I exclaimed....trying to lighten the mood and Kristen's exasperation with me after another day filled with wifely nagging.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But the truth is, he did sign up for it. When Kristen & I took our vows, those solemn promises, we did sign the dotted line that said for better, for worse, for days that are normal, for days that are filled with <i>Christa's Crazy</i>. He knew exactly who I was and what he was signing that fateful day in 2007</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Since the onset of 2011 (a mere 7 months) I have literally watched five couples, all of whom are friends or childhood friends, call it quits on their relationships, three of those since April alone. And me...well being me...it causes me to think, look at my own marriage and assess. Or in my case completely panic and go into meltdown mode. I actually talked to Kristen about this one day, about how I was freaking out about our friends breaking up and how I don't want to ever be in those shoes. How I don't ever want us to get "there" to that point of no return.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> </div><div> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> Recently I was challenged to write a letter. Write a letter of those unspoken words to someone that you <i>should</i> say, already <i>should have</i> been said but you haven't. I wrote my letter to Kristen. I wrote my letter to him....simply out of fear. Fear that we will forget who we were and who we are. Forget who we were when we were youthful and ignorantly blissful. I told him I didn't want to forget the WHY we chose each other, I didn't want to forget our dreams & wishes. I told him I didn't want to forget any of the <i>us</i>, because in a life filled with schedules, children & what is sometimes the mundane routine of life....we do forget. We do make mistakes. We do take for granted.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i><b>I did not sign up for mediocre. </b></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">I refuse to have a marriage that's just okay, I refuse to have a marriage that's just getting by. In a society completely absorbed with self, we don't acknowledge that marriage is filled with compromise, communication and at times sacrifice of the oh so important self. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">In a society where divorce is okay, in a society where SELF is #1 and you living YOUR life, your way, is KING....I'm putting it out there that we as women can stand our ground and our belief in the bond of marriage. We as women can be that generation today to start a revolution that marriage might not be for everyone, but for those of us that have chosen it, it's worth it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I want to look back at my life when I'm old & grey with bragging rights!! I want to be able to tell the love story that was Kristen & I. One that might have had its challenges and disappointments but we clawed and tore our way through it anyway. That our marriage was one filled with companionship, adventure, laughter and happiness. Our solemn promise that was never broken.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>And with that....this week's challenge: </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Have a conversation! Talk to your husband. Tell him your unspoken words. Even if it is in a letter. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Dwell only on the positive....even the little things like putting out the garbage. In the routine of life, it's very easy to take it all for granted.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">- No grass is greener comparison...it's from the devil!! Seriously...what happens behind closed doors is so completely different than what any couple might actually let you see. Therefore, NO comparing. Every relationship is different and unique, just like people :) What works for me might not work for you, so why even both comparing apples to oranges.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">- And last but not least, take time out for just the two of you. Maybe a walk, a date night, or talking an extra 10 minutes when you go to bed tonight. Make "us" a priority this week. Let's be women of marriage's that are NOT of the mediocre kind.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">First option: Simple Petite Session</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These cards are rectangular double sided cards with envelopes</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sample of one of the designs #1 - front</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Second choice is the deluxe petite session</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuNOtSJqf1yShRlWfsdWNF4CroM82wEPQQtVTQ3Ba-5KbWREHI2i24HZ3FUcLxcvDrPvbenSANqm3-hTGl_V9of2AS3B0BhScoyApmf4wfHqb0FleQ9o_zBEkb7XBcjkLTK5declt6yvw/s1600/deluxe+petite+session+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuNOtSJqf1yShRlWfsdWNF4CroM82wEPQQtVTQ3Ba-5KbWREHI2i24HZ3FUcLxcvDrPvbenSANqm3-hTGl_V9of2AS3B0BhScoyApmf4wfHqb0FleQ9o_zBEkb7XBcjkLTK5declt6yvw/s640/deluxe+petite+session+copy.jpg" width="462" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The main difference in this session are the cards. They're the boutique cards so instead of rectangular double sided you get one of these two choices....