You'll notice that I took Pretty much most of July and then all of August off from blogging. There is a reason for everything. My July was spent packing up and saying goodbye to Toronto. I've made the nagging decision to move myself back to Moncton, New Brunswick for a few months in an attempt to save some money and get my life back on track. I feel strongly that now is the time for me to prepare for the next chapter in my life.
For me, 2010 has been a year FULL of tests, trials and tribulations. I know what I'm about to write is conceited in the eyes of most, but I have to say it anyway - I am so damn proud of myself for holding my head as high as I've been holding it throughout this all. :) At the end of the day, if there is one lesson I can teach anyone who may be going through a rough patch in life it's simple: STAY POSITIVE - ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING!!!! Positive people are drawn and attracted to more positive people, just as successful people are drawn to more successful people and so on. Yes, it works the other way around - depressed people love company too... Don't fool yourself into thinking that you deserve a pity party, no matter what you are going through. And that's my rah, rah, rah, cheer for the day. LOL
So what's new? Let's see:
Additional certifications that I've taken upon myself to earn include a "Flirtification" with Flirty Girl Fitness as a Flirty Girl Instructor to teach a class they call Booty Beat as well as a licensed Zumba Instructor.
For the next few months, my schedule looks as follows in terms of the classes I'm teaching:
Mondays, 7:30pm - Booty Beat, St. Pat's Family Center
Tuesdays, 7:30pm - Zumba, Goodlife Fitness
Wednesdays, 6:30pm - Cardio Groove, Goodlife Fitness
Thursdays, 8:15pm - Zumba, YMCA
Saturdays, 10:30am - Zumba, Goodlife Fitness
If you're reading this and are in Moncton, I hope to see you in one of my classes soon!
After little to no luck with the job market this summer in Toronto, I am now back in full swing of job-hunt mode on the East Coast.
I've had a TONN of weddings to attend in the past few months, including one that I was in as a Bridesmaid as well as an Master of Ceremonies and yet another one coming up in October which I am also MCing as a favor to a good friend. I love that there is so much love in my life and in the life of my friends right now! I hope it lasts :)
My tennants of a property that I own have chosen to move on to another place and so I am investing a lot of time and money into renovating this house and preparing to market it for new tennants in the very very near future. It's been fun learning about how to do these renovations and working on my own or with a contractor helping...
Lastly, but certainly not least of all - I went out and got myself a boyfriend. Someone I trust and enjoy, who treats me like gold and I can't wait to spend more time with. Those who know me well know how out in left field this last one is for me. LOL
So in short, I'm dancing a LOT these days and having a blast with that while earning some extra cash for teaching, dumping cash into my investment property, looking for work and trying very hard to make time for a great man. Believe it or not, that really does not leave me with a lot of extra time in my life.
My plan is to get a full time job so I can put some money away and start saving again, work part time teaching in the evenings and get some new tennants living in my house. I'd like to do this before the end of the year so it's been a busy summer but it's going to be an even busier winter for me.
I've got 2 new business ideas that I'm going to start working on and get ready for launch in the new year, I need to study for my GMAT and finally take that damn test so I can pass the results on to grad schools I'm applying to for my MBA, and of course save money to be able to attend in the next year. Whew! What a mouthful!
So now that you all know what's going on with me, please comment and let me know what's going on with you! I'll be sure to keep you all posted on my new venture ideas. It's so important in life to have a TO-DO list at all times. Know what you're doing, know what you want, know what you need in order to succeed and go out and get it! Don't stop growing - when you stop growing, like all living things... you DIE.
Love! xoxo
