I wanted to write something for reaching day 100 of season one.... I'm glad things were so mellow early on. I had the chance to read great books, watch inspirational videos, and really work on some of my long-standing thought patterns. Then things went nuts. I have been taking more than a full load at school. It's been a true test of whether these new insights and lifestyle choices hold up under pressure. Especially after losing Priscilla.... So, what I learned during season one: how to have a… Continue

Well, at this point it is pretty apparent that I have retreated from posting videos. I received some unwanted attention on YouTube. Not mean stuff, just irrelevant to the 100 day challenge, and it turned me off to posting videos. Perhaps I'll come back, but if I do, I'll probably just post to Ning. A lot has happened in the past couple weeks. I moved houses and a week later my darlingest sweetest cat was killed by a coyote. I don't really want to talk about it - that subject has exhausted me fo… Continue

"Thank you god for the abundant gifts you provide for me everyday." This today's affirmation from The Wealthy Spirit. If this doesn't echo the comments about gratitude I received on my video yesterday, I don't know what does. I want to thank everyone who left me a note. I woke up feeling so much happier and more energetic today, and it's thanks to you guys. I intend to make a happy video tomorrow. XXX Continue

I need to motivate to make a new video post. The one I posted last weekend (day 11) was from Wednesday - it just took me forever to put the movie together. I want to be feeling energetic and excited!!! Rephrase: I am more energetic and excited about life every day! I started reading a book of affirmations called The Wealthy Spirit. Perhaps I will post the affirmation of the day, until my other practices renergize. Today was "People love to give me money." I made up a whole song abo… Continue

last night i listened to a woman telling a story about coming out of a rough patch after her divorce. she went traveling alone for six weeks, with three rules to live by: get up, take a shower, and go out. it struck me as such a simple and powerful practice for dealing with depression and loneliness. on my first video, i said i wanted to be a little bit loose with my practices, so they wouldn't start feeling like chores, but now, i'm not so sure. there is very little by way of dicipline in my l… Continue

yesterday, i was really excited to try making a video post for the first time. the subject was supposed to be my objectives for the challenge. i had various technical difficulties, but finally something sort of came together. then i watched it. it just didn't feel right. i'm not used to watching myself on video, so that is probably part of the problem, but it just didn't feel like it was me in the video. it seems phony somehow. i want to refocus my goals and try again, but if that doesn… Continue

Thinking about law of attraction certainly makes life's coincidences more meaningful....

Yesterday afternoon, with two friends, I had planned to go see wildflowers at Anza-Borrego State Park in the desert. As it turned out the flowers were a bit past their peak and we didn't stick… Continue

Am I ready to begin my 100 days, or not? Goal-setting is my stumbling block. I meant to start back in February, but I wanted to start off with a vision board... I started looking for pictures in magazines of people doing things that I want to be doing, but when it came down to it... it seemed wierd to put pictures of strangers on my vision board. Thats supposed to be me doing those things! Maybe I could get better at photoshop, rip off everybody's head in the pictures and paste on my own… Continue