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The Scalloped Edge (design #2)....note the dotted line is not on the card. These are just screen shots I took so you can get a better idea of the shape of the card :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeqO4-qkT_hWmWTzLa-BgwI90CiLuX_i0LNgUGQpVyNY1lOPg7lmsSJrGwqkM-a_D5vhweZR-xJwOtAFN3vfSQLayRWDhHkZOhzcLUccAknXzX5R7WSeXBuyT4EvfmmQltstlj6rShBcs/s1600/Scalloped+5x7+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeqO4-qkT_hWmWTzLa-BgwI90CiLuX_i0LNgUGQpVyNY1lOPg7lmsSJrGwqkM-a_D5vhweZR-xJwOtAFN3vfSQLayRWDhHkZOhzcLUccAknXzX5R7WSeXBuyT4EvfmmQltstlj6rShBcs/s640/Scalloped+5x7+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And the ornate (design #3) ....again without the dotted line on the edge :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9ITEUamOF8ZrIjzPYcjA3-zq9rDghBkRfN81Y3WRwC1NgtHPufgasoMu3643NSasxLGk92b-1FodW50dhw4HsMB7vBlsRm9OK6XvcBFADb7LSKoAG5vkOYuOFSjQcrVQjyN7_R5to6PQ/s1600/5x7+Ornate+MS+sample+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9ITEUamOF8ZrIjzPYcjA3-zq9rDghBkRfN81Y3WRwC1NgtHPufgasoMu3643NSasxLGk92b-1FodW50dhw4HsMB7vBlsRm9OK6XvcBFADb7LSKoAG5vkOYuOFSjQcrVQjyN7_R5to6PQ/s640/5x7+Ornate+MS+sample+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you book your Christmas or any portrait session before August 31st you'll receive a complimentary 8x10 Fine Art Gift Print</div><div style="text-align: center;">**Session fee is due at time of booking to hold place**</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't forget if studio sessions aren't you're style I'm booking regular portrait sessions until the end of August where you can easily use those photos for this year's family Christmas card if you wish!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">This one would be my typical shot....I fixed the curtains so he would be evenly exposed and took it in manual option...yes you can even see his dirty face in this one.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">In this case I actually prefer the first one. More dramatic, totally pushing me both technically and creatively...which is a good thing right?!!?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Kristen & I were living in a city where I knew very few people and as much as I loved Kristen and spending time with him I was going crazy. I needed girl time!</div><div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">I needed female opinions and conversation on the things and happenings in my life. Kristen is my best friend but he’s still a guy and I needed that balance in my life. So I rounded up a few acquaintances (“kind of” friends at the time but none I would consider “close”) and we joined an all women’s volleyball league. It was exactly what the Doctor ordered. I was able to laugh, giggle and talk girly stuff that Kristen would humour me and listen, but I’m sure some days were driving HIM crazy. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">It was from that point that I always made it a priority to have girlfriends in my life. Some are only acquaintances, some were only there for a season, some were and are soul mates that no matter how near or far there’s a connection that she can and will always be someone I can depend on. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">So with that here’s <b>my</b> list of what to and what not to look for when looking for a GREAT girlfriend.... please feel free to agree/disagree <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">:)</span> I strongly encourage the conversation</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">A GREAT girlfriend will.....</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">A GREAT girlfriend will not....</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">ALWAYS talk about herself (sometimes is okay...we all need that)</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Be a victim in her own life so that when you leave her presence you feel emotionally & spiritually DRAINED (I can’t believe the life I’ve been given, I’m destined to always struggle....)</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Be <b>constantly</b> critical of her appearance (you know who they are....I need to lose 10lbs, my thighs are too big, my skin isn’t perfect.....and on and on they go)</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Critical & judgmental of others (if she’s making fun of others or thinks she’s better than others it’s because she’s insecure and needs to feel better about herself.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">This list could go on and on but this is my short version that’s blog friendly <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">:)</span> I will quickly mention that there are women reading this RIGHT NOW who are saying I get along better with guys, women are cats, etc, etc....all I say to that is,...you haven’t found a great girlfriend or simply...it could be you. Maybe it’s time you evaluate the influence you have in a friendship...are you the negative, critical, always taking, draining one? Maybe, maybe not....I’m just putting it out there.