A small tid bit of information you can ponder over the wonderful weekend.
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. - Guillaume Apollinaire

Tis The Season
We all embark on life with hopes to be perfect, to be the best we can be and ultimately lead a life we believe will make us happy.
During this season, we feel overwhelming emotional. Come on, don't deny it. Be it happy, sad, angry, content OR it could be all of the above. Christmas is one of those special holidays that brings forth something different from everyone.
For some of us, we are missing a loved one with whom we had a special tradition with. Perhaps there has been a new little one welcomed into the family tradition, perhaps it is an announcement of an upcoming arrival of a little bundle of joy. Maybe it is simply because we get to be around family. Either way, there are so many ranges of emotions during this season, it is difficult to find a balance.
Something I suggest is keeping a journal. Should you feel overwhelmed, grab your pad of paper or in this day and age... an iPad, quickly scribble (pr type) what you are feeling at that moment and what made you feel that way. Good, now it is gone. Walk away for about an hour, think no more of it.
Return after about one hours time, or even the next day. Break down the feeling. What really made you feel that way, what is the underlying 'issue' or 'pleasantry' is. If this is sad or anger being displayed this can truly uncover ideals that you never previously thought about. If this is pleasantry, where you are happy and/or excited you may discover ways in life how to continually make yourself feel this way in any situation.
Certainly, above all things this Christmas, forgive those who have hurt you, love those who have stuck beside you, and hate no one as it is detrimental to all. Jack Layton put it best when he wrote, "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." I suggest we all take some extra time to think about this during the holiday season.
Wishing you all the very best the remainder of 2011 and even more in the New Year of 2012. Ring it in with love, happiness, laughter and many, many dreams.
As a post script, I would like to take a moment to thank all of my friends and family who have stood strongly by my side this year. Typically, I feel as I am the strong one and this year, I did not have that much in me, it was my turn to be weak. Without each and every one of them, I would not be in the happy spot I am. My husband has been absolutely outstanding, words could never describe. Their presence makes my world a happy one and I simply love that they are part of my world. I definitely had sad days, but always remembered, I love life better when I am smiling. :)

After many months!
Well all my followers, it has been months! Over those months many things have transpired.
As some or all of you know, I run a little photography business from home (tayjophotography.ca), and that has been consuming my life non-stop over the past while. My apologies for slacking on this blog.
Today I would really like to express the importance of happiness. I am not entirely sure how to portray this exactly, but I can tell you, when you find happiness, life is bliss. We have our moments of 'happy' but how do we make it continuous? How can it be a constant in our lives? How have I been doing it?
I speak from personal experience and remember, I am in no way a certified counselor, I am plain Jane and have been through a thing or two. So remember, these are things I just do, it doesn't mean it works for everyone.
One thing I decided, is to turf jealousy. How did I do that? I would take what I was being jealous about and wondered, how can I be happy for that person instead and really what is it I am jealous about. Take that and work with it.
One of the big things people do not do is to stop and read into why they have the feelings they do. Why do you choose to be angry, upset, or what have you, instead of choosing happiness????
More at a later date :)

I have no title for today....
Again, a month since my last post. So much for every day postings.
I've been quite busy this past month with many things, especially my photography business. Here is hoping I can find a balance to post more frequently over the summer.
Today I want to talk about support systems in your life.
A support system is comprised of perhaps your best friends, your family, maybe even your dog or cat. Most of all I find, the biggest support system of my life to be my husband. Not only is he my very best friend in the whole entire world, he is also my family and the love of my life. He holds me when I need to cry and some how when I'm down he always manages to make me smile or laugh. I'm still not sure after our 10 year relationship and 4 years of marriage how he does it. The man is like a magician. Most of all, he is just "there".
What a lot of people who are "support systems" don't understand is that they don't always have to say anything. For some reason these people think they need to find something to say or counter your statements. Really, sometimes we just need someone to listen and hug us when we are done crying, venting, freaking or what have you. If you are reading from a support system point of view, know that it is OK to say nothing at times.
I have the opinion that if you are someone who is headed to lean on your support system, you might also want to make it clear what exactly you are looking for at that point in time (advice, an ear to listen, a hug, a laugh, etc) this helps both yourself as well as your support system to get the most out of your interaction during that time. Of course, this is always easier said than done however, it is possible.
In addition, I believe you should tell your support systems as well as those around you, how much you love them, as well as how important they are to you. Perhaps how thankful you are to have them in your life. This makes you feel good by putting it out there and the people you are speaking to also know that they are appreciated.
That is my food for thought today.
I hope all the Canadians had a wonderful long weekend! Happy Canada Day!
To those Americans that follow this blog, enjoy your long weekend! Here is to Independence Day!

