Future…Revisiting My Thoughts :-)

Thinking about my life lately and where I would like to see myself in the future.   The “What would I like to do with my spare time”.  Well here are my thoughts on this.

I would like a house that I can call home that has a decent amount of property so that I can have nice flower gardens, a pond and a nice vegetable garden.  I used to help my parents from time to time (as did all of the kids in family) and really enjoyed it.  I would like my home to have a large deck so that I can sit and relax on deck chairs looking out over the yard (some type of view would be nice too but I can make my own view).  A pool and hot tub would be nice as well.  I would like a home that I would be proud to have family and friends come over and spend time there…when an occasion came around

I would have an office and work strictly from home.  I love computer work and I would really like to be my own boss again.  And don’t get me wrong, I love my job that I have now. I don’t have any immediate plans to leave here.  My boss is DA BOMB!!!  No one could have asked for a better person to have as a boss.

So now I have to ask…”How do I go about this?”   Working on this as I think and ponder about things.

The one question I have been asked is… “Are you banking on winning the lottery?”  I buy tickets from time to time but I am not holding out for the big jackpot to come around.   If I won a major lottery (and it would have to be a big one), I would share with my siblings and 6 other people in my life.  But would still make sure that all I want to accomplish I would be able to do.   So Lottery Gods…look down favorably on me!!!

That is what I would like.  And would really be able to get used to…

Thanks for reading and “Penny for your thoughts?”.  Cheers and <3

May15, 2008 Horoscope

For me, I like to look at a horoscope reading to see how true to word they are to what is happening in my life on this day.  I do not follow what is laid out in the write up but continue on with my day as usual.  Usually I read the previous day’s horoscope the next day as not to be influenced by what was written in the horoscope.  If that make sense.  But today’s horoscope is true for what I am going through right now in my life.

Please feel free to comment or tell me about your thoughts on horoscopes, astrology, Chinese astrology etc.  I am interested in all of these areas but am not a devout follower.  I do not let a write up lead my life.  Cheers <3

Your horoscope for May 15, 2009 Social responsibilities may appear to be hitting you all at once; everyone you know seems to crave your company at this time. As a naturally polite and socially astute person, you may feel obliged to accommodate them all and accept all invitations. This is not a good day, however, to commit yourself. Wait a few days until you’re feeling a little more balanced, then send out your RSVP’s. Commit only to those who you would genuinely enjoy.

Mother’s Day…

Yesterday was Mother’s Day…I miss my Mom alot.  And my Dad too.

May is always a tough month for me. And ironically, my maiden name is May. For me, both my Mom and Dad passed away in May. Mom…four years ago on the 28th of May. Dad…ten years ago on May 9th, Mother’s Day. I have also had my mother-in-law and father-in-law pass away in May. My father-in-law passed away not more than 10 hours after my ex and I just got engaged. Really nice engagement. I was just happy that he had a nice surprise before he passed away. So May in general is a hard month.

Working through it and talking with Ed about it really helped me to understand that its okay to be a bit bummed out…but don’t let it rule you.   He is so full of good and trusting advice.  He made me feel so much better about things and especially on my dealings with May…my dreaded month.  I love him for this and many more reasons.

So to Mother’s Day…I worked, reminisced, was frustrated, cried, talked and realized.   I will never to forget…but now I think I can move on to May being a better month in my life instead of how I was viewing it.  Thank you Ed and thank you Mom and Dad for being such a big part of my life.  I Love You!!!

And The Winner Is….

We would like to congratulate Rachel from Victoria, BC for winning the “Help Us Help You” contest we had on.

We truly appreciate all of the help that everyone gave us.  It was really helpful and we will be using all suggestions as guidelines for what we will be carrying in our clothing transfer line-up.

The nice thing about this contest is that we had suggestions from as young as 13 years old to as old as 50 + years of age.  This is what we had hoped to achieve…a well-rounded group of suggestions.

Again thank you for all of your help and if another contest comes up…we will post again exactly how we did this time

Quality is…

To finish the title, quality is a home built to how you would like it, involving you in the designing and building stages, quality products used with professionals taking your vision and bringing your dream home to life.  This is what I believe BMG Homes brings to the table to make them stand above the rest.

Michael Schell has been involved in this role for many years through other outlets and has recently branched out on his own to be able to continue to provide the quality that he believes people deserve when it comes to building the home of your dreams.

With that being said, he carries on his level of excellence when designing, planning and building commercial dreams aswell.

Let BMG Homes be your next choice when building your next DREAM. To quote a line from this site,  “Your project is our project.”.

New Stuff Happening for Me!

Well, as most of you already know, I am working in the accounting field again (Details Bookkeeping Services)  and loving it.  I had a lot of anxious moments getting back into this line of work as I like to take control of things and most times take on way too much for me to handle.  This I am watching very carefully at this time as I burnt myself out over a year ago in this field before moving to Victoria, BC.  I took basically a year off getting myself back on track with work and life.  I have a great boss, a good job and work right in downtown Victoria, BC.  It’s great and I totally love it.

