 Good Morning All. Happy Wednesday. I Hope you all have a Wonderful Wednesday. This morning I went to the gym and did the High Intensity Boot Camp Class. Great Class. I find it difficult trying to use the ladder when exercising. That's why I am assuming I have tennis elbow. Good class though. 

Tuesday July 29th, 2025

Good Morning All. I hope you all have a Terrific Tuesday as well as a Triumphant Tuesday. I will write more later. This morning I went to the gym and did Boxing. So what did I do in Boxing? I did Skipping, Push Ups, Speed Bag Work, Foot Work, I threw Punches and I did ABS. After that I didn't do too much. I did try to do some exercises for Tennis Elbow and then I got worried thinking maybe I was doing the wrong exercises. I hope your Tuesday was amazing and that you all got in some fitness and exercise.

As practice expands from the personal to the collective, from the internal to the external, from the particular to the universal, it comes to embody the value of inclusion of all things, of all people, of all differences.

Good Morning all. I hope you  all have a very Happy Sunday. I hope your Sunday is successful and filled with lots of moments throughout the day where you are able to shine. Make sure to get in some fitness and exercise today.  I had a client this morning from 0630 until 0830 and now I am chilling in the car in the driveway. I don't want to go inside the house as I will have to just head out again soon so what's the point of going in the house. I am browsing some medical office administration jobs right now and eating oatmeal. I am also trying to figure out how to get rid of all this mucus in my throat that keeps on building up. So I had my second shift from 1130 to 130. Afterwards I went back home and then headed out again and worked from 4pm until 7pm for Doordash. All to write for today. 

Wait so creativity wise I created some reels today for my Facebook Page "Over The Moon Enchanted Arts, Crafts and Textiles". That's about all to write. I hope you all had a good Sunday.

No matter how mundane some action might appear, keep at it long enough and it becomes a contemplative, even meditative act.

I worked today for two shifts. My first shift was from 0630 AM until 0830 AM with a lovely lady with down syndrome. I had a scare on the way to the clients house. A deer ran right infront of my car so I barely had time to stop so that had me all shaken up at first. My second shift was from 1000Am until 1200PM. before my second shift I went home for a bit and drank some tea and then I strummed the ukulele for a bit. I took a ukulele selfie and a ukulele video as well as a harmonica video. I am always taking photos and videos for my various facebook pages. In the second shift I was cleaning for two hours. After finishing the second shift I mailed a package to my parents. I mailed my parents murchies tea and included gifts for my niece who turns 5 at the beginning of August. I am going to go out and do food delivery a little bit later today. Just chilling at home for a bit first. 

Just doing a bit of knitting right now.

Good Morning all. Happy Thursday. I hope you all have a Terrific Thursday. This morning I was drinking coffee and I find now that when I drink coffee I like to write. Well  I am excited to say I finished Draft 1 of my 3rd novel today. I haven't gotten any of my novels published yet but my first goal is to self publish my novels. I am not sure when I will be self publishing any of my novels because I still want to do edits of each novel and add in illustrations and maybe make the novels longer. Well I actually do want to still make novel #3 longer. Anyways that's all to write about writing for now. Today I did meal prep. I also did some knitting and I was strumming the ukulele a bit. I also went to the gym and did the High Intensity Boot Camp Class and I went to Red Robins. 

The High Intensity Boot Camp Class was amazing and I tried to stay focused today. 

Red Robins was great. I met up with classmates from the Medical Office Administration program. Most of my classmates who showed up have jobs which is great.

While we might feel small, separate, and all alone, our people have never been more tightly tethered. The question’s not if we will weather this unknown, but how we will weather the unknown together.

Good Morning All. Happy Saturday. I hope you all have a very Successful Saturday and get some exercise in. I am "Trying To Push My Limits And See What's Possible on a daily basis". I will write more later. So I had a client this morning from 0630 until 0830. Now I am at home for a bit until I work for door dash. I am doing a bit of knitting on this secret project I am working on. Next row to do is 1 and 17. Sorry if that doesn't make sense but that is how it rolls. Knitting isn't always supposed to make sense. 

I am going to do some work right now on my fitness training course. Trying to get everything written on cue cards before the end of the weekend. Then I will take a week to study and take the fitness theory exam. 

Knitting Project

To have hope doesn’t mean being naïve optimists who ignore the tragedy of human evil. Hope is the virtue of a heart that doesn’t close itself in the dark, doesn’t stop at the past, doesn’t scrape along in the present, but can clearly see tomorrow.