Something different
So it has been a few days and initially I was going to talk about acceptance but I'm going to keep that for another day. Today I want to talk about the importance of friendships.
We all have that best friend we hope to never, ever fight with yet we know it is going to happen some day. Today was that day.
There is zero need for background, only that I really felt something had to be said and I feel that it may have been too harsh and I really didn't use the right words. I'm a very outspoken person, not to mention direct, but sometimes forgetting that if you say something slightly different, it creates a different meaning.
I really thought she was going to hate me but I really felt like... the good and best friends are the ones that step up and take a risk in saying something that they even know might hurt the relationship or friendship. SO I took the risk.
It was of course heated for a while, I know she doesn't hate me but gosh I wish I could have found better words today. I'm not sure it would have made a difference, frankly I can't dwell on it. I made sure she knew that I would always be her friend and support her. But for those 20 minutes on the train on the way home from work today, my heart continually kept sinking. I reached the entrance to my apartment building and broke down when I heard the birds chirping. See last night we walked for nearly 2 hours and had this conversation that was something two best friends should have and all I could think about was how awesome that was and how sad I was that I hurt her because I took that risk.
I took 5 minutes outside and just cried and really hoped I hadn't royally screwed up our amazing friendship. You see I only fully opened up to her just months ago and she had been trying to break through to me for years but I was a closed shell. Over the past few months we have gone from "friends", to "best friend" to "family" in such a short time.
I have no doubt she is still peeved at me but for now, she is still talking so I'm going to take that as a good sign and go on.
One of my favorite quotes (and yes, I know its twisted), " A real friend knows that it is not a true friendship until you have had your first fight".
So my gorgeous, wonderful friend, who I know keeps tabs on this blog. I love you forever and I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.
XOXO,
S.

Think first
I always hear about girls tanning... gotta get that base tan. Have to look good.
I'm a pale skin, yup that is right, I'm pasty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. I won't lie, I have hit the tanning bed a few times in my life but after having my grandparent diagnosed with skin cancer (which thankfully was caught very soon and non-invasive treatment was used). I thought, is it really worth it. I've decided I would rather be pasty all year round and slather the SPF on my body than risk caner and months of radiation/chemo and surgeries.
With that, I encourage you to check out this video. It sure hit me.
Love your body, with all you have because you only get one shot.

How Important it is to Know Yourself
A friend shared this on her Facebook just this morning. I had to share it here.
I'm a pasty girl who has never been able to tan and frankly, I gave up. I always say, pasty is the new tan. Now I'm glad I gave up the tanning beds long, long ago. I might have saved myself.
Check this out.

BIG TOPIC - Social Networking ... how does it affect you?!
I'm going to keep this post simple as it is more about making you aware of how the social network systems (Facebook, Nexopia, Myspace, Twitter) may be affecting your outlook on life.
For those on Facebook you may notice a lot of negative status updates, when you read that, how does it make you feel. Do you starting thinking or feeling angry, annoyed, frustrated? Do you laugh? Do you shake your head? Do you notice once you move on from that update, your mind is still thinking about it? In essence does your mood change after reading those types of status updates?
I realize this may seem trivial but it really is not. Pay attention to next time your on your social network site how you feel after you step away.
Now you ask, soooooo what can I do about it? You have options, let me tell you that, you have options! I've experienced this myself, so first my status was, "if you are going to be a Negative Nelly, I will be removing you from my friends list." Did it work? I can't say 100% it did but because I decided not to pay attention to those people, I either a) didn't notice because I chose not to read negative comments, b) I removed them from my friends list, c) the individual took note of whether they were being a "Negative Nelly" and changed their attitude.
In short, take time to analyze how this type of media is preventing you from being happy and make changes if it is affecting you!!!
Don't Worry! Be Happy!