I am still employed with London Drugs and work one day a week for them.

I am excited to say that I am working for Western Speedway again this year in food prep and possibly in the beer gardens on Fight Night!  Food safe and Serving It Right all in place last year for this.

The next really big thing in my life is Static Image owned by Edward Gravonic (owner/photographer). He is also the special one in my life (hopefully for a long time ).

Static Image is a business where people can take their photo-memories and have them placed on a number of different types of product (mugs, water bottles, tiles, resellers for crystals (yes real…not acrylic), their headshot on a Bobblehead (reseller), and much much more).  We have acquired presses to be able to do fabric printing (T-shirts, canvas etc.).  And will also accept Logo designs to be put on product…or in the case of crystals, into crystal.  Email myself or Ed for pricing on product.  And for the larger people in life (smaller too…we can accommodate all) we will be bringing out a T-Shirt line up.  This is not on our site yet but letting people know we can do this.

Now our business line-up is not a new idea in today’s world but as everything is hand done except with pressing applications, we can tailor your order to your needs.  We are small and are very detail oriented.   Drop me a note if you or your business would like a price quote on an up and coming order you may have.  I have also been working on designing and printing of business cards, letterhead, etc….but this is new for me personally.

Our site will be going through some design changes and additions shortly to be able to let people know what we can produce for them.  If a special request is in order, let us know.  We will do our best to see what we can get for you.

All in all, a pretty busy life for me right now.  And with Ed in my life, it just keeps getting better and better.   Drop me a note.  Remember…LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE, LEARN and be HAPPY.  Most of all be happy in what ever you are doing in life.  Cheers & <3 peeps!!!

Just had to write…

Have you just wanted to tell the world how you feel about things in general…about life, love, people you know, where you see your life heading, etc. It would take way to long to list everything.

The internet is a wonderful media for doing this!  I have had awesome opportunities to meet people and experience peoples’ joy & happiness, sadness, pain and outright anger in different social media applications and sites than I think I ever would have in the real world being face to face.  I am a fixer and would always try not to invoke anger or dismay in any situation that comes about.

The wonders of technology today…and still growing ever faster with each day that passes by.  I love the immediate response that engaging on the internet has offered.  I love that in a family situation where people have video communication of some sort, they can see each other and share their day or say goodnight to their kids.  I love that I can go all over North America and keep in touch with everyone by email through my phone (Blackberry 8130…wanting to get a Blackberry Bold.  Can anyone help me out with that? ).  I love that I can share my photographs with people throughout the world.  Technology has enhanced so many peoples’ lives without them really taking a moment to realize how much.  I appreciate what has come to benefit me through technology.  Thank you to all that have made this possible.

Do not take advantage of what this world has to offer us.  Embrace and appreciate all technological advances which benefit us in this day and age.  But most of all, do not lose sight of what is important in your lifetime…your family, friends and people who have embraced you and held you dear in their lives and whom you hold dear in your life.

Real people are what makes all of these advances great…they are the ones who brought these advances into the world, made them better and then shared them with the world.  Just remember that when you get so wrapped up in the internet, video game systems, computer programs and applications, you may lose sight of REAL PEOPLE.  Get out and enjoy your life with other people…face to face.

Okay, forking off into a different direction now.  Time to wrap this up!  Please remember this always:

LIVE, LAUGH,LOVE, LEARN AND BE HAPPY IN YOUR LIFE <3

STATIC IMAGE

Lately I have been involved in the process of setting up an image transfer business.  Loving this BTW.  Static Image will host many products that can have image transfers placed on the product.

Ed Gravonic (owner and photographer) and I have finally been able to perfect image transferring to mugs and metal water bottles.  Awesome process and has been wrought with aggrevation and inspiration for both Ed and myself. Mainly Ed lol – he is putting up with R&D and me…not an easy thing to do

Figuring out the $ cost per item was fun.  Not the easiest thing to do but we finally got this done and have the start of our stock line up going on the site tonight!  Ed is in the final stages of setting up the website and e-commerce site link.

We are having fun doing this and hope that the business takes off. Check it out!

Cheers <3

Back in the daily grind of things…

And loving it. I have gone back into the accounting field again and realized finally that this is the work I love and am meant to do in life. I have had little stress since getting back into it and love working downtown.  Once it warms up a bit, will be venturing out more to photograph the city before, during (on lunch) and after work hours.

I took a break from basically life to get back on track after my separation and basically being burned out and not really knowing what I wanted in life now that my life had changed so drastically. During this break, I moved back to Victoria, BC (something I had wanted to do for a long time). I took on a few jobs and finally ended up with London Drugs. I love this job enough to have asked them to schedule me in for one day plus some on-call work. But I needed a job to keep my mind busy and keep me sharp. Accounting and bookkeeping is what does this. Details Bookkeeping Services is where I am now and in the heart of Victoria, BC. I have been blessed with finding this job and having the boss I do.

I am now back on track and ready to take on anything that comes my way.  Looking forward to everything again

Off to spend some quality relax time!!!  Cheers <3
