Someone once told me, have you ever seen a motorcycle in front of a therapist office??
Not a lot of people know what has occurred to me in the past three years, and the loss that I have gone threw, but the day that I was finally able to ride a motorcycle sent feelings of freedom and total relaxation. I ride because I enjoy the sense of freedom that a motorcycle gives, your vulnerable, your at the mercy of the elements, you have to relax yet be aware of your surroundings. Your alone with your thoughts. I have solved world peace so many times I've stopped counting. It's funny no matter what even when riding in a group, you are surrounded by fellow riders, who all understand the peace and tranquility of riding, but you are still alone when you ride. I love it, it is my therapy, my release from this world, from my reality of life.

Ok so I have started back up in yoga now.. oh boy! So much work again at least I have 30 weeks to go!!!
I have started to notice my energy level increasing, and I have lost 6lb now. Jeans are starting to fit better, and I notice my sleeping pattern is shifting...So far so good.. knock on wood! I'm also back into reading about running again and will post my favorite places to go soon. I'm still pretty excited about this journey I'm partaking in. Well I have decided to get my ass off the couch and do the Victoria Half Marathon again this year! I have officially started to train as of yesterday, so I am taking bab-ysteps current goal is to run the TC 10k in the first week of May, and then proceed to my final goal. I'm excited and nervous, but I know I can do it. I did it before a couple of years ago, I can do it again. I have tonnes of support this time around!
Baby steps! Here is my blue unicorn that I named Bob!
He is for my friend Mily, which in turn she will be giving to her nephew! I'm really happy with the outcome. He has his own personality to boot! Victoria is one of Canada's hidden treasures. We live on an island, we rarely get winter here, but when we do, it actually will shut the city down, and yesterday was one of those "Surprises" when I woke up in the morning.
So I have been very ill for the past few days, I caught what my daughter had, and omg that little girl is my hero. This is brutal..the coughing, the pain, the pain is unbelievable... I want this over and done with!
well on BC ferry right now.. and love it.. they have wifi.. this rocks.. not going to lie
I'm also very tired. I have been up since 230am .. Adele was pretty sick, so I can feel the adrenaline of this day wearing down. sleepy.. I think I might try and catch some ZZZZ's on this ferry ride.. wish they had couches on this thing, but then again there would be a made dash to get to lay down! WOO HOO I'm off to the Vancouver Boat show tonight. I'm really excited, get to go on a ferry ride and learn Vancouver's transit system. I love my job!
So what can one say it was a Monday.. and I survived it!
New projects to do, I'm pushing myself to learn more illustrator and playing with the perspective tool in CS5. I don't get to spend all that much time working in illustrator so I'm rather enjoying this time learning. I've been using lynda.com as a teaching tool. Really impressed with this website. It's a nice way to refresh and clean the cobwebs out of the brain as well learn some really cool features from a piece of software that I have been using for years! Kudo's to this site. After work, was a immediate rush home, and into my chaps and riding gear and time for my therapy session with me and my two wheel ride! How I love riding my motorcycle. I love the sound she makes when I take off.. so loud and the rumble gives me goose bumps! It's hard to believe that my little girl is three and a half. Today we went to the museum here in Victoria (Royal British Columbia Museum). She is just so smart.. sometimes i don't really know how smart she truly is until we go to the museum. She always blows me away with her questions, and there are times i just have no answers for her. How she can articulate words that I can't even pronounce. She loves the museum, so knows exactly where everything is in that place. There is the regular museum tour, and there is the crib-notes Adele tour.
Today she insisted on wearing her purple dress that Grandma Primeau bought her. It was the most cutest thing to watch her walk up the stairs. She hiked up her dress and marched right up the stairs.. I did everything possible to not laugh... |
GenevieveI'm a single tattooed, motorcycle riding mom, trying to make sense of this place called earth. I have had my ups and downs. I have found peace with my photography ,crocheting and riding my motorcycle. The love of my life is my daughter Adele, who is my inspiration for everything that I do now. Archives
