Makin’ It Mine with Jason Mraz

Posted on Jul 15, 2008 Leave a Comment

Hands down – one of my all time favorite activities is driving with the windows down, on a sunny day with the tunes so loud that I can’t hear myself sing or my phone ring!

My amazing bro introduced me to his hero and my morning inspiration, Jason Mraz. His new CD – We Sing We Dance We Steal Things is simply fabulous.

Wake up everyone
How can you sleep at a time like this
Unless the dreamer is the real you
Listen to your voice
The one that tells you to taste past the tip of your tongue
Leap and the net will appear

I don’t wanna wake before
The dream is over
I’m gonna make it mine
Yes i… I know it
I’m gonna make it mine
Yes i’ll make it all mine

I keep my life on a heavy rotation
Requesting that it’s lifting you up
Up up and away
And over to a table at the graditude cafe
And I am finally there
And all the angels they’ll be singing
Ah la la la ah la la la I la la la la love you
I don’t wanna break before
The tour is overI’m gonna make it mine
Yes i…i know itI’m gonna make it mine
Yes i’ll make it all mine
And timing’s everything
And this time there’s plenty
I am balancing
Careful and steady
And reveling in energy that everyone’s emitting
I don’t wanna wait no more
No I wanna celebrate the whole world
I’m gonna make it mine
Because I’m following your joy
I’m gonna make it mine
Because I… I am open
I’m gonna make it mine

But don’t believe me…go listen to it for yourself! Just promise me that you won’t hold back when you want to start singing and dancing along… :)

Dare To Be Remarkable.

My special friend Gina recently gave me an absolutely beautiful gift.

(Gina and I after the Knee Knacker, 2008)

It is a hand-made necklace from a North Vancouver jewellery designer named Andrea Waines. I have often looked at her works of wonder and even purchased a few gifts for others myself. To receive one from someone else, I think is truly the greatest gift.

My necklace reads: Dare To Be Remarkable. Kinda hard to sport that and not feel fabulous, eh!

leadership lessons, elevated heartbeat experiences + the odd delicious recipe delivered straight to your inbox!

# | a very special ‘cast with a very special soul. @jackicarr is possibility personified; she is truth-dropping + big-life-seeking; she is a rad Mama, a huge-hearted-human + a believer in your wildest dreams. give this gal a mic — you will never regret it! ❤️ i’m an apostrophe; i’m just a symbol to remind you that there’s more to see.” ...oh, the stories of our lil paws! i’m so good at getting blistered feet; i’m even better at forgetting about where the blisters came from🤪. i like so many of the other (race) details — meeting new folks in new places, eating breakfast at dark oclock, the rad stranger i shared the last shuttle to the start line with — all before a blister was born! #thesetooshallpass #butpleasedontpop #‍♀️| today i ran marathon; all guts with no excuses! ya gotta go (for it) + sometimes ya blow (up!). // getting to this start line was a proverbial marathon of self-doubt, injuries, ego-management + alotta resiliancy that quietly whispered “just.keep.going!”.// i blew by mile14 + picked up an incredible buddy @daniela.decristo shortly thereafter. we bonded quickly over both not having the days we wanted + yet finding serious amounts of gratitude in forward movement.// i’ll take a “bad” race over not racing every single time! (heck, this was marathon #39 for me; when i ran here 9years ago i was 45min slower. so it wasn’t my fastest day, but it sure wasn’t my slowest either! ‍♀️) humans are incredible if we just get outta our own darn way. ❤️// big love to @rachelmcb + @young_fast_stoked for cheers when the wheels were off + spirits were shaky. . #ittakesavillage #b78coaching #nuunlife #noonesaidmarathonswereeasy #domorehardthings
