Today marks the halfway point for many of us. I haven't been posting on a regular basis, because I've been busy watching my life process unfold and it's been so cool to experience! I've been riding high most of the time and just generally feeling good.
My intentions this season were more process oriented than product oriented, but even so, I've seen changes and manifestations. In the past, when I've started doing something and then gotten sidetracked, it's usually been fatal. It seems that -- a…

Day 25???
I'm not going to say "Where did the time go?" because I know exactly where the time went. I am a bit surprised, however, to find that I haven't posted since Day Seven. It was never my intention (no pun intended!) to go this long without posting. Although not listed as a formal goal on my home page, I had thought I would post at least once a week to help keep me on track. As you can see, that hasn't happened.
So, what have I been doing since Day Seven? For the most part, I've been kee…

I probably ought to be posting more often, just to help me keep my focus and attention where it needs to be. But, like everyone else in the world, I've been incredibly busy. I mean BUSY with almost no time to call my own. I really don't like it when my life gets like this -- I tend to be more reactive and less responsive, less deliberate about my choices and activities. I've been doing really good about staying on point with the Challenge, though, despite my busy schedule.
I'm the treasurer (re…

Hello, all you Beautiful Co-Creators!
Today was a great day for me. I've not been feeling my best for several days, but today I felt significantly better and more energized. I think it had something to do with starting my Season Two! Today was actually the best day I've had in a while. I spent significant time hanging out with a friend and I talked to my
best friend on the phone tonight. I got my intentions set for the Challenge and made tim…

It's been so long since I posted, that I'm tempted to skip it! However, I feel the need to say something about Season One before I start Season Two! Participating in the Challenge was a pretty amazing experience for me. I wasn't as active toward the end as I would have liked to have been, but I still benefited from the experience. I was so much more present during my day and more focused -- that in itself made the experience worthwhile, even if I didn't get anything else out of it.
I think my "…

I won't do this often -- but this is a copy of a blog post on
The Boundless Living Challenge. I just don't have the energy to write a completely original post for this site as well. I think I'll even use this exact same post on my personal blog!
I had the most amazing day today! It combined two of my great loves -- teaching and art. If my husband had been a part of it (he's out of town on a business trip this week-end), it would have…

Hello, hello!
As I mentioned in my last post, I've had some significant creative time recently. I thought I'd share some scans of what I've been up to with you. I hope you enjoy them!
This is a small piece, 5x7- on gallery-wrapped canvas. This mixed-media piece features multiple…

Hello, dear Co-Creators!
I know I've been a little remiss in my attention to the CCOR community the past couple of weeks. I'm also doing
The Boundless Living Challenge, and since it's shorter, what little attention I've been paying to challenges and such have gone to it, although I've been away from there for awhile, too. I just haven't felt a part of things lately. In my last post, I told you that I was struggling with a lot of nega…

Hello, beautiful Co-creators!
I've been away from CCOR for a few days. I haven't been feeling myself -- physically or emotionally -- and I didn't trust myself to visit people's sites and leave comments, etc. Mostly because I've been riding an emotional roller coaster for the past several days. I haven't really trusted myself to express my thoughts and feelings very well. I've been crying for what appears to be no reason, engaging in a bit of negative self-talk, and I've been in a great deal of…

Today has been a grand day. First of all, I slept in after staying up really late reading
The Artist's Way last night. It's a great book and a good, spiritual plan for unblocking creative issues. As you probably realize, I need some of that kind of help just now. I even got up this morning (barely -- it was 11:39 AM!) and did "mor…

I had the most wonderful day. I spent about seven hours with a dear friend, learning how to make a stained-glass box. Diane did most of the hard work -- cutting and grinding the glass -- but she explained and demonstrated every step of the way. I feel pretty confident that I could do both next time. I did most of the foil taping and most of the soldering. I wish I had a picture of the box to show you, but I don't have a good digital camera and I'm not sure it would scan!
It felt really good to…

I was talking to a friend earlier this evening -- I'm so grateful for the unlimited long distance telephone calling that came with my cable package! We were talking about the emotional movement that has been happening since we started the challenge. One of the things that has come up for me is purpose/passions. This is probably somewhat aggravated by the reading of Eckhart Tolle's…

I just hung up the phone from the Launch Call for
The Boundless Living 45-Day Challenge, facilitated by Bob Doyle. I hesitated to take on a challenge within the 100 Day Reality Challenge, but I'm loving this one so much that I thought, "Why not?" The Boundless Living Challenge is a one-time opportunity; it's not like the CCOR that has revolving start dates and different "seasons". Doyle's challenge will begin on Sunday, 20 July, and end on 04 Septemb…

This will sound trivial to some people, but to a diabetic, this is pretty important! My husband and I were out, on our way to a restaurant when I had a diabetic low. My blood sugar just bottomed out, and I got very shaky. I needed to eat NOW, not in the 20-30 minutes it would take us to get food to our table. I took a glucose tablet, but what I really needed was food -- carbs to be exact. Well, we got to
Famous Dave's and sat down and someone brought us…

Hello, beautiful Co-Creators!
I was talking with
Dreamer on the phone a couple of hours ago and we both agreed that since we started the Challenge, we are both feeling more "on the leading edge" than we've ever felt before. Abraham talks about how we are living on the leading edge of thought, but to be honest, I've never felt that; I've just taken their word for it. But today, I feel it.
Even though I'm only eight days into my C…

Hello, my Co-Creating friends! Here I am, a week into the Challenge, so I thought it time to take stock.
I'm pretty pleased with how things are going. I've been meditating every day, and most days that's gone really well. Today, however, I had a really hard time quieting my body, and therefore my mind. I experienced all those twitches and itches that I've experienced in the past. I bet I couldn't go three minutes without moving or scratching! So different from most of my meditation experiences…

Today was another quiet day, which is allowing me to slowly ease my way into my practices for the 100 Day Reality Challenge. I know me well -- if I take on too much at once, I'll get overwhelmed and quit. But this is happening slowly, so it feels as though it's going to stick.
I had already started working out at the YMCA again a couple of weeks ago, and continue to strive for three times a week as my goal. I'm working my way up to 30 minute sessions. I had also already started writing in my gr…

I've been so excited for a couple of weeks about today, and then I'm off to a slow start. But that's okay. Today was a quiet day, despite the fireworks that scared our cats while we were out to dinner.
My husband usually works evenings, but today he worked the mid-shift. His change in schedule precipitated a change in my schedule, so I was feeling a little off today. I talked to my mother and a friend from Arkansas on the phone today and worked on my practices for the day. So far, I've done my…