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Now on to this week’s challenge:</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">*Really look at the girlfriends in your life and decide if a break up is in order. Yep I said it....sometimes we need to break up with girlfriends just like breaking up with a bad boyfriend.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">* Recognize the VALUE in the friendships you already do have with the fabulous women in your life! </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">* Feel like you need to re-connect with an old friend, do it! </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">* Have a friend that you want to get to know better? Ask her out for coffee! </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">**Side-note** You don’t have to be joined at the hip for the friendship to be of value. Find a balance that works for you because regardless of the amount of time spent together, the positive side effects it will bring to your life are totally worth it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />

I didn't but plugged through another Monday morning in the office.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was mid morning when I remembered the Mike & Ike candies in my purse. I quickly grabbed them and placed them on my desk where I first ate them by the handfuls and then one by one.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I started feeling better so I put them away....only to keep thinking about them so I decided to take them back out.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I figured I would only eat the yellow and green ones since they were my least favourite anyway. Once those were all gone though, I justified eating all the oranges ones....which left me with pink and red ones begging to be eaten to join their other coloured friends.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Before I knew it, I had eaten the whole bag.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I still felt miserable and now I could feel that Baby Hann had hiccups. All because of me.....all because I kept eating the Mike & Ike's and now my poor unborn child was going into sugar comatose!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I mean really, what kind of mother am I? I'm supposed to be eating properly and nurturing this child to be healthy, so that when he/she enters the world they are strong and have a fighting chance. But instead I had let my own self wallowing and sugar cravings get the best of me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then I remember something Mary said during the Spread the Love Seminar almost two weeks ago....she said you don't have to start over, you can "Fail Forward"</div><div style="text-align: center;">That simple statement of failing forward hit me so hard that I think it has almost become a chanting mantra of mine since then.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As women, mothers, wives, daughters,....when do we give ourselves permission to mess up? This fail forward concept made it okay to make mistakes as long as we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, learn from it but most importantly MOVE forward. After all, if you think about it, we never really start over. When we're born that's our only 'true' beginning. After that, we just crawl, stumble, walk and run forward....yes there will be bumps, bruises and tears along the way but that's how we learn, grow and figure out what does work and then maybe next time we won't stumble but we'll go forward with confidence, without error, without fail.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">So next time I screw up, I'll accept the responsibility and consequences of the mistake I made, whether it be eating too many Mike & Ike's, being too quick to speak harshly, making completely rash business decisions, or any other area of my life. I can go forward knowing I've learned, grown and became a better person because of it. I can shed the horrible feelings of guilt and shame and be proud that I was strong enough to fail and yet overcome to keep going. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />

