2017 IN 2017
In my Intentions For My 31st Year post, I said that I wasn’t going to be doing any specific goals anymore and just focusing on meaningful intentions instead. But I am always up for a good challenge to push myself to my limits, so I will be attempting a “2017...

The two of us always have a pretty chill Christmas as we don't really celebrate it these days. Today we stayed in bed until noon, then headed out to William Hawrelak Park and Buena Vista Park for a nice wintery walk, and to creep on the ice castle. (I might...

INTENTIONS FOR MY 31ST YEAR
So every year in December just before my birthday, I reflect on the goals that I wanted to accomplish in the past year, and start thinking about what I want to accomplish over my next near. (Because why not do it on your birthday? Although I do have one goal...

GRASSI LAKES HIKE - OCTOBER 2, 2016
I can't remember the last time I used my DSLR just to shoot photos for me. The last time I used my camera at all was sometime late last year... But I FINALLY used it on our day trip to Canmore this past weekend! I forgot how much of a...

WORLD PHOTO DAY - A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE IMAGES
Posted
Today marks the 177th anniversary of the invention of photography, so I thought I would share some of my favourite (non-concert/wedding/portrait, non-iPhone) photos with you. Most of these photos are fairly old as I haven't taken any photos for quite some time. *GASP!* (That needs to change!) As ...

MY LIFE IN [IPHONE] PHOTOS
Wow, it has been a year since I did a "my life in photos" post. Mainly because I had a broken phone July through the end of March, and I haven't really blogged too much since then either. (Been loving the micro-blogging bit on instagram/twitter too much.) However, I am...

NOVEMBER PROJECT - 3RD BIRTHDAY BASH @ COMMONWEALTH STADIUM
MORNING BOUNCE PHOTO: STEVEN CSORBA I had briefly heard about the November Project a couple years ago. I didn’t know much about it, but I knew that a group of people got together to run the Glenora stairs at a time unimaginable to me to be awake at, nevermind working...

I came across this quote the other night, and it is so fitting for this moment. With the announcement that we were walking away from #YEGMusic Magazine, I expected to get a bunch of negative comments (and I did!) I got messages saying that I didn't try hard enough, maybe...

SOCIAL MEDIA DECLUTTERING
Posted
When we talk about decluttering, we only think of getting rid of physical stuff, but it can also include digital clutter (contacts, friends, acquaintances, apps). I had gotten to the point that I shut all sound/vibration off on my phone, and I'll leave it upside down or in the next...
