My “Amazing” iTunes playlist

March 3, 2010 By Robyn 1 Comment

Thanks for reading my “First 4 hours” blog post – this entry is a result of getting Tiffany & Crystal‘s comments – thank you for your support divas.

My favorites:

Amazing – Seal (Read my Fashion Show blog post)

All I Want To Do – Sugarland (I just want to dance around whenever I listen to!)

The Climb – Miley Cyrus (Listen to in a past blog post)

Believe – Suzie McNeil (I blogged about my experience HERE)

Simply the Best – Tina Turner (SOOO amazing!)

I Gotta Feeling – The Black Eyed Peas (LOVE this song – was moved by THIS performance from Oprah)

My Wish – Rascall Flatts (My motto for life!)

Somebody Like You – Keith Urban (My favorite love song – we danced to at our wedding – oh reminds me I owe you a new chapter of Swept off my feet by a Texan!)

If It Wasn’t For Texas – George Strait (If it wasn’t for Texas – I wouldn’t have met my husband – George is also John’s all-time favorite singer – hands down!)

Online – Brad Paisley (makes me smile & reminisce about what did we do before social media?)

Fly- Katie Rox (My friend from growing up – the good ole 4H days – I blogged about Katie HERE)

What I Like About Texas– Jerry Jeff Walker & Gary Nunn (John put on a CD he made me when we first started dating – it reminds me of our courtship & the amazing things I love about Texas)

Suddenly I See– KT Tunstall (from one of my favorite movies – The Devil Wears Prada!)

I captured this picture – while taking a gorgeous brisk walk in Saskatoon, SK in October 2009.
It was the morning after I spoke at a Conference as a Motivational Speaker.
(Thanks again to my friend Stacy Young for blessing me with the opportunity).

The rest of the songs on the list:

Who Wouldn’t Want To Be Me – Keith Urban

Pocketful of Sunshine – Natasha Bedingfield

Ride – The Vines

Real World – Matchbox Twenty

Rockstar – Nickelback

Poker Face – Lady GaGa

Sideways – Dierks Bentley

Hot ‘N Cold – Katy Perry

_______________________________________

This playlist is really random – it matches my spontaneous personality!

I’m not sure if you recall this or not – BUT I don’t listen to lyrics much. I am a beat person – if the tempo of the song moves me – then I’m hooked. For all I know – a song could be crude or depressing – it usually takes me listening to it about 100 times before I figure that out.

I’d LOVE to hear what your favorite songs are – so I can add to my playlists!

Thanks to my husband for getting my iPod setup. Do you recall him spending hours preparing our iTunes database? Read the blog post – Singing Out Loud!

Live Inspired,
Robyn

First 4 hours

March 2, 2010 By Robyn 5 Comments

I’m often asked how I find time for everything in my wild life! Well – I believe this morning is a perfect example of the multi-tasking that goes on and how much fun I truly have living life.

The first 4 hours of this morning (Tuesday, March 2) in my world!

_____________________________________

Woke up before my alarm at 6:17am

Remembering my last dream about the ECE Conference (I’ll have to tell you about this lovely “side” contract I took on).

  • A bunch of things I need to do for the event – start flying through my mind.

Opened my eyes

  • Starting writing “to do” list on a note pad beside my bed
  • Made notes for my MC speeches for the conference, while still lying in bed
  • Open Facebook  from my cell phone for my morning inspiration
    • I’m addicted to reading your Status Updates 
      • (What did we do before Facebook??)

Leaped from bed and got ready

  • Loving the new hair
    • So easy to do
      • Looks completely crazy today! (I’ll share more about the “chop” soon!)

Got a make shift lunch together with leftovers (I “don’t prefer” making lunches – definitely a huge pet peeve)

  • Banana (Bread) Pudding – that could be lunch right?
  • Vegetables from Canada vs USA Gold Game party
  • Leftover sour cream, cheese, and bacon bits in bowls in the fridge
    • Grab potato to microwave for lunch (Healthy & nutritious- not really, but I didn’t feel like a shake today!)
  • Meat…mmm…not happening for this meal – as nothing is “convenient!

Notice leftover coffee sitting in pot

  • Nuke (microwave) for 1 min
  • Add milk & sugar to the go mug

Grab my Arbonne bag of makeup

  • For my 1 on 1 consultation today

Walk into our garage

  • Admire my sparkling clean car
    • Spent 3 hours Sunday working on with John
      • Hand waxing the outside to vacuuming the inside!

Turn on my car CD player to a Learn & Burn Arbonne track

  • Completed pumped up after listening to fellow Arbonne consultant train for 20 minute drive           

Get to my office

  •  Turn on my iPod to my “Amazing” play list

Power Hour

  • Plow through 1staction step of my day at the Lethbridge College for my current contract
    • (I started a new one – will share more soon!)

Got brain wave – take 5 minute sidetrack

  • Type 17 points that immediately came to mind to brainstorm idea

Another power hour

  • Attack action step #2

Take break for 10 minutes

Finish action step #2

  • 30 mins into 3rd Power Hour – phone call interrupts momentum
    • Start action step #3
      • Flying through list today!

Decide to throw this blog post together

  • For sheer entertainment
    • Probably for myself more than anything
      • I can look back & laugh at how crazy I am later!

Back to reality!! Lots more to attack today – the day is young ;)

Here’s to a productive, amazingly fun day.

Live Inspired,
Robyn

Preparing my Signature

August 25, 2009 By Robyn 6 Comments

I’ve been working a lot on my “signature speech“ for my upcoming speaking engagements this fall! Anytime the creative juices start flowing – I focus all my energy on writing, practicing, and visualizing what the final product is going to look like. I work in multiple places, wherever I’m comfortable and focused! The amazing pink iPod my sweet friends gave me, has really came in handy to cut the background noise and distractions out from around me. The selfie below was captured at the Calgary Airport, after I dropped John off one day. When you’re in the groove, you have to take advantage! I look forward to recording some of my material, so you can experience my message and passion for life.

Singing Out Loud

July 26, 2009 By Robyn 7 Comments

Hope you’ve had an amazing weekend!

My marvelous husband’s Star Birthday is tomorrow and I gave him his gift early ;)

apple-ipod-nano-blue

(Thank goodness for our Costco rebate check – I could treat him!)

John has been talking about an iPod for a while. He LOVES music (and thinks I should be able to identify the artist and name of song on que – however that is part of the “opposite” skills that brought our relationship together!). My auctioneer hubby also wanted to upload clips from sales he’d done to learn from and improve. Always learning…that’s what life is all about.

Thanks to my beautiful friends Tam & Nolan – I was surprised with an iPod Shuffle a few weeks ago!

Our friends Johnny and Jen kindly shared their playlists with us while they were here. So John had a HUGE head start to his library of music. He has honestly been so addicted to iTunes for the past 1 1/2 days. I love it – he’s so excited to learn everything. John was busy compiling music for his work trip tomorrow with his new toy. I wanted to spend time with him – so I made myself at home next time surfing the net.

iTunes

I had no idea John was going to get so many hours of entertainment out of this present! Out of nowhere John informs me he’s going to mow the lawn. When I turned to look at him – he was so cute!!

HappyHubby

I was doing some things inside when I hear this loud voice singing away. I thought it was the computer still playing iTunes but no – it was John! He was outside mowing and just givener!!

Ha ha – I’m laughing WITH! It was amazing to hear my hubby’s voice singing out loud with the music on his new iPod.

SingingMower

That’s what life is all about. Sing like no one is listening ;)
