knock Out

I finally did it, I got a job..it took me 2 months looking and a lot of waiting and hoping but I am officially a sales associate at a new Home Sense opening up a few blocks away from my building in Toronto.

So I have been battling these really ridiculous thoughts which I am SO sick and tried of! I'm not going to keep telling myself that taking a part time job at Home Sense is somehow a let down. Over and over we (in other words -me) put on this show dumbing down an opportunity because it is less than what we (I) expect...but i am not even going to entertain those thoughts anymore. MAMA'S GONNA KNOCK YOU OUT! SO I am Knocking those thoughts OUT! POWWW!

I am frustrated because I know what everyone is thinking..HECK I am thinking it! I know everyone can agree that WE (You and Me!) are our own worst critics. I have been through the ringer..beating myself up day after day after day about breaking into the creative advertising industry and I have tried to fit it into this 'ideal' position and formula that I see has worked for some but I have yet to make it work.

I will never give up on my dreams but I will say that I am not sorry that I made all of my dreams so loud and vocal, I actually like it..everyone close to me knows what I want for my life and self and this makes me want it even more. I am a passionate dreamer and the underdog who spends more time in the pit slugging it than on lush greenery but this is who I am..I have always had to fight and struggle for what I want and I get it...everyone thanks there is an easier way but get real! Every direction you go requires the same level of effort..dedication and desire..and with those things you can achieve anything! I have had years of experience of navigating through incredibly challenging situations and I ALWAYS end up on top because I have the passion that can take me there and you know what..I still got it.

So ..ya..right now I am going to be working part-time at Home Sense..but watch out..these are the times when I gain momentum..speed..and the drive that fuels those big life changing moments for me.

I can't wait for the next one to happen. I don't understand why I am how I am but this is me and these are the moments that my life has been built on, they have made me the strong person I am and given me the confidence I need to face another challenge. I will succeed.

POWWWW!

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
