Where oh where to start.....
Life has been keeping me very busy.. and photography has been at an all time high. I thought summer time was going to be rather slow, boy was I wrong, when I don't have my daughter, and she is spending her time with my Ex, I'm out and about either taking pictures or riding on a motorcycle or doing both at the same time... Thank god i have a harness now for my camera.. For those that are new to my blog here on this site, I actually have another blog that was way before this website was created.It was here where the name of "inspired by Adele" first began. As the very first posting was about the birth of my daughter!
http://inspiredbyadele.blogspot.com/ You can find many other interesting facts about me, my life, as well as more artwork..... like how I made sculptures at one time.. REALLY.. Enjoy reading more about me and my life experiences. I have the privilege of being showcased at Starbucks on Government and Yates Street in Victoria BC.
Last night we hung all the canvases up, and already many positive reviews were being heard!!! I had the priviledge to go to Vancouver with Alex, and see a master at work, David Cross. It was a fantastic semniar, and thrilling and funny to watch. It was a full house, and a lot of OOHHHHsss and AAAAHHHHsss, and as well as "your f'en kidding me" Prestins - Reastaurant in Hotel We stayed in a great hotel - Coast Coal Harbor Hotel... HIGHLY recommend staying, amazing hospitality, very helpful service... it was close to everything, walking distance to the water and to Canada Place. Our Course was in a HUGE ballroom, large screens and we had perfect seating.. After a couple of sessions it was lunchtime, we headed outside and as like many other folks, grabbed our lunch and sat outside and enjoyed the sun. As we were enjoying out wonderful meal, I saw our instructor, and well I just couldn't resist!!! and I just have to say.... OMG I look like my mother in this picture!!!!! Alex thought I was crazy, but she joined in the fun too It was an amazing learning experience and my brain was literally infested with knowledge that has already come in handy!.
Two charities in two days..
The company that I work for does this Big Bike ride annually.. This is my 5 year that i have participated in this event. We always have a great time! Good laughs and if your short like me, you sit in the back, and you don't have to peddle, and when you do peddle, your little legs can't keep up.. so you enjoy the ride and the view. I made this collage for my co-workers and it's placed on the wall so everyone can see. I work with a good group of people, and it shows! Why did we do this walk, because Don's nephew Keegan has this disease... so what is CF.....
Cystic Fibrosis Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common, fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. There is NO CURE for cystic fibrosis. CF is a multi-organ disease, primarily affecting the lungs and digestive system. A build-up of thick mucus in the lungs causes severe breathing problems. It may be difficult to clear bacteria from the lungs, leading to cycles of infection and inflammation, which damage the delicate lung tissues. Thick mucus also blocks the ducts of the pancreas, preventing enzymes from reaching the intestines to digest food. People with CF must consume a large amount of artificial enzymes (average 20 pills a day) with every meal and snack, to help digest and absorb adequate nutrition from food. If you want to learn even more about CF, visit their website I love my daughter, and many of you know that ... but there are the weekends where I could just hide underneath my bed... this weekend was one of them.
Being a single mom is NOT easy... You are the male and female voice, you are the discipline and the comfort. My Ex just doesn't get it, doesn't get that he has someone else to help when Adele has her uhm moments. Myself I don't have that luxury, even when I need to put myself on a time-out.. I can't... Adele is a VERY independent little girl... strong willed, and stubborn... HMMMM sounds familiar who else is like that... OH YEAH ME... so can you say "clash of the titans" when we butt heads.. and SHE is only two and a half.. I don't care what anyone says.. THEY know how to bring you down to your knees!!!! She is testing boundaries, and she is becoming more and more aware of who she is, I love to watch her grow into who she might become.... but she is so intelligent... even for her age... Ok there a small vent session... this session was brought to you by "getting off the pitty pot" and "Zoloft..making people happy for years now" What an EPIC weekend at the rodeo I had. I took over 3000 photos this weekend. I'm still going threw them all. It was just fantastic. My friend Megan and I had a HOOT... The Dance was Epic and the Band Double R Barr was incredible. It's been such a along time since I two-stepped with a country boy! And well this is just too cute NOT to share...
I'm taking a leap and trying out a new way of blogging
I'm really excited, and can showcase my work at the same time!! |
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
