Boy I am pooped. Sleep deprivation can really make you feel like you're in a slow-motion movie scene. Every time I feel like I'm about to just call it quits and go to sleep even though I still have things to do that are due tomorrow, I somehow find that last bit of energy and just decide to go for it rather than give up. It's a bit painful in the moment, but I'm always glad that I picked myself up from the bootstraps and made it to the finish line. But, I feel like I have 3 new finish lines ever…

Someone posted this blog post about 100 paint chip colors they looked at for 100 days and wrote about it every day. It reminded me very much of what CCOR is all about and I realized I did not actively have a practice that I've been doing every single day for 100 days. Maybe I can do something like this and be inspired by something so simple yet brilliant.
Take a look. Pretty cool.

I've been super busy lately, so I haven't been able to post much, but I wanted to at least share this bit of news since I am so excited about it!
I have been wanting this dog for about a decade now and I finally decided that instead of waiting to reward myself after I paid off all of my debts, that I should fill my life with the things that bring me the most joy now.
I recently heard a quote that said that "True wealth is not measured by the amount of money you have in your bank account, but b…

I find that all of my intentions get erased since I have to update my page every season, so I've decided to put them in my blog so that I can refer to them. Here's my last season's profile and intentions (more for my reference than an actual blog post):
SEASON 3 (5/1/09 - 5/8/09):
I am embarking a new and exciting career change in a new city! I used to work as a consultant and a user experience designer, but now I am pursuing a new career in fashion design. I just moved from Chicago to N…

One idea that I decided to practice during these hundred days is to spend some time each day to open my heart and send my love to at least one person each day. I can do this physically by expressing kindness to those that come across my path, or to say loving words to people who call or email that sound like they need it, or to just pray and meditate, sending beams of love out there to individuals that pop into my mind, my life, or my dreams at night.
Lately I've been having lots of dreams abou…

Hi Everyone,
I know that I've seen some of you talk about 11:11, and Lilou also mentioned it in her book. I thought I'd share an article I ran across today that talks in detail about what 11:11 means. Hope this is helpful!

I am hoping to create a video today to recap my Season 3, but I have a busy day ahead of me, so if it happens, it will be tonight sometime. I think it's Day 100 for many of us, so I'm looking forward to all the videos about the season.
It's pretty amazing how much I've done in the past few days to organize my life. Something came over me and I started quickly working on everything - cleaning, finances, checking things off my to do list, etc.
I'm excited for what lies ahead, but want to spend t…

I feel truly blessed. I saw the number 333 today and just remembered that I saw it over the weekend twice while I was walking down the street. It was an address of a store. I looked it up and this is what it means:

Hello co-creators!
I thought I'd write a little update about some new impulses I've been having lately. I live in an urban apartment with no balcony, but I really feel like I want to create a little vegetable garden for myself indoors! I'm trying to figure out if this is possible. I think it is, but I want to create healthy fresh plants and put them wherever I have windows. Does anyone know anything about indoor gardening? Can you plant seeds at any time of the year, or do you need to plant the…

Hi Co-creators!
Book Sales!
I cannot believe how busy I've been packaging up books and taking them to the post office. I've made 33 book sales since I started posting books late Monday night (it hasn't even been a full 4 days yet). Wow! I really didn't think anyone would be interested in purchasing these books, but Amazon has a lot of traffic. And a couple of the books are textbook prices, so it really helps! I didn't even get one email response on craigslist, but I'm so happy I decided…

I am so happy today. It was the last day of my internship. I ended it short because my intuition was telling me it's time to focus on myself and my life rather than working for someone else. I have learned everything I need to go out on my own. I had the majority of the knowledge already, but the little bit that I was unsure about really kept me from taking that leap. After taking classes and working for the accessories designer, I now feel confident that I can create my own products and create…

I'm making some progress on several areas of my life: health, cleaning, career
Health
I've been cooking some healthy meals and eating more salads this past week. Yey. This is a big step for me since I do not cook regularly and tend to eat out a lot. Ever since I started eating more vegetarian meals, I've been feeling like my body is getting a bit flabbier (erase that thought), so I decided to workout with weights yesterday. I tried to work every muscle group, and didn't work out for very…

Small financial manifestation
Last night, my husband was opening the mail and I received a reimbursement check in the mail. It was only for $27.29, but every little bit counts! It was from a credit card with a clothing company. I must have returned something and had a balance on the account that I didn't use up. Usually it just stays on the card, but I guess it's been long enough that they cut me a check. I am very grateful for all the blessings and abundance that come my way!

Last night I created a video about getting help from the angels. Already, today, I have seen a lot of help coming my way!
1. New Ideas
I recently came up with two product ideas that are easier to create and build a business from than waiting for my fashion design career to take off. I am hoping to build these businesses on the side to generate income to pay for my education, bills and expenses. I almost forgot about one of the ideas until yesterday I started feeling like this was one I s…

1. Learning to Crochet
Earlier this summer, I declared that I wanted to learn how to crochet. And specifically, I wanted to learn how to crochet a flower. I thought it looked nice and just really wanted to learn. I signed up for a crochet class that I ended up having to cancel due to scheduling conflicts with my sister's residency graduation. I was sad, but I let it go and signed up for a knitting class instead.
Last week, towards the end of the class, my teacher asks everyone if anyone…

My grandmother passed away this week. We were expecting it to happen sometime this year, but I was still shocked since I had just visited her a few days before she passed and she was talking and coherent. I started reading the book
Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss while I was in Chicago visiting family and I g…

Today, I realized I was forcing more work upon myself to take a certification exam for a certification that I really had no use for. The only reason I was doing it was to not lose the money I paid to sign up. And the only reason I signed up was because two people had encouraged me to take it, and I thought it might have been a sign for me to take it, without having any particular use or purpose for it. Two days ago, I was trying to reschedule the exam because I knew I didn't have enough time to…

What does it mean when you procrastinate on something? I seem to be doing fine on everything except for this one certification exam that I am supposed to be studying for. It seems like there's an underlying dread in studying for this exam, but I can't seem to pinpoint why. Any ideas? I have been putting off studying, finding other things more priority. Now I'm down to one day to prepare, or begin to prepare...
I tried to reschedule this exam (for the 3rd time), but just found out today that you…

I've seen this number for the past two days in a row. I thought it might have some significance since I also saw this number several times a few weeks ago. I looked it up then, but forgot what it was again, so I looked it up again and thought I'd share. I saw 4:44 on the clock. I'm sure this has happened to you. Lilou talks about seeing the number 11 in her book.

One more blog post for today. I applied for an accessory design internship a couple of days ago, and I was contacted for an interview today. Yey! Although I am going into fashion design, I applied for this internship because it talked about how the intern would gain a lot of hands on experience. The great thing about the company is that they have been published in many magazines and their accessories are carried in boutiques around the country and internationally too. Some of the jewelry is worn…
