Happy November! Linking up with T Stands for Tuesday over at Elizabeth's Blog.
It has been a while since I've written. October was so wonderful and I am so grateful for everything that happened. I auditioned for a commercial and I got the part! I went for the wardrobe fitting and I got the opportunity to visit the Danforth area in Toronto. I took a photo as I drove downtown Toronto.
After the wardrobe fitting I went to Church for a prayer. It was a blessing the priest was there and I was able to get a blessing that day. This icon is:
"Saint Irene Chrysovalantou (ca. 830/845 – ca. 930/940 CE) is a 9th-century Byzantine abbess and Eastern Orthodox saint remembered for her strict asceticism, clairvoyance, and role as a patron intercessor for couples struggling with infertility" -Wikipedia.org
I then got some delicious food at the Carrot Common on the Danforth followed by delicious coffee. This food was so so delicious!
I needed this coffee after waking up so early.
It was a perfect cappuccino! I also picked up two books from this lovely bookshop called
BOOK CITY on the Danforth.
At the end of the week I went on set and experienced my first commercial shoot ever! I can't give out details but It will be on tv only in BC. That is all I can say for now. The experience was truly incredible and I will always cherish it. Working with others that share so much passion for what they do and that are so creative, inspirational and professional is beyond amazing. It felt really incredible to work with a team and a fantastic director. I am truly grateful for each moment and I will forever keep that experience in my heart. I am so grateful for the opportunity. I love commercials and hope and pray that I will get more opportunities in the future.
It's been cold in Ontario this week. Rooftops have frost. The leaves have fallen and the branches look bare. I wake up daily and do my prayers. I've been struggling making art. I've been keeping busy with house chores, cleaning, laundry, cooking for my family. I haven't gone for walks at the moment. I would like to establish a few new routines. I would like to go for a daily walk. I want to challenge myself with a few core workouts to help my body gain strength. I would like to put all these ideas into actual action. I will try!!
I've been journaling daily, I've been using stickers too. I've been using a lot of layout ideas in my journal from https://www.shutterbean.com/ which I really like. She is so creative and the intentions of the week are working really well for me. Truly wonderful.
I've been drinking coffee and love my tea. It's almost time to use my Nutcracker themed mugs! I've been to the shops but I haven't seen a mug I like lately. I think I would like to go to a pottery place and paint my own mug this winter. That would be totally fun don't you think?
I hope you are all well, thank you for being here and reading my blog post. I hope you all have a lovely rest of the week. Hopefully I will get inspired and make some artwork soon. Today I plan to read a little and cook. Today I feel like having pasta. Yesterday I tried to make a cake and It didn't work out but when things don't turn out we keep going! "Onward, Christian Soldiers"!
Thank you so much!
