An Honest Days Work.
Hey readers! It's been a while I know. I've been crazy busy with work.
I'm gonna start up another blog that's a little more light-hearted, links to come once its up and running
I've found something I love doing and in doing that I have excelled quickly at it. I am well on the path of healing and am so strong in what I am doing now. I had a lovely visit a friend I graduated from highschool with. shes going on her own path of healing right now. she looks amazing and I realized something...
So do I!
I look freaking fantastic. I'm still doing what I want and living for me.
I think a large part of the reduced blog postings is I have finished the healing I needed that was facilitated by this.
I'll still come and chat with you lovely people every now and then. but I think I'm going to keep up my writing by doing something a little more 'fun' for me.
...stay tuned for links!
(also I have added a guest writer who may post anything they feel relevant to the "happiness is..." blog.)

Being Alive.
Angels are reaching out to me today...
They are telling me to keep being strong. To keep fighting for my happiness. Keep moving forward.
I appreciate their messages to me. I still have the chance to do more with my life, the lives of the
angels speaking to me today were cut short.
For them, I promise to more actively appreciate my life. I know I've been doing that already... but I
was in a little bit of a slump after being harassed by some of the bad people...
what I was given today was a gentle reminder that life is beautiful and to keep on enjoying it.

The LG Phoenix, a great way to enter into the world of smartphones
The times are changing and so is the way we are using our phones; the way we do business on them is changing, yet many people find themselves still using a phone that flips open and doesn’t have much substance to it other than a number pad. This is an approach that may work well for some people, but in a competitive society such as ours, most people need access to their business on the go, in a manner that isn’t going to take more than a few moments out of their day. The hurdle that many people will have to take to accomplish this is letting go of their old device. This can be a stressful decision, since almost everyone gets comfortable with one particular device, as well as their plans; The increased cost of moving from a basic phone plan to one that includes data as part of its services, may deter some cellular users.
This is where the LG Phoenix comes in: A new smartphone that has only been on the market since April 2011. An entrant into the world of smartphones, and someone who’s likely going to be looking at an increased cost is likely to ask themselves a question something along the lines of, “Why would I want to go with a smartphone? Wouldn’t I be better off going with an inexpensive basic model?” The LG Phoenix answers this question for you by setting itself at the fantastic price of 19.99 on a 3-year term.
Rogers also answers the call of the budget-minded by offering a fantastic 40.00/month plan available on a few select handsets, including the LG Phoenix, that includes: MY10 Canada-wide and 200 weekday minutes to ensure all your needs for voice services are met, Unlimited text/picture/video messaging, as well as unlimited Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace, for all your social networking needs. As an added bonus, the plan includes a reasonably priced 100MB Smartphone data package to make sure you always have access to e-mail, work website, and the internet on the go.
With the question of price and budget now out of the way, is this in fact a quality handset? I’m pleased to say that yes it definitely is. Some of the major features of this phone are that it is running one of the latest versions of the Android operating system (2.2. also known as “FroYo”) and has a 3.2” capacitive touch screen, accelerometer and proximity sensors for auto-rotate and automatic screen control. The screen also supports multi-touch controls for “pinch-zoom” web browsing and other applications that support the feature.
As with most Rogers phones, this is a GSM handset with quad-band receivers. This means that you can comfortably take this phone with you nearly anywhere around the world and not have to worry about whether or not your phone will work.
The memory on this device is a little bit short, coming with only 160MB of internal memory and a 2GB Micro-SD card to start, but the good news in this is that applications can be stored on the SD card and the memory slot supports up to 32GB of memory!
To Conclude, the Phoenix may not have some of the bells and whistles that the more expensive Android models have (Higher MP camera, Gorilla Glass, AMOLED screen etc.) but it debuts as the perfect option for those looking to make the leap into the world of smartphones with an inexpensive new device, running current software. The LG Phoenix is a great choice for consumers looking for a smartphone that just, plain and simple, works for a price that easily fits into their budget.

