Be Monday- Do you want to be yourself? Do you want to be true?

Life is hard. We are being dragged in every direction before we even get out of bed. Not very often do we get these sweet moments where we feel really true to our selves. You know the feeling, that euphoric light love feeling where you are just completely.....happy.



Unfortunately as we get older we often lose sight of that person and that feeling. The good news is it's never gone and if you want you can have it back as often as possible. It's very important to tap into this as often as possible. This is the secret of truly happy and successful people. You will be a better wife, husband, mother, friend, daughter, niece, neighbour, coworker..etc.
So how do you do it?

There are a number of ways and it will vary from person to person. I find meditation helps, Florence Welsch suggests you dance the devil off your back, and visulization can also help. But take it slow, there is no room for being hard on yourself here. That's conteractive.

So if you want to try you can simply close your eyes for a moment and breathe. Consciously follow your breath down to your belly and back up and think of one of the happiest moments in your life. The birth of your daughter? That moment at the cottage last summer when you woke up early and went out to the dock and really felt the morning, the evening your husband proposed, that time you stepped off the plane in a foreign country and felt this is it.

This seriously only takes maybe 30 seconds. You can pause and do this in the lineup at the grocery store. Or in the washroom after you wash your hands before you come back out or even right before you fall asleep.

Soon you will see this changes such as easier smiles, a happier heart, becoming more understanding and more yourself! (and don't get too excited now but you will also start to crave more!) Pausing will become wonderfully addictive. You will take the time to love yourself and then the skys the limit to your happiness!

So come on people "stop dragging that horse around!"

Please please please let me know if you tried this or what you think of it! I am dying to know!

P.S Thanks so much to Becky at Disasterous Jane for sharing this music video! It is so inspiring and beautiful!

Wednesdays are all about what we Wear

My style crush is this girl right here. She's outrageous! I wish so badly I could wear mens suits and look cool. I think my boobs are too big to be all done up to my neck and highwaisted slacks have never been my round belly's best friend. However I do remember in 1997 I had the coolest pale yellow 70's men's tux shirt that I found at ValueVillage. It was hot! Unfortunately I seemed to be the only one in love with it. :(

But there has to be a way!

I want to be Janelle Monáe!

Totally tempted!

How cool are The Temptations?!! We are putting the music list together for the wedding and they are on top of it for sure! Any other suggestions? What do you want to hear?

Do you want to smile? Just listen to Micky!

Isn't she adorable? I have a serious problem! I have listened and watched this video 6 times in a row now! AHHHHHH! Help me stop!

But seriously she is so much fun! I love it! Her name is Micky Green and she's an Australian singer who grew up in Paris. I first read about her on the chic photographer Garance Doré's blog. They are real live friends!
No fair!

P.S. I know Sue is going to love the styling in this video! Am I right?

Love and Hugs

Pretty songbirds

This is so pretty! I am so out of touch with Canada so I don't know if you have all heard it yet? These girls are from the west coast and I am totally loving their sound. Man I miss Canada!

How To Be Alone

Have you seen this lovely video? It makes me feel so warm and cozy....... and rings true as I feel quite alone after all the visitors left. I actually like to be alone but somewhere along the tourist season here at our apartment I became dependant on the faces of my friends and family and forgot how alone I can be day to day until Vince gets home. So I guess I am settling into my old lonely persona and this video makes it all seem okay.
P.S. Does anything in the video look familar to you?

I want to be a Motorcycle Momma!

Good Morning Everybody! I saw this video on my Mom's facebook and just fell in love. Sometimes I feel so frigin'far from home and this brings me right back. The beautiful vocals and lovely feeling of Nova Scotia brings tears to my eyes...literally!
I miss you Canada and all your gorgeous talent and warm friendly fuzzies!!
Love and Hugs

It might just save your life!

Happy Friday Everybody! Scroll through the video to the 2min mark to start the song. P.S How cool is that guy in the back with the dark shades and smoke hangin'out of his mouth! Rock on brother! Am I the only one who thinks it's time for a Huey Lewis and The News reunion comeback tour or wha?