I've been so deeply affected in a positive way that I don't want the feeling to end. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I just want to say that if you're ever given the opportunity to attend both or at least one of either of these please JUMP at the opportunity, it's so worth the investment.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I also want to add that Justin & Mary are the real deal. Who they are on the blog is who they are in person. Genuine and down to earth :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now for my last few images to clue everything up on this Friday evening! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">First here's some behind the scenes shots....Justin chatting it up with <a href="http://www.emmapoliquin.com/index2.php#/home/">Emma Poliquin</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> If you're from the Halifax area, check her out! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mary setting up our models. I HEART Mary :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0LAeCzv0TDcDeqlxqe1lVCxvEdzSM-hfn1j-SEewCNpkQSfqyYzgJo7ESbsJlTsleyHk8GwQThzpLXgwg-krpQVqT6rgnYhgsViZRa9-8SdHShZy1QcKeT6bMAhbLY21sRFx5XL4XRow/s1600/alice_in_wonderland_behind+the+scenes+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0LAeCzv0TDcDeqlxqe1lVCxvEdzSM-hfn1j-SEewCNpkQSfqyYzgJo7ESbsJlTsleyHk8GwQThzpLXgwg-krpQVqT6rgnYhgsViZRa9-8SdHShZy1QcKeT6bMAhbLY21sRFx5XL4XRow/s640/alice_in_wonderland_behind+the+scenes+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Okay so these hats get a shot all their own because Julia MADE them herself. Yep....I'm totally impressed. One of the girls keep asking Mary all day how to get herself a Julia....I can't remember the exact conversation but I do recall Mary saying something along the lines of not being allowed to have her Julia :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBTasc2BzetOUVNXznHkeGTXHFU1HrKkcCz0rz4EeQmTE6W0utqtOdKvU_Z12euRYyWu0rhgOFBuN3Y3quBBlWS208RsqVBy9DQ-OwRU7uOyAuk981b23g2CL54Y9W0o5wghjlsbFHklI/s1600/alice_in_wonderland_hats+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBTasc2BzetOUVNXznHkeGTXHFU1HrKkcCz0rz4EeQmTE6W0utqtOdKvU_Z12euRYyWu0rhgOFBuN3Y3quBBlWS208RsqVBy9DQ-OwRU7uOyAuk981b23g2CL54Y9W0o5wghjlsbFHklI/s640/alice_in_wonderland_hats+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then it was time to get schooled about off camera flash. This was ONE of the main reasons I signed up for this workshop. I was not disappointed. Here we were learning how to photograph detail shots using the shoot through umbrella. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0mu7OUopuvQmoyRhLKdGg4k0MUPBPvz_wvj5y4eGVZYoNLTfV5AOc2LyJWad-1PWP2SgwyUH5_-lcsNDvMK67snxBlsLbaYmL8t2HtM74cw9yLZsumnogSDTZ8sjfbyUJ8K7GOh-4lZM/s1600/details+with+off+camera+flash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0mu7OUopuvQmoyRhLKdGg4k0MUPBPvz_wvj5y4eGVZYoNLTfV5AOc2LyJWad-1PWP2SgwyUH5_-lcsNDvMK67snxBlsLbaYmL8t2HtM74cw9yLZsumnogSDTZ8sjfbyUJ8K7GOh-4lZM/s640/details+with+off+camera+flash.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And this shot is where I was personally getting schooled about the off camera flash because I was being blonde, or pregnant, or just simply dumb and was not getting it until I took this image. </div><div style="text-align: center;">EXTRA kudos to Justin & Mary for being so patient with me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYbi42aC1LYyol1upVrQf0-9nA_YZsh3w1kMCPMkTNBIm8xEfNHXY7LohIqunPs50S7rXCvw-0geYTJJKJ-ZaMGV1ZfFCm08chkMqmVkC45tVoXDy45LzbVE1ItoSGpQtFFlk99EElTxA/s1600/getting+schooled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYbi42aC1LYyol1upVrQf0-9nA_YZsh3w1kMCPMkTNBIm8xEfNHXY7LohIqunPs50S7rXCvw-0geYTJJKJ-ZaMGV1ZfFCm08chkMqmVkC45tVoXDy45LzbVE1ItoSGpQtFFlk99EElTxA/s640/getting+schooled.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And last but not least my FAVOURITE off camera flash image. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Brent & Patti I met earlier in the week at the Spread the Love seminar and they came along to help out at the workshop for a few of the "what I call" night shots.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.brentpilgrim.ca/">Brent</a> is a wedding photographer from the Milton area....so you'll definitely want to be checking out his work too. They too are a super sweet couple.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbE4_N8VI7BJybypxRhRj-ky9Mz-zvNNsfe_9aE9CRvTmHYdX2HwVkNq6oG-WIp3-5ZKHTAR0zwcnXrPIt08eP0eNb6Y065pxmPQHMIzInGPu-6OpmjJ9ZThlKDSM5zFN_STy-IziJdR8/s1600/rockwood_conservation_night_wedding+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbE4_N8VI7BJybypxRhRj-ky9Mz-zvNNsfe_9aE9CRvTmHYdX2HwVkNq6oG-WIp3-5ZKHTAR0zwcnXrPIt08eP0eNb6Y065pxmPQHMIzInGPu-6OpmjJ9ZThlKDSM5zFN_STy-IziJdR8/s640/rockwood_conservation_night_wedding+copy.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So yep that's it....the conclusion of the seminar and workshop blog posts, photos, and ramblings. All kinds of new goodies next week. Have a fabulous weekend everyone and I hope you have some awesome summer plans up your sleeves! Get out and enjoy :)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Friday!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

