Interview 4 Inspiration – Caitlin Boyle of Operation Beautiful For the Love of Change 09/01/2010
 Why is it that change, even when it is good change, can be so uncomfortable? Change inevitably brings with it many new obstacles and challenges to overcome. The good thing is change makes life exciting. You never quit feel your breath the same way you do when you are on the verge of change. The excitement, the nervousness, the unknown, all makes you feel alive. It is a roller coaster of emotions from highs of enthusiasm and anticipation, to lows and moments of worry or stress. There are moments when life can seem quiet and comfortable, and there is peace and serenity that can be found and enjoyed in these times. As you continue traveling along your journey, the ride that is your life runs into times of change, sometimes unexpected, sometimes planned, but nerve-racking nonetheless. If you embrace these times you may find yourself enjoying the ride even more. I believe it is possible to learn to love and find joy in moments of calm serenity, as well as adapt and let the roller coaster of emotion in the often seemingly fast-past times of change give you great excitement and happiness too. Our lives never stay quiet and calm, or on the edge of your seat exciting all the time. There are moments and times of both. Life can be enjoyed and treasured through both. Keeping perspective of the big picture and who you are deep down at your roots gives you a sense of being grounded no matter what your life currently entails. Like the Back of My Hand 08/31/2010
 Have you ever stared at something so closely, gazed at something so many times you knew every bump, grove, and crack? So many days, so many minutes, were spent staring at that button trying to work up the courage to push it. When he finally did, she lived there no more. New Blog Friends 08/30/2010
Sunday I was fortunate to meet some great new people! Scott Young put together a meet-up in Vancouver, and 6 bloggers and/or entrepreneurs attended. My lovely friend Aly, who if you’ll please excuse me I have to plug here for a second because she is AWESOME!! Aly is a very talented Canadian artist and mompreneur who designs, creates, and sells handmade, unique pieces of jewelry and wearable art. Please check out her site! OK, enough gushing over the most amazing jewelry artist on the planet (and it’s a BIG planet!). J Not bad considering we spell jewelry differently. Who am I kidding? Spelling is not my talent; really I just do what spell check tells me! 8-P After finding each other outside of Starbucks, which was bumpin we decided to walk over to The Urban Tea Merchant at 1070 West Georgia St. Vancouver. Even though going there wasn’t pre-planned I really liked it and would definitely go back. It worked out perfectly because without too much of a wait for being downtown we got a large table and could easily chat and hear one another. I would most definitely go back! Here is the group minus one L We didn’t think to take the picture until after one person left.  Save Money – Keep Lunch Simple 08/29/2010
 Lunch is my favorite time of day to focus my meal around healthy fruits and vegetables, as well as any small amounts of leftovers. Our family spends a lot of money on food. I’m guessing many of you feel that way too! When I say food I’m not talking about eating out either. The grocery store can really suck you dry if you’re not careful, especially when buying for a whole family. My favorite way to save money on groceries is to waste less. It is a really simple concept but works well and helps cut down the number of products you buy each week. Tear Storm 08/29/2010
 Now that you’re gone my favorite place to stand is in the rain. The rain drops make my tear drops feel less alone. They wash away some of the sting. Why are we always trying to predict how long it’s going to rain? The only thing I’m sure of is you never really know. I haven’t met a storm that lasts forever yet... 
Old Memories 08/29/2010
 How many memories cling to these bars? I wonder. Can they be felt by those making new ones? Is it possible for old memories to come alive in new souls?
Think Safety 08/29/2010
 When he became a Dad all he could think about was safety. Everywhere he went there were signs, and he wasn’t one to ignore them. The worst part was he couldn’t even escape those damn signs at work!
