Wow I missed yesterdays blog post, I had such a long day. Got up later, around 6.30 was at work by 8 and I had a work event last night so I got home at 8pm a full 12hours of work.. wow.. I had wanted to do laundry this morn but forget it, I slept from 9pm till 7am this morn.. but I have to say this is the first time in a while I feel like I have my energy back. This past couple of weeks, I got pretty lazy with my life coach stuff and pretty much everything in general and really I think its because I really just needed to rest up.
I am excited to have found out yesterday that I might be able to right my exam to be a Registered Interior Designer sooner than I had originally thought, that would be great. I am also excited its started to rain today, not weenie rain, big rain, this means fall is coming I LOVE fall, and it also means that I can get back into my books, September just feels like the right time to study!!
Anyhow gots to get back to work, long day again today and ending it with training!!!

Energy
So as I mentioned yesterday, there has been a lot of realization for me and a lot more awareness in the past couple of months. All of this awareness and thinking has been gobbling up energy which is good because its energy that I am using to invest in myself. But for the past forever I have been using my energy to run all kinds of babble around in my head, needless to say I have been extremely sleepy this weekend. I have had tons of offers to go places and do stuff, but for the most part I have been declining and staying in this weekend.
Today's plans are pretty simple, well first my coffee and of course blog, I need to deposit my paycheck and purchase my groceries, do all my food prep for the week, read my book and I am guessing have a nap. Seems like a great day to me!
I am also thinking that all of this sleeping and re-energizing is in preparation for what the universe is bringing me next, I have a feeling that all at once my career and my personal life and relationships are going to get very busy and there will be some changes and big projects. For work this is what happens in September, the phones all start ringing around the 1st because people realize its 4 months till Christmas and if their aunt Layla is coming they need to renovate their kitchen baths and guest bedrooms. Also for work we are 4 weeks out from the Georgies, these are big awards in the Renovation business, and they take a LOT of work to prepare.
In personal, I know that starting Tuesday I am upping my fitness to twice a week with one life coaching on Thursdays, this is great, I have been loosing lots of weight still and trimming up but its like we are at the last 10- 15 pounds and its going to have to take extra effort to get there. I have also been feeling that there are going to be big changes in me, I have been working on all of my life coach stuff and I really feel that I have been cocooning or resting up for big changes. I can feel it in my body.
Since my birthday is in September I always feel it is where my year begins. So I am going to celebrate today, rest up, and say bring on September, bring on the changes.

New updates and posts coming
So I have neglected this for quite some time, but I really feel that this revisit to my blog will stick. I have some time in the mornings now since my new phone delivers my emails directly to me all day long I no longer need to get up in the morning and check to see whats in my inbox, in fact I can see all my emails, facebook and tweets before I open both eyes. Its been a bit of a daily habit to get up in the morning and check emails while I enjoy my coffee but now I can update my blog!!
I am also going to start using this as more of a journal, I am pretty sure that Magda is the only one who reads it anyhow so really whatever I put in here is only for me.
This summer / year has been an interesting one, amazing no doubt.. there has just been lots happening in my life. I have still been doing lots of life coaching and training, my life coaching has been back and forth, I have progressed leaps and bounds this summer but have still been falling back every now and then. I have a strong sense that those fall backs are done, this past couple of weeks have been really powerful for me in my realization and awareness. I have been practicing being present, I had no idea before what this feeling could be since I don't believe I had ever been fully present before. I had thought that I was, and even now I am sure there is even more to learn about being present and taking charge of the NOW.
I have been discovering a lot about myself and who I am and what I truly believe in. I have been reading 7 Habits for highly Effective People - Steven Covey for the second time, I read it the first time last year, at that time I was still going at everything so fast and I only applied and absorbed the information that I wanted to and applied it to work, funny though because it says right on the front of the book powerful lessons in personal change.
Since I have started to read it for the second time there is so much in the book that I never before got, and it is really opening my eyes as to what I have been doing my whole life and how I can change so many things in how is see and do everything. In fact for the most part it has NOTHING to do with work, its all about being present and effective with your self.
Its been these last two books, this one and the previous The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle that have hit me hard this summer, I wasn't aware before how much energy I had been using on mindless thoughts and riff raf in my head. I have always run things around in my head a hundred times and over thought most situations, lots of energy spent on things that haven't even happened or things that ever will, I was wasting my energy on things that I had no reason to be worrying about or had any control over.
So needless to say in the past couple of weeks with this new information I have been thinking lots about the things that should be in my life, now the step is to apply, and do. This is where my blog / journal comes in. Its important for me to keep writing and journals to keep all of this new active in my life. Today I am also going to begin writing my personal mission statement, its been on my mind lots this week and well today is the day it comes out.
Today's Quote from my book - "The unique human capacities of self-awareness, imagination, and conscience enable us to examine first creations and make it possible for us to take charge of our own first creation, to write our own script. Put another way, Habit 1 says, "You are the creator" Habit 2 is the first creation."

