Happily Estranged

As I work hard towards my deadline, I’ve realized more and more how dedication, smartwork and focus is vital in completing anything. Smart work you say. Well yes, there is a difference between smart work and hard work. To break it down a bit for you smart work is a small amount of time of hard work that will get you farther and rewarded for a great period of time. 

An example you ask? Well right…

ATTENTION PLEASE !! I have recently partnered with my biz bestie to launch an online newspaper that spreads only a positive word and goes against all the negative stories in the world today. We want to impact the world in bringing back balance and restoring faith in humanity. The goal is to create the most well known multimedia site online including a podcast. As for right now we are starting a…

“What’s in the candy bar of you-what are the ingredients, in what proportions? What is it called?”

Dark chocolate because it’s healthy. Cranberries because they’re my favorite. Assortment of nuts.

I will call it Cran-NUT

“The time you won something”

Actually just recently my other half and I had won the grand prize at his works Christmas party. It was simply amazing. Thomas knew we were going to win because I kept wanting to leave. “No No” he’d say “We have to stay till the last prize is drawn”.

It was crazy. We won the biggest prize that could be won! WOOHOO

“That time you met one of your biggest childhood heroes.”

I think it was barney. He was in a costume and I do not really remember much of it as I was very young. There are lots of pictures though.

“The time a person you thought you knew well stole from you”

I am not sure that this has ever happened. If it has I would say this to them… I trusted you and I hope whatever you have taken from me was worth more than our friendship to you. I am sorry that you felt you had to steal but maybe you can learn from this and ask next time.

Stuff is worthless to me.

“Now write about why you would not have chosen your parents”

If I had not chosen my parents then a higher being would have. I am not quite sure how to answer this. I do not believe that this is even possible.

“Some believe we choose our parents. Write about why you would have chosen yours.”

I chose my parents so that I could learn the hardships in life but still understand that by living a life of negative you can still have everything you need and more. I needed to learn the lessons of patience, kindness and forgiveness. I needed to understand the negative in its core before I could reap the benefits…

“Recount the first time you spent the night in a tree fort (or other proudly-devised shelter).” 

The first time that I remember spending a night in a fort was when I was ten or eleven. My friend and I had made a fort over top of her trampoline in the back yard. We made a big enough hole in the roof so that we could stare at what little stars were in the sky. I don’t remember sleeping that night…

“The time you were jealous of your old best friend’s new best friend”

This isn’t exactly answering the question asked but it’s the jist of it. Growing up there was always 3 of us. Magda, Kayla and I. Three is a crowd … so as naturally as it is someone had to get ditched. I was always that person. We are all still friends to this day sometimes one of us gets ditched more often then others.

Honestl…

“Whats the worst idea that seemed like a good idea at the time?”

This is not a story about me, this is a story of one of my best cousins. When we were young we used to imagine we were power rangers!! Go Go Power Rangers! Anyways… My cousin had come to visit with her family and she brought a kids pop up tent that at the time had fit right in my closet. I remember sitting in it and we were talking…

“The last time you wet your bed (or a similar embarrassing involuntary act).”

I have two stories to tell you

The only time I have been aware of peeing the bed was when I was at my Grandma and Grandpa’s house one year during Christmas break. I remember this because I was mad at my Grandma. Asking me what I was mad about is a question that I cannot answer. I do not remember. What I do remember is…

“Be your own psychic. Write a snapshot of your future.”

Okay so in my terms this would be my ‘perfect day’ as Brian Swan would say.

My future holds lots of love, family and an abundance of all the wonderful things we have on this planet. Travel, Shelter, Water, Friends, Family, Materials. You name it I’ve probably have it.

I will be married and have 3 or 4 of my own children as well as adopt one.

“The day you admitted to yourself that you did not love your siblings equally”

I disagree, you’re love should be spread equally throughout the world. It doesn’t matter who it is if you choose to love them it should always be the same amount.

Now on HOW you love them is a completely different thing. I would never love my husband the same way I would love my brother. I definitely wouldn’t love my…

“Tell the tale about a day that would never end.”

I am going to say this, instead of a day that would never end I will write about a day that I didn’t want to ever end. That was when I finally met my first born. I was recovering from my c- section. I remember Holding him and just staring at him with my wide eyes…. Not really sure how I even did it after being awake for almost 49 hours straight.…

“Write a secret message that only one other person will understand. Explain how it came to be.”

The full moon is tonight and I can’t imagine what’s going on with you right now.

One night we started talking about some feelings we had and it came out to be that we almost think of the world that we live in the exact same way. It was comforting knowing that I am not the only one.

“If you had siblings, did you fight with them, and over what?”

Yes I do have a younger brother that I grew up with, my older step brother younger step sister and my two youngest half sisters.

Growing up my younger brother and I used to get into fights all of the time. It usually started with the remote for the TV. I would have control of it and have the remote in front of me or on the side table.…
