Inner-Dragon

We all have an inner-dragon in us. 

It is just about finding the courage to let it out.

There is power.

 "There's power in looking silly and not caring that you do."

-(The wonderful) Amy Poehler.

I can.

I got this mantra from one of my absolute favourite people on the internet, Adriene Mishler (Yoga with Adriene on YouTube).

She shares this mantra in the beginning of RISE Day 7. As I was pushing myself to keep going through the practice, wanting to give up every two minutes, I could Adriene say these words.

I can.

I will.

I choose.

I love.

I thrive.

I create.

I enjoy.

They gave me that energetic lift that I needed to make it through this morning, this day, with a smile on my face and an open mind.

All of us have those days where it seems like life is holding you down and you just cannot get up. This mantra is great for those days, reminding us to keep going, keep trying and stay bright! 

Life is a grand adventure! Take it by the wheel, by the handles (or by whatever sort of transportation you prefer) and go! Choose the path that will bring balance to your heart and you mind. Choose to be happy, friends!

Take care.

Gotta love that sibling love, eh?

Cora-Lee + Family - October 17th, 2015

Finally finished editing the photos from the shoot this past Saturday and I thought that I would share a few more with you all on this beautiful Monday!

(Happy Election Day to all of my fellow Canadians!)

 

 

"It is not what we have in life, but who we have in our life that matters."

Cora-Lee + Family {sneak peak}

Yesterday, I had the most delightful pleasure of capturing photos for Cora-Lee and her family.

It was my first shoot with strangers and I could not have asked for a better group!

They were so friendly, so goofy, they have beautiful dogs (super awesome bonus!), and they shared many of Western Manitoba's hidden treasures with me for future shoots.

These are just a few of my favourites from yesterday.

(more to come!)

Choose.

This morning, I chose to hit the mat at 6am. The sun had not even opened it's eyes by this point but I was ready to start my day strong. I am doing the RISE challenge with Adriene Mishler (Yoga with Adriene on YouTube) and at first I told myself that there is no way I am going to be ready to kick it into high gear at 6 in the morning. 

But this morning, I was determined.

I was determined to choose.

To choose to give my body what it needs.

To choose to strengthen my mind.

To choose to set my soul run wild and free.

To choose to be great.

To choose to be grateful for the body, mind, and soul that God has blessed me with.

To choose to love myself and all others.

To choose.

You have the choice to be great, to be strong, to be happy.

Choose to find what feels good!

Take care, friends!
