to post my "Before" pictures.
To my friends over at Creatively Fit, I am sorry I haven't been active in this. And I'll be quite honest, I'm not sure how active I will be in the next while. :/
The 100 Thing Challenge is something I am keeping in the back of my mind. And I think having to pack to move has kind of helped me go through things and decide to get rid of some stuff.

Anyway, here's hoping I can find time! And get back to you! And in less than two months this time.

So, here I stay, waiting for a new opportunity that may bring me more money and more time.

Thinking Feeling

Ok, I don't know exactly how to say what it is right now that I am feeling, so I am just going to say it.

I feel like I am destined for great things.

Even in my "struggles" (And I "quote" that because, compared to many in this world, my struggles would be a walk in the park!) I still have hope. Like, I don't know when or how (Like, seriously, HOW?!?) I'm going to get through some of these labyrinth pathways that are forced in front of me, but I can see a light coming from somewhere!

I'm an artist. I know, it's hard to see, seeing I dropped -- err, flunked (heh heh ... ) out of art college. And what have I done in the past year since being out of school? Oh, maybe a painting. But I still feel called to it. Well, I feel called to something ... I dunno. Just called.

All I know is that God is far from finished with me. And He's taking care of me. And He's got great things in store for me! And I also know that I desperately need to get in touch with Him again. Because, I miss Him. And I am sure He misses me more than I could ever know.

And then these things, like being better to my body -- the temple of His Holy Spirit; and putting less value in secular consumerist things, and more value in genuine relationships, and love, and joy (!!) will come much easier. At least I hope.

And these worries, and these desires of my heart, like a husband, a family, a home of my own, a garden to provide for my family, they'll all come.

I think I know where I have to start. I'm signed up for the Intro to Health Basics Class, and I'm going to join Pottery. But I need a better handle on my finances, this I know! And, most importantly, I need to get back in with the church. I've found a church I like! And I go every other Sunday -- because right now that's all I get off! But I need a community again. And, it's not surprising that this is the hardest of these challenges for me to face right now. (Ok, so maybe the finances too ... but I know what I have to do there! And it's just plain ol' not be stupid!)

...

So sorry if I lost you in all this mess. Believe it or not though, for me, it kinda helped.

... I think,

Yeah, we'll leave it at that.

Playing Catch-Up

And here I find myself playing catch-up once again. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't put thought towards writing an entry, (or even finishing one of my many started entries!) or read any of your entries, for a good two weeks.

You know, you get home from a full day at work -- and it is a full day for me, I leave the house at 9:00, and don't often get home until 8:30 that evening -- and you just don't feel like doing anything!

And then, you get two days off. Well, the first day is so full of plans with friends and general laziness, that you find yourself saying, "Oh shoot! I was going to do this and that today; I'll have to do those things tomorrow!" And then tomorrow arrives, and you that other thing. But this, this is not a necessity, so it can slide.

I know I keep saying it, but I will be playing catch-up with all my reading soon! (Heh, you should see all the Boundless articles I have bookmarked in my faves, waiting to be read!) And I'll be getting back on track with my 100 Thing Challenge, weight losing, and being Creatively Fit, ... and washing dishes ... yeah, that too.

And for those of you that have been encouraging me, thank you. Your encouragement is a real blessing, and I hope not to see the end of it any time soon.

So, until next time!

Beautiful Irony

This is too cool not to share!

I was over at Ter's blog "With an Angel on my Shoulders" where she is celebrating her 100 Followers and Two Year milestones! (Congratulations!) And to celebrate, she is having a fun contest! (Who doesn't love free stuff?!) To enter, all you have to do is -- well, follow her, first of all -- and then leave her a comment as to why you follow her blog. I wrote her a sweet message ...



... and check out what the word verification is. (err, kinda)

I think someone else agrees -- even if they make typing errors once in a while. ;D

Creatively Fit!

Thank you Cindy @ Chalk It Up! for inviting me to the Creatively Fit team! I haven't started my walking regime yet, but I'm already planning to go out and get some photos while camping this week!

I am looking forward to walking and shooting (and losing!) with you all!

And really, you needed a Canuck.
:P

Guhh, ... there was something else I was going to do .. or say ... but I forget. Oh well.
But, while you're at it, please check out my new "About Me!"