That's my time....to catch up on work, cleaning or me time. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Yes that quiet time where I get to do whatever I want just for me. I really believe in quiet time, not just for myself but for all women. We put so many pressures and demands on ourselves in the run of a day that I feel even 10 minutes a day to unwind, reflect, pray, meditate or do whatever it is you do as down time is not only important but vital to our overall well-being. It helps us get out stress, rejuvenate our spirits and connect our souls to something of a higher power.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Some of my favourite quiet time activities are....</div><div style="text-align: center;">Reading Books/Bible</div><div style="text-align: center;">Writing or Journalling</div><div style="text-align: center;">Praying/Meditating/Reflecting</div><div style="text-align: center;">Going for a Walk</div><div style="text-align: center;">Candlelit Bubble Bath</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yoga</div><div style="text-align: center;">Listening to the rain</div><div style="text-align: center;">Listening to softly playing music</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This week's Just for Her challenge is simple!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Take at least 10 minutes each day for the next 7 days as quiet time. Rejuvenate your spirit, rest your mind, and in turn make yourself a better woman because you decided to take time just for you.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Open Mind.<div style="text-align: center;">I woke abruptly at 1:50am hot and thirsty. I threw off the blankets and reached to my nightstand to discover I had forgotten my glass of water. I stumble into the kitchen drink my water at top speed and then use the green glow from the stove clock to refill my glass. I crawl back into bed and that's when it started....the thinking.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I went into yesterday's <a href="http://www.justinmarantz.com/index.cfm?catID=47">Spread the Love</a> seminar with the mindset of an Open Heart. Open Mind. I booked this seminar back in November not knowing what to expect but knowing it was something I needed and wanted to do without doubt. And as life would have it, the timing couldn't have been better.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had full intentions of spending today reflecting, writing, and immediately implementing some of the ideas and challenges put before me from yesterday. But instead...I awoke in the wee hours to then spend the rest of the night thinking (with some tossing & turning thrown in) I was processing the abundance of information and even started coming up with my own ideas & even a couple of light bulb moments....yep who knew wee hour thinking could be so productive.</div><div style="text-align: center;">5am I hear Kristen's alarm go off and I realize I've been awake pretty much the entire night but I realize I'm okay with that. I can catch up on sleep anytime, but this seminar was an experience of a lifetime for me. I'm excited and on fire for this next step, this next adventure. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Justin & Mary....thank you. Your desire to help others, to give them permission to 'fail forward' and the permission to be yourself has already been worth it's weight in gold for me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
This is me yesterday on the way to Toronto for the seminar. I didn't take any photos while there because I was just too caught up in everything else. Super excited & anxious but definitely worth it :)<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> "It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well" ~ Rene Descartes</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="body">First, never stop learning. I love to learn and read. I love hearing about new things! I love using Google...yep I google everything! And I even use dictionary.com quite a bit too when there's a word I hear that I don't know the meaning of or thesaurus.com when I want an alternative word for one bouncing around in this crazy head of mine :)</span> I know you don't have to be borderline (or completely over the line) nerd like me but I do believe reading is very important to one's mental health. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Second, be positive. I'm sure you've all heard the quote </div><div style="text-align: center;">"I think, therefore I am" ~Rene Descartes</div><div style="text-align: center;">And it couldn't be truer. Whatever is on your mind, whatever occupies your thoughts whether it be positive or negative will come to be.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We need to start changing our thought process to be happy, good and wholesome. It's not always easy, because we're all prone to a down or bad day. But it's the choice to change that thought process and focus on the positive that we'll realize it does have an affect on our every day lives.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm currently reading <a href="http://www.joelosteen.com/Pages/Index.aspx">Your Best Life Now by Joel Osteen</a> and I must say this book is AWESOME! </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlIVjleUjbdy1Kvmsh8Dyw4TtAojD9YvdJd_hU1kBB_vbqUdXlYupaTAdA7HWxyBk95IoWxr78595iFNCwQVbMmW9t131SMvQjWyXIdxf_mLv7enweodz4RY7oAsgxMrmdlnF4GefZh-k/s1600/best+life+now+book.