Wow! I'm almost at the half way point of my challenge. Time to reflect on how my intentions are shaping up. I'll start with the writing. My intention was to write, write, write on my book. So far, so good. I started Nanowrimo on the 1st of this month but I've pretty much given up on hitting my word count goal. I'm not good with the pressure of a deadline. I could never be a journalist! It's like the thought of having to write a specific piece, paralyzes me. But thanks to some new perspective fro…

I stayed up late last night waiting for the election results and I was shocked and overwhelmed by the flood of emotions that came over me. I cried like an infant for so many reasons.
I cried for my 11 year old self who wanted to go to a school dance with Jonathan Noble only to hear the next day through gossip that his mom wouldn't let him go to the dance with a nigger.
I cried for my 17 year old self who went to my senior prom with my first black boyfriend only to have the traditional prom video…

This season has been off to a slow start for me. Taking a couple of months off between seasons is not something I will do again. It's been mostly about getting back to basics for me. Retraining my mind. Refocusing. I did some powerful affirmations yesterday. I could actually feel the power of them! It was invigorating.
I release all resistance to becoming who I was meant to be in the world.
I release all resistance to creating financial wealth in my life.
I release all resistance to finishing…

Already I have had some wonderful 'little' manifestatios. As I may have mentioned before, we moved out of state and left all of our belongings in a storage building in Louisiana. So we had to start from scratch on a very limited budget. Needless to say, I have been a frequent shopper at garage sales for the past 2 months. We have all of the necessities, but there are lots of little comfort items that I have been desperately missing. So, a couple of days ago, I mentioned to my daughter that I rea…

I have spent the past week and a half just really trying to zone in on the life I want to create for myself. Trying to narrow it down. As I learned in my first season, it's so easy to be all over the place in this challenge. Which isn't necessarily bad, I still created some wonderful experiences and gathered heaps of faith and belief in a loving and supporting universe. But I want to be more focused this time. I don't have the whole picture yet, but it is definately becoming clearer. Here are so…

I'm starting my season 2 over today! And I'm very excited by the possibilities!
I would like to start this with a dedication to a fellow co-creator that passed away this summer. Her name was Sandi and she started the Allowing Positivity group.http://100days.ning.com/profile/Sandi She was married to my ex-husband and she died suddenly in her sleep, leaving behind a 3 year old son and a 14 year old daughter and a 12 year old stepdaughter(my Whitney). She was a devoted mother, wife , and friend and…

Today is my day 17 of season 2.
I have made this season all about releasing weight and it has opened the floodgates of my emotional baggage. When I started telling the universe that I was ready to find out WHY I was binge eating and holding onto these 50 extra pounds, all of my STUFF started to come up. And this time, I'm not numbing my emotions with nutty bars.
I really had a breakthrough yesterday. I was able, for the first time, to distinguish between a feeling of hunger and a feeling of anxi…

"Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." –- Miriam Beard
We made it to Seattle today!! And although my daughter has delighted in the scenery along the way, and been in awe of the beautiful places we have slept in, today delivered what I have been hoping for. When we descended that hill and she saw Seattle for the first time, I saw that spark in her eyes. That glimmer of discovery. She realized today that there is more t…

Well yesterday was 14 hours in the car. But it was 14 hours of the most breathtaking scenery that I have ever seen. Driving through the Rocky Mountains is something I now believe every American should do. It was magnificent and awe inspiring. What a way to test the concepts I have been reading about in A New Earth. It was almost overwhelming. I stopped often, just to take it all in more fully. It was a day of reflection and birthing of new ideas and intentions. Whitney and I didn't talk much, sh…

Today was a fabulous day! We drove out of Kansas, through Colorado and the majestic Rocky Mountains and into Cheyenne, Wyoming for the night. The scenery in Colorado was breathtaking! We started to drive through the mountains just as the sun was setting. This was our first time to see the Rockies and it was Whitney's first time to see snow. We have been in true road trip gear today, singing to the top of our lungs and dancing wholeheartedly to Fergilicious. I am getting to know my daughter in a…

Well we left yesterday morning at 6:30 a.m with $880, plenty of snacks(including ramen noodles,lol), and a truckload of faith and excitement. We wrote out our intentions for the day in our notebook.
1. Money comes to us today in expected and unexpected ways.
2. We arrive at the castle safely and on time.
3. Today is the most fun day of our lives
I know you are all expecting some wild adventure story, but I'm afraid I can not endulge you with such a tale. The truth is that yesterday I was grumpy…

Here I am on day 80 on this challenge and I find that I had gotten really off track. I was reading so much material and learning so many new concepts and making so many changes, that somewhere along the way my brain started to turn to mush and my body starting ringing alarm bells. Whoa!! Slow down!! Hold Up!! Which way are we going here!? I developed a head cold, an earache, a sore throat, mouth ulcers. Yeah I became a mess this past week. But Luckily, I have my handy dandy Louise Hay book, You…

Well, I had the workshop for the girls at my house Saturday and IT WAS GREAT!!!! But let me give you a little background because this was a HUGE test for me in so many ways. First of all, I only invited 8 girls. And one of the parents of the girls that we invited wouldn't let her daughter come because she says that I am into witchcraft.LOL! Not only that, but she took the liberty of calling another mom and urging her not to let her daughter come for that same reason. Now, let me just say, that i…

I am having a magnificent morning. Today I started my day by listening to Louise Hay's Power Thoughts. I am so thankful for my daughters ipod,lol! I just sat there weeping as I listened and felt the residue of old thinking just washing away with each new wave of loving thoughts. I am still in the shock and awe phase of my process, just amazed at how much goodness and beauty that I had shut out of my life.
Being bathed in all of that love brought to mind an old memory.When I was a child, about 10…

Here is where I have been struggling. I have the hardest time focusing! But let me pause to interject this statement- I am not going to harp on my hardships, but for the sake of not hiding them, shoving them under the rug and just hoping that they will disappear, I am going to state them out loud and turn them over to God(the universe, whatever you prefer). Ok, Focus. One of my intentions on day 1 was to be able to harness all of my energy and thoughts into a few specific areas so that I could s…

I have started reading the Oprah book club selection, A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and it is truly, an eye opener. I am reading it slowly, taking small bites, trying to digest it. I have actually stopped at chapter 4 so that I could go back and reread some of chapter 3 where he discusses the core of the ego. It is just mind blowing, literally, to realize the illusion of self that I had accepted. I recognize these patterns that he talks about, in myself. Particularly the part about the ego that n…
