1000 happy days - Day 312

Come, come, whoever you are.

Wonderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.

It doesn’t matter.

Ours is not a caravan of despair.

Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times

Come, yet again, come, come.

-Rumi

1000 happy days - Day 311

Guys.  I know I've said this before but...

I LOVE THE VOICE!!!

Yeah this week's episodes made my night tonight.  ❤️

1000 happy days - Day 310

A quote by Rumi:

Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.
I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons, knocking on a door. It opens. I’ve been knocking from the inside.
Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.

1000 happy days - Day 309

Today I woke up relaxed.  I visited Meez and baby Eric - so cuddly! :)

And Mai's bear Anand was there!

Pretty adorable...!

Also, fixing up my iPod playlists made me happy.  I like being organized. :)

Gnite my loves. ❤️

:) xo

1000 happy days - Day 308

Today I'm so proud to be Canadian!!!

Election night.  We watched with baited breath.  I'm pretty excited that my fellow Canadians banded together and voted out the Conservative government.  Glad there's a Liberal majority.  

Hate and prejudice will never win in my beloved country.

"My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world."  - Jack Layton

Na na na na

Hey hey hey hey

GOODBYE!!!

Oh and specifically, Ajax went Liberal after a heated battle:

Yeah!!! Thank God for my beautiful Canada! ❤️ :) :) :)

1000 happy days - Day 307

Got some good time in under the "self-love and self-care" category today!  Looking forward to starting a liver cleanse after next week.  Hopefully this will help kick start some healthy habits. :)

Celebrated Nafs today for being a superstar and getting promoted to partner at a prominent Bay Street law firm.  Very proud of her!  Pic of the babies from the get-together:

Spent the evening with my beloved Rubes. Meditated, ate organic dark chocolate PB cups, and drank peach camomile Starbucks tea.  ❤️ 

Blessed. :) ❤️ xo

1000 happy days - Day 306

Pajamas at the end of a long day.  By far my favourite moment of the day.  :)

Ha. :)

More fun times with my bruuuuus (and their kids):

And this:

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. 

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

Just so good:

Wedding fun with Mandeep!

1000 happy days - Day 302

Today teaching one of my DRs how to maximize her awesomeness made my day.  And seeing my other DR finish a long-standing issues having comfortably knocked it out of the park is so gratifying.  

I got to see DT, and talk with my SVP, and talk to another director. It felt good.  

I did a decent job of challenging others at one of our daily meetings.

And I came home early enough to get through chapter 1 of the Sedona Method.  Yeah.  I'm awesome. :)

1000 happy days - Day 301

I'm a lucky girl.  I'm trying to live in the moment!  

I got to go to the BGM over the past couple of days.  It's the kind of opportunity that doesn't happen very often.  I met some great young folks and some industry giants!  I'm hoping to learn more and get out to other people who know more and can help us do more.

I had the chance to meet and get to know my CEO and COO.  

We enjoyed dinner yesterday set at the ROM!

Not to mention the food and the gifts and the accommodations.....!  I was spoiled....!  They even had a Cirque du Soleil performance for us!  Incredible.  

I met Tom, Marissa, Gio and Orlando from the US, and Ricardo from the London office (though he is Italian and worked in Paris as well...!).  People from opg included Sara, Lisa, Irena and Dan.  Good times!!! :)

1000 happy days - Day 300

I just think I'm blessed.  

Woke up feeling rested.  An awesome start to any day.  

Watched Fareed Zakariya on CNN with rubes and some chai.  Score.

Made some healthy protein smoothies with Rubes for the week - I'll keep you posted on what's yummiest.

Went to the dinner for the BGM - fancy and fun.  Got to interface with our company's CEO and our CNOO.  Food was great, too. :)  Here's me and one of my besties Sara in front of a fancy ice sculpture:
