New Year Poem

The New Year is just around the corner

Some of us are preparing to celebrate with friends and family

Have you made any New Year's resolutions?

The christmas trees are being put away

Santa has left on his sleigh

Children and students are preparing to go back to school

The bills are piling up

Unwanted gifts are being returned

Some of us are preparing to go back to school

Whether you have someone special in your life or not 

Embrace the New Year

Forgive and forget

Some of us just might tie the knot

A baby or two just might pop out

Christmas-Poem

Christmas a time to spend with family and friends

The mall is busy, last minute shoppers racing round and round

Children are anxious anticipating what Santa has brough this year

Lonely people fill coffee shops missing their family and friends

Some people are in the kitchen preparing christmas dinner

Others less fortunate are on the streets trying to survive one more day

The lucky ones are on the mountains embracing winter snow

Another holiday that brings joy and sadness to some

To others a time of financial burden and pressure

What ever your case may be I wish you all happiness and joy

Christmas is Around- Journal Entry

  Today is Christmas Eve.  Here I am sitting in Worksafe BC escaping the realitiy of my life.  I yearn for peace and quite.  I also wish for lots of money so I can live the life I want.  I want my independence which means having my own condo, car, and lots of money so I can can live life on my own terms.  I hate having the pressure of having to work.  The reality of life is that money is so powerful and sometimes so hard to obtain.  When I was younger I put my happiness first.  At 31 years old I realize how important it is to have money.  My needs have changed.  I want to grow up and leave home and start my own life. 

  Life is challlenging an endless rollercoaster going round and round.  My emotions are so strong and powerful.  A cup of cammomile tea is waiting for me.  I try to calm myself down and listen to some mediation music. 

  No body is perfect.  We all have problems and challenges.  At the end of the day I feel that as humans we all just want to be happy.

To all my readers whether I know you on a personal bases or not I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Love,

Candice Hung   

Coming Home-Poem

Coming home
Relieved to see family and friends
Problems await me
It's time to get my life together
There is never enough money
Anxiety, depression, and stress surround me
My days are busy
There is so much to do
How I yearn to be financially independent
I can not run away from myself
Where ever I go my problems will follow me
Life is challenging
It's time to take control of my life
It's not over, I still have time
Take a deep breath and relax
I can't turn my life around in oneday
It's time to take care of myself
I have to help myself before I help others
Deal with one thing at a time and move on
Build a strong foundation
Romance and children are still upon the air
All I need to do is love and care for myself

Taking control of my emotions

I have to admit that being an emotional and sensitive person by nature I sometimes let my feelings get the better part of me. I try to turn my negative emotions into positive emotions. Here are some of the ways I flip my mood around: -call a friend -exercise -watch a funny movie -journal -sing -go for walk -go for a massage -have fun

You are beautiful - Poem

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder So appealing You are so caring Your soul is so warm You make me feel loved and connected I am happy you are back in my life We have been through so much The world is your oyster You bring tears to my eyes So strong and tender Wise beyond your years I will always love you Sad that you will never be mine I hope someday I can fly My world is a happier place with you As I often cry I will never say bye bye bye I hope our friendship will never die Two souls connected without a doubt Near or far you are always in my heart People come and go As long as you are apart of my life I feel that I will never be alone When I am weak you are strong You always reach out when something is wrong I have tried to push you away Afraid of intimacy I must say So special you are Forever in my heart My best friend for life I will never be bored as long as you are by my side Through life's roller coaster ride Let's have a good laugh; no need to cry True love that money can't buy I hope our passion never dies You are the fire in my eyes A beautiful flower that always shines Near or far you are not alone New York New York is fun, fun, fun.

Friendship - Poem

My best friend for life How I miss you So far away but so close to heart I love to talk to you; the hours go by so fast I feel like we are soulmates I always think about you Eight beautiful years It is like I have known you all my life We are like twin sisters I know when you are sad and I know when something is wrong I trust you with my secrets and with my personal thoughts For you cannot be replaced You will always have a special place in my heart I love you like you are my sister I am so lucky to have you in my life I always want you to be happy I always want you to be well You know me and I know you We are so connected When I miss you I look up at the stars and think of you, shinning all the time I hope we will see each other again someday as though it were yesterday So very special to me Money cannot replace you My love for you will never die Even though I sometimes cry I will never say bye, bye, bye.

