Alright, as JL, this is Reality.

I am feeling pressure of getting things created for what my dreams dreamt, for the story of the olympics and being able to create all that I have envisioned.  Today I had to bring one of my hard drives in to be checked, and hopefully recovered.  I have other hard drives to back up work, but I must admit I haven’t followed up completely to keep things double saved.  *NOW I WILL*.

So,

I have been working on a few different projects lately.  One was to finish up the legacy of Marc Emery, to offer respect for his journey, and all that he has done for Cannabis Culture.

I have also been working between a few projects of JL’s Journey including the snowmobile out west journey, and once arriving in Vancouver, ‘Being a Dreamer and Achieving your dreams’.

Previous work over the past few months has been editing on JL’s journey from *Freedom Festival 2007, the first event that I filmed, *footage from when I went to my old highschool, Ursuline College in Chatham where I created a film and posters, and went into classes, discussing what I was getting up to.  Then there is footage from when *I was throwing my first intro documentary party event.

The up and coming project in which is now of my highest priorities, is my vision of what brought me to the west coast.  The opportunity of the Olympics, which I recognized as an opportunity to create a film based around the idea of ‘Journey across a multicultural nation on the way to the common culture of the Olympics.’

My passion was, and is recognizing that cultures of the world can unite through festivals and events such as the Olympic games because it brings people of diverse cultures together, while being able to celebrate passion and dreams of the human spirit.  Using the symbolism of the torch, as a symbolism for culture, I am titling my vision as ‘Celebration of Culture: United Spirit’.

Since being out west, I have experienced stories and legacies to be shared, remembered and celebrated.  I am happy to be here, creating and working with stories, film editing, organizing of myself and my ideas in which I can write and share understanding through artistic works while aiming to inspire all that I have come to appreciate about our world, who we are, who we can be and the beautiful cultural experiences that can be experienced when we choose to consciously take part in our own lives and the world around us.

Love you for listening.

Thanks.

And to JL;

I allow myself to flow nicely through these next months, as I commit myself to editing processes, and feel calm and centered in the work I am doing.

I still believe in myself, no matter what stage I am at, or no matter what happens.  I have invested so much in my dreams and passions, and so much heart and soul through the journey I have been on, and love to be on.  

It truly is beautiful experience that I am having!

I am so happy to dedicate my energy, my mind, body and soul to being my best, happy, confident self.  It is a great journey to endure, indeed!

I am approaching the opportunity of becoming miss Universe Canada, so all of this work is definitely worth applying my deepest self and highest energies to.  I look forward to being toned!, speaking languages other than only English!, being able to smile and be radiant, offering of myself.

Miss JL Diversity: getting ready for Miss Universe Canada

Reflection: The past month has been filled with life experiences, of being able to enjoy company of friends and the summervibe of B.C. as well as definately preparing myself -to edit a video that is of high priority, and being determined to become my best self, in body, mind and spirit; centered balance of calmness serenity and radiant beingness. I am ready and excited for these next few months, of working hard, with dedication to explore, experience, create and live my dreams!

------------------------------------------
It's been awhile since I've written on here, I guess because to write a blog at this point in my life, I feel it best to be inspired to write about something that is of great importance, something that is moving. And although the past while I am sure there are many stories that could have been shared through blogs, now is the perfect time to get back into it, to share with you the stories going on in my life that will have great influence on my coming year, and life of dreams & visions, becoming reality!
I'll give a quick summary to share that since writing last, I took place in the Miss BC pageant, which was a great experience of making very much appreciated friendships with fellow contestants, gaining valuable on stage experience, and receiving motivation to further pursue pageants that would challenge me and offer me an opportunity to share my personality, passion and on stage presence and speaking skills = to have a platform to accomplish and further my dreams, and sincere passion to be an inspiration to the world.
Therefore, with encouragement of my dad and his girlfriend, I applied to the miss universe pageant, which has brought me to attend my first rehearsal/tryout while meeting the BC director, Connie and owner of Miss Universe Canada, Dennis. It was a very good experience, to practice runway walking, walking in heels with poise, elgance and personality. It was also much appreciated to hear Dennis speak about Canada as a multicultural country and that they are looking for a 'Miss Universe Canada 2010' that is successful in many aspects of what it means to be passionate, elegant and accomplished.
I look forward to development training of interviews, on stage speaking and building radiant, humble character for being able to share who I am, my passion to inspire and effect change in the world, my country, and communities in all directions of the globe. I can do this in many different ways, from being present and events and festivals, traveling to various countries, going to speak at schools and functions, writing my journey of experiences and understandings, creating films of my journey and artistic expressions of understandings, creating and performing music; uniting all my passions to be who I love to be while being able to inspire beauty, passion and talent in all people....as well as our ability to celebrate all cultures, +++ 'unity in diversity'....

as humanity, lets party through experience of festivals and live healthy lives of passion, activity and engagement while respecting the Supernatural beauty of nature that is the essence of who we are.

Thanks!
