Soul - Mates (in the australian way)

Ever meet people that you swear you must have known in another life? (assuming you can believe in reincarnation). Maybe you were friends when you were both cowboys in the frontier or something... or two dinosaurs flocking away from a T-rex together. You must hav been through an adventure together of some sort. Your spirit remembers them but your present body and mind does not. There's just a vaue feeling of familiarity, maybe an instant connection - easy conversation, a feeling of knowing and "caring" without really knowing too well.

I sometimes come across this feeling in my job. A co-worker or client I instantly connect with. For some reason it's usually someone older than myself. The reality of the present time is that we were born decades apart... we come from very different backgrounds and it would be unlikely we would ever meet or ever talk except for the circumstances. Somehow I have a sense or feeling of knowing them. Perhaps our souls are drawn to the same places somehow (like that movie with Will Smith - I am Legend). Or maybe we've had so many lives before it's impossible not to run into a soul-mate... Another theory is goes back to the one universe idea... we are all connected and at some deeper level are all one and the same unconditional love, God, energy, etc. It's a mystery.

In any case, shoutz out to all my soul-mates.

Heart Strings

Ever since I went to Nova Scotia in February, I've had this little yearning in my heart to go back. I have a few friends who live there and each time I look at their pictures I feel a little tug. Halifax is such a nice place. I feel like there was so much to explore there and so many little adventures I didn't have time to go on. I just really enjoyed the culture there, the ocean, the ships, and the people are so nice (man, they know how to party!).

Even though I went in the winter when everything was closed I still liked it. Farewell Nova Scotia! If only airline tickets were cheaper to travel there. I can go somewhere tropical,or spend a whole week in Vegas for less...

The Saskatoon Berry Farm

"Your berries are delicious but you're a fucking tool" - Dan to the guy with a Saskatchewan licence plate driving terribly.

This week was the longest week of my life. I lay in wait for my upcoming, well deserved vacation. And by "lay" I mean I worked my ass off, did a million errands, responded to tonnes of emails and planned more for my upcoming fun time. Every second seemed to take 3 hours to go by. On top of this my family is on vacation already and left me to take care of our spoiled brat pets... I didn't get more than an hour of sleep cumulatively any night this week. Only a few more days. Only a few more days. Staying in the moment is my challenge this week.

Today that challenge was a lot easier. We went to the Saskatoon berry farm near Okotoks and indulged in a relaxing afternoon picking berries and eating ice cream. The weather was beautiful, and the hype was built up by a series of events earlier this week. 1) I found some Saskatoon berries growing in the forest near my house while walking the dog - delicious. 2) the Saskatoon berries in my backyard finally became ripe two days after the fore mentioned event. It was fun. It was different. I heard about the farm from one of my client's at work (she's a senior citizen - they know all the good old fashioned down home fun places. So if you have a hankering for a good date place chat up a senior) a few eeks ago and have had berries on the brain since. Last night my grandma took us out to Grey eagle Casino for the buffet. Yet another day of indulgence. Even though I've literally only had about 24 hours of free time (cumulative)since yesterday I feel like I've finally had a bit of vacation (not including the pedicure and massage I got last week *sigh* but seriously).

Updated thought and poems

Actually I decided that tumblr is more like a hybrid between twitter and blogspot... yes.

I also wrote a few new poems now on the poems page.

Been considering getting back into art stuff - problem is school starts again and won't have time again. I did design myself a tattoo that I plan to get soon (awesome....!) so as for creative endeavors that's the most I've done so far. Been inspired by boyfriend's brother's girlfriend's website who is a graphic artist to rekindle the art flame in myself... only a few more months and then I'll graduate and be free ... free to work a decent job and have a hobbie. Working out is going well though. Actually managed to work out all 5 days of the week last week - didn't feel it made too much a of difference though - maybe 3 to 4 is a better amount.