Can spirituality increase happiness?!
The title of today's blog really says it all. I decided to write on this today after reviewing this website:
http://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/articles/id/spiritualresearch/spiritualscience/spirituallevel_saints/index.php
The definition of spirituality can be defined as :
an ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality;[1] an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of their being; or the “deepest values and meanings by which people live.”[2] Spiritual practices, including meditation, prayer and contemplation, are intended to develop an individual's inner life; such practices are alleged to lead to an experience of connectedness with a larger reality, yielding a more comprehensive self; with other individuals or the human community; with nature or the cosmos; or with the divine realm.[3] For some, spirituality is experienced as a source of inspiration or orientation in life.[4] It can encompass belief in immaterial realities or experiences of the immanent or transcendent nature of the world.
Personally, I don't view spirituality necessarily as "God" or going to church every Sunday (depending on your beliefs, it may be another day of the week). For me it is more about being in tune with yourself and as noted above, your deepest values and meanings.
Spirituality for me alone makes me feel empowered and motivated, it is like a fire burning inside telling me to grab the bull by the horns and take life for a ride. This is the feeling all of us should embrace and go forward with. By achieving spirituality and moving forward we can only become more content and satisfied in life, right?! I would hope so!!!! Of course this doesn't mean go rob a bank because you suddenly feel empowered,what this means is if you have a dream, go for it!
So jump off your computer and learn how to become "in tune" with yourself, your spirituality and feel free. Stop being materialistic and learn about the "things" in life that really mean something more than having that awesome "coach bag", or the expensive make up. I'm a strong believer (speaking from experience here) that the more materialistic "items" we have, the less happy we become because our lives suddenly become cluttered with "things" and we suddenly feel like we must always be working to "keep up with the Jones' ". In an attempt to become less materialistic, I keep what I call a "Value Village bin" in my home. Nearly every day, I find one item, I toss in there. My home is now less cluttered with "things" and more cluttered with love, hope and faith and I'm smiling more. I'm finding less items = more freedom to breathe and think rather than being "attached" to the newest novelty in my home.
Be happy, be healthy and be you! Become inspired, empowered..... go ahead and Live, Laugh, Love and Dream!

Happiness & Exercise!
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude" - William James -
Attitude in today's world can make a huge difference in how you perceive everything around you! So how can we change our attitudes to create happiness in our lives.
There are many studies that prove exercise can in fact act as an anti-depressant.
A research study at Duke University found that a 30-minute brisk walk or jog 3 times a week worked as well as antidepressant drugs in beating depression.
We all make the excuses of not having enough time to get out for a walk or hit the gym. Would you make enough time if you discovered how much happier you could be, how much easier it would be to smile every day without even having to try, I bet you would. Instead of hitting the couch first when you get home, change your clothes and hit the sidewalk or gym, don't give yourself that extra 5 minutes... JUST DO IT!
I would be interested in to see how many of you make a dedication to work out three times over the next week and report back how your attitude changed, how did you feel?!
I absolutely love the refreshed feeling after a work out, I feel inspired and empowered! I am motivated. I feel great about my body, sure I have a few extra inches according to "society" but heck, it makes me who I am! Embrace yourself, love yourself for who you are and how you look, simply put, it is what makes YOU, YOU!
Be confident, be proud! Get out there and show it! You deserve to smile effortlessly! Dust of your gym shoes and give yourself, your body and your mind a workout! Find happiness!!!!!
Until tomorrow!!!! TOODLES!

How does this all work?!
Let's keep this first post short and simple until I figure out how this all works on here.
I've never blogged before and in fact have never planned to. I follow a couple of people who blog about different things such as photography or psychology, and even random crazy things I come across (which I might add are absolutely insane sometimes). Just last night I got to thinking, what if this helped, what if people read my blog, what if I had a blog that only posted inspiring and encouraging quotes or comments. I'm not sure I will get many followers, but I sure am going to try.
Too many of us are getting stuck in "life traps", we make sacrifices for others that we wouldn't make for ourselves, we have some how learned that the word "No" is not an option (at least not until we are absolutely exhausted and worn out). The lists go on. I hope to touch base on many of these topics and reference studies and books in hopes to help out those who feel like there is no one else because I know, sometimes, I feel like I've been tossed in a pitch dark room and left to be wandering aimlessly until I find the light.
Without light, it is hard to clearly see your goals, your dreams and your passions. So I'm hoping you will follow and let me be your dim light. You are the one that is going to make the light shine, I'm just going to start it for you........

I hope to touch base on many of these topics and reference studies and books in hopes to help out those who feel like there is no one else because I know, sometimes, I feel like I've been tossed in a pitch dark room and left to be wandering aimlessly until I find the light.
Without light, it is hard to clearly see your goals, your dreams and your passions. So I'm hoping you will follow and let me be your dim light. You are the one that is going to make the light shine, I'm just going to start it for you........
