- About Me:
This picture captures my personality better than I could ever put into words.
I'm a twenty one year old college freshmen, still living at my parents house. I've been dating the same loving man for the past four years and he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I need to learn how to treat him better, how to love him fully and let him love me fully like he has been trying to for the past six years. (Complicated story there, but then, the best ones always are) I need to learn how to trust him and how to show him he can trust me. I know that it is only then that our relationship can move on into eternity together.
I have been going to school/college for the past three years, give or take, and I still feel like a failure in everything I try to do there. This is what is plaguing me most as I write this(10.7.08) so it is difficult to be positive about it. I know that if I can learn to be positive about myself and my ability to succeed, I will succeed and I can do it. The part I am struggling with (and have been since I was in first grade) is the part between where I am now and where I want to be. I think I am manifesting negative outcomes for myself by not believing in myself and being so focused on failure.
Lets see... the last thing on my mind is my family. I've always been close to my family and I am incredibly grateful for that. However, I think because of that closeness (read as dependency) I have let their problems become my problems. My parents divorced when I was two and were having affairs before I was even born. I think this is a big part of my fear of commitment. Then my step dad is very removed and angry and he retreats to his cave (his bedroom and the newspaper) My mother has been an alcoholic and drug addict most of my life, only recently stopping drinking to avoid legal problems and avoiding losing her job. Lastly, my older brother was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder about a year and a half ago and since then life has been very different. After his diagnosis, I learned a lot about the disease and realized that I have a different form of bi-polar, mine more prone for depression while his is prone towards mania. (Hence why I'm up at four am) So that is something I want to think about and understand and fix in myself.

100 Day Challenge Season One Day Zero
I'm starting over. I've just had the realization that my life is so good and worth working for. I know, this is something you probably already knew, but I keep forgetting. So tomorrow, a day which is already filled with new and exciting changes, is my day one again.
What's going on tomorrow?
I start my classes for my new semester, a semester which will blow all of the others out of the water, a semester in which I prove to myself and the world that I am going to be the greatest teacher the wor… Continue

An inspiring e-mail I've decided to "forward" to all of you
Cory's Mom, who has never sent me an e-mail before, sent me the following this morning. How amazing that people who don't even know about all these changes in my life and this new path I am on are sending me thoughts and energy and things to help me. Thank you God.

A cool thing happened...
...this morning while I was in the shower. I have all of my music that is on this computer, a wimpy total of 1584 songs, playing on shuffle as my alarm. Today, I brought my computer into the bathroom, so I could dance around and sing like a goof after everyone else had left the house. It's all on random and I haven't done anything to fix it. Which is why it was so weird that these two songs, the second of which I'm not sure I've ever even heard, came on back to back.

Sharing a couple reflections I've had AND I need some relationship advice (in the middle)(sorry it's so long)
Hi again,
WELL, I really do suck at this whole blogging/thinking about this everyday. Well, that's not true, most days this does come into my mind, and most of those days, it's a positive thought and I'm not beating up on myself about neglecting my blog, this group, all of you guys, but mostly myself.
I think today is day 39??? That's crazy!! It feels like I just started and it's already more than a third over. Well, that's not true, only this season is a third over, there's countless seasons… Continue

how could I have forgotten to include - I got my first and very very cool Christmas present - a wool scarf patterned after Tom Baker's Dr. Who!!!
and for those of you unfamiliar with the good doctor's scarf...
So, if you've created something highly unpleasant like meeting a murderer, being abused, dunno something really serious like that also hard to get over and trough how do you undo it? How do you release it and create something new?
If Dr.Dyer has been practicing LOA as well as other spiritual things how can his body be in DIS-EASE which means that the energy is blocked or not flowing well? It's strange, one one side we seem to have control, be able to attract what we need and…
Also with the best wishes toward Dr.Dyer who is my FAVORITE....I suspect he will affect outcomes...
We cant practice our healthy practices and eat well and exercise enough to live forever... At least at this time...lollllllll We can definately affect longetivity and outcomes and cures in some cases but it is inevitable that we are going to die...…
So cool! Thanks for sharing your observations!
Remember that none of us will escape death....
I appreciate the strange experiences I've had yesterday. I appreciate the mystery in my life. I appreciate my sensitivity, my fragility. I appreciate the kind, warm, incredibly sweet people I get to enjoy. I appreciate all the people who have lifted…
