grateful-thankful wednesdays

Hello Daisy Blossom's!

It is Wednesday again, the half way point to Friday! Woot, it's August long here in Canada this weekend. It seems a bit gloomy out right now but maybe the sunshine will pop in here sometime soon or in and out. I have a lot of things for Friday I want to share about, because I am super excited for tomorrow!  However, that's Friday's post, but let's get into today's!


1. I am so grateful for all the help that I have been receiving, because even though things feel overwhelming the help is nice when I get it. 
2. I am truly grateful for the wonderful people that I encounter at my other job, because they're so nice and it's actually going to be sad to leave that environment soon. 
3. I am truly blessed for the ability to get an education, because I finally can get to do the one thing I enjoy and love a ton!
4. With all my heart, thank you for the little things that will be treasures from now until the end of the month, because I know they will mean a lot and have a big impact once the school year starts. 
5. I am truly blessed for my mom helping me get ready to move off for school, because it really helps a lot.
6. I am so grateful for tomorrow and my photo session, because it didn't work the first two dates, so I am excited to get this happening tomorrow!!!
7. I am truly grateful for books, because they have the ability to inform you along with provide you a way to educate yourself or learn new things.
8. I am so grateful for YOU the readers, because you stick around whether it's to read my long posts or to skim through photos, thank you. 
9. I am truly blessed for the little things that are happening on my part, because even though it may feel overwhelming, scary, exciting, happy, super fantastic it's the thrill of it all and what cool things will chalk up from it all and I will have this little space to convey those stories!
10. With all my heart, thank you for this blog, because I know I have a way to share the future potentials, stories, landscapes, love, friendships, beauty, life, style, outfits etc here in one easy access for my lovely friends to check out the daily scoop on me from a distant away.

on a mattress with my feet up

Hello Daisy Blossom's!


It's Friday and hopefully it was all happy for you all. I just got home and I have an hour left of it being Friday! It's just my lovely laptop and mc d's bacon cheeseburger with an oreo mcflurry. I had to get something from there on my way home from work. I don't think there really is a whole lot to mention in this Friday's post that i can think of. I've had such a busy week this week and also comes with it being tired. However, I have a lot of stuff to take care of tomorrow that I need to get completed. The 1st of August is almost here soon I still have quite a bit of things to get checked off but also is the last month to hangout with anybody and everybody that wants to before I leave on my adventure. 

As it's getting closer and closer everyone keeps asking me if I am excited. I am but this past bit of this week I feel more overwhelmed more than any other emotion to be truthfully honest. i feel more that because everyone is down my throat about do this or doing that and I know I have certain things that have to get done. i am only one person, that can be in only one place at once or do one task at once that can't be something which I have the ability to multitask. I know what I have to do but I am not give space or time to even do certain things. It's difficult, all the pressure and overwhelming feeling. I have it written down, it's not that i am one to say oh yeah I know and not do it. I know, but I need the time to and I am only human and can only complete so many things in one day. 

I don't know.. do any of you get that feeling or understand the feeling of being overwhelmed not by yourself because you understand along with know what you need to do but from everyone else and it's not necessary? Even more so deciding to move away to go to school and having all these tasks to complete before you leave that are important or else certain things can't come together and happen for you. Let me know your overwhelming stories / moving away to school, moving away in general or just simply feeling that feeling from others + pressure. Let me know in the comments or send an email and I'll respond either way that's good for you. 

I think this is my Friday post. 
& have a happy Saturday tomorrow! :)

If you're wondering that is my cute little puppy above. 
see you monday!

grateful-thankful wednesday

Hello Daisy Blossom's!


                  

So it is Wednesday, technically almost Thursday and I had to get this up for you guys!

