~*The Lion King*~

July 19th is coming, and I have no chill!!!

It has been a long time since I have been this excited for a movie. Especially a remake, but The Lion King has been in my heart since it first debut in 1994.  Ever since the first time I heard “The Circle of Life”, and watched baby Simba be brought up high over the pride lands and presented to the Kingdom in the now iconic scene, this movie has held a very special place in my heart.

I’m looking forward to all the CGI effects and hearing Beyonce bring Nala back to life. As some people have come to say, she really was born for this part and fits perfectly into the role.

The Lion King was the first Disney animated feature to be an original story, rather than be based on an already existing work. The filmmakers have said that the story of The Lion King was inspired by the lives of Joseph and Moses, from the Bible, and William Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Like the play, in The Lion King Simba, the main protagonist, is faced with the loss of his father who was killed by his power hungry uncle. Simba is then forced to battle his uncle for control over their kingdom, just as Hamlet does.

The Lion King sends important messages regarding friendship, love, and hope.

 

 

 

 

Girl, Stop Apologizing!

I preordered this novel weeks before it became available on chapters.indigo.ca. I finally received my copy yesterday via UPS. I am halfway through reading already, and I could not be more pleased with this purchase. Rachel Hollis has hit every cord in my heart so far. Every page is one enlightening moment after another.

If I could ever recommend a Self Help/ Goal Achieving book for anyone to read, it would be THIS!

She knows how to reach your heart and your unspoken thoughts with every word she writes. She is able to speak to the little girl in my heart, who was always trying to please everyone but myself. I had tears in my eyes, and was nodding my head in agreement and hadn’t passed the introduction yet.

The layout of the book is out of this world:

Part 1 is 9 different excuses to let go of.

Part 2 is 7 behaviours to adopt.

Part 3 is 6 skills to acquire.

I love how she is able to incorporate her own life lessons into each excuse,behaviour and skill. She isn’t just tell you what to do, but how she lived it and what she did to get through it.

I know this book is going to be attached to me for a very long time, and I hope that all of you go get a copy too.

10/10 rating on the book.

I hope all of you have a great week. Sending much love from me to you.

Hey All!

Big things in the works for 2019.

Oh wait!

Happy New Year!

Almost through January, and I’ve got some big surprises in store for this year. Please bear with me and hang around to see all the fun we will have.

Lots of love and hope this Saturday finds you well.

Wednesday Wisdom! I’m back!

First off I need to apologize for my little hiatus I’ve taken for the past couple weeks. Life threw me for a loop and knocked me down.

Now I am back fiercer than ever and with a clearer vision of where I want to to from here.

Self doubt creeped in and reared its ugly head once again, and my mind became a dark place where every bad thought took over and I lost belief in what I could and will accomplish.

Once in a while life i gonna throw a curve at you or knock you down completely. The main point that you need to take away from all of this is;

It’s ok to fall down,

It’s ok to fail,

It’s ok to get knocked down,

But please get back up, come back stronger than ever before. Show the world that you won’t stay down.

You Are Loved.

It’s ok to cry…

Some days can be overwhelming.

It’s ok to cry.

Some days you may feel like you’ve hit a brick wall.

It’s ok to cry.

Some days everyone just knows the right buttons to push.

It’s ok to cry.

Some days can be the best days of your life.

It’s ok to cry.

Some days you can make a mountain out of a mole hill.

It’s ok to cry.

Some days the littlest thing can throw everything out of whack.

It’s ok to cry.

If you ever feel the emotions of everyday life getting to be too much, its ok to just let the tears flow. The important thing is that you don’t let whatever negativity that is affecting you get you down. Wipe the tears from your eyes and know that this moment isn’t forever, and things will get better. Don’t keep your emotions bottled up to fester and rot. That is only going to hurt you. If you need to talk to someone to talk thing through, by all means, find that someone, but if you cant find anyone contact me. I’ll listen. We all need someone we can turn to.

Monday Motivational

Just Be Yourself.

If they don’t like you for that, then they aren’t worth it.

Just worry about being you, and don’t waste your time trying to be something you aren’t.

People are going to like you, and there will be people who will not like you. Surround yourself with the ones who do, and don’t give energy to the ones who don’t.

Protect your energy from negative people… you are worth so much more than you give yourself credit for.

Have an Amazing week everyone. 🙂