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlIVjleUjbdy1Kvmsh8Dyw4TtAojD9YvdJd_hU1kBB_vbqUdXlYupaTAdA7HWxyBk95IoWxr78595iFNCwQVbMmW9t131SMvQjWyXIdxf_mLv7enweodz4RY7oAsgxMrmdlnF4GefZh-k/s320/best+life+now+book.JPG" width="202" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I started reading it a while ago and unlike a great book that I can't turn the pages quickly enough, this one is the exact opposite. I want to read it as slowly as possible, I want to savour every word, line and paragraph. I want it to last as long as possible. This book is all about living your best life now and the power of positive thinking all with a very spiritual & Biblical basis. Even if you don't consider yourself spiritual, everyone and I mean everyone can take something great from this book. I highly encourage you to read it!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So to conclude...this weeks challenge is</div><div style="text-align: center;">1) Think Positive! Even if it's a bad day. Do not fall victim to feeling sad, discouraged, or any negative feeling that may exist and enter your mind. This week you are not a victim but a beautiful, healthy woman who's loving life right now as it is!</div><div style="text-align: center;">2) Read a book or magazine! Find something that you're interested in, if it's cooking then go get Rachel Ray's magazine <a href="http://www.rachaelraymag.com/">Every Day</a> or for books that read like romantic comedies then I recommend anything by <a href="http://www.sophiekinsella.co.uk/">Sophie Kinsella </a>my personal favourite being <a href="http://www.sophiekinsella.co.uk/books/stand-alone-novels/can-you-keep-a-secret/">"Can you Keep a Secret" </a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Or to kill two birds with one stone, then yes go get Your Best Life Now! It's brain food and positive thinking all in one!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">"Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life"</div><div style="text-align: center;">~ Joel Osteen </div></div>Christahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060739942238807835noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935697340845246361.post-87806188765165999012011-07-04T14:01:00.000-04:002011-07-04T14:01:39.178-04:00With Appreciation<div style="text-align: center;">I've loved every single appreciation comment that were left both here and on the facebook photography page.

</div>Christahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060739942238807835noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935697340845246361.post-64706008731149630412011-06-29T22:01:00.000-04:002011-06-29T22:01:28.462-04:00Life Right Now....<div style="text-align: center;">It's been a week since Kristen started a new job after working at the same place for 12.5 years. Life's daily routine has changed dramatically but we're doing very well. Jesse & I are adjusting to Daddy's long days and have a new morning routine of being able to get ready and out the door without his help.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Surprisingly the transition wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, I think the main reason was that we were already in a mind-set that major change was going to come to our lives this year....even more specifically this summer....and because of that things are going smoothly...for now :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I especially have to thank our babysitter Tonya who's been so amazingly accommodating and supportive of the fast changes and longer days that have been thrown her way....you're not just Jesse's daycare provider but a dear friend to me and the rest of the family....we appreciate you so much!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On that Jesse note....he's talking up a storm...or at least attempting to talk up a storm. He has a current obsession with all things transportation like heavy equipment, dump trucks, planes, trains and buses. Trucks he calls da-dum, trains are too-too, buses are bye, and planes are pean. I love being able to see how he's growing up and changing every day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On a photography note, my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christa-Hann-Photography/117775118233929">Facebook photography page</a> has reached just over 200 LIKES so a giveaway is definitely in order!! I can't express how much I love & appreciate you my blog readers and facebook page "likers" (is likers a word??....if not I just made it up....lol) because the reality is without you there'd be no Christa Hann Photography.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On a baby note, I've started nesting and preparing for the arrival of Baby Hann...just over 3 months away! I'm feeling really good and so far the swelling of my ankles have been to a minimum. By this time during my pregnancy with Jesse I was a swollen puff-a-lump...no joke! Otherwise I am finding the pregnancies VERY similar in how I feel and how my body is shaping. And for those of you bugging me for belly pics, here's a quick one that I managed to take on my ipod tonight.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7uAZftB7bCQQezzTjiX-9bJBmiFRbUPf5d0isMSk2hA9zeMlczUZJNll5R4Vt6vqUEEdqbEuUEHRVy8GWv62xqYLDlUHkd5E8GO83evVwddemS1TOjzaLZ_3Nl74L0SB2t0_Fy5sDvdo/s1600/IMG_0214.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7uAZftB7bCQQezzTjiX-9bJBmiFRbUPf5d0isMSk2hA9zeMlczUZJNll5R4Vt6vqUEEdqbEuUEHRVy8GWv62xqYLDlUHkd5E8GO83evVwddemS1TOjzaLZ_3Nl74L0SB2t0_Fy5sDvdo/s400/IMG_0214.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On that note....I wish you a Happy Wednesday and don't forget to check back on Friday for the appreciation giveaway. And maybe even more surprises if my evenings are productive when Jesse is down for the night.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

