R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

       This past week I've been worried teaching high school students.
Mainly because in high school I didn't treat people the way I should have. I belittled, disrespected, and sometimes bullied. I laughed at others expense, because I thought it made me a better person. In high school I had the friends, support, and crowd that surrounded me to make me feel better about my choices. But everyone graduates, and everyone grows up.
These are not moments that I am proud of, but I have used the past 3 years to change, and make up for it. At least I am trying.


     Treat others the way that you would want to be treated. There is a reason it's called the golden rule. That is because it is worth so much value, and yet rarely found.
Can you imagine what this world would be like if those who belittled kept silent.
Or those who laugh at someone else's expense, chose to find real humour that didn't hurt someone.
What about those bullies? If they just kept their hands, and mouths to themselves.
Imagine what this world would be like.
Peaceful.
Happy.
Filled with love.

I'm not perfect at this. I still lose my temper, I swear, and sometimes get upset and vent. But that doesn't change the fact that I try. I try to separate myself from who I was in high school.

It doesn't make me a better person to put someone else down. 
Calling someone fat doesn't make me skinnier.
Saying someone is stupid, doesn't make me smarter. 

These actions, though the popular route, are not the way that this life is meant to be lived. 
It's not nice. 
It doesn't help anyone. 
It's most certainly not Christ like. 

Those who are reading this: 
I promise you, that hurting others, does not lift yourself up. You will regret it. It will hurt, and haunt you. Take this Christmas season to make the change. Even if just a little one.

This world needs less bullies and more beloved. Less trash and more treasure.

You can make the difference in someone's life, if you allow yourself to be the bigger person.

Your "Thoughts and Prayers" Are Bullshit.

Yes. I said it. I also thoroughly agree with that statement. Here's why. As I've been going through pretty huge and life-changing medical problems, my family has been physically nowhere near me. Granted my intestine decided to swell up in Saskatoon, which isn't convenient for anyone. It's given me so much time to think, in some scary and painful moments. Let me preface this by saying I'm not a religious person,  However from what I know, God, helped those in need, he didn't just pray for the sick,  he visited them, and he served them. Let's imagine that when that blind guy came to he Jesus, Jesus said, "You're in my thoughts and prayers" and then left. That story would have turned out very differently. We all do and say things in our lives almost out of habit. Like think of how many times you've said "Hey how are you?" and not actually listened for the answer. Lots, I know. I do this ALL the time, and I'm working incr...

Do I Have What it Takes?

! Do I have what it takes? I've asked myself that about 436,598 times over the past 5 years, and in the course of my life.. I know I've asked it even more than that. Being self employed is not an easy task all the time, it's giving up partying on weekends, it's staying home to plan work, or to onboard a client. It's dealing with clients who preach one thing and practice another. It's knowing who you are in and out of the business. This week my friend and I watched Spider-man Homecoming.. okay.. we watched it for like the 5th time.. but whatever.. the point of it is.. there's a moment where Peter is talking to Tony and he says, "You can't take this suit, I'm nothing without it" Then Tony says, "If you are nothing without the suit then you shouldn't have it." Later when it builds to the pinnacle part of the story Peter is crushed under half a building, and he's trying to stand.. it's a very emotional moment fo...

In the Daylight

! I'm just a girl sitting here, wondering about the mysteries of the universe. I sat outside on a starry night under the blood wolf super moon waiting to feel the change the air has inside of it. "I'm searching for authentic, true, and loyal people who deeply love me." I whisper to myself as my shutter clicks. I felt the change I was seeking start to take root, I knew it would soon grow, but I was not prepared for what it would bring. I was not prepared to have you standing in the sun. There was no way I planned that there would be no more shadows surrounding who you were, and more so who I was in relation. The change in the air, brought in the truth I needed to visualize what was happening. Since that moment a shift has happened, to me, in clarity. It was like the blinders were ripped off and I was thrust in to the brightness of the noon day sun. I could see everything, there's no shadows, no more questions, no more doubt, only knowl...
