Your Mission:
I've been asking myself the question, What makes life so beautiful? And I can't help but think that lately, it's all in perspective and luck. What make's life so beautiful? It's all up to chance. Taking the time to be happy in your own company, go into the outdoors, plan microdates, watch movies with the ones you love. Being in love, having animals, being inspired. Life's all about the little things, the culmination of our choices, a ways down the path, it's either we gingerly walk the path, not rush nor be afraid to step. Life is beautiful, admire what you have.
Your mission:
Make 3 strangers smile.
Be creative and let me know how you did!
"Life gave me the chance to become sober, respect my life and the chance to become a mother. Nothing is more beautiful than waking up everyday to see my handsome son and my soon to be husband. Life showed me that it can be beautiful if you are
willing to stick around and see that it is"

“The fact that even if you regret something, make a big mistake, hurt someone or yourself, in time, it will pass. The hurt will go away, the mistake will become accepted, you will change, learn from it, and you will move on.
Even if I feel like the day couldn't get any worse the hope and faith that tomorrow will be better is what makes life so beautiful.”

That Feeling
There is nothing better than the feeling of being proud of yourself, today I feel like I've finally gotten this blog where I want to see it. I feel like it's about time for me to start writing on this blog more and remain more ambitious in the content I provide for you as my readers. My intention is to eventually ask people in the street or on the bus, what is it that makes life so beautiful, and let you in on what others see in this world. I want this blog, in time, to be a place where people can come to smile.
Skin is the threshhold between life, and death. A boundry not usually fatal in its event. The belief that you have the power is terrifying, and humbling. We are humans and we all have the same strength, which we have evolved over time, and that is the strength of understanding. Please end the wars. War stop being so indifferent of the word, war. The slaughter of the dismantled understanding between humans.
Life is a Constant Battle
Sometimes I wonder how I get by... Sometimes I wonder how I've made it this far and how I somehow achieved so much. And sometimes, in a glimpse of my true potential I realize I did it all by myself, and that I CAN keep achieving, I don't have to change for other people, for the sake of readers, or the sake of someones needless high appraisal, I have to live for myself or else I'll never enjoy the journey. I have to take the time for myself to just sit down and think, the moments I spend thinking are truly inspirational. Hope you guys have a good day/night, I'm off to bed it's 1:43 here in Canada!
I love you guys! And Remember there is no harm in asking for help, and doing so can make all the difference. xoxo

I think there may be a shift in what people are thinking leading a growing and unseen response for NDP PM Representative Jack Layton. We are seeing countless struggles all over the world with people in Libya, Egypt etc. that are attempting to change their governing, or controlling body.
I am not one to be caged, in fact I hope for utter freedom, however not negating the moral language of the Canadian people. I see murder, death and destruction as humans attempt to hold land fighting not only mother nature, but ourselves.
It seems that we are in a state of distrust with our governmental bodies, frustrations for the needs that aren't met, we are disappointed when the wrong choices are made in our name. Where this all leads is purely up to the future generations, to divulge with ill-nature of war and chaos, to rebuild a sense of respect and moral code for our public leaders and officials and return the idea of killing in wars from praiseworthy to sad and unfortunate, perhaps unnecessary.
If perhaps we could all agree on a moral rule over the world, an idea centered on the Hobbesian idea of self preservation. A blank piece of paper always says more than words written. To remove written all laws once we are sure that all people are over their (Prepare for Nietzsche's bias) guilt and frustration caused by society today, and teach all people of brothern and refuge in what it means to be human. I know that this will never come as religion and greed hold prevalence in public assembly. There is no openness for change and communal safety with bias and self indoctrinated unbudging closed-handedness.
Finding time to blog in an otherwise rushed morning always makes me happy. If you haven't noticed I haven't been keeping up with the blog for the past few days because I've been out of town. I have to say that I am so honoured to be part of Darryl's family. Everyone with their own quirks and amazing sense of humour, it's a perfect family for us to raise a family with. The more I get to know his family the more I seem to like them all, they are opinionated, honest and sometimes abrasive, but if there is anything I am it's those things, and I really respect that in people.
I finished my Winter Semester here at Nipissing University (Where I am currently sitting in the library) on April 19th and have been on "vacation" ever since. Darryl and I spent a few days at his parents house, his birthday was On April 30th so it was perfect timing for us to both be able to go home and enjoy some of that country air. His parents live on a large property, with a house they had built, which is beautiful to say the least, they also have a nice NEW barn for their 4 horses which hopefully they will finish sometimes in the next few years/months. They are a very welcoming family, never questioning or prodding but always seem to be able to make a quick witty jab if they think you are tough enough for it, which hilariously enough at first bothered me but now it is my favourite part of being there.
We had a great time, I met nearly all of his immediate family at this point which is always nice, when you can place a face to a name. Ricky, their German Shepherd pup has grown into a beautiful dog, but it showed me how long it's been since I had visited, last I was there the puppy was just a little teether, gnawing on my fingers, now she is a tall beautiful dog who stands as tall as my hip. And their dog Navi is still as active and cuddly as ever.
Everyone in the family seemed to be in good spirits, while we partied the night away, while we watched Nascar, ate cake, watched hockey and just hung out eating some amazing meals prepared by Darryl's mom Donna.
We were on our way home Sunday afternoon and our car broke down, busting a hose off the radiator, and who knew that a dime could save your life, apparently Noel, Darryl's dad did. What a smart and funny dude, coming to help us out as we sit at the side of the road laughing about how utterly silly the predicament we found ourselves in was.
Jaime and I, Darryl's younger sister, who is the same age as I am, had our first moment in their Uncle Gary's basement, as her Dad did something that I had no other knowledge as to think was out of character. I looked at her wide eyed and she mimicked my face as we both broke out laughing. She's a funny girl, and we get along well, little did I know we both LOVED America's Next Top Model. Also we had a fun time doing crosswords each day as we connected words (No lie) like taint and Uranus together.
Jamie's boyfriend Chad, who I can't stop calling Chad-oh, was a regular character making the weekend quiet fun and hilarious despite his embarrassing moments. Chad-oh was the trooper that night, I was in the clear after his escapades.
All in all I had an amazing time away from school and stress and as I sit here, less than an hour away of starting my (hopefully) last semester of University I feel like I'm in the right place, for once.
This Spring Semester I am taking a Women in the Bible Course with Dr. Adrian Langdon (A teacher I had previously for Peace and Nonviolence) as well as a teacher I've never had before Dr. Rene Valiquette with the course Women in Cinema. I don't usually take gender courses but it seems as though they are the only classes Nipissing seems to offer each summer.
Well Readers, in a typical Canadian fashion I am going to head downstairs for some Tim Hortons and cut our conversation short.
Just remember it is the small things in life that make the difference, and that's what makes life so beautiful.
