Catfish....the show!

So I have recently started watching a show on MTV called Catfish. It is a crazy show! I mean I can definitely relate especially having been through an online dating site. I can't say I have ever had an online relationship....but definitely met someone from online. I am currently in a very happy relationship with the man of my dreams whom I met online! In our case it worked out! We met and everything clicked. But we were definitely lucky! But that has a lot to do with the type of people we are. Honesty is the best policy when it comes to anything! Watching this show just makes me realize how lucky I am to have met an amazing guy online.

Me, Myself and I....

So recently I have been in the dating scene again....and I must say, ladies it is a sad, sad world out there. I mean you put yourself out there and man getting shot down sucks. I have sucked it up and decided that I am going to give it a break for awhile, just forget about it and see what happens.  Maybe the right guy will find me?

Who would have thought that dating was this hard? Really I mean....I am at a loss for words when I think about the past couple dates I have been on. Then the one guy who seemed promising....yeah total psycho.

I am freaking awesome. Full of sunshine and quarkyness....I know there has to be someone out there....

 All I can say is stay tuned.....

10 Things I am Doing Before I Turn 30....

You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it. ~ Charles Buxton

I think pretty much everyone who is going to turn 30 or who is no longer 5 yrs away from turning 30 starts to freak out and think....OMG I am going to be OLD....or at least that is kind of how I feel. I mean I know by all means 30 is NOT old, far from it, but it is "that age" that signals you are no longer in your 20's and it really is time to start settling down/planning if you haven't for your future. I am 27 turning 28 this year and as my best friend and I always say....OMG we are so close to 30....it is scary.....

So this is what I have planned a "Goal list" of sorts.....10 Things I am going to do before I'm 30.... I will also blog about each one! :) *I promise* It is going to be the kick off to my "Adult years" ha, ha, ha, ha.

So here goes....

1. Get a tattoo. - I have wanted this for a LONG time and I keep putting it off, so as they say "No time like the present!"

2. Travel outside of Canada - I have done this, but it was to a Nascar race. It was for work....so really it was not a purely fun trip. I want a fun trip out of Canada!

3. Volunteer on a regular basis. - I have volunteered for events before, but I want to actually sign up and volunteer my time on a regular basis to a association/organization that helps people on a daily basis.

4. Have concrete plans to go back to school. - I want to either do my BA in Psychology, or go back to college to become a Social Worker.

5. Throw a successful charity event. - Raise money for a worth while cause.

6. Find the right shade of Red lipstick! I have been searching forever for this shade and let me tell you I have failed. I want to find a shade of red lipstick that suits me!

7. Make $1000 in one year selling Avon. I have sold Avon for quite some time now and I haven't really made a profit. I have regular customers....but I need to build my business further....

8. Go to a spa....I have never gone, however I deserve to be pampered!

9. Find a good guy. I know that they say when you are looking you are less likely to find one, so I am giving up and letting nature take it's course! What will be will be! :)

10. Take a photography course! I love photography, I would like to learn how to do it better! So I think I would like to take a course to learn better techniques of photography!

Dream a dream....

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will. ~ Zig Ziglar
Do you remember when you were young and your imagination was never ending? You believed anything was possible. That you could be a superhero, a doctor, a lawyer or even a movie star.
When did that change? When did we all start to believe that it wasn't possible? Was it when negativity started to enter our lives? When we decided we couldn't possibly do what seems so far beyond our reach? Or is it that we all just became too content with settling for less?
I think we need to revert back to that time, the time when you believed nothing was unachievable. When we all had the unmistakable drive and dreams. That anything is within our reach. Do you think if we all started to revert to that way of thinking that the world would be a better place?
I don't know? But it really gets you thinking.

Welcome Back.....

You are BRAVER than you believe, STRONGER than you seem... and SMARTER than you think! ~ A.A. Milne / Winnie the Pooh

Welcome....

To all my readers, as you can see none of the past posts remain. This is in essence a fresh start. As I have decided to take a leap of faith and start living on the positive side. This is a New Year, a year of infinite possibilities. Things that have happened in the past, have happened I believe to teach me how to be a better person. The lessons may have sucked, but in the end I think that they did exactly what they were meant to do and that is to teach me to keep moving forward and to have faith that everything will work out the way it is meant to in the end.

So this is a new page in my journal. Left for me to write as I see fit. No more past bothers and dwelling on things that didn't work out and analyzing over and over again why they didn't work out because in the end it doesn't matter. What matters is the future and what you choose to make of it. How happy you choose to be, because YOU are in charge of your own happiness, others don't control you, YOU control YOU!

So on with the new beginnings, a year of infinite possibilities.
