Check out mindmovies.com for more information. This is basically a video of positive affirmations. I had a blast doing this and plan to watch it everyday. Feel free to watch it daily too!! The video with the most views on YouTube in December wins $5,000. So watch away!! :) :)
It amazes me that it is less than 3 minutes long---it took a lot longer than that to make!!

Decluttering Mode
I really need to declutter. How is that my dream home would be spotless and clutter-free and my real home is the total opposite? I spurt attention deficit disorder when I begin to declutter. I declutter 5 minutes or less before I come to something that distracts me and diverts my attention for an hour or so before I get back on track. Anyone have any decluttering tips? I wish I could get Peter Walsh from Clean Sweep over here to help out. If I could, I'd take everything out of my house and only put back 1/4 of it. But working within the mess just has me sifting through it an d holding on to too much. I wonder how much those personal organizers cost? Anyone ever use one.

I've Been Tagged!!
Okay Amy Tagged me...
This occasion for having two hefty posts in one day is my first blog tag...and I realized I need to frequent more blogs so I know enough bloggers to tag in return...so I will add to my tag list as I find more people. ;)
These are the rules.... each player starts with 7 random fact about themselves on their Blog. People who are tagged need to blog 7 facts about themselves and post the rules as well. At the end of the blog list 7 people you are tagging. Let them know that they are tagged by leaving them a comment.
7 things about ME:
1. I've just finished my 5th year of teaching. I never meant to Teach past my 2nd year with Teach For America. I have taught 4th grade self-contained, 3rd grade-self contained, 4th grade Science/Social Studies, 4th Grade Reading, and 7th Grade Math. 3 schools and districts later, and I am FINALLY going to stay in the same assignment and classroom 2 years in a row for my 6th year! Just Call me Mrs. Flexible.
2. My exit ticket out of teaching is my awesome business with Primerica. I help families get out of debt and get financially independent.
3. This is really my second attempt at keeping a blog. The other one is here.
4. My husband's name is Barton and my brother's name is Bobby and I frequently say the opposite name when talking with either one of them.
5. I used to play Rugby and miss playing it.
6. I am frugal and overly practical. I love the Grocery Game concept.
7. I grew up in Cape Cod, Mass., went to college in Newark Delaware (Go Blue Hens!!) , and now live about in the Southern Tip o'Texas.

2. Recent successes with my business
3. The I Love 2 Create July Limited Edition kit.
4. Going to visit family in Massachusetts on Tuesday and our plans to visit family in Omaha and a wedding in Colorado. ( RV road trip!!)
5. Primerica's 30th Anniversary International Convention in August. Watch out Atlanta --70,000+ people headed your way!! I'll be traveling by plane with about 40 other very excited people and we'll have 4 days packed with events and mind-blowing announcements.
(please note: this is an amateur's video, not a company-made video.)
6. Summer Vacation--I love having the freedom of summer to set my schedule and do what I decide is important.

Back to Work...for a bit.
I've been off from teaching since June 1st, but today I went back for a 4-day working session writing curriculum. Man, let me tell you it was hard to hear that alarm this morning! I so appreciate the summer break...I don't want it to end!!
I really, really like this website:
It is so positive and enabling.

Food for the mind
One thing I really like is reading self-improvement books and listening to self-improvement CDs. If you haven't tried it, my advice would be not to knock it. It is the #1 way to stay positive and happy, in my opinion. Right now, I am reading 17 Secrets of the Master Prospectors by John Kalench. I came across this link to an event by Secrets of the Millionaire Mind's T. Harv Eker. This book is excellent and the audio clips you'll hear here are a great way to taste what self-improvement junkies are all about.
One other thing: I was thinking I'd make a quick trip to this gorgeous location (Lanai, Hawaii). Anyone want to join me? The bus is leaving.

1st post
Seeing that it is my first post, I decided to use that handy "next blog" feature at the header of the page to see some random blogs and get some ideas on just what it is I am going to write to make a profound start. You can come across some pretty cool--and strange--items. I did like this, from a soldier's wife's blog:
Stick to your task till it sticks to you;
Beginners are many, but enders are few.
Honor, power, place, and praise
Will come, in time, to the one who stays.
Stick to your task till it stick to you;
Bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it too;
For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile
Will come life's victories, after awhile.
