Goals

I've been feeling very 'bleh' lately, like I have no purpose. I'm not saying this in a negative my-life-sucks way. I have just felt like I have nothing to do, and nothing to offer. I am however really excited to get back into classes. I'm one of those freaks that LOVES to be busy but hates the stress that comes with it. But! Thanks to some amazing friends, I have made a goal list, of short term summer goals and I added some long term ones on there as well. Turns out I had a lot more to do than I thought! I'm excited to get started.
Some goals I have been doing for a while, but it's good to keep them up :)

Some of my goals with my friends are things like: Making up a dance, arts and crafts, reading the Hobbit and the Peacegiver, looking for opportunities of service, etc.

My personal goals are more around the self-improvement aisle.
- scripture study
- improving my dance technique
- breaking bad habits and forming new ones
- keeping a positive attitude
and my biggest one...

JUST DO ME.

For some odd reason I'm letting what other people think of me get to me. I don't do that. Normally. I mean once in a while, sure, no one's perfect. But it's really beginning to effect me and that's not fair to me, and to others. I gotta be me. So starting now, I'm pushing the negative out and taking in the good. And doing it as ME.





This should be engraved in my brain already for how much I read Dr. Seuss as a kid, but I'm living by it now! 


It's the best way to find out who really loves you for YOU. And all of you. Good, bad, annoying, or weird as you get there will always be someone who will look at you and will never want to change a thing about you.

my favorite movie

"Have you ever heard a joke so many times you've forgotten why it's funny? And then you hear it again and suddenly it's new. You remember why you loved it in the first place."
"A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him. And in that way he becomes immortal."
"There comes a point when any reasonable man will swallow his pride and admit he made a mistake. The truth is... I was never a reasonable man."
"There are some fish that cannot be caught. It's not that they're faster or stronger than other fish. They're just touched by something extra."
"There's a time when a man needs to fight, and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny is lost... the ship has sailed and only a fool would continue. Truth is... I've always been a fool."
"The biggest fish in the river gets that way by never being caught."
-BIG FISH (Best. Movie. EVER!!!)

Missing people

I missing a lot of people right now but the people I really miss right now are my Dance Company Girls.

Just sayin.

I miss them a TON. And it doesn't help when I have these awesome ideas for Dance Co. and I don't know what to do with them without my girls! :(

They're also the chilliest girls I know.

Bleh.

I miss them...

My past week..

This past week I went to Canada. YES. Canada.
My birthplace.
My mother's land.
And just a really awesome place.

You see, the reason why I went is because my great uncle, Uncle Bud, passed away in May. We finally had a memorial for him on Thursday. It was really simple, but very nice. people in his neighborhood came and just visited and chatted. We all just spoke of my Uncle. it was really great. And very peaceful.

My uncle would have liked it.

My uncle Bud was 65 when he passed. He was this tiny man, very kind, and a very generous man. I love him very much and I miss him a lot.

Here are some pics of pics him that I took at the memorial.




And here's me with my mom and dad on Canada Day.
