definition of a lady.

Beauty, Poise and Grace.

These remind me of that every morning.

Rainy Sunday Morning.

As much as I love the sun, there is something about waking up the sound of the rain hitting on window. The gloomy colours seem to inspire me to get work done.

Slowly working on the blog and the Visionboard...

And getting back into the game <3

grumble.

Ive completely changed my lifestyle...
Health Focused.
Gym 5x week
Clean Eating.

I feel amazing.

But when I dont order a milkshake at Peters Drive-in, please dont assume that its because Im concerned about the calorie count.

Im Lactose Intolerant!
Dairy makes me feel like complete shit, so I avoid.

Dont lecture me about how 'you dont need to lose weight, you're tiny'...
I know this.
Trust me, I do.

new favorite thing.

Today is definitely one of those days that remind me of how much I want to be out of the office workplace, I truly hate being confided to a desk….

Can I just wear a polka dot dress, dance barefoot in the grass and take photographs?
Office politics suck zest for life, even when you take measures to avoid it.
Un-asked for life lectures from a boss that only seems to think she knows who you are and what is best for you.
Childish antics over customer control, since sales traffic is down.
Understanding that you will get that evil eye when requesting ANY time off.

Making the leap to fully follow my dream still remains daunting…
But don’t worry it will be made….
Not immediately but soon.
Otherwise I may lose my mind.

Im not meant to work for someone else.
Im not meant to work in this environment.

Im different.
Im talented, creative and passionate.
Too much energy and spirit to sit at a desk all day long.
And well, sometimes a girl just needs to break out and dance…

<3

maybe i should just...

        Quit my day job and make brownies all day... 

                                                     

As a co-worker described, 'its like heaven in a tin'...

Another, 'best brownie ive ever had'...

Did I miss my calling??



im officially failing at blogging these days...
figured i would post a little update as i prepare for another week ahead.

january has been busy, surprising and a touch questioning...

school - completed in december. truly bittersweet.

have the best roommate - same low-key attitude and bond over making fun of the over-the-top brides of TLC, eating horrible processed foods because its easier and hoping our cars start with the -30s.

raise and promotion - the promotion i had started to think i was never going to get. so eeek. it will take a lot of work to be successful but bring on the challenge.

photos - after finishing what i have now, im taking a little break of shooting for other people. i havent shot for myself in forever and i feel it. i let it become too much of a job and my best work comes when i dont feel it is.

captured design - website launch is set for next month... other than that, slowing the push down. im headed to burn out. its a lot to work fulltime at a demanding job, then come home and build your business. i need to be a little more patient with it than i have been, for my own good.

boyfriend - schedules, winter and vehicle issues have kept us apart for far too long... i hate it...

family - great.

i hope everyone has been just as lucky as i have been this month... here is to great beginnings, dreams coming true and winter leaving soon...
