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…

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.

...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.

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…

I've spent my day listening to happy music and being positive and I feel so much better. So I just wanted to share that with everyone here. I hope you are all having good days too and that you are happy! I love you all!

What are some tips for getting motivated to do things you don't want to do? (Schoolwork, those projects I keep putting off, cleaning, etc.)
AND
What are some tips for cheering myself up when I have bad days? (Due to depression, days when everything seems to go wrong, stress, etc.)
I need some serious help with these two topics!! Any sort of coping suggestions, book recommendations, ideas. Please and thank you! I am desperate!

Wow, so I have gotten a daily horoscope in my e-mail for years, for a healthy mixture of shit and giggle and usually they are hokey and vague and could apply to most anyone, but today's was pretty spot on! After my past life experience last night, I got this in my e-mail for tomorrow;
Your horoscope for February 12, 2009

So it's day 28, and I am totally sucking at this whole 100 day challenge thing, but mostly because I am majorly overwhelmed with school and my time management is terrible. BUT, tonight was incredible, and I thought about all of you all night, and I feel so drawn to share my experiences here, so I know that someone is going to learn or grow or get something out of this.
A little under two years ago (I can't believe it's been that long) my brother dated this girl named Beth. I don't think it was…

Well, I've not been writing everyday like I intended, or going to bed at midnight, obviously. Actually, I haven't kept up with most of my goals or practices or intentions. BUT, the one that I have been keeping up with, except for a few bumps here and there, THAT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, is going to all my classes every time, and doing all of my homework. Which is the reason I am up late and will be up for a few more hours tonight. But I'm just stopping by briefly to tell you all I love you and to ask…

Hi Hi Hi!
Blogging from class so I won't be here long but I've been neglecting myself and I really feel the need to write here to get myself back on track!
I have been preoccupied with life and not holding myself up to my standards. I deserve the world served to me on a silver (I don't like gold) platter. School has been stressing me out, I have a lot of work and I kind of suck at time management. But from today forward, I am going to succeed and I am going to get everything done, on time, and…

Hi Dearies!! Man, what a whirlwind of a week. It has been chaos to say the least. I hate to say, but this is the first time I've even felt like coming back here. A combination of sickness, depression and being down on me. I haven't stuck to my goals or practices too well, but I'm back and tomorrow is a new and wonderful day.
A quick recap. As you know, I went to visit my mom's classroom on Thursday to see the kids and all the teacher friends and it was really great and they all gave me cards an…

I forgive myself for yesterday, for sleeping in to late today, for not being as productive as I want to be, for my past mistakes that dwell in my head and bring me down, for mistakes I'll make today and tomorrow, for my fears, for my insecurities, for my faults.
I love myself. Completely and thoroughly, without falter or fail, unconditionally, without exception. I am perfect for me, in every way. I am beautiful, successful and capable. Today is the best day of my life.
Thank you, I'm sorry, I…

Hi friends! Today was chaotic and crazy and I'll write more about it in the morning once my negative thoughts have been cleared and I am able to think rationally and fully understand today. As for now, I'll say my thanks and go to sleep and wake up early for real and have a wonderful day!
I am so so thankful for:
~My mom for being able to deal with me when I get stressed out and for not getting angry back and for understanding. I'm sorry mom, I love you. I'm sorry self, I love you. I forgive y…

Good Evening co-creators! So I didn't get anything done on my to-do list, but you know what, that's okay! I had a really good day, I was happy and productive and not very lazy. Tonight, when I talked on the phone with Cory(my long-distance boyfriend), I got a bit upset at him (he knew what an important day today was and he was so wrapped up in his own thoughts he forgot to ask how my day was) But I was able to keep my emotions in check and assertively(almost, a little passive at first, but it's…

Wow! I am so happy and so excited! This has been such an incredible day so far and it's not even night time yet!! Yay!
I wrote my to do list this morning for the day and the week and after what felt like and was a busy day and a very productive day, I read back over my list and realized that I had not accomplished any of the four things I had written down to do. I guess I had more to do today than I realized!
I spent the morning on me, reading things on here, writing my to-do list, pampering m…

Good Morning!! I am getting more and more excited! I am going to have the best day ever today! I only got about three hours of sleep, but I feel pretty darn good and I have already planned out most of my day which is a sign of improvement already and something I have never really done before. I love this new Rachel! And I'm only going to keep improving.
I have a To-Do list for today and for the rest of the week of things I need to do before Tuesday, when I go back to school. Today is going to b…

Hi Co-Creators! I am a slurry of emotions right now. I'm excited and scared and nervous and happy. I'm also angry and loving, but those aren't about it being day one.
I posted my practices on my front page. Some of them are more important right now than others, but my mini-goal is to be putting each of those practices in everyday by day 30.
Yay! I am excited to be here though with such wonderful people and I'm excited to be growing and learning and feeling so much better than I ever have. I'm…

Hi again everyone! I know I said I was going to write in the morning instead of at night, but one of the things I told myself I would do today was to refine my goals and set out a list of a few things (no more than 10, probably not even that many) that I am going to do everyday to help me get into good new habits and get this ball rolling.
I had a great day today. I was able to wear jeans, (YAY!! for that mini-manifestation) and I finally feel like I'm getting back into being me and feeling bet…
