Day 12, 13 and 14 (My weekend)
So on Friday morning I got terribly sick! Couldn't move a muscle in my body and laid on my couch the entire day.
Saturday was pretty much the same thing aha and now it's Sunday and although I forced myself to go to work today, I am now back in bed at 6:30 about to pass out any minute due to exhaustion Lol. I really hope my bod starts feeling stronger soon because I'm falling behind on my marathon training aha.
As for my daily progress... it's been honestly great. Every time I feel vulnerable or distracted by life's stupid issues, I just perform (well sing as I haven't been able to move much aha) and everything is eventually ok :)
I heard a really great quote today that I'm going to share with you... "Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice." -Wayne Dyer
Everything is a choice. Success, happiness, finding love in yourself, who you love, forgiveness, your lifestyle, your goals, and your dreams. You choose your destiny.
We only have one life to live folks. Is fighting with someone or choosing to have anger towards someone really worth your time? Especially if you care about them.
You never know who might not be here with you tomorrow. Cherish all. Be grateful for the time you have together for who knows how long it will last.

Day 8, 9, 10, 11 ( my week)
WOW soooo busy this week. aha
LOTs of excitement going on at the Waldorf Astoria... :D
Heres a lil recap:
Monday: Filmed a lot of Mary episodes. If you don't know what Mary is SHAME ON YOU and please view belowwww
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOAvd_tP2X4&feature=channel_video_title
After that I went door knocking with my favourite girl "shortie" and you would be surprised at the amount of people who were willing to give us donations for our charity.
A total of one.
THEN I went back to Stu's house and found myself recording a song that will be posted veryyy soon! Excited about that.
Tuesday: 5am shift, School started, had my first class nap, then I went home. BUT THEn I went to this fabulous place called the Ballroom located right behind much music that has an open mic night every Tuesday with a live band!! So of course I found myself singing Sweet child of mine... again. Fun times
Wed: TWO 3 hour classes. One consisted of a long chat about feminism and if a women who is racist and homophobic can actually be a feminist... haha well obviously that women would be a little hypocritical but really who really cares if she crazily thinks she is?!
Napped in the second class.
Thurs: Started off with an early rise of 6 am to rush and get to class for 8am only for the professor to not even show up. So now I'm at home with a whole day to myself with an open schedule that I never thought I would have.
Oh the many productive things to do...
EXCITING things in the works! Such as the TIFF festival! I have found myself working at the festival this year! Should be fun. I should really look at who will be there and prepare to get my flirt on.
Also working on a new youtube account! A Diary of my life in fact but on tape. Inspired by the youtuber community channel. If you've never watched her vids then I urge you to check them out. Link BELOW

As for news on my progress, I'm doing AMAZINGLY. I'm finding I'm having a lot of fun on my own now.
I should monitor that... I forgot Hermits run in my family. aha

NEW Challenge.
Taking out the words "I'm Not" out of my vocabulary. Every time I go to say I'm not I'm going to replace it with "I AM". Any one who catches me saying I'm not I will donate five dollars to a local cause of your choice. Every time I say it.
"Be the Change you wish to see in the world"

30 day Challenge - Day 7
Hey guys!
Ok so I've been trying to make it my habit that every time I start to loose focus or dwell on a situation or immediate problem I'm having, I first go for a walk to clear my head, but then I watch the movie The Secret. Now if you have never watched the movie the secret then I suggest you GO NOW and watch it aha. The secret teaches you about what is called The Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction basically states that whatever you put out into the universe, positive or negative thoughts, you get it right back and these thoughts determine your future. Seems pretty simple to understand and a lot of us have been taught this growing up from our parents, but most of us do not take it as seriously as we should if we expect to get the things and dreams we desire. Some of us, like me for example, did not understand the power of my thoughts until I watched this movie. I did not understand how important it is to feel good about what I want. Like with these 30 day journals I started. I stated what I wanted in the beginning, I stated that I want to find happiness within myself. Even though I am in control to how fast this happens to me, blogging about when I was sad and what I have previously gone through, brought back those sad bad feelings, (as I talked about them) and therefore making me not in line with what I want.
It is important to not write about the things I do not want and give my undivided attention to the things I do want. If I am putting out negative thoughts (talking about them, writing about them etc) then I am just reenforcing more of those feelings into my life. So I will no longer write about what it is I'm struggling with. No matter what kind of day I'm having during this process, I am only going to talk about the great things that are happening to me and what I am grateful for. For the remainder of these 30 day journals I'm going to write about what I do want and how each day I'm getting closer and closer to them. I'm going to start painting a picture of my perfect life, perfect friendships and relationships and I'm going to start feeling good about it and acting as if I already have them.
So I leave with this question, What would your perfect life look like?
"You can change your life and you can heal yourself".
"Your the only one who creates your reality". - The Secret

Day 5 +6
Yesterday was an awesome day. I had a very important interview that really helped my career take off and I'm extremely excited to see what's coming next!!!
Nothing much to add today as because my day was so productive, I was left feeling so satisfied aha.
I ended up hanging out with Shawn Desman and Danny Fernandes at 6 degrees last night with a few of my girlfriends and fell madly in love with Danny <3 I can't believe how gorge he is. Male singers are the SEXIEST!!!!
Today I'm suffering with a nice hangover but it was so worth it ahaha. <3

Day 4
I just almost lost focus today. For a second I almost let myself join the pity party but then...I snapped out of it!!! Simple things suddenly make sense to me today. You know I'm one of those people who will just never be happy in life if I don't reach my goals and dreams? It's just who I am and I've known for a while what I have to do to get them but never did it click like it did tonight.
You know I've never been happy in a relationship? ahaaha I'm always unhappy!!!! But not because they aren't good enough but because I'm not happy with myself.
Gotta be happy with yourself before you can ever be happy with someone else.
How many people have told me that and I'm only understanding it NOW lol
I will never be happy till I reach my dreams. So heres to no more bullshit and excuses and a long relationship with my career!!
Until the day I succeed...
Been practising this song all day. The lyrics funny enough don't entirely relate but sort of do in a small small way lol
xo
Amanda Marshall - Birmingham
"Virgil Spencer's got a nineteen-inch Hitachi
And many demons lingering
Friday night he pulled a gun to change the channel
Something that he picked up from the King
His wife remembers well the man she knew
Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue
She's wasted years
No time for tears
Cause there's another chance and a someday soon
Shining like the Alabama moon
She's looking for her promised land
Out beyond the lights of
Birmingham"