1. I am so grateful for generosity of people who help me out without thinking twice, because I know no matter what even if I don't ask for help they will be there. 
2. I am truly blessed to witness and be apart of some people's amazing life, because the influence of good vibes, good people allows you to attract awesome experiences along with bountiful amounts of love. 
3. I am truly grateful for my mom, because she has listened to a lot of my stories lately and given me advice even if it's not related to me. 
4. With all my heart, thank you for the beauty of friendships, because they mean a lot to me. 
5. I am truly blessed for the numerous amounts of experiences and quality time I have been trying to make happen before I leave, because I know there is little time left. 
6. I am truly grateful for food, because food eats at my heart especially summer time with all the amazing food available to enjoy freely. 
7. I am so grateful for serenity of peace that I have been able to have this past two weeks, because it feels so nice to feel relaxed. 
8. With all my heart, thank you for all the amazing ideas that have come to me or the pickiness of wanting things a certain way, because I know that I am definitely making a great choice decision in regards to what I want to go to school for. 
9. I am truly grateful for all the things that have come into my life and the experiences that are about to happen in the next couple of months, because without being grateful I wouldn't be here now. 
10. With all my heart, thank you for my body truthful, because I can do a number of things with it and for that I am truly grateful. 

This is my Wednesdays gratefulness and I hope you enjoyed!

moonshine

Hello Daisy Blossom's!


Welcome to another lovely Friday!! 
My weekend already had a pre-start from attending Mr. Bruno Mars concert yesterday! It was amazing!! I mean WOW incredible baaaby! Haha! Ellie Goulding was he's opening. I will definitely have an outfit post up on Monday for inspiration monday for you guys! yaaay!! This was a birthday gift from a friend, which my birthday was back in April. It was a well awaited gift! 

Now I got that topic kicked off.. some thing incredible happened to me this week and I immediately text-ed my best friends and told them right away! I was so shocked I screamed because I couldn't believe what I had read, so amazing! I definitely will be mentioning it in a future post some time in September I think. I am blown away and had to say this even though it doesn't really let you guys know too much. However, it is related to school (in case crazy ideas start floating there way around) haha. 

I wanted to also mention sorry that my inspiration mondays post wasn't that great it was really last minute and I was more focused on my part to doing the reading and just being in the moment at the wedding. It was definitely a great time and lots of delicious yummy food and the grand finale snack at the end of the night.. tons of pizza's! It was great and fantastic to see most of my family for the most part that could make it out. I love seeing them, especially my cousins when I get a chance, because it will be months until I usually see my cousins. It was nice to see the ones that I got too.

As you can see I think I have tried my best for the most part to post three times a week regularly since I started. I feel I have made an adequate effort, because I know things are not always going to run smoothly and I can post. For the most part B+ effort and I love this part (journal Fridays  because it's my chance once a week to write anything, everything and whatever my little heart desires to write each Friday. I feel it's good to have this once a week instead of numerous huge written posts all the time. If you disagree with me then leave your comment below if you like when I write a lot or would like more written stuff in other posts let me know! ;) I hope you guys enjoy thankful-grateful Wednesdays, because I for sure definitely do! 

I was thinking lately about doing a 50 random facts about me for one Friday. However I wasn't sure if I should make it a video version for you guys if you wanted or just write out the 50 facts? Let me know below and I can see what I can make happen for you guys, because I know that has been going around youtube and my close friend was like hey you should do that! I actually think it's a cool idea. So if you want to get to know me more personally then the things you read on here or view leave your comment below! I know have been on here in the blogging world for a while but not posted perhaps too regularly, so it could be too early to talk about 50 random facts but if you think not, okay sounds pretty cool to me to make it happen for you guys! 

Since I've talked about a lot of light stuff above I though I would get into something quick, more in depth for you guys! I know that I mention a lot of different things or topics and what not but today's post I wanted to talk about being motivated and achieving your goals. This past week that is something in which I have thought about a lot! With a lot happening to me with going to school and such I have kind of sat down one wee morning and started writing down goals. I mean goals goals that I truly actually want to achieve. Yeah some of them are BIG but that's a point of a goal. I know I have little ones that are achievable without hesitation but the things I have on this list I know that it will take a lot of hard work & dedication on my part to make them come true to life. I have had numerous past list here on my blog that I will write up throughout but this new list is something of the Big dreams, Big Dreaming type of list. The things I started to write down on that list which isn't too long just jot it on my sticky notes of my computer as incredible things. I know having goals, to-do lists etc is something I have always had within me from forever ago as a young child. I would always achieve the things I had written down and yeah they made have seemed like huge goals at the time, but look back now they were achievable with ease. The goals on my list I started writing out for the other night are that of big things. I want you guys to take the time and write down your goals that you want, they can be big, small, achievable or the wildest goal that will take hard work and dedication to achieve. If you believe that you can make it happen; I can guarantee it will come true. Anything in this life time of yours is possible. There is something amazing waiting for you, so if you don't get something you wanted don't be angry because there is something better out there for you that you were meant to have. The universe will give you everything you are owed and deserved that you have not had the chance to get in your life for whatever reason. You will have the chance to receive everything good that you have put out come back to you. It may not happen right away but it will happen and at the right time. Don't give up, keep holding on strong and something incredible out of your mind will happen for you. You will feel so blessed, loved, astonished, shocked, happy and excited. i want that feeling for you. i want you to feel the joy that can comes through and pierces your soul. i want you to have goals, BIG DREAMS, little goals but i also want you to have small little to-do lists as well. It keeps you motivated as what you need to accomplish but also those tiny little goals or to-do lists help you achieve your big dreams. I think all around being ambitious puts you on the path you want to be for your life and allows you achieve the success you want to achieve, which ever that may be for you. Success can mean a lot of different things for different people and what you may want or think as success will most likely be completely different than mine. It's okay, you're you and i am me. No one lives two of the same exact lives. Be you and do amazing incredible things with your life. i want that for you. i want you to have a divine, marvelous, beautiful life full of dreams, love, passion, life, integrity, risks, spontaneity and the following of your own drum + heart. And this is my journal Fridays speech for this week. 

Have a lovely weekend & enjoy life.

Just add a little sparkle

Hello Daisy Blossom's!

I know I am a day late, but I had a family situation to take care of, so sorry for not having a post yesterday. This is what I had wore Saturday to the wedding of my cousin. I had also done a reading for their wedding at the church ceremony part. If you would like more photos with more detail of what I wore just let me know and I can recreate that for you guys.
It's just been a hectic week this past week and so is this week, even though I thought it may calm down but it's not going to this week. I know this is quick but I wanted to get something up before I don't get anything this week up at all again. 

Have a lovely day.

I want to roll over but I got to lean back

Hello Daisy Blossom's!

It's Friday and I am back on here to post something. I know I have been inadequate in posting properly last week and not really posting at all this week. I have been working double in one day, so it's been hard to make time to put up a post. If I have a couple of minutes I am way to tired to post up something, even though I know it's the day. My schedule has been too overwhelming to even preblog something either, so I come on time today to write since it's Friday (Journal Fridays). And sorta of last minute too but just in time. 

I think this week I finally felt a sense of relief from the overwhelming things that I have going on or need to get done. The biggest thing that was holding me back I finally completed and got help with. I am very thankful for that help, because I know if I didn't have the help I wouldn't be very productive really I think. I feel I would still feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxiety and stuck. I think now the one step I had to do, put a lot more perspective of things into a bigger reality shock then ever before. It's almost here soon that I will have to move away and leave my best friends behind. I was sitting here thinking about that today and I can't believe everything is happening so quickly.. much quicker. I am not sure what to expect to be honest; I do know the feeling of home sickness has swept into my thoughts and feelings today for some reason. I think it's because there won't be the familiar of the known anymore, it will be the unfamiliar of the unknown. This new journey coming upon me so quickly is some days exciting, other days worry with just recently homesickness. I think the hardest part will be leaving my friends for some months, but I do know they're proud and happy that I am going for what I want. They are the most truest and realest friends I have ever had that I can talk to them anything and everything. I am truly glad for that, it makes me have a level sense of ground and balance that I have them in my life. 