But there comes a time when we should say no or at least do that extra workout to burn the calories. And no simply for weight reasons but for health reasons. Ladies if we don't take care of ourselves nobody else is going to do it for us.</div><div style="text-align: center;">After last weeks challenge we should all be feeling fabulous about ourselves or at the very least maybe at least a little bit better? It's time to look at our overall health.....the benefits of being healthy are numerous a few include a longer life span, more energy (a must with today's busy lifestyle and hyper children) and not to mention for some weight loss and a trimmer waistline.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">So to continue with our Just for Her Summer Series, today I'll be just throwing out a few ideas in which we can make ourselves a wee bit healthier. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Exercise</b> - As simple as a 30 minute walk could have huge physical benefits including weight loss...yay!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Drink lots of water</b> - if you don't like water try low cal Crystal Lite for flavour or squeeze a bit of lemon or lime juice in there.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Sleep!</b> Easier said than done for some but at least an effort should be made towards 7 hours a night. But if you got out for that 30 minute walk earlier I'm sure that along with the fresh air will definitely help.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Cook Fresh!!</b> Stop making meals that are coming out of a bag, box or can. The preservatives and sodium levels on that stuff is brutal! Or even attempt a day of eating only <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_foodism">raw</a>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Take your Vitamins</b> - <a href="http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/critical-vitamins-every-woman">Dr. Oz suggests</a> a daily multi-vitamin, half taken in the morning and half at night, Vitamin D and Omega 3's for women </div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Get smart about Heart Health </b>as it's one of the major killers of women today - <a href="http://www.thehearttruth.ca/index.cfm?lID=1">click HERE</a> for the Canadian Heart & Stroke Foundation.</div><span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div><b>Eat Super Foods</b> - here are the top 10 that I found in my research<br />
1. Green Vegetables - broccoli, spinach and leafy greens especially!<br />
2. Fruit - aim for lots of berries, citrus fruits, avocados & tomatoes<br />
3. Garlic<br />
4. Nuts & Seeds<br />
5. Whole Grains - yes that means no more white bread, don't forget oats & barley too.<br />
6. Seafood - yummy cold water fish like salmon....mmm<br />
7. Lean meat - the best choice is turkey<br />
8. Milk &Yogurt<br />
9. Legumes - lots of beans in your chili? then you're covered :)<br />
10. Olive Oil - preferably Extra Virgin<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And with the above in mind here's this week's 7 day challenge:</div><div style="text-align: center;">1) Take a 30 minute walk at least twice this week</div><div style="text-align: center;">2) One day eat only FRESH nothing can be pre-packaged for you. Get creative with herbs & spices for added flavour if you're missing the added salt taste.</div><div style="text-align: center;">3) Eat at least one item from the super foods over the 7 days (I understand if the milk/yogurt category is out as I'm on a non-dairy diet myself.....boo!)</div><div style="text-align: center;">4) Educate yourself on heart health and vitamins. Decide if taking supplements would be beneficial to your health. Knowledge is always power.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Then the whole idea was for the kids to give up the lollipops and have some ice cream. Jesse would have none of it....lollipops all the way for him. But isn't that life with kids?</div><div style="text-align: center;">It really didn't matter...these kids are on so much cuteness overload ice cream or lollipops wouldn't have made a difference.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you think a stylized portrait session is something you would want to do with your family or children do not hesitate to get in touch. We'll start from scratch and figure out a whole session stylized to suit your personalities. Or if you love the props we used with Leah & Jesse then mention that and we can use those too,....obviously just tweaking a few things to customize the session to you.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you've all enjoyed the Leah & Jesse mini series.