New Years Resolutions... Kept.
I'm leaaaavvvinnnnggg on a jet plaaaannneee, don't know when I'll be baack agaiiinn~~~
I resolved to do a couple of things this year, and although I did not achieve any of these goals in exactly the way that I imagined I would have, they are nonetheless achieved.
NEW YEARS RESOLUTION #1
Get out of my crappy dead-end job!
I realized after nearly two years of hard work put into a company that I was exactly the same place I was in when I started the job, and it looked like the next two years would be the same as well. I was working for my job to stay the exact same. I needed a job that worked for me, where the people brought me up and motivated me, supported me. I found that job. I took that job. The job had amazing earning potential. I did awesome at that job. I quit that job. You probably are questioning my sanity right now... don't worry, I've done enough of that for the both of us. "Why would you leave the exact thing you were looking for in a job?!". The reason I left what seemed like the perfect job is because of the most frequently used three letter word in this paragraph. J-O-B. I was in another job. Though I was very close to what I wanted, it was another job, and in two or three years my search would start over if I stayed with them. So, NEW YEARS RESOLUTION #1 COMPLETE. I am not only done with my crappy dead-end job, I'm done with crappy dead-end jobs in general... it's career time for me.
NEW YEARS RESOLUTION #2
This year is the last year I will lease!
I had fully intended to fulfil this new years resolution closer to November or December of this year... I wanted to move forward into a place of my own, I was tired of sitting around in an "okay" living space, paying somebody elses mortgage. Life is crazy though and will move along at it's own pace. It's not even May and I am lease free! Through the graces of my exceptionally understanding landlords, I am free of the hold of a contractual lease and at no penalty to my income. I cannot say for sure at this point in time if it is the last time I will ever lease a place, it may become necessary again in the future. I am now wiser though, I will approach the situation with appropriate caution and most importantly I have learned that some things are much easier to do than they are to undo. With that, NEW YEARS RESOLUTION #2 COMPLETE.
NEW YEARS RESOLUTION #3
I'm going to focus more on myself!
This one definitely came about in a most unexpected way. I had made this resolution as more of a cliche 'I'm going to exercise more, and eat healthy' B.S. typical new years resolution. My life was already in jeopardy at this point though, and focusing more on myself was going to be more of a life-or-death situation than I realized. In the first three months of 2012 I strayed as far away from this resolution as I possibly could. I don't know who or what or where I was at that point in time. It all came to a head when I was faced with a decision to either continue on the path I was heading, the path of least resistance... which would lead to my death. Or I could stand up and start fighting, it hurt like hell and I had a face that was bruised enough to prove it... but I stood up and started fighting for myself. I called out for help, and that was the difference between life and death. I have had more people than I can count abandon me for taking this path, but ultimately they are just distractions from what really matters. ME. NEW YEARS RESOLUTION #3 COMPLETE
I'm currently unemployed, I've had several possessions stolen this year, I almost died, I broke lease with my landlord, I was with a cheating and abusive ex, I had a friend from kindergarten abandon me.... the funny thing is, this has been the most amazing year of my life. I've driven the entire trans-canada highway! I've got an awesome new (and huge!) tattoo for free! I've seen the ocean and the great lakes! I found a calling in caring for animals! In four hours I will be on my first plane ride ever!

Where the Heart is.
Even this far away from where I grew up... things are the same.
They say home is where the heart is... for a while I had lost my heart and home. I went to a dinner event and had old teachers ask me where I was living. I felt like I didn't have that answer, I believed that I had no home. I was twenty-one years old and had nothing to show for it I thought, while metaphorically licking my still fresh wounds. I'm now as far away as I could possibly be from any place that I would have called home without taking a plane ride, and guess what? I feel more at home than I have in a very very long time. All of this in spite of the fact that I wake up to only two familiar faces every day, I spend half my nights falling asleep on a couch, and every day I encounter more and more new faces, new names to memorize.
I'm not twenty-one years old though, I'm twenty-one years young, and I have gained twenty-one years of knowledge to show for it, and an incredibly supportive and amazing family. My family celebrates dinner every Sunday together, as long as its possible we will stop everything.. put everything else aside to spend one evening with those who are close to us. I know right about now my loved ones are all sitting around a table to eat a delicious meal prepared by my loving step-mother. Three of us are missing from that table, but when we can, we will be back. Surprisingly, I still had a family dinner... this other family, to whom I bear no blood relations, sits down every Sunday for dinner with their loved ones! I have never met a single one of these people before today, but they invited me into their home to share a meal with them and be with them during their celebration of family. They helped me to feel 'at home' because they knew that I had felt so far away from it. I had my own family dinner on the other side of the country today... oh. and there was just about as many animals as there were people.
I learned today that the saying "Home is where the Heart is" is really true. My heart is inside of me, no matter where I am, and no matter where I go, I will always be at home. Friends and Family ask me "when are you coming home?" I know they mean the location, as in a location that is closer to them... but in a very real way, I am home right now.