Pope Francis

Good Morning All. I hope you all have a Fantastic Friday. Please make sure to try to do some exercise today. I think it is important to do exercise on a daily basis even if you just get out for a walk. I am doing laundry at the moment and drinking a cup of Chai Tea. I am also doing knitting. I will create a new blog post for my knitting project. I have some old blog posts of my knitting project. Hopefully this time I will actually not stop and do a bit each and every day since this knitting project is a gift for an aunt of mine. I am also studying to become a fitness trainer. I am trying to study on a daily  basis to become a fitness trainer.  

So today I went to the gym for Boxing. What did I do in Boxing today? I did Skipping and Push Ups. I did Speed Bag Work and Foot Work. I threw Punches and I did ABS. I got in shit at the Boxing gym. My fault. Maybe this time getting in shit will be motivation to be better. Because I feel like crap now. 

After Boxing when I got home the first thing I did was physio. After doing physio I filmed myself holding a plank. I have a goal to do planks daily. I also filmed myself doing push ups. Another goal of mine is to do push ups daily. I did some more knitting and I read a book for a bit. I also drank some tea and also water. Drinking water is really good for the body.

I debated about going for a run and then I took a look at myself in the mirror and said to myself how bad do you want it and then I did go for a run. I only went for a 3K Run tonight but it's start. Hopefully I will be going for Runs on a regular basis.

There comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other.​

Wangari Maathai

Hello All. Just thought I had better create a quick blog post for Thursday. I hope you all had a Terrific Thursday and managed to accomplish things that you wanted to accomplish as well as do exercise. In my opinion it is important to do exercise on a daily basis even if it is just going for a walk. 

So what did I do today? 

Well I created more videos of my acrylic paintings and took more photos of my acrylic paintings for my various Facebook pages, Instagram account and YouTube Channel. I also took a new video of the toques I have knitted and also a photo of the toques I have knitted and I started on a knitting project. I think that I won't post the knitting project until it's done. I also went to the gym this evening and took part in the High Intensity Boot Camp Class.

To step into your power means to trust yourself, your instincts, and your intuition. To let the fear go and the shame and tell the stories which need to be told.

Good morning all. I hope you are all having a wonderful Wednesday. I worked this morning from 0630 until 0830. I am now at home sorting through some things. I am going for a run today, doing ABS and doing Physio. 

"Practice What You Preach" 

I need to start following this quote. I also need to start being disciplined on a daily basis. I owe it to myself to become a better person. 

All to write for today.

Br. David Steindl-Rast

Good morning all and happy Tuesday. I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday. I just had a shower and now I am making myself a cup of tea. I might do a bit of knitting or attempt crochet before heading to the gym. Today I want to photograph the rest of my paintings and take videos of the rest of my paintings and then post the paintings on Facebook, Instagram and YOUTUBE. Then I will list the paintings for sale on Marketplace. It's hard work trying to be an artist like I wrote yesterday but I am trying my best to be an artist and promote myself as well as looking for a job in Medical Office Administration. I think I am also going to repost my toques on Marketplace but bring the price down for the toques. 

Okay so what I have done today so far? Boxing. Counselling and now I am doing some knitting. In Boxing I got in shit. I always get in shit in Boxing. Counseling wiped me out today but what I learned from counseling is that I need to show myself more self compassion and I also need to start being nicer to myself. 

On To Arts news I have been trying to post my art online today but internet or something is not on my side right now.

It's hard being an artist and trying to promote myself all the time through my creativity. I post on Facebook, Instagram and YOUTUBE. It gets annoying when I post things on YOUTUBE and in the title I say what it is and then you get a comment from people asking what my creation is. And I am like the creation is in the title and to me it looks obvious what it is so why even ask. Anyways this is me just venting. 

Well I have some exciting news to share with all of you. I sold an Acrylic Painting today. I will share photos and a link to a video as I started another YOUTUBE Channel today that focuses on my art. 

Squirrel and Duck Acrylic Painting. This is the painting I sold today for $30.00 Canadian.

I need to decide about all of the projects I have right now and figure out if I want to give all the items away or try to sell all of the items. 

Sunday July 13, 2025: "Know Your Limits And Push Past Your Limits". I love this quote as it really resonates with me and I want use this quote on a daily basis to push past the limitations in my life and also the limitations that people like my old teachers, my parents and relatives have put upon me. 

Anyways today I worked as a Health Care Assistant from 0630 until 0830 and also from 1130 until 130. Good shifts today. Great Clients. I also worked for Door Dash today. I only ended up doing one delivery today.