My Dream Job

I wake up ready to embrace the day

I am so excited I cannot wait

The children are waiting for me

Hooray for a new day

One by one the children enter the classroom

How I love there cute little outfits

Full of color and full of life

It's time to play

Let's do arts and crafts all day

So happy and giggly

Just to see them puts a big smile on my face

I love you all

Full of innocence

The world is your oyster

Let me show you the way

I understand you and you understand me

I will help you grow

I will nurture you and love you

I will sing songs with you and amuse you

I will teach you things and help you wipe your tears

I will always have unconditional love and acceptance for you

I will never turn you away

You will always have a very special place in my heart

Tiny little fingers and tiny little hands

How old are you? Show me with your fingers

Peek a boo! I see you! Hiding in the corner

Big hug, I love you lots

Every minute of every day

Hooray hooray its time to play

My Dream Job

Something to wake up to

I am so excited

I see you every morning

We have fun all day

Playing, singing, and having fun

We make each other happy

Not angry or sad

Creativity is a form of expression

I will teach you things and help you grow

What is loneliness?

What is loneliness but an emotion that comes and goes Feeling disconnected Emptiness all around me A horrible feeling consuming me For I want this feeling to go away Shall I escape it or embrace it Lonely one minute, connected another It's part of being human and it is part of life I am not the only one that feels this way Everyone has their own rainy days

Stepping back in order to see clearly

I left the comfort of my home, family, friends, and job to a foreign and unfamiliar place. It did not take me long to realize how lonely it can be to be totally and utterly alone. Being away from loved ones helped me realize and appreciate the value of family and friends. Material things hold little value for me. It was hard for me to appreciate new and beautiful things when I was too homesick to enjoy a beautiful hotel room and and all you can eat buffet when I had nobody to share it with. If life is not about learning, experiences and growing then what is it about?

Time for Change

Its time for change. For spring has arrived. It's time to clean up that room of mine. Continue exercising and socializing, and focus on my career. I will always love children for they are special to me. Life waits for no one so it's time for action, action, action.

Create the Life You Want to Live

Self empowerment is exactly that, powerful. It doesn't matter where you came from or what your circumstances are. What matters is what your goals and dreams are and what type of life you can create for yourself.

Mind over matter. The world is your oyster. Everyone has gifts and talents so why not share them with the world?

Problems and obstacles are apart of life. Finding solutions and overcoming challenges are part of the journey.

Have you made goals for 2012?

Figure out what you want (goals), make a plan, take action, and follow through.

Rome was not build over night.

I wish myself, family, friends, co-workers, and everyone else much success and happiness with their life. You only get one chance to live so create something wonderful.

What is your recipe for life?

Happiness

A feeling of contentment

Joy and energy flowing through my body

I am at peace

Love is abundant

My mind is empty

My emotions are stable

My body is in shape

Giggles and laughter fill the air

I sleep well and have happy dreams

I enjoy life and everything it has to offer

I enjoy my job

Friends are everywhere

Fun and hobbies fill my days

Passion

Adrenaline flowing through my body
For I cannot contain how I feel
I feel so alive
All I want to do is focus on you every minute of every day
You are my life
Everything I ever wanted
I am so lucky that I found you
Sweet dreams my love
For I cannot wait until tomorrow
I am happy just to spent time with you
Nothing else matters as long as I have you
My one and only true love

Spring has arrived

Spring has arrived

The sun is shinning

Flowes are starting to grow

Everyone is smiling, dancing, and having fun

It's time to get off the couch and put on those shorts

Go play outside

For spring has arrived

Love is Medicine

Spending time with people that you really care about you is precious. Fancy food and drinks are just extra. In a world where people are fighting and struggling to survive having people that really care about you is a true gift. Lots of people are lonely, depressed, and sad. The ones that are fortunate enough to find peace and happiness with themselves are lucky. May positive energy and love flow through your heart and touch the souls of others.

Love always, Candice Hung

Little Children

I love children and that will never change.

You bring a smile to my face even on the rainy days.

You are so cute. I love your tiny little hands.

The world is your oyster. Let me show you the way.

We can play and play and sing songs all day.

We can laugh and giggle and make play dough together.

I'll teach you manners and help you grow.

I love to see you everyday you are my pleasure.

Now I have faith that there is a place that I can call home.

What am I living for?

