I don't have any pictures but it was lovely. I went there feeling seriously hurt and sad, but I pulled out of it and left feeling joyous. My kids had a good time and all I can say for certain is that I want to go back.

Ex and I have separated for good and I feel wonderfully perfect about it. I know with every ounce of my being that this is right!
I have closure and lots to look forward to in the future.

Finding a soul mate, partner and true love is a very important goal of mine and has been since my first challenge over a year ago. Now I have my ex boyfriend back in my life and crazy in love with me and I am not even really sure how I feel about it.
I will start out stating some positive things about my bf so I can make sure this is fair:
-He is handsome, kind, considerate, patient, hardworking, funny, and creative.
-He knows my children and does whatever he can to help them. He genuinely wa…

I am going to add more practices to achieve my goals.
1. I need to increase and improve my Buddhist practice. I have been chanting about 75% of my mornings and evenings and lately, alone. I will seek out people to chant with and increase my time to a minimum of 15 minutes.
2. I will center and ground myself again. I want to be balanced and happy regardless of whether I am getting along with my boyfriend. I have already made huge leaps in this area in just one day. I hate to state that maybe I…

I seriously think I must be the luckiest woman on earth. My boyfriend is my best friend, makes me laugh all day long, loves to do the fun things, and smart, successful, and handsome.
This has been an amazing journey. I left him because he was so messed up and began changing myself just to go forward with my own life, never expecting that he would change or even that he could change. I have just decided to say "Thank You Universe for this wonderful, generous, surprise! I accept and will treat yo…

This week i have had a little bit of free time so I have been focusing on finding ways to get healthy again.
Here is what I am doing:
I go to the gym every day. Each time I go I step up my cardio workout a little bit more. I am so excited about this because exercise has been the single most effective healthy habit in my life. Even in times when I was doing everything else wrong, I think the working out and going to the steam room was one of the only things holding me together. I made the choic…

My sister and I started to focus 40 days on developing new positive habits and the one I am focus on with her is morning and evening prayer. I decided that this would be a good part of a bigger 100 day reality challenge so I am going to do some updating of my profile over the next couple of days.
So, today I wanted to find out about laser lipo suction and went to an appointment. I lost my enthusiasm for it when I realized that is was 10,000 and there are so many other areas of my life that stil…

I have been going through a really rough time lately. It feels like my heart has been put through meat grinder. Everything that made me so happy a few weeks ago is gone. First I miscarried the child I was carrying- maybe it was for the best but it is still a loss and sometimes I focus on the very most painful moment of the whole experience and burst out crying.
I also got back together with my ex-boyfriend and was blissfully happy until I had the rude awakening that there are still problems in…

This is a very serious blog post but one of the strongest and happiest that I have made in a long time.
I faced some dark hours recently. Kinds of feelings that I barely recognized because it had been so long since I had felt helpless like that. Certain moments looked so bad that I just had to remind myself "Faith". Sometimes I just said to myself "Faith" and remembered that just beyond the curtain of illusions is something beautiful and in my life sometimes at the eleventh hour it reveals itse…

As I mentioned, I have reached my original goal of making a comfortable living. It is a huge step upward from a few years ago when I couldn't even take the kids or myself to the doctor, and buying them clothes as they grew was a strain.
Now things are good, but I want things to be even better. I have been praying, visualizing, intending for great abundance and dramatically increased flow of money into my life, enough to do the things that will really make me fully happy and independent.
When I…

My life is pretty good today! I have many reasons to be grateful as my life has transformed from what it was in past years. I am continuing to make efforts to improve and am getting even more ambitious.
I like to repeat this to give encourage others; I have achieved all the goals I started out to achieve three years ago when I started practicing Buddhism and applying universal laws.
Here are some things that have manifested;
- I have a friendship with my ex that helps us to be better parents,…

I went through and edited all my goals for this season with comments about my progress this morning but because I used <> those kind of brackets, I must have made some kind of html code that made it invisible. That is ok, as I am the only one really keeping track of that..
I want to beautify my life more. I want to tap into my artistic/creative side as much as possible and have done a few things this season to move in that direction. I have a new bed, bed frame and wall hanging in my room…

I stumbled upon a site with hypnosis downloads and decided to try a few. The first ones are a test, but if they work well I plan to get lots of them, just like I did with the Brainsync and the subliminal messages.
I have experienced so many benefits from listening to meditations and subliminal recordings. It is clear that my life has improved dramatically and many habits have changed and circumstances altered.Finally understanding and believing all these good things about myself makes it really…

Some friends were going to be down the street last night so I agreed to finally get out and have some fun. However, when I got to the restaurant it turned out to be just two couples and they were finishing up diner at a tiny little table for four. I told them I would wait for them at the bar, because from there we had plans to go dancing. Ok. Here's where it gets good.
I sit down at the bar order a beer and within a few minutes I ran into a male acquaintance/friend. I say acquaintance because I…

Hi everyone.
I have been working a lot so I haven't had time to post much but things continue to go well. Work continues to go well and I am very pleased at how well my sister and I work together and how much I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment at finishing a project. I also absolutely love working from home and being able to spend time with my children. So many things are going well- things that just a couple of years ago were a source of unhappiness are now sources of joy. All this is thank…

I am going to redecorate my room and I am going to buy myself a new mattress. I will find a good deal I am sure because there is a mattress store two parking lots over from my house so I will easily put it on top of my car. I am going to redecorate my room putting quite a bit of my own creative energy into it. I am going to have a really nice, really cool bedroom, or at least as cool as can be with a little flat screen tv/monitor and and nice cozy bed with brand new fresh energy. I would practic…

It is a beautiful day and I have been out and about running errands.
I wanted to stop in to the art supply store and buy painting supplies but I realized that that would take some time that I don' t have so I put it off again. My intention is to do a painting that I actually display in my room. I love flowers and I used to love painting flowers when I was a child... I know I will still love it.
The other thing I want to do is to buy some kind of "learn to sing" program. I do actually sing and…

I wrote this in a notebook and have been holding in my mind as my deepest intention.
"I make my primary cause in life helping others to be happier and more successful. I place this purpose above all else and in return for my intention the Universe grants my wishes and blesses me with an abundance of love, wealth, joy, and happiness. Everyone I know will benefit from their association with me."
I have been holding that in my heart and mind and using it as an internal navigator, and constantly r…

I have decided to devote two hours a day to creative endeavors for the duration of the challenge. Considering the amount of work I have to do, that is a lot of time but I will be doing these things from home as my form of recreation, and in the case of a dance video, my exercise too. I really don't like to leave the house much in the winter time so this will work well for me. By the time spring rolls around I hope to have tapped in to a whole new side of myself.
So today I have lots of work to…
