Frank saved my life...and I don't even know his last name


The lovely lady in this picture and I have embarked on a new motto of life: Adventures that will never be beat! Between the two of us we have committed that we will be there for one another to do the crazy things that seem easier when you have a partner in crime. So, our first adventure occured this week as we took a little trip down 17th Ave to visit our new friend Frank. Frank owns The Art of Tarot. Frank has really long hair, and long fingernails, likes stuffed animals, owns a cat that is tailess and far too skinny, is an admitted chain smoker and holds the key to our deepest, darkest secrets.

Life has a funny way of throwing you a curve ball just when you were ready to swing at the change up, and it leaves you striking out and mistified at what went wrong, why you didn't see it coming, how you could have changed it, and more importantly what you are going to do next time you step up to the plate. After a few swings and misses you begin to wonder what you are really playing the game for. Ms. Amanda Hooker (one of the better people in this world) teamed up with me in the genious idea to take a $50 trip to have our future laid out upon a maple laquerd Ikea table. A half hour appointment, turned into 2 hours surrounded by a oversized stuffed tiger inspired by Siegfried and Roy left us laughing, contemplating, questioning....and then laughing some more!

Now I don't want to reveal all my secrets about what Frank shared with me, I would feel as though I was cheating on him. But here are the important things that I can tell the whole world:
  • I like money
  • I think I still believe that love exists, but I'm not sure I believe it will happen to me
  • Elements of my past will always seem to creep up into my life
  • And last but not least....Frank believes that I am going to be OK!

Best $50 bucks I ever spent!

Things I Learned About Myself by Moving 5,000 KM + An Ocean Away from Home

Call me crazy - but 1 month after getting married I told Matt I was ready for an adventure.  As if getting married wasn't a crazy enough adventure!  I learned very quickly after being with Matt that I needed to stop  asking for things because he always had a way of making them happen!  March 2015 a job posting appeared on the island of Kauai.  At first it seemed like a pipe dream...I mean who wouldn't just apply for a job in Hawaii?!  So that is what we did, applied for a job...had 3 long distance interviews...told our families + friends there was "potentially" an opportunity...they flew us out there for a final interview...we had a job offer...and sh!t got real!  After a lot of back and forth we decided to book 2 one way tickets to Kauai.  And here we are, 1 year later; and it's been the biggest adventure of my life so far.  Like most curve balls in life there is always a lesson waiting for you to be learned...so here is what I can honestly say has been my learne

Good things come to those who love....

I believe, or at least I hope that I believe that everyone will fall in love at least once. Others may experience it more, some less. I have no idea where I land on this continuum . I imagine somewhere between never wanting to date again, and wanting it all. Bit of a wide range, but you can never be too hasty! However, there have been a few experiences in which I never wish to relive, in fact even better, I have started to compose a list of things I would rather do than have to be left standing alone at the gas station of love using the self-service pump, aka go through that again! Get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face Contemplate if everything I though was right is wrong (black is white, up is down, short is long...) Slam my fingers in a door (again and again and again! But only 3 times, any more than that is risking permanent damage) Shove an ice pick under my fingernails Wear black leather in the hottest weather Hit a tree, these fender benders aren't really killing me Ju

The things I am thankful for

Image
With Thanksgiving coming and going this year I was blessed with the opportunity to sit in a room of 20+ people and share and listen to all the things in which the people whom I care the most about are thankful for in their lives. While this list can be entertaining with 9 wonderful nieces and nephews who spout off answers like "chocolate cake", "Auntie Rachel", "Dad" and "Lego", it is also filled with heartfelt answers of family, health, love and appreciation and of course with 4 girls in one family a few tears. I spent this week thinking about the simple things in life I was thankful for.... A brother who who always takes the time to listen Big sisters being patient with little sisters Cab drivers who know when to talk and when to be quiet PVR - so I never have to worry about missing all those girly shows Good friends who always make the bad days seem not so hard and the good days feel like heaven A mom who worries about you night and day but wo
