backwards blogging – photos in reverse… home from hot tub & feeling better. super sunny outside. windows need a cleaning outside. elevator bright lights welcome to the mail room, there’s nothing here for you these asian dudes were dancing in the hot tub and listening to music. i went there to relax and have a break from work and feel better. i had the whole big heated bubble hot tub to myself then one came over and started talking to me. he was nice and i am usually quite chatty but was not having it this time. all i wanted was some piece and quiet. alone time. it is very lovely in my hot tub lounge. the view is spectacular and it’s usually quite relaxing. i like to go there when it’s really cold out and stare out the window with the sun on my face while i heat up in the tub. it’s like a mini vacation without leaving the house. decided to take a dip in the hot tub, thought it might make me feel better. rode the elevator with some painters. they were talking fast in some european language mixed with english.

I received this email over the weekend: Hey Casie, I have no idea what searchwords let me stumble onto your page and blog …. but I wanted to send you a quick “thank you” for sharing your life. I found your page by pure chance, but once I started reading a bit, your positive outlook on life got me hooked. I find that highly inspirational! Maybe one day (if you ever travel the not so exotic Europe – or even boring Germany) – we’ll meet and I can thank you in person. Take care and keep that positive vibe. It’s little things like this email that really make me proud of what I do, what I’m doing. I’ve worked hard to get here and will continue working hard to make all my dreams come true.  This one time last year I got an email from international best selling author Neil Pasricha of “The Book of Awesome” and he thanked me for having “the largest collection of awesome related photos on the internet”. To me, this means I’m doing what I set out to do. There’s so much negativity in the world around us and by blogging each and every single day, I hope to make the world a happier place. It also helps me see joy in little things and appreciate all I have. It also helps me remember. Hope you’re doing something today that brings you closer to your dreams, and if you’re not, there’s still time to change that.

welcome to trinity bellwoods park. it’s a hip spot queen west if you don’t know already. cruised into the park with Sheldon and Jessica ready to’boggan some hill it was dark by the time we arrived at the bowl. same place i do to drum circle in the summer. there’s a video of me going down the hill screaming somewhere. haha. it was chilly but we can handle it. we’re cool. ladies Madeline & Kelly as you can see my photos are blue tinty and blurry. i like it like that ok. borderline artistic. ice rink, CN tower, snow = oh so canadian. ice cold. we were dancing to chromeo in the snow to keep warm (oh so hipster), stomping the snowy path making it easier to walk on. that’s why we called it a public service… this is the announcement. happy weekend 🙂

Jenie stayed over last night and I’ve successfully not been drunk yet this year. Yay me. Feels good. We watched movies and stuff and it was pretty much the best ever. Posting this via mobile but have a good pic of our boots on my camera. My boots are Hunter and I gave Jenie my Cougars…”Cougar Hunter”. Funny to me ok. That’s what really matters here. haha. Woke up to winter wonderland, you can hardly see the ground. We made brekky and now heading to studio of my friend and fashion photographer Lynsie Roberts. Doing work from her place this afternoon. Enjoy the day!
