Positive refresher course


Today I decided to watch a self help movie that I haven't watched in a long time. The movie is called "The Secret" it's a great movie about controlling our thoughts and using positive thinking to create our lives the way we want to live it. I don't believe that my explanation is doing the movie justice....so checkout the website on your own and judge for yourself. thesecret.tv

Day after Toga


Oh my God.....why do I continue to drink? My head feels like a car drove over it....ouch. Anyway,I did have a good time last night...except for a few dramas. I'm getting too old for this crap....lol

Toga night


Tonight at Partners Ultra Lounge in Portage is Toga night!!! Terry and I are making our Toga costumes for the party and I would not have believed that creating a Toga would be so difficult. I looked like a bundle of unrolled toilet paper. Luckily a few minor touches and safety pins in the right places, made for a pretty cool costume. ...
Now how do I get out of this thing?

Bummer


Last night I got a bit of bad news,when I found out that the website name that I was working so hard to create was already taken. I tried to think of alternative names and spellings....but none seemed to work. After a few hours of stressing over a domain name...I remembered a domain that I had purchased a long time ago but never used. My mood instantly changed and my thoughts for my business took a completely different turn...for the better.

Sink or swim


I'm about to start my own business and the closer the deadline gets...the more nervous I get. I'm trying my best not to get distracted,but every so often the thought of what could go wrong runs through my head. So today when the thought of doubt tried to take over,I simply got on the computer and began designing t-shirts for my website. Pat on the back for me :)

Half full


What does the future hold for us? Good or bad,we have a choice to look at our daily circumstances as a hurdle or a lesson. Sometimes the future can be a scary thought to ponder...though the uncertainty can cause ones imagination to run wild. So when my fears begin to get the best of me...I try to remember the positive things in my life and to maintain focus on the goals at hand.

Web building


Since the company that I work for is planning to close its doors by October 18th,the number of employee's have quickly dwindled to a streamlined few. Some have transferred to our other sister plants. Some have quit or got fired for some reason or another. The remaining few continue to push forward to the very end...still not sure of what's to come,once they are handed that last paycheck. As for me,I plan to keep my eye's open for other employment...but I don't plan to rely on that as my only source of income.
I would like to start my own business. So on my days off,I have been working diligently on creating a website to sell my t shirts online. It's slowly coming along and looking better and more professional everyday. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't nervous about my own financial future...but I try not to think about it or let it distract me from my goals.
As Leonardo De Caprio once said in the movie TITANIC,"When you have nothing,you have nothing to lose."
