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...

WINTERY WALK IN THE PARK & SOME CREEPING ON THE ICE CASTLE
Posted
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...

THE ADVENTURES IN TRYING TO LOVE & SURVIVE RUNNING
This is my first completed month of the adventures in trying to love & survive running. First of all, I have never been a runner. Like NEVER. I HATED running. However, I was apparently pretty decent in the 100m dash, but long distance was my NEMESIS!!! Then spontaneously on July...

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...

ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS
One of my friends shared this idea at the end of 2014, I said it was a good idea and that was all that became of it... (You know how New Year's resolutions end up, somewhere in the back of your mind to only remember about them months down the...

TOP 10 (CONCERT) PHOTOS OF 2015
I shot a handful of concerts this year and that is pretty much it... However, I didn't really have too many favorites that ridiculously stood out from the bunch (which is totally unfortunate as my goal is always to be better than the last concert.) I still am waiting for...

GOALS FOR MY 30TH YEAR
Posted
When I sat down to reflect on the goals I had set out for myself this past year and to come up with new ones, I couldn't think of anything new and overly significant that I wanted to accomplish for this year. Maybe this is because I finally know what...

GOALS FOR THE NEW YEAR - FOLLOWING UP
Posted
This past year has had some major ups and downs, and some major realizations. My goals for this past year did a major shift about three months in, and most didn't become my priorities anymore. (I might talk about it one day, or I might not...) But I can say...

I DON'T BLOG ENOUGH...
Posted
I used to blog every single day. Sometimes more than once a day. It was just what I did...This year, I have barely written two words on here, and have so many started posts that are saved in my drafts that I had yet to finish or post that are...