What am I living for but to wake up every morning to go to work, eat, sleep and do it all over again. If there is no joy in my day then what is the point? It is possible to have a career that I enjoy and can make money off too. Happiness is essential to life and so is making money. I need to live for myself and find ways to make myself happy. Love will come when it is time until then I have myself, family, and friends. I must not look for love to complete me as I can not rely on another person to make me happy. All those little connections I have must be treasured and cherished. New connections will be created and old ones will me nourished. Keep your head up even when it's raining as the sun will eventually shine.

The Law of Attraction

Do you believe in the law of attraction? I myself can't say whether I truly believe in it or not.

I do believe that the more energy and focus I put into something or someone the more real it will become.

I also feel that knowing what you want is the first step to obtaining goals. If you don't know what you want how can u aim for something?

Well here I go. These are the things I want in life:

A new career that I love and is financially rewarding.

More free time to myself.

More time for exercise.

More time to relax.

More time to enjoy and all it's experiences.

Spent more time with close friends and family.

To travel the world.

To have my own place, apartment , condo.

To be debt free

To have savings for a rainy day and retirement.

To have children, work with children or both.

To meet my soulmate and start a family with two children. One boy and one girl.

To own a car again.

To be onetime for work and appointments.

To focus on a few things and achieve goals I have created.

To commit to myself and to my goals and to follow through with plans by taking action.

To be more proffesional and street smart.

To control my emotions and work on my responsibilities and accountability.

To continue journaling and writing and make some money off of it at the same time.

To have fun, relax, laugh, and do things that I enjoy.

Life

Like a roller coaster going up and down

Challenges are always around

There are happy times and sad times

Nothing is guaranteed

Connections are all around me

It's those moments when somebody knows me deeply that matter the most

Love comes and goes

Always live for yourself

Don't be afraid to take risks

It's about the experience and the journey

The outcome is the end result

Live with passion and authenticity

At the end of the day you are the only one that knows who you really are

Only you know what you truly want and desire

Love yourself and others and love will return one way or another

Don't forget to laugh and smile

Give somebody a hug

Never be afraid to be who you are

When one door closes another door opens

There are no wrong choices only decisions to be made

The joy of humor and laughter

I watched improve theatre sports today and was rewarded with humor, laughter, and entertainment. Six wonderful people stood right before me expressing their creativity to those lucky enough to watch. All my worries and stress melted away as I was overcome with laughter. Life need not be to stressful. Work is only one aspect of life

The gift of empathy

I was literally going to explode yesterday but I was saved by empathy. I was so frustrated with life and so angry that anything and everything was pushing my buttons. I didn't need a hug,a kiss, money, or advice. I needed someone to care and understand what I was going through. My distress when from a ten to a one in less than 15 minutes. I am so grateful that there are empathetic people, trained counsellors, and trained crisis intervention volunteers out there to help people when they are having a crisis. It's the gift of being heard, understood, unjudged with compassion. Having a compassionate human that can really put themselves in your shoes at the end of the day is priceless. To me that is true love from another human.

Get out of your head and start living

I had a great weekend exercizing, socializing, and having fun. Time off from work was exactly what I needed. Part of being happy including physical exercise, eating healthy, socializing, and having fun.

There is a time for everything. Make sure you schedule an appointment with yourself to exercise and socialize. Life is not always about working. You deserve a break today.

Working with People

Working with people can be the most rewarding and the most difficult experience sometimes. I have been working in the customer service industry for 13 years. I love engaging and interacting with people on a daily bases. Ever person is unique and has different needs. Working with people makes it interesting as it can become routine and mandane sometimes. Building relationships and connections with customers is my strength.

Personally I like to help, support people, and add to their happiness. If I am contributing to society in this way I feel that I and giving to humanity and being fulfilled as a person at the same time.

When work is just work

From my own personal experience I find it hard to separate work and personal life a lot of the times. I spend most of my time working, eating, and sleeping. If I am motivated and have spare time I exercise, socialize and do things that I enjoy such as singing, writing, spending time with children, watching movies etc.

As humans we are all trying to get our needs met. I myself must remember that work is a place to make money and nothing else. Work is not a place to make friends, socialize, find a boyfriend, have fun, and get my unmet childhood needs met. All these other needs I need to get met in order to live a happy and well balanced life must be met outside of work which means time management on my part. I am still learning to create healthy boundaries with myself and others to keep me safe. Havimg healthy boundaries also makes life easier, more peaceful, and helps to build healthy relationships at the of the day.

