I have gotten several emails and texts lately asking what
happened to my blog? Where did it go? I am used to posting 3-4 times a week and
now it seems one time if I am lucky.
The answer: I am building a company and it is taking lots
of my time and energy. And surprising to me…? I am feeling quite passionate
about it.So the passion I have been pouring into this blog the last number of
years is finding its spot in the corporate world, the kick ass seminars I have
been creating and delivering, on LinkedIn and in my heart.
But I miss my blog. I miss the moments that I capture
here.. The thoughts still run through my head-they demand to be felt. They
demand to be written too-but somehow pen to paper is not happening lately.
And that choice is deliberate.
But I still miss it.
Here are a few things that I don’t want to forget about
the last few weeks:
-Hubby and I started working out together. At Monkey Bar Gym
Montreal. A CrossFit torture cell. It is close enough to walk to in the
mornings. We have gone twice and feel like it has been a lifetime. That is not
how much our poor muscles hurt. I’m not joking has been a week we cannot get down
the stairs and we have to get down on our bums and slide down and then figure
out a way to get off the floor. That’s how much we hurt. Everyday.
We feel like the show the “biggest losers”. Not that we
are fat-at all-we do have a few pounds to lose for sure-but we feel like the
biggest losers anyways as everyone at that gym are total fit ironman athletes
and we are the biggest losers on earth. BUT. We are there right? And we are
publically humiliating ourselves and feel damn fine about it (and very sore) we
are sticking to this! Hunny even jogged last week on two occasions! I’m proud
of us.
We are doing this to hopefully lose a few lbs, get into
shape, but more importantly get into health. We have many things to do and see
in life and we need to keep healthy to be able to travel and walk, and hike and
canyon and white water craft. We are in this together.
As John Locke on Lost says” Do not tell me what I cannot do”
-We are leaving in less than 2 weeks to Seville Spain
Hubby and me! My brother and his family are living there for 6 months and we
are joining the fun. I am seriously pumped for this trip. We can’t wait to be
there and also will love just living the Spanish lifestyle all the way and spending
time with our amazing family
-Chase bought a dirt bike. With his money of course –and spent
a small fortune! He earned it by working so hard this year at 3 different jobs.
The kids majorly impress us lately-he is growing up to be a very fine young
man. So committed, so responsible, so connected, so autonomous.
-Beauty is going to London on a student exchange trip
that she was selected for and leaving end of October!
-Bear is still heavily into kayak and did a 6km race
today. It is just the three of us at cottage this weekend and so fun to just to
hangs out. He is a mini version of his DadJ))
-Last night we had a night with Chase as we never see him
anymore so he suggested we do a Pad Thai night (honestly the yummiest recipe on
earth) takes so looong but worth every delicious
bite. The three of us sat on the deck and chatted for a long while and Chase
said the sweetest thing. He asked us if when we are old and sick we want to
live with him-and said that he really wanted us too and that he would want to
take care of us (as long as his Dad cooks and I plan out his life and make sure
he makes good decisions) I honestly thought this was the sweetest thing…..it
was so totally unexpected for his to express these thoughts to us. It touched
us to the core to even consider that he would want this one day and that this
has been on his mind. It felt like true love.
- - I had a great two day business trip in Toronto
with a new company I am partnering with. Some exciting stuff ahead!
-I am missing my Grampy2 lately and think about him all
the time
-I am taking a day off Monday as a conference I had was
cancelled last minute so I have a rare free day. Soulkeeper is coming up tomorrow
night to Trent and sleeping here and we are spending the whole day Monday together
(and Sunday night) I honestly cannot wait –it feels like much needed oxygen to
connect with her as in between seeing each other we are not that much in
contact lately as both so busy. She is more of a phone person and I am more of
a texter and just not happening. She is often free in the day and me early
morning or evenings
-I am getting frustrated with my protein shakes. Not
working in the same way they did for me the first yearJ
-My Mom and I signed up for a course on Organizing your Spaces
and clutter clearing and I am reading the book that became a best seller
overnight about magical tidying. Stay tuned to a newly minimalist house
(umm..maybe?)
-I have some big contracts ahead with my company. I am
feeling really really proud of myself. This has not been easy. I am pouring my
heart and soul into this and it is paying off.
-I miss my blog. But I am also having a lot of fun living
life lately too. Doing different things, with different people, If I am honest...this
might be the most fulfilled I have felt in a long while even though many parts
of my life are frustrating me and not where I want them to be-the core of it
all seems to be making a lot of sense lately. I am looking forward to what seem
like a new chapter of my life opening up. The funny thing? Before now I didn’t really
even realize there was a new chapter to begin!
Have a great Saturday night and Sunday Everyone!!! I am personally
looking forward to doing a whole lot of nothing tomorrow in between a walk in
the forest, going to get ski passes at the mountain and reading the rest of the
delicious book I started. There is still
nothing that even comes close to the luscious feel of weekends as far as I am concerned.