As for other things to update on in my life because I do lack mentioning things that I say I could write about on here, but seem not to write them or do but I draft them. Anyways.. at the end of June-ish I went to see Cody Simpson in concert with a friend. He is a very talented singer and has an amazing musical direction that he wants to go. The thing that really got me however, which I don't know why but it was just super prevalent to me is WOW he is such a GENTLEMEN. The moment that determined that and took to my heart was the moment a girl that got chosen to go on stage which he sung to her, but then asked her to dance. Yeah I am a total sucker for stuff like that. It makes my heart melt seeing or reading awesome cool love stories. (In this case sweetness) They make my heart happy inside. But yeah that is that and my next concert actually this week that of Bruno Mars. I can't wait for that experience and how the concert will be, so I hopefully will mention that on next Friday's journal fridays post. And speaking of music I can't wait to download Cody Simpson's new album. I like Jay-Z's and Ciara's new album they put out, oh and I can't forget to mention D-Pryde. For any of you who were wondering what I like listening to or am currently listening to those are my currents. If you want specifics however of songs from each of the albums mentioned then you can leave that in the comments below and I shall talk about that in next friday's journal fridays post for you guys. 

My sleep pattern of course has been messy as well with working and then having weird times or little time in-between to sleep. I have been falling asleep at two am in the morning and getting up early for work or sleeping in until eight or nine am. However, then I take a nap around two pm because of my messy sleep pattern schedule with the things I need to do. What else? This weekend I have a wedding to attend of a family member, so maybe I'll have an outfit look for you guys for inspiration monday, hopefully then to view since I am just mentioning or thinking about that now. 

Lately I have also been thinking about BIG DREAMING, BIG DREAMS and the possibility of them coming together and happening. I think if you really want something bad enough in your life, you will be willing to do the work and put in all the effort to make it come to life. And yeah, don't get me wrong that it's not easy because it's not. If it were easy you wouldn't achieve the things that you do or want in life if they were. The reason why things are hard or super hard depending on each and everyone's situation is to see if you really want it bad enough as you say you do. Those obstacles that you think hinder you, they don't if you believe you must have it. They're there to weed out the ones who say they want it but really don't want it and aren't willing to make the sacrifices or willing to put in the effort to attain the very goal or dream they believe they desire. Yeah, you will have down in the bottomless pit times, where everything seems like a struggle or you don't know what to do or which direction to take and or listening to what everyone else thinks. I understand they don't want to see you fail or hurt but failure is what leads to the success of what it is you want. Without failure how would you know to try that much harder, work that much harder, put in that much more effort then the last time, or simply how would you even know if you don't even let yourself try? I think but also feel and believe that I rather fail at something for trying to make something happen or work in my life to make it apart of me then to never have tried at all and just simply always constantly wondering. Because really at the end of the day who has to live with that unhappiness, that unsatisfaction? you, so why not make the most of your life to change the things you can and do the things that you believe in your heart that God put in their as your purpose and go do them. Because I believe in your dreams, your goals and there's no point in dreaming small if they aren't dreams that aren't big enough to scare you. The dreams that are worth being scared for are probably the very thing you need to do to fulfill your life and live the dreams along with the life you want to live + achieve. Coming from me I want you to reach your dreams. i want to see you soar. i believe that the best possible outcome will lead you to an amazing opportunity if you just keep your faith & believe. Don't get me wrong it's hard and you struggle. I have struggled a lot along my journey, but with struggle or sacrifice there would be no compassion or humility. So I say take the risk because if it's something you want it will be worth the fall



And that is all I have for this Friday, so I hope to be on time for Monday's post and the rest of the week starting Monday! 



Happy Weekend and Cheers! :)

It’s all about you, with or without you..

Hello Daisy Blossom's!

I know this has been the second week where I have been late on delivering a post for a Friday.  I did however have something scheduled to post and I took it down because I was wanting to talk about something else. And that something else I have no idea what, it was something on that day, that mood feeling you get. However, I have made up for Friday for the next day but for this week it's being made up today. Today is something of a special mention in my heart for me and so I think this delay was suppose to happen this way. 

Today is the day of a very special man, who's birthday would have been of celebration if he were still alive. Today is the day that my lovely grandpa was born and although he is not here, he is in my heart. He, I know has been there in spirit with me and the feeling that I felt in past posts that I have mentioned him was fresh. It seemed overwhelming and took an affect that I wasn't expecting to experience. I am sad that he is not here, however I am grateful that he is at peace and isn't in pain from when I had seen him past.

