Change

Been thinking about "Change" a lot lately and how well its just flat out not easy. In many ways change is a positive thing cause it helps us grow.yada yada yada... I could talk forever about change in a positive light. But I'll be honest at this season in my life I'm getting quite sick of the ol' word.
In the past two years I've worked 5 different jobs, 7 different locations. (For your reading pleasure and to alleviate any confusion I've provided a list of these places below)
Starbucks (Guilford Mall)
Starbucks (Central City Mall)
Starbucks (Cloverdale)
Mystique Hair Design
Knobby's Restaurant
Sticky Rice Thai
White Spot
I've had 4 different homes. I often forget my current postal code.
And many many beginning friendships. (You know the ones that just start and then stay the same)
 I believe change really takes a tole on your heart. After a while you start to fear it's routine, re starting over and over, re hanging pictures on your wall, re putting yourself out there socially. Change becomes inevitable and all of a sudden you find yourself asking "Why should I put the effort into anything, when it won't end up lasting". This attitude attacks the very core of who you are and suddenly your just existing with no passion or zeal for anything in life. Maybe you start to forget a little bit about who you are because you haven't stopped, you've been too busy adjusting that you haven't had time to just "Be".
 Change can be an exciting and great thing, but perhaps there is such a thing as a little too much change?
 Okay okay, So how do we deal with too much "C" ? When your heart feels tossed around from place to place, person to person and job to job. To be honest I'm still figuring it out, but here are some things I'm learning along the way.
Whatever season we are in we need to make the best of it and live life to the fullest. (Easier said than done) Seize the moment!
Our circumstances don't determine who we are.
Amongst all the chaos and inconsistency we can find peace in knowing that no matter what changes in our world (good or bad), Jesus will indeed remain the same. Done and Done.
A verse to ponder...

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8

Please share any thoughts or experiences you have on the subject of "change".

The Most Wonderful Time

It seems like such a long time ago now that I decided to start a blog and then promised my next entry would be soon-
so I guess my definition of soon is "a month and a bit later" :) 
ah well. one of these days I'll get in on a good ol' routine and maybe JUST maybe I'll have more than 3 followers. haha. 
Well it was such an answer to prayer that I managed to get time off to be home for my friend Lynnette's wedding AND for Christmas. At first the chances of me being able to come home for Christmas were looking very slim; as work posted a huge memo saying "No Time Off During the month of December will be granted, yada yada" 
But here I am, sitting at home, its unreal-So very blessed & taking it all in!  
Home is a Wonderful Wonderful place. Especially at Christmas Time. 
Often times when I'm home it feels as though I'd never left. Obviously things have changed here and there, but a lot remains the same. The people, The Holiday Traditions, The Town. 
A huge part of my heart will always be in this little town called Sioux Lookout. 
I love that I've built friendships here that even though life takes us our separate ways and we may loose touch, when we come together we can pick up right where we left off. Thats gotta be rare. 
I love walking into the local coffee shop Roy Lane and knowing at least half if not all the people sitting in to enjoy a cup of coffee. 


This Christmas is extremely memorable as Lynnette is the first one out of us group of friends to get married! (And oh what a beautiful wedding it was, see pics below) We've always chatted about these days like they were so far away and now here we are actually living them out! I know its caused a lot of us, including myself to be extremely reflective. And reflecting takes us to many different places and evokes a lot of different emotions. Reflecting about how things were and that they'll never be the same. Reflecting on the future and what it holds, and what we want out of life. Oh there's just so much, sometimes these thoughts get quite overwhelming. 
But really we've just got so much to be thankful for, so much to look forward to and many stories from our past to learn from and to tell.   


Only a few more days until I'll be headed back to my other home now, Surrey, BC. to continue the chapter of my life there. Excited for what this year holds. 


Congratulations if you read this far and Happy Christmas Everyone!
Much Love

Write Down Those Thoughts

I'm BACK! Through many failed attempts at trying to start a blog,

getting stuck on the name, over thinking the design...

I'm finally biting the bullet, taking the plunge,

jumping on the blog train. ha.

It only cost tearing my room into complete shambles and

waking up at 3am only to find out I'd fallen

asleep attached to my computer with the light on. Good times.

I'm extremely excited to finally have a place to harbor my many

random thoughts. I've had so many great idea's/thoughts go

down the drain because I did not take the time to write them down.

This ends here.

This blog will take on a mind of its own and I'm so excited to

Write Down Those Thoughts.

First Official Entry Coming Soon.
