Meeting Julie Lebel

Yesterday, Azarie and I went for a walk in our neighborhood and passed by the cultural center in our area. There we met Julie Lebel, a choreographer based in Vancouver. She invited me for a few stretches and told me briefly about the free sessions she facilitates in the place. I feel so awkward doing the stretches because I have never done any yoga. But it was kind of fun especially with Azarie joining us on the floor, too. I hope we can regularly join them because I think she does it with moms and their babies/toddlers. It will be good a way to be fit and socialize at the same time. After we come back from the Philippines, we will surely join them again ;)

Just Two Questions

Achieving dreams can be overwhelming. So today I thought of 2 simple questions to help me as a guide to make my dreams come true. Here goes:

1. What is your dream?
2. What have you done today to bring you closer to your dream?

Simple, right? I definitely think so!

Now to answer those 2 questions, I have to categorize them into physical, mental, social, professional, and financial. Why? Because I have many dreams ;)

For the physical: I want to be healthy and fit. I ate weetbix for breakfast with 2% milk and had mocha with no sugar added. And later I will go for a 45 min walk. I already did a 30 min walk the other day.

For the mental: I want to be knowledgeable regarding different subjects. I want to learn to speak French. So what I am doing is I read blogs throughout the day. They inspire me and they always let me learn something new. I will have a French online dictionary and learn at least one French word everyday and use it in a sentence.

For the social: I want to have more friends. I started by writing emails to people on my facebook and just saying hello. I will definitely join meet up groups. And when I will be in the Philippines, I will contact old friends to hang out with.

For the professional: I want to pass the CAOT exam on November 2013. I was gonna take the one on July but I will be going to the Philippines for 5 weeks and I know my study is not enough for me to pass the July exam. But I will still read OT related subjects everyday for at least an hour. I will join OT volunteer groups.

For the financial: I want to earn enough income so we can buy a farm in the Philippines. I am saving by buying clothes in thrift stores. I will save 10% of our income every month. I will stick to a budget.

So there you go, little steps taken daily will make a difference.

I like this house at the moment. A pic for inspiration :)

May God be glorified!
