Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.
Hey blog, it’s been a while. I’ve been busy and to be honest Pinterest often wins out over you. But now it’s essay and exam time, and I will need you again. To spill out my thoughts so that I can focus on more important things. It kinda sounds like I’m just using you …. maybe I am ….. but seriously, I missed you.
Holy mother of pearl! It is summer in March! I keep pinching myself to make sure this is real. And I’m writing this as a record that it did, in fact, happen. March 19th, people! 25 degrees!
weekend update
I went to Montreal this weekend and got my dress for grad show! Beyond excited. Kinda ashamed to admit this, but somehow that was my first real excursion in Montreal. I have driven through the city twice but never gotten out of the car except to eat at a McDonalds when I was 9 and pick up my mom from the airport when I was 12. So this visit was way over due. I was really focussed on getting a dress, but I did notice three things.
1. Montreal makes Ottawa look kinda tacky… their downtown core is full of historic architecture. A gorgeous visual mashup of old and more old! Loved it. 2. Sale associates were incredibly nice and helpful! Ottawa and Toronto, why you so stuck up?! 3. God saved my life or my Dad’s. A giant piece of ice fell off an incredibly tall building and landed smack between me and my dad. Freaky stuff, yo.

Many a soul begins to come to God when he flings off being religious, because there is only one Master of the human heart, and that is not religion but Jesus Christ.

forever friends…
Sappy title, I know. But seriously, I have two of the best friends a girl could ask for. I spent the day with my friends Joy and Em who I have known since I was four. These girls have grown up with me and we can spend months apart and always pick up exactly where we left off. It’s wonderful and it makes me so thankful for lifelong friends. Anyway. Me and Joy spent the afternoon procrastinating from our piles of homework with a healthy dose of retail therapy. I didn’t plan on spending anything but walked away with two cute pairs of gym shorts (that I will likely wear in and out of the gym cause they are so darn comfortable!), a sweater, a skirt, and new hair clips. Pretty good haul. Joy, who wanted to go shopping, didn’t buy anything. Typical. So after driving Joy home I attempted to dive into my paper proposal but was very tired so after staring at my computer screen for 30 minutes, I decided to put on some music and take a nap. I woke up just in time to fix my hair and go pick up Em for our coffee date. Em, was the friend who recommended that I go to Harpenden because that’s where she studied a few years ago. So we chatted about all the exciting things I will get to do, what I definitely should do while in England etc. So fun, and I’m even more excited, if that is at all possible. All this friend time has rejuvenated me and I’m feeling focussed and into this paper topic now. Gonna try to get the rough draft done tonight, and edited tomorrow morning/afternoon because tomorrow my baby sister arrives from BC!!!! Stoked!!! She’s gonna hang out with me as I slave away in the studio over the weekend (so much to do…) and then we are heading to Montreal on Tuesday for a fun day of site-seeing and shopping. Yay! ….Ok, back to work!
perfect beauty.
