Hello My Loves!

Hope you are all having a wonderful day and are excited for Christmas!! 4 MORE DAYS! Insane! I feel like the time has flown by. I have been busy with work haha it is kicking my butt but I'm coming back to you writing another post. YAY! I missed you guys!

What do you have planned for Christmas? I am celebrating Christmas with my dad and my mom and my grandma! I have 3 different gatherings haha which means lots of food! My favourite food during this holiday would probably be pasta! My grandma is Italian and makes homemade pasta and if you never had it you are missing out! LOL.

This year is the first time I have seen a Dairy Milk Advent Calendar in Canada! I have been searching for one for years! When I saw it in the store I freaked out! LOL many others did too! I think dairy milk is the best kind of chocolate you can get! It is my personal fav. They used to make a chocolate bar which had pop rocks and jelly beans in it and it was honestly my favourite and then the company decided to get rid of it... :( I am on number 20 in my advent calendar haha I'm a little behind.

Anyone excited for the new year?? 2019 is almost done!! For me personally 2019 I was blessed to be provided the opportunity of a promotion and working with amazing people who I call my second family and i've started this blog which is very exciting because I miss writing. I feel 2020 will be an amazing year! Im going to  crush my dreams and goals and really try to focus on what makes me happy and where I wanna go in life. One of my goals I would like to achieve is to get my accounting certificate. I have 10 courses to do which is not bad.  I also want to create a healthy lifestyle for myself and focus on losing weight. I also want to pursue my passion on writing, this blog is encouraging me to not care about other opinions and just write what I want to write. Hopefully I can inspire you all in some way :)

Let me know what you guys are looking forward into the new year! I think it is going to be EPIC! I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Christmas! Congrats to making it this far! Even though we have ups and downs throughout our life, we always celebrate the new year together and I feel like each of us want to better ourselves and start over haha in some way.

Love you all so much!

Love Yourself

When we were little we had dreams or knew what we wanted to be when we grew up. Personally, for me I wanted to be a cashier! LOL, it was my dream job! I had 3 fake registers not gonna lie. My favourite was the scanner which I used to call the beeper and then it had this amazing conveyer belt where the produce would go on! LOL getting off topic but after that phase I grew a little bit older. My dreams had changed and I wanted to be a movie star, then a fashion designer, then an Artist and now the profession I am in is completely different from what I wanted to be when I was little. What I am trying to say, it doesn't matter what you want to be or how you get there, having that passion and drive to do anything you put your mind to reminds me of  me when I was little. 

In today's society we all lost the meaning of who we are. When we were little we didn't care if our hair wasn't brushed or we had teeth missing. We didn't care who was watching us because we were in the moment of having fun. When I grew up we didn't have cell phones or iPads. We had barbies and playodough and make-believe sets. We had to create our own fun! I miss those times because we were our own person, we were ourselves. We had no one else to look up too besides our parents. Now in today's world we are guilty to comparing ourselves to celebrities and I'm not going to lie I am guilty for that. We are not happy with our bodies or how we look. We get judged over not looking a certain way or what have you. 

I am writing this because I have lost who I am. I used to be this amazing girl, who always went after her dreams and never took no for an answer. I wasn't afraid to just be me. Being who you are and how you want the world to see you as I think is what makes you unique. It makes you special! There is only ONE you! No one can replace you! I used to write, I used to paint, I used to hang out with my amazing friends and just be myself and do what made me happy but now I don't really do what I love. I don't make time for myself, I've lost hope.

Sometimes I feel like I am not good enough, I don't like how I look and I degrade myself everyday because I compare myself to others and to me that is normal because that is what society has taught us. Instagram, Facebook, Youtube are great sources for social media but there is a huge downside on how we view ourselves because we start comparing to what other people are like.

 We should really focus on loving ourselves. Yes that may be loving your smile, or loving how you look or even loving your personality. We need to realize that LIFE is messy. its complicated. We have  ups and downs. We have moments we hang onto because that is what makes us happy. We have people we look up too because they may be a inspiration to you. But I want you to know all those things and qualities that we have has made you into the person that you are today. 

Each and everyone of you are special.  I want you to know that. So please whenever you see your family member or a co worker or even a stranger a compliment can go a long way. Make people feel good about themselves. Its the greatest feeling in the world. And as for each and everyone of you reading this.... LOVE YOURSELF, there is no one else like you! Embrace who you are hang onto those memories because that right there is the key to happiness. 

My Story

Hello World!!!

My Name is Lea Ware! A little background about me.. lets see. I am 28 years old and I am a twin. My mom says we are identical but my dad says we are fraternal. HA! Mom knows best ;) I am the older twin by two minutes. YAY me! I have to say it is cool being a twin, although we have our moments from time to time but who doesn't.

My passion to write started when I was 5 years old.  I used to make books out of lined paper and draw on them and pretend that I was an author. Then I got a little more creative and started to bind my books with ribbon to give it that extra touch. As I grew older I used to read here and there and came across a site called "Miss Literary". I used to write short stories and get amazing feedback. In 2012 I got the privilege to work for a company called" I Am That Girl" and that is where my passion for writing really took off.

Have you ever got the opportunity to stand on stage in front of millions of people and right when you are about to speak it gets quiet. LOL just imagine! I got that opportunity! And let me tell you it was honestly one of the best moments of my life! The reward of just putting yourself out there and being a role model for girls around the world is truly something to be proud about.

So now here we are today, January 1st 2020 I want to continue to create, to inspire, to make people laugh and just to have a safe space where you can all be yourselves! No judgement!

Thank you so much to all of you reading this and making my passion come true!

Lots of Love
