Get up, put on your shoes and go outside. Hit the pavemet. Feel the sunshine. Soak it up. Let your mind wander. Sing. Smile at strangers. Breathe, let go. Be productive. Work hard. Drink water. Give thanks. Be positive. Relax. Rinse, repeat.
This is what I call productivity, Ultrabook, Macbook, iPhone, coffee. Huzzahhh!
Having my hair done this afternoon then heading to a talk for 6pm.
Good morning from the Toronto Beaches. I stayed at Jenie’s place last night and its amazingly quiet and peaceful. Reminds me of this big old house I lived in on the Danforth. Caught an awesome doc yesterday, soaked up some sunshine.
The power is out here right now. Heading home hopefully before my phone dies!
Looks like we’re gonna get some nice sun this week. Today is last day for tickets to Toronto Fashion Incubator 25th anniversary on Thursday. Tickets here.
Went for a run this afternoon after getting inspired a post by titled ‘Women, Fitness & The Myth‘ written by by Bangs & a Bun. She’s one of my fav writers and my fav UK blogger. I’ve been followung her for years and seeing her progress in business, blogging and fitness is motivating. Her latest venture Spikes & Heels is what got me to put on my shoes and kick some pavement. I’m so glad I did!
It’s an incredibly beautiful day in the city. Took this using 360 Panoramic app in iPhone from hTO Park (Urban Beach) which is right beside the lake.
If you stand on this one certain rock you can perfectly hide the CN Tower.
Empire Sandy, looking dandy. I’d love to go on a sail for my birthday. A sail for let’s say, 30 people? 30th birthday. Does anyone know who can make this happen? It would be magical.
Somebody was backed up at Lower Spadina.
Shadow play
Toronto Music Garden is one of my most favourite places in the city. This tower has a beautiful story, if you go there you’ll see it. One time Keri and I did this MEGA Planking thing for ‘World Plank Day‘ in 2011 when it was cool for like a week. Most of them were done in the music garden, see here.
It’s almost Earth hur for Earth Day and I’m planning to be out of the house. Have a great night!
Went for a cruise on Queen Street and biked through the park. Have an hour before my next work related call so I skipped down to the urban beach downtown Toronto to soak up some sunshine. It’s beautiful out. I’m so happy it’s not chilly anymore. There are so many people out, smiling, biking, walking etc. I didn’t do this enough last summer so I’m determined to make the very most of each day this year. One day I’ll be working in an office again and probably won’t be able to max out mid day like this, which is cool, but until then, company mandate to get as much vitamin D as possible.
Its lovely outside today but tonight we’re getting a snow storm and winter will be back here.. I’m made the most of a beautiful day by biking on a Bixi downtown. Weeeee!