There all types of boundaries including emotional, social, mental, physical, and
psychological boundaries. It is my responsibility to create and maintain my own boundaries and respect others peoples boundaries at the same time.

There is always learning in life for me whether it is a positive or negative experience. A positive attitude, resilience, and perseverance makes facing life easier. Fun, laughter, and love are just as important as making money and being responsibly. It's always about balance at the end of the day. I have also learned that I am only responsible for my own happiness and health. I must always take care of myself and help myself first before others. Neglecting myself would be a step backwards and will not help me achieve my life long dream of getting married and starting a family.

Emotional Boundaries

When other people project their emotions on to you it is never personal. It's hard to let it go and forgive others when it feels like they are literally dumping their crap onto you. Holding onto that anger is more poisonous than letting it go and forgiving the other person.

As humans we experience all sorts of emotions all the time. We can feel happy, sad, scared, angry, anxious etc. the list goes on. A lot of the times all of us just need a bit a love. A hug, some kind words, a smile or even a kiss goes a long way. We all need some emotional support sometimes. It can be hard to be self reliant, imdependent, and "perfect" all the time. Love, acceptance, patience, forgiveness, a good laugh, healthy boundaries, and understanding are all keys to all healthy relationships.

Las Vegas

vacation awaits me

A new place to explore

Time by myself

All my worries put on hold

It's time to have fun

Maybe I will win the jackpot

It's time for me to kick up my legs and relax

Time for exercise

Time to have fun

Time to think about my next step in life

Time to job search

Time to take care of myself

Time to fall madly in love with myself

Who knows? Maybe I will find the love of my life

Maybe I will just have a good time by myself

At this moment if I could do whatever I wanted and money was not a problem I would........

Pay all my debts off

Buy my own condo in vancouver and move out

Buy a car

Put lots of savings away

Start traveling all around the world

I would keep on writing wherever I am

I would stay connected to those that love me and make new friends and connections along the way

Once I am satisfied that I have seen the world I will settle down and create a career for myself or keep on writing

I love children so I will always stay connected to them

I would make a new life for myself in a new place to call home

As long as I am exploring, experiencing new things, meeting new people, and enjoying life and able to take care of myself I feel I will be happy on my own.

It's time to explore the world

Its time to explore the world

I don't have to live in a little bubble anymore

There is so much out there I need to explore

New things to see and new people to meet

I must never be afraid to be alone

It's time to take some risks in life and see where it takes me

The world is my oyster so I can indulge if I feel like it

I can't wait to jump on that airplane

New things to see and do along the way

There is no need to rush love or marriage

Children and love will come at the right time and place

Until then I will continue to live for myself

I will make new friends along the way

At the end of the day I dom't want to live with regret

I am going to keep on writing no matter where I am in this world

I hope my words connect with others and inspire some along the way

Horray Horray it's a brand new day.

Nothing like a great escape

There is nothing like a great escape. I am finally going on a vacation. So excited. I am going to Las Vegas. Nice hotel room, fitness room, pool, a new environment. Time to explore the world and grow up. I will always have debt but I can always create my own wealth as well. A bit of entertainment and gambling. Sounds good to me. Yaaaaaahhhhhhhh. I can fun by myself but as always the more the merrier.

Nothing like family

There is nothing like family. Sometimes I love them, sometimes I can't stand them, sometimes they annoy the hell out of me. At the end of the day I know that they care about me. These are the people that have nurtured and tolerated me for 30 years. I better not burn anybridges. These are only so many bridges in life. I Love you family. I just need my own space so I can appreciate them and love them in little bits. Too much of a good thing is not good. It all boils down to a fine balance at the end of the day.

Just get out there and connect and have fun

Life can be short so start living.  Socializing and enjoying life are the best parts of life.  So stop dwelling on your problems and start having fun.  You can be your best friend or your worst enemy.  Learn to love yourself and love will come.  The only one that can make you happy is yourself.  Look inside yourself and be self reliant and dependent.  Everything is extra.  The world is your oyster so go after what you want.  When life gives you lemons make lemonade.  Take some risks and face your fears.  Don't live with regret.  Wishing you a happy, fun, healthy, and wonderful life.

Candice Hung  

If I could do what ever I wanted right now and I had all the freedom and money in the world I would........

