3 Mistakes That are Killing your SEO

If you had the best content in the world, and no one saw it, does it still count as the best? So you are struggling getting ranked on Google.. here's some small things that you can change today that are effecting your Search Engine Optimization (SEO). 1) You're Not listed with Google  This one may seem self explanatory but you'd be amazed at how  many people have not listed their business with Google. The wonderful thing about this is that you can change this in about 2 minutes. Step 1: Follow the Link https://www.google.com/business/ Step 2: Sign in and fill out all the information. Privacy never helped anyone get found online. Step 3: Request a verification code. This will show up 10-14 days after. Step 4: Plug in Verification code. Step 5: BAM. You are now listed with Google+, Search, and Maps. 2) You're Not Meta Tagging your Pictures Yes, this is still important. You know that moment when you upload your pictures, and it says IMG_

Restarting

I used to hate the feeling of forced restarts. They kind of always sucked. Usually it was a broken heart, or massive disappointment. This time, it was a choice. I chose to restart my life. That's okay. Sometimes things don't work out, and sometimes people let us down. That's okay too. It's their choice just as much as it's yours. Restarting doesn't have to be scary, crazy, or life changing. It can be as simple as every day telling yourself that you are okay, you are worth something, and you deserve love. Each day is a chance for us to restart and reevaluate our lives. This world has made it so we need to check all these little boxes in order to be a "real adults" (barf) HOW LAME IS THAT. Let me tell you, I'm so done living a life dictated by people who have no interest in me other than money. If you don't want to go to school, don't.  If you can't fathom the idea of children, don't have them.  If you want a love that last

Smashed Windows

10 days ago I was changing locations on my travels through Utah. I packed up my mini cooper with my workout bag (this included 3 pairs of shoes, headphones, 5 pairs of yoga pants, 3 sports bras, 7 tank tops, my shower stuff, and deodorant) then I loaded up my 2 long boards, one being a Land Yatchz and the other my sector 9, finally I put my  Cannon camera bag, (It had my 7D a 50mm 1.4 lens, and a 35-118 1.8 lens in it. Along with a charger 4 batters, camera strap, and all my business cards). I thought to myself, I'm going to run across the street, grab a coffee then load my final bag into my car and take off to Roy. So that's what I did, however when I returned from across the street to my utter horror my window had been smashed, and everything from my car was gone. After I called the cops, and some friends to come and help I turned into a catatonic mess. I literally stood by my window and stared at my car for hours. Finally I decided I looked like a psychopath and therefore

Balance

Not too long ago I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off, doing many tasks but feeling like I was never accomplishing anything. Have you ever felt this way? Then I had a wonderful conversation with my Daddy, he listened as I ranted about how I felt my whole life was falling apart and how I was such a failure (I know I'm a drama queen). But that's honestly how I felt. Then he told me the story of when he first opened his practice and how he made a routine and no matter what he wouldn't break it. I remembered many times, him following through even if it meant less sleep, or a little more stress, but no matter what he made time for all of us, and himself. After this long conversation and about 3 months later I had started to build the same way he did, only I called them my balance points. (I know I'm just a workout nerd) Balance points are defined when weight is equally distributed when resting on a single spot. That spot is me. The following are the we

Happiness

People spend their whole lives searching for the elusive happiness, however what they don't understand is they posses it in themselves and have had it captive for as many years as they are searching for it. When people say happiness is a choice, they mean it. This life sucks sometimes. Hearts become casualties, lovers turn to strangers, best friends pass away, and worst of all sometimes we lose sight of our happiness. For me, happiness is a struggle. I tend to wear my emotions very visibly, maybe this is a good thing, but that also means when I'm aching, it's hard to choose happiness. I want to hide under a blanket and never surface. I would almost always choose to hide then to show my vulnerable side. This could most likely be a flaw within myself, a flaw that I am working on for sure. However it also shows my true self, and sometimes my true self doesn't choose happiness, because I'm human, and humans occasionally suck. But the wonderful thing about happines

In Review: 2016

Since as long as I can remember I've always liked to sum up my years. I tend to be terrible at journaling, so therefore I sum it all up. You can see 2015 here.    2016 has been an absolutely amazing, and gave me the room I needed to heal and become. There aren't many things I can say about it other than I needed 2016. It was wonderful, peaceful, complete and more so, it helped me grow even more into who I am today.  This year I'm breaking down the months a little different, I hope you enjoy it.  January   I started my year in New Orleans, I city I've always wanted to see, I fell in love, and explored every inch of it. This is my favourite picture I captured. It turned a year since Teina passed away, and I still feel it, every day. I began toying with the idea of quitting my 9-5 and travelling the world, mainly because when I came back to Canada it was rather cold and snowy. New Orleans.
