Well 100 days have come and gone. Feels like forever ago that I found this group somewhat out of desperation. Yet 100 days didn't seem like enough time to truly change my thinking and build the life that I want. Well was it enough?
Surprisingly, for the most part, yes. My goals were to find love (aka my partner in crime), move from where I am living in the mountains of NY and find work that I care about.
Wellll, I started out wanting to get back together w/my ex, bc I had never really loved an…

As I move through my first 100 days I feel like I want to reexamine what it is I am after in this life and challenge. I waiver between wanting to partner up and settle down and continuing to be free in the way I live my life, jumping at whatever opportunities come my way.
What I truly want is both. I love that I'm not tied down in terms of a job and whatever it is that keeps people in the same place for decades. Lease, mortgage, kids? When I decided to extend the vacation I was on last month, t…

I'm back from the Galapagos, this trip began with a dream about diving in February, followed by an invite to join this dive group the very morning I woke up from the dream. I didn't know what would come of it (still don't) but I knew I was meant to go. The trip was strange, beginning with a karmic meeting in Miami.
My first two flights were delayed and they lost my luggage, causing me to miss my flight to Galapagos and the boat I was getting on to dive. I have traveled the world over more than…

The biggest difference in me now and when I began this journey is my perspective. I used to have such concrete ideas of how things should be done. The right way to live. Things I would do or not do. People I would date, befriend or not. I set limits to everything. Jobs that were acceptable: corporate yes, wait staff decidedly no. Age ranges for my partner, my age or 2-3 years older, friends could be a few years in either direction. Clubs = trashy. Tini-bars = yay. Beer, oh. G and t, of course…

So, because I was out working on my apartments for four days solid, I slacked on my intentions and affirmations and boy did I notice a big difference. My thoughts were decidedly more negative and I kept expecting people to be annoying and what ho!! My plumber, new tenants, city officials and prospective tenants have proved to be annoying. I did catch myself thinking complaints before I actually had anything to complain about but did not stop it entirely. I suppose this is another example of LOA…

Though I have been keeping up with my commitment to myself via meditation, journaling, LOA and CCOR, I have absolutely been slacking when it comes to my every day responsibilities and following through on what the LOA brings me. Earlier in the year I utilized the law of attraction to buy an apartment house that I wanted. But after my closing, instead of remaining focused until all of my apartments were rented (owning apartments isn't that profitable sans tenants!!), I immediately moved my attent…

I had the most wonderful day today. Nothing too out of the ordinary happened, just my reactions I guess. I woke up to a heavy rain that lasted the whole day. Normally I like to read outside and don't like to miss out due to the weather but instead of poo pooing I opened the back door and listened to the birds having a party in the rain, it was really quite sweet.
Waiting for me in my inbox this morning was an email from my ex. I traveled and sailed with him for what felt like a lifetime and I r…

I just got back from a whirlwind weekend of driving from New York to Philadelphia to pick up a friend and then we were off to Boston to see the Volvo boats race. I had a wonderful time, love love love sailing and meeting sailors and their families from around the world was awesome. I lived in Boston for six years and forgot how cute it is. I miss the gardens and being able to walk to everything I could ever want to do. I miss having friends nearby. I miss the cute European architecture, my favor…

Well this week has been a little rough. My emotions have been a bit difficult to control, not weepy or fearful but just a bit uneasy feeling with no obvious cause. Not understanding why I felt like that I found it very difficult to lighten my mood. But I read your blogs and made a happy music playlist (thanks again CreativeConqueror:) and watched bits of A New Earth webcast on oprah.com. It all helped and today I've felt positive and motivated and actually got more accomplished than expected.
W…

For two days now I've been feeling uneasy and haven't been able to pinpoint why. When I focus on my breathing or the life in me I feel calmer but the feeling has come back both days. When I tried to meditate this morning I didn't feel confident enough to visualize anything, didn't want to try while feeling negatively and I couldn't focus enough to talk myself out of this mood. UGH!!!
Well I suppose I feel better writing this down and I can see that this isn't really anything to be bothered abou…

Hello all!
Yesterday I tried the Abraham-Hicks method of delegating to your manager. I made a list of things I would do that day (even if they weren't relevant to my goals) and then I asked my manager to take care of two things that I knew I couldn't do. One was to send me good tenants.
Well it worked that very same day! Even though I didn't attempt everything on my own list it seems. I have two showings scheduled for today. I wonder if I should be more clear and say quiet, responsible, respec…

Seven days into this challenge and I feel like I've had the greatest "aha moment" of my life. Yesterday I watched the Secret. I had seen it a year or so ago but didn't really take it seriously. I didn't doubt the message but the people in the video turned me off at the time. Since then I feel like I've dropped interest in judging people/things and this time I kept having "aha moments" and "ooh ooh, I know that's true"!!! I've also been reading "The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent" by Abraham-…

Holy cow I'm entrenched in the past! I definitely would not have noticed if it were not for re-reading my blog and comments. My reactive excuse is that I reference the past because those experiences are what led me to discover the lessons I'm now trying to live. But as I read on I realize that I've made the past into my story.
New goal: Work each day to live fully in the now. Let go of my history, accept my reality as it is and design the fun, joyful future that I know is mine! I've made this g…

Day three of this journey has had me thinking about where I began this chapter, feeling pretty contemplative indeed. This past year has been the most difficult of my life. Yet in every moment no matter how low, I was met with everything I needed to climb back to a place where I could at least see happiness on the horizon. I didn't always believe it would come tomorrow, but the day after? Why not?
Books that were relevant to my needs were already on my bookshelf. Funny, I hadn't noticed them bef…

100 days to change my life? YAY! So long poopy attitude, not sure where you came from but you won't be missed. Hello sweet fantabulous luck! Well to be honest even in my darkest hours I've still been pretty damn fortunate, but a reunion party is in order no doubt.
Life is a funny thing. I went from sailing and diving my way around the world with the most sweet, wonderful, amazing, man...to poo pooing on a couch in upstate new york. Not very exciting or fun. I've been here for 16 months (10 of t…
