A night out with my favourite people in the whole world
So last night I went to watch the Rockettes Christmas Show at the Air Canada Center with My Sweet (my grandmother) and D (short for David - my grandfather). My grandparents had gotten floor seat tickets from my Grandma's niece, which were amazing! (except for the fact that the girl who was sitting in front of me had the BIGGEST head in the world, so I had to crane my neck to see around her. But no matter!) So with a bag of over-priced popcorn and my grandmother by my side, I was ready to take in the elaborate routines and precision dancing that has made the Rockettes famous. I didn't get to take any pictures, but I stole a few from their website for your viewing pleasure.
The Rockettes perform their tap-dancing version of "12 Days of Christmas"
Little Toy Soldiers - they did this in slooooowww motion.
It's odd, because usually I would get really into a show and the dancing and the message and all that, but as the show was progressing, all I did was assess and analyze; I was checking out the stage work, the lighting, the syncing of the tap dancing with the music, the projection of the singers voices and the sound of the speakers, etc.
After all that assessment, I concluded that I was impressed at how elaborate the stage and lighting and costumes were. During the hour and a half show, I was also surprised to notice that EVERYONE was REALLY into it. For example, Santa came on stage at the beginning and shouted "Merry Christmas!" and EVERYONE clapped and waved and screamed back "MERRY CHRISTMAS SANTA!"
Not that Christmas isn't my thing, but guys - it's November the 19th ... not even a MONTH till Christmas. And not that I don't love Christmas - I love the smell of pine trees and cookies baking and all that - but I find people get lost in the present buying and the commercialism of everything, and they lose the real meaning behind Christmas: (1) The birth of Christ, and (2) Some good, wholesome, family time. But I digress.
Overall I would say that if you love Christmas, and you love productions with dancing and singing, then this show is definitely worth it. For me, I think the best part was sitting beside my grandmother and watching her expressions change every time something bizarre or spectacular happened. Ah family time :) <3

No Expectations - Hold onto nothing and you will have everything.
as taken from a cheesy website, but the message is still legit ....
It is a most liberating experience when you are able to live life with an attitude of no expectations. When you have expectations, you have preconceived ideas of how things should be that you are attached to. Expectation creates fear because you think what you desire may or may not happen. Free of expectations, you can just go with the flow of the universe and not be affected by the outcomes that you encounter. Every outcome can serve to move you towards greater realization of your desires.
When you are attached to an outcome, you expect things to happen at a certain time in a certain way. But when it does not happen at the expected time or in the expected manner, then what results is a feeling of fear. Having expectations about how your desires should manifest will produce negative feelings when your expectations are not met. That is why it is better to act on your intention without expectations about the when and how it manifests.
Fear, doubt and worry are the last things you want to experience in the process of manifesting desires. That is why the best way to create what you want is through detachment. Act on your desires with a detached involvement. You do what you are guided to do by your heart but you do not judge the rightness of your actions by the results that you get. As long as your actions are based on purpose, you have done what you were meant to do regardless of what seems to happen from it.
When the universe is in the process of working things out for the realization of your intention, there might be things that happen which make it seem as though things are not working out. It is your expectation of how things should happen that makes you think that things are not working out. But actually you are not seeing the whole picture, because what you are seeing is only a piece of the larger scheme of events where everything is really working out the way it should.
