Hamster, Bunny, God, Us ... LOVE!

One of my close friends has a hamster and she loves it SO MUCH I always thought it was so cute then I asked her why she loves it so much!

She told me having this little guy has showed her how God looks at us. She will look into this little guys beady little eyes and just love on him. She can hold him in the palm of her hand and he just sits there so helpless at times and so beautiful. Then theirs is looking down at him LOVING on him insanely not matter what if he chews a hole in your sweater you find it adorable!

This was beautiful how she explained this and I felt I should share it with you. When I got home that night I looked at my little pet bunny the same way.

We are so incredibly beautiful in Him!! He holds us in the palm of his hands and just looks at us with unconditional love!!!

People we've got to grasp this!! We're worth so much to Him!! He did CREATE you ya know!??!! With a plan and PURPOSE for your life!!! Ask Him your purpose because He just wants to love on you and for us on to just love on Him.

Minds:

Today is a mind day.... A day when I need to concentrate on what I'm thinking because I know what I'm thinking is not important or beneficial to my life or healing process at all.

So I encourage everybody!!! Think about what you're thinking about because it's not worth it to think about hurt or memories that just aren't going to benefit you moving forward.

...don't dwell on the past... Because its the PAST ... your future is all that matters... Take from your past mistakes or right learning and learn from them... That's the only thing about the past you should focus on...

Who do you want to be?

It's a big question!!!!!!!! A question I never use to ask much but when life comes down to it!!! Who do you want to be?!?! Really though! Who? 

I use to go by with my life not really thinking much about who I wanted to be, or who I thought I was. But you know what, it's a really good question and a good thing to know or be in the midst of trying to figure it out or discovering who you are. 

People do things in their lives that they wish they didn't do or they don't do things that they wish they did. How about you start to do the things you wish you always did? And start today because you only live once.

Toronto:

A city I never once loved... but now... I love. 

I have been living in Toronto part time for the past 2 years. Every time I would come back here for school I would dread it and never really want to. Recently though... because my time here is coming to an end for this time in my life... I'm getting pretty upset that I'm not going to be up here every week. I've gotten so use to the subway and TTC and honestly I'm shocked how much I'm getting upset about moving out. 

Although its a big city, and it's full of a lot of crap... it has this beauty to it that I've recently discovered. I was coming into the city the other day heading down to Union Station when I came around the corner on the train and saw this view.... grabbed my attention and it was beautiful!!! 

The sun was shining and the weather was beautiful... honestly... i'm not complaining 

... my life

...is simply beautiful & i love it. 

Me:

Somethings a little about me: 

I have a huge love for quotes about life, inspiration, God and love. 

My teeth without braces are FANTASTIC and I love them. 

Baking is one of those things thats absolutely amazing before you do it, while you're doing it and after. 

Music holds so much more then just sound. 

My iPhone 3Gs maybe be "outdated" but it's my favourite thing. 

My camera also is "outdated" but is also a favourite thing of mine. 

My moto: ... whatever will be will be ...

Introductions to Amazing:

I was shown recently by a friend a worship group called Elevation Worship they are an amazing worship team that I had no idea existed and also Victory Fellowship - Elevator Music  is another great CD and worship team, also the lead singer of Mute Math it's his churches live worship CD. 

You should check them out I highly suggest it. Each of the underlined words or phrases are hot links to the websites that you can look up the music or the church.

Serious and Love:

I have NO IDEA why it is that I LOVE photos of people with a straight face, honestly I will go through all the photos after a photo shoot and usually theres one when my talent has a facial expression like this and I can't move past the photo. 

I think I'm going to do a series of photographs like this. 

This is one I took today of my close friend Melody. I hope you like it.

Roommates, Picnics, Cowgirls & Sunny Days:

So today March 9th,2012 I think is one of the weirdest weather days in Toronto. Woke up to the sun walked to school then while in class was a slight blizzard later the sun came back out. At this moment my roommate and I thought it was necessary to be outside dressed in our cowgirl outfits with out tea, lunch and some music.

It was a great choice and we don't regret the good 20 minutes we had in the sun until out of no where the slight. blizzard feels the need to come back. So we packed up and went back in and now a good 2 hour later the suns been shining for about an hour...we should have waited but now were both on our ways back to our home towns.

This was one of those times and moments in my life I will cherish and always remember. My roommate Steph and I have became amazing friends this year and I couldn't have asked for anything better to be honest. We're both photographers and love to do some crazy ridiculous things and create
unique food combinations.

If nobody experiences these things in your life with fun filled days with friends, laughs and great memories message me and I can give you some great ideas on what to do, you just gotta do them and never be ashamed. ;)

Best burger shop in Canada I must admit. I have never had such an amazing burger before honestly!!! I had honestly never been here before today when my roommate told me I HAD to go ... And ... Best decision I made today!!!

A little pricey but not terrible, and completely worth every penny. The milkshakes um um you have to get one if you choose to go sometime which I HIGHLY suggest you do!!!

The Distillery District:

What a beautiful experience. Walking into the Distillery District downtown Toronto feels as though you're walking right into the 1830's. It gives such an authentic vintage feeling and you never want to leave. Once you've stepped through the gates onto the cobble streets I feel right at home and all I want to do is live in there and have my studio there....that's a dream though, a dream that feels so good and just right.

From the little Cafes, shops, home bakery's and resturants to the Mill Street brewery the Distillery has almost everything you need for an amazing beautiful filled day, especially on a day like today in March when its +10 outside.

If you have never been to The Distillery before as I hadn't until this year and have gone back, I recommend it find a friend or even go alone you will haves great day and leave feeling happier then you did when you first walked in.

Mac Apple:

If you don't have any Apple products you're truely missing out. My MacBook, iPod and iPhone are my threeloves that are never ending. They all get me through my days and show and reach me things I would never know with out them, along with the Internet of course ha mainly the Internet but still!!

Mac is a fantastic company and I could go on for hours talking them up but I do very much respect PC and Android phones but I must admit Mac Apple has got it down pat with being amazing.

This is all I have to say right now other then, you PCers or Android users I respect you but do your self a little favor of pickin up at least an iPod if you don't already have one ;)