Resign from my job

Pay all my debts off

Put savings away and max out my rrsp'S

Buy a 3 bedroom condo

Book a one week cruise somewhere hot and tropical

Book a flight to Singapore, I will be going to Singapore after my cruise

Go to the gym and work out for one hour

See my counsellor

Go for a massage

Go to Leah's show

Nothing like the truth

Life is interesting. It has it's ups and downs. One day I am in love the next my heart is broken. On this magical journey of life I am the captain of my own ship. Sometimes I am unclear of where I am going. At the end of the day all I can do is trust my own heart. All I want is to be happy and to find someone to spent my life with. At this moment my intuition tells me that I don't want to be in Vancouver anymore. I am bored, I want to explore and see the world. I can live a comfortable and safe life at home with my family that I care a lot about or I can be brave and venture into the world and see what life has to offer. I can always return home. It's time to face my fears. I need to explore for myself, money comes and goes. All I have is this moment. I want my heart to sing everyday and all the time. What I know that will will never change is that I am beautiful inside and out. I have a loving family and loving friends. People do want to help me. I am loving and caring. I can make connections and find love anywhere in the world. As long as I open my heart and my soul and reach out to others and be myself everything will be okay. I hope to find real love with another person one day. I will always love children. That will never change.

If money was not an issue and you could do what ever you wanted with your life what would you do?

If money was abundant in my life I would do the following:

- pay all my debts off

- put money aside for retirement, savings, rrsp's

- buy a four bedroom house

- get two dogs; one girl and one boy

- book a vacation with my brother

- buy a car

- buy some property to invest in

-travel the world

-go volunteer in a few third world countries

- adopt two Asian children, one girl and one boy

- help my family with money related issues

- find the love of my life and get married

- have two more children of my own

What is intuition?

Intuition is like an inner compass that guides you in the right direction. When I am unsure,confused, and lost I know I can count on my intuition aka my gut instinct to lead me where I want to go. You can read all the books you want and seek all the advice and knowledge outside of you. At the end of the day all you really have is yourself. The reality is all you need is yourself. What I am trying to tell you is that you have all the answers just look inward and listen carefully to what your heart tells you.

The magic of meditating

Today I literally felt like I was going crazy. Full of anxiety. My head was spinning. All I wanted was some peace and quite. I couldn't focus, concentrate, and sit still. With the help of cardio exercise, yoga, and journaling I was able to calm my body and my mind so I could have my mind, body, and peace restored.

I learned that I must always take care of myself first. The importance of exercise, time for myself, and time to relax is priceless.

Love

What is love but a special connection

Two souls united

A special companion

Unmeasurable understanding and care

Honesty and truth fills the air

Similar interests and values

Laughing, singing, and dancing

I know how you feel, I know how you think

Nobody can replace you

You are precious to me

You know I love you

I want to spent the rest of my life with you

I want to bear your children and grow old with you

I never get tired of seeing you every day and every night

I love to snuggle with you and hold you tight

A special gift to me

You are priceless you see

You make me happy

I cry for you and feel so much for you

I am going to marry you so get down on your knee and propose to me

Valentine's Day - Poem

Valentines Day

A day for lovers to celebrate

Two hearts united

Chocolates and roses fill the air

Kisses and hugs everywhere

I love you she whispers

He smiles and kisses her

How lucky you are to have someone special

Never take anyone's love for granted, it's not worth the pickle.

Do you have a vision?

Do you have a vision?

Do you have a dream?

What do you want?

How are you going to get what you want?

These are thought provoking questions which only you have the answers too. Journal or create a vision board or collage to help yourself uncover and make clear what you really want in life.

It is only when we know what we want can we make a plan to get there.

Once you know what you want then make a plan and put it into action.

The only person holding you back from going after what you really want in life is yourself.

like Nike says " Just do it! ". What do you have to loose?

Never take your health for granted

It is only when one is sick does one feel grateful for their health.
Your body is like a car. If the car doesn't run properly neither does your body. Take good care of yourself and eat healthy, sleep the right amount of hours,exercise daily, and rest well. You only have one body and one chance to live.

Poetry- " Children AreThe World "

Very special
Full of life
You make me happy everyday and every night
Even when I am feeling blue you come along and everything is as good as new
The world is your oyster
Everything is sparkly and new
You are my dream come true
I am in love with you!!!!!!!