ahhh I am sorry!!
Okay so I am sorry.. I got caught up in everything and quit posting... BUT.. dont fear I am back.
Things are going well - I am currently making some yummy yummy soup listening to the Canada VS Russia game on tv.. now I am not a huge hockey fan but I am caught up in it being that it is in this city and the downtown is FULL of people cheering and going nuts.
I have been working on my life coach and training still, I have switched to training twice a week, and then every other week we do life coach. There has definitly been some tough times this year already with letting go of old beliefs and making room for new.
I did take a trip to Tofino for the weekend, that was a great - just time away to think and walk the beaches
then off to LA - that was the first trip I have been on that I have not gone to see my parents in 7 years.. Dont get me wrong I LOVE my parents but being in LA walking the streets by myself, taking pictures was the best holiday I have had in a long time.. I packed so much into each day and I was SOOO engergized from everything, I should have been really tired everynight but I just wanted keep going.
The first evening we went to a Edmonton VS LA hockey game -(I know lots of hockey-- weird) that was fun, then friday morning I toured up to the Walt Disney Concert Hall - Designed by Frank O' Gerhy very beautiful piece of architecture!! meandered inside and after about and hour of self touring one of the guides asked me if i had paid to be there and advised me to sign in and pay .. since i was pretty much done... i calmly walked passed the security and left... haha suckers!
I went back to the hotel and met with Samatha (we were traveling together and shared a room she had to work tho) and I took off to Santa Monica with two of Sams co -workers, Tanis and Susan. we had a great day I LOVE SANTA MONICA!! the beach the pier the colors everything.
MMm I am going to eat dinner and contiue this in a bit.. i am sure its getting long to read anyhow.

Back in Black
So I am back,, I took a bit of a break there, I have been a tad busy with things - lots to update tho... mmmm lemme see.. I have continued with my boot camps and training and life coaching still loosing weight like mad.. I just gave a load of clothes to another friend who has joined the JADE train so that felt good, also bought hot coffee for a couple of people sitting on the sidewalk asking for change, they were really happy for it so it made me happy to provide it, you have to give back like that, its considered an act of thanks to the universe.
OH yeah I am very happy to hear momma Vince made it through her stuff and am happy she is having a healthy recovery..
My Mom and Dad AND sista are coming down in a couple of weeks for 5 mad man shopping days WHOOP .. I even got my boss to buy an extra ticket for my sister to a Work christmas party that I need to attend so while they are here bon and I get to get all dolled up and go out for dinner and dancin I am super excited it should be fun.
just a quick few pics of the success - these are from Last Friday night at the Vancouver Aquarium Toast to the Coast.

The run - the finish - the results - the recovery
Okay so it has definitely been a while since i last posted, i think being busy and recovering has just been enough to fill each day.
As you know i did my very first 10k it was AMAZING!! I completed it in 1 hour 5 min. I am so proud of myself for doing it and completing the whole thing running! I far surpassed my January goal of being able to run for 45 min on the sea wall. In fact I have surpassed a couple of my goals, my fitness goal is well on its way.
But i am feeling a need for a bit of a change, of coarse after my run i didn't slow down, i went to boot camp on the Tuesday and training on the Wednesday, which resulted in me missing a day of work on Thursday to recover, this was the start of the changes. its like the run broke me and now things are going to change. First i finally got my raise on Friday ! WHoop!
Some one also mentioned to me that i have spent a lot of money on my new body and should be showing it off...very true.. so this has got me thinking also, yesterday i wore a cute little hat, and a nice belt around my waist, and let me tell you anyone who has experienced any weight issues or confidence issues would never ever be putting a big o'l belt in the area which you constantly are trying to hide. so that was a big step for me,and i am getting used to this shinny new body, i think this is the first time EVER i actually feel delicate and petite.
anyhow so i am thinking about a couple of changes in my current routine, i would like to spend a bit more time on my mental health and spiritual health and swing the pendulum back a bit. i am so happy with the results of my physical health and want to continue to shape and loose, but i would also like to spend a bit of time with my camera and my paints and my books. I think i got really got excited about my physical changes and pushed the pendulum a bit far to that side, i forgot to check in with myself on where i was at with energy levels and mental state.
anyhow, i will keep you updated on where things are at.

cant come up with a title today :)
Alright, so I had a block and didn't know what to call this post. But I do have some updating to do for sure, last I posted was my birthday, We had our pool party - which was way to friggen cold to be in the pool so we all ended up at the apartment. It was great though so many people showed and it was like they came in waves so there was constantly people here.
My good friend whom I have been spending ridiculous amounts of time with and yet not dating didn't show, apparently there were very important things. Whatever.. basically since they didn't show up I was that's it no more, I have been here before and I am done with you!!
Needless to say thank you universe because i decided to go out that night, a lil dancing for my birthday wouldn't hurt, so we headed off to library square but it was just so dead looking in there we decided to head over to the Roxy - now the Roxy can be so much fun and really the old bec really liked it there cause it was like for sure * if she wanted it. the old bec almost got it too! but the new bec the one that has been doing her homework, and focusing and breathing and realizing what she really really wants walked away!
as I was walking away and heading out to go home, I stopped to talk to a gentleman who I had made eye contact with earlier but never talked to. Turns out he was delightful!!! we talked for like 20 min outside and I gave him my # .. Monday morning I get the first txt.
since then I cant even tell you how many txt we have exchanged back and forth, we have been talking on the phone and once my race is done He will be taking me on our first date.!!!!!!!!!
This guy is great! sweet and kind, so funny he has an infectious laugh . oh man ....
anyhow that is how the universe works for me, this is really the closest thing i have had to a relationship since Smithers and i love it!! i am so looking forward to all the rest of it.
Holla universe ahhh thank you again.
oh yeah - ps on Monday the 12th I plan to run my first 10k - I think I have posted about it
