I finished my Sociology class tonight. Myself and 5 other people did a presentation on pollution as a social problem, and we all did a great job. We got heavy applause when we were done.
It reminded me how important our efforts in using alternative energy individually are. It is so easy and so cost efficient to switch to solar and wind energy. You save so much money and you can still run your house the same way as normal. A mixture of wind and solar energies will keep you from being on "the gri…

Today is day eleven and I haven't written anything this week. I apologise.
It's been a mixture of exhaustion, other responsibilities, enjoying life and, I'm sad to say, lack of motivation.
Work has been pretty good all week. There's still some negative energy floating about, but I'm coming to accept that some people are just like that, I won't let it effect me.
I've made some real gains in my weight goal, so that's coming together nicely. :-)
I've really been struggling to keep concentration…

This week felt triumphant because I was able to meet some major goals as well as see a light at the end of the tunnel for some challenges that I have been working through.
The first goal I met was getting back in school. I was concerned because I owed so much money with my previous university and I didn't know where the money was going to come from. It seemed like many of my options just fell away before my eyes, and I was getting really discouraged. When I let it go, I saw that my previous uni…

'k.
I had to do this because I've argued with my mother sometimes.
The positive qualities of my mother:
1. She always means well.
2. She forgives.
3. She does a lot of things for me.
4. She allows me to basically do what I want.
5. She tries to make me laugh.
6. She works hard.
7. I can wake her in the middle of the night and she'll still want to help me with whatever.
8. She can be very understanding.
9. She is willing to listen to my endless rambling about nothing.

Today is Sunday, the last day of Season 8 of my 100 Day Reality Challenge. Wow, what a ride.
I feel peaceful and calm this morning. I have realized that I have been chasing money for these past two seasons instead of really enjoying where I am. I am taking 100% responsibility for doing that and separating myself from my family constantly to hammer away at making money. This is not the way I want abundance.
I have accomplished 4 of my 12 intentions, and they were major things. I attended my com…

Tomorrow is my Day 100, so I will leave my recap for tomorrow. I've posted and reposted my intentions about a million times and I think they really need to be revamped lol. I'm not prepared to do that now.
The purpose of this blog post is to come to terms with where I am right now so that I can leave my scarcity mindset behind in gratitude for what I have learned in this season. I am taking responsibility for the first step in moving forward to a place of inner peace and inner contentment, wher…

As I go over my intentions for this season, I am seeing that some are so big and multifaceted that I need to break them up into smaller steps in order to accomplish them successfully. Some of my intentions I have accomplished, however, some are partly accomplished and still have lose ends, like graduating for example. I walked the stage for commencement, but I still have to take 1 last class to get my degree, and that requires other things.
I have gained a tremendous amount of confidence in my…

The perfect layout and color to my TamaraRasheed.com website (under construction) came to me today! WHEE!!
I'm so thrilled. When I got the color and the website just fell into place, I almost felt like I was going to cry. I felt so much relief, like my efforts to find myself have all culminated into this very moment. I know it sounds very dramatic, but I've been working on a website for myself for years, and it has never come out like this.
I started yet another blog site on Blogger.com this t…

Argh!
I had typed almost 30 titles to these articles before I went to bed last night, and accidentally didn't recover the file with the titles in it. =\ I have to write them all again from scratch 'cause I don't remember what they were. LOL. Oops.
I am so tired of article writing I could die. LOL. I love to write, don't get me wrong, but it takes SO much of my time for SO little money, and it really has become excruciating. I make $150 per month doing this... and while I am grateful for the ga…

I feel it is a good time to go over my intentions for this season so that you know where I am.
1) Grow my credit coaching business and meet a monthly money goal.
I have started work on my website, and I have ordered business cards to promote my coaching business.
My best friend is helping to promote it through his circle. He says he has several people lined up, and I am just waiting to have consultations with them.
I have started putting together client profiles and revamping my free credit cl…

I've had a lot of fun since last weekend, which is really great. I got to go to the Summer Jazz Fest in Inkster, MI on Saturday and Sunday, and I started dating a guy that I really enjoy being around. It feels really different to talk to someone who doesn't have the usual flaws that my regular dating pattern has lol. That's good and bad, right?
I loved my horoscope today from TwittaScope. I will share it with you:
"It feels as if you have something to hide, but your new open book policy wins o…

I've been turning that question over in my mind for a while, and I basically know that I want to do two things:
1. Prevent myself from looking "easy" by having sex too soon
2. Be sure that the person I am doing that with sticks around so that we can have something meaningful
I typed that question into Google and it pulled up this forum:

I thought the answers were pretty interesting, and the general consensus seemed to be that you do what…

It's been a little bit since I've blogged last, and I have to say that I've been having a lot of fun over this past week.
I've had some unfortunate things happen in my life, yes, but it has blossomed into a beautiful, calm, peaceful and happy procession in my home. I am being looked at as a mother figure in my house from my sisters, and I am receiving a lot of respect. There isn't any anger or hostility or nonsense brewing anywhere, and things are sailing smoothly along. I am asking the Univers…

On my way to this previously blank blog page, I have received the most intense inspired thought to begin creating and pushing my image as a Life Coach for credit development lol. I'm just all full up with it! I've been looking over my goals and intentions, and I have all of the tools that I need to set that in motion right away. I think I am going to get started, and I'm going to start building my website right away.
You know, since I've been posting videos and blogs on the 100 Day Reality Chal…

It's been a hectic week emotionally and mentally, but I'm pulling through it. Child Protective Services should have contacted my mom today. I more than likely will not hear about it personally, but my siblings might. She's not talking to me, of course.
I petitioned for guardianship of my 16 year old sister yesterday, we have a court date on July 30th. I hope that my siblings come out to support me. My mom mentioned to my younger brother that she was going to ask my oldest brother to take custod…

These last two days have been very rough on me emotionally, mentally and physically. I found out that my mother's husband has been touching my 18 year old sister (she turned 18 in May) inappropriately for several months now - she called my sister hysterically crying. I picked her up and my 16 year old sister from my mother's home IMMEDIATELY upon hearing this on Monday and brought them to my house. This man picked up my 16 year old sister from school and I had to wait for him to arrive. I had th…

Well, there's always something going on in the world of Tamara, and the latest "goings-on" involves paying my previous balance at school so that I can register for my August 17th class.
This is the last class that I have to take before I get my degree in the mail. I will be done with NYIT and my Bachelors of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Studies.
I have 3 challenges:
1: The 180 day deadline that will not allow me to get my degree from NYIT, but will require me to reapply to their "Ellis Un…
