Day 27- my day job verses my passion


Oh geez, where to even start with this. I did a few posts on this a while ago but to summarize I don’t know what my passions are. I know what I like doing but I don’t know how to translate those into jobs. My goals are to pay off my house so I can do stuff not for money but for the enjoyment of it, so to me right now, I’ve decided that I don’t care where I work as long as the work isn’t too bad and it pays enough. That’s where I’m at. My passions are staying as a side thing. My blogging, painting, traveling, cooking, taking care of my dog, those are going to stay as side things right now, and maybe I can turn those into careers at some time but for now I’m ok with how things are. I’m always looking for other opportunities; looking for something that would fit my passions within a job but no luck yet!

Day 25- what I would find in your bag


I often refer to my bag as the black hole or the Bermuda Triangle. I try really hard to organize it and use all the compartments but I have so much in there it still takes a little time to find everything:

- Kleenex
- Lotion
- A pocket mirror
- Coupons
- Business cards
- My Ipod
- Nuts or seeds of some sort (I always need to have a snack on me!)
- Lip chap
- Lip gloss
- A pen
- Hair elastics
- Band Aids
- Bobby pins
- My phone
- Wet Ones
- Advil
- A flash drive
- And of course my wallet and what’s in there is a whole other story


I’m sort of like a mom when it comes to being prepared with my bag but minus the kids

Day 22- what makes you different from everyone else

I’ll be honest, I’m still trying to figure this one out myself. I struggle with feeling like we’re all really a lot the same and we’re not all that unique. I know that’s not true when it comes to our gens; no two person is exactly the same, but I see a lot of people like me and I don’t really know what makes me different then everyone else. I know the combination of my interests, likes, dislikes, personality traits, my looks and weight all make me different but I’m not sure of one thing that would really make me stand out.

I think for a Christian I think a lot more out of the box then the people I’m usually around but yet I still very much believe in morality and living by a standard. I believe in giving everything a second chance and I focus my attention on things like used items, plants, and reusing because those are things that I can have control over and do my part with. A put a lot of effort in reducing my “carbon footprint” as they call it but I think in general we just should care a whole lot more for our plant. It’s a gift not something that’s just here to be used up like a consumer product. I have a compassion for animals in need and nursing plants back to health that other people have discarded. I think I feel like every living thing should get it’s chance.

I feel like there should be bigger things that make be different then other people but I think when it comes down to it it’s those small things that really count in the end and I need to remember that.

(He has just gotten fixed here, so he had to wear his cone for a while)

My dog, Ollie. He brings me a lot of happiness. He makes me mad sometimes too-Like the time he ate a hole in my perfect condition antique couch-but over all he's one of the best sources of happiness in my life.

Day 20- write a letter to someone


Dear Isabelle,

I wanted to write you a letter to tell you how much your kindness meant to me. You opened up your life and home selflessly to me the day you meant me. I came to the info centre, it was my first time at Hillsong, and the first weekend I was in Sydney and right away I could tell I had a friend in you. Although at the time I was pretty immature and young in comparison to you that didn’t matter and you treated me equal. You made my time there and my home sickness so much better and you created so many memories for me that I know on my own I wouldn’t have developed. You gave me the insiders perspective of the city and you helped me make friends and really appreciate my time away. I’ve never experienced such acceptance in a church and I’ll always be thankful to you for taking me in as a sister. Thank you for your friendship and thank you for being a true Christian (the way we really should be).

All my love,
Amanda

Day 19- write about a sweet memory from your past


On Christmas Day this year my mom, sister, and Paul were at our house. We were in the middle of opening gifts. Everyone had a hot drink, there was lots of food to be had, the fire log and music was on the TV, the Christmas lights and candles were going. We were laughing and having a good time and I just had this overwhelming feeling of contentment and joy. It was a perfect moment and it just felt so good. The is the most whole my family has been in a long time and to be able to share that time with all of them was wonderful.

Day 18- plans/dreams/goals you have


This is another one that I pretty much covered in my 2011 Goals post but for right now the plan is to pay of our house. We want to do it within 10 years. I think for me the real reason I want to do that is so that I don’t have to work if I don’t want to and that when I do work I can work in whatever sort of job I want. And the biggest reason would be to travel. I LOVE to travel and I want to spend a lot of time doing it. I love seeing and trying new things and it kills me to have to stay put for such a long period of time. It’s not that I want to move somewhere else I just want to see other things.

I think a dream I have right now is having a Natural or Holistic Clinic. I’ve really been working on my dreams and passions and trying to come up with something that I would really love to do and as of right now that’s really the only thing I can think of. I really believe in the treatments and I’m a manager and leader, I don’t make a very good employee, and I don’t think that’s what I’m meant to be.


Here’s the list of daily tasks if you want to play along!

Day 17- someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why


I think I would pick Oprah because I’d like to see what her life is really like day to day and who she really interacts with. I find her very interesting but I always wonder what’s underneath you know?

Day 16- a picture of yourself


I know it says a picture of myself, but I love this photos so Marshall is in this post too. This was over 4 years ago but I just love this photo and I guess more over this time in my life. I loved my hair, and my crazy great tan (I haven't had one that good since!) and Marshall and I had just started dating, so it was just all around an exciting great time (the night of this photo was the night he first put his arm around me....aw, the tingling feeling is coming back just thinking about it!)

Day 14- a picture of you and your family


I know there's Marshall's side of the family too, but to me this is my family I started with so this is what I answer with for this question. Our wedding was over a year and a half ago but with Cyrstal and Paul living in Montreal and my parents not being together anymore we don't get a lot of family shots so this is the newest one I have.

In a lot of ways I see myself as having four parts to my family; there's my mom, me, Marshall, Crystal and Paul, then there's my dad, Christine (his wife), Marshall, me, Crystal and Paul, then Marshall's dad, Marshall, me, Ashley and Justin (M's siblings), and then the last being Marshall's mom, me, Marshall, Ashley and Justin. It's sort of all complicated but we're making it work.

30 Days of Blogging, Day 13

Day 13- your 5 favorite books and why

Blue Like Jazz- This was one of the first “Christian” but not “self help” books I read and it just really opened my eyes to how everyone is different and I don’t have to conform to the usual Christian perception if I don’t want to; I can be who ever and how ever I want to be and still be a Christian (I know that statement is pretty loaded but I am focusing more on individuality then morality in that statement). Oh, and did you know they are making a movie?

The Bible- Well I’m a Christian and I know that doesn’t automatically mean I’ll love the Bible but I try to live my life by this book (New Testament) and go back to it for guidance all the time. It’s like my “how to do life better” hand book.

Pride & Prejudice- I love this time period, chivalry and romance. I just love the classics

The Twilight Saga- I know that’s 4 books but I love all of them. It’s nice to get to live outside yourself for a little while and to imagine a little excitement. I love the way she writes and the way she writes intimacy; it’s still very private (not so descript) but you really know where she’s going with things too.

The Narnia Books- My Favorite these would be The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I love the childish perspective and the simplicity of the writing but yet it just pulls you in like a fair tail which I love.

Day 12- write a poem to someone you love

Marshall, you are the love of my life
You make me smile
You make me laugh
Your hugs always make my days better
You listen so well, I always feel your care
You’re tall
You’re handsome
And your smile defused my stress
Marshall, you are the love of my life
I can’t wait for each new day with you

Ok, I’m not a poet and this poem is supper cheesy but I’m just going along with the tasks! It didn’t say it had to rhyme or sound good!