He passed away exactly in April 26th, 2012 and so it has been one year and two months and 11 days. Whoa, that is insane that it just brought tears to my eyes, because for the past couple of months I have been seeing that number a lot. The number eleven and wow to see that is over powering. My best friends know all the stories with the number eleven, one eleven, 11:11, 1:11 etc. I swear this is like a beautiful guardian angel watching over me for months and everything that has happened that has been good I know the universe has helped and had someone special by my side. I am oh so grateful and feel so blessed. I am happy inside this time around that I come on here to write because I feel like I have a better understanding of everything that I felt in my last posts that I have written and mentioned of my grandpa. The last time I felt as though I have felt as though I let him down but I feel like this time all these beautiful things are happening so quickly and fast to me. It feels almost completely liberating but also scary. It's feeling more and more surreal each day that my time is coming closer to move away. It feels kind of overwhelming in a bit of a way. Just leaving everything behind and going on an adventure all my own, on my very own. I do know that my grandpa will be there watching over me and  guiding me along. I know within my heart that he will be proud of me in the end of it all. 

I see him everyday all day in my room, (when I am in there) because that is a part of me that I have left up around me in my room to remember him. A photo given to me by my grandma at Christmas of my grandpa and the card from the funeral of that day. It gives me something to have a reminder of, but also to have hope and have a sense of things are going to work out. The things that didn't make sense or I felt would be ashamed of I know that I am human, imperfect and that is okay. I know that he will love me from above and understand from above. I know I can say I am trying, I am giving my best that I can. I know that my grandpa can see that. I know I may struggle at times or don't know what direction to go or what answer to give, but it somehow has worked out. 

I am very very grateful for all the things that I got to know, the stories that I got to hear, the laughter, the love and the abundance of interest from within a heart so beautiful, strong and understanding. I know I will have the memories and I will keep those close to my heart but I will always have a reminder and never let that slip away or go afloat. I know that in my heart this life you had the chance to live was one that you made to be great and that is something I hope to achieve myself. I hope to lead a lovely beautiful life full of love for others, full of interest, full of help, full of laughter, and a life to the fullest potential possible that I could possibly attain and even beyond that of what I think is possible. In the end God has something incredibly amazing awaiting even though I may have set a goal to achieve. I am thankful for everything I got to know and learn from you. I know you will be with me and are with me always and I am happy for that. I am not saddened because in my heart your memory lives alive. 

Thank you from here on earth,
with love. 
This is a heart feeling to you,
from down here to above. 

love, sincerely,
your heart remembering granddaughter. 

happy birthday up above,
sending my love. 

this is me painting my feelings and the stars above are so bright.. 
they blind my eyes looking at the bright shining sky. 

(I know there is so much more to come or say but this is my hearts feeling limit for today and choked throat and tears are becoming from sitting here writing this that overflow with sincere love.) 

Thank you for those who read this and happy Sunday.  :)

much love and happiness to you on this day. xoxo

2. I am so grateful for the opportunity to do the things that I want in life, like go certain things such as concerts and such, because that is a luxury a lot of people dream of. 
3. I am truly blessed to have the chance to come across beautiful people that stick with me no matter what, because they definitely let me know what it feels like to receive bounty of love without hesitation or question. 
4. With all my heart, thank you for my littlest niece, because she is so cute, full of joy and the best thing ever to be apart of my life. 
5. I am so grateful for the people who are true to me and are loyal no matter the circumstances, because I know at the end of the day the very few that are I know matter. 
6. I am truly blessed to have ability to see, because I wouldn't be able to read these beautiful lovely blogs that I come across or find throughout my reading.

And if I have made an impact on you cool, if I write things that you don't have the courage to express yourself cool, but if none of the above and you just like to read my talkative long, rambling posts about whatever floats along the beating tempos of my mind, totally cool! 

love you, 
thank you
&
peace! 

Happy Beautiful Wednesday! Wooo!!

Happy 146th Birthday Canada!
