Hope you are having....

a nice, lazy Sunday. As for me, I think it is time to get moving. Its cleaning day.

LOVING LIFE

I would love to change pretty much everything about my life...but I love it all the same. I figure it is the best choice I have--love it or loath it, right?

In the next year I hope to be more "romantically established", moved to a new town, less in debt (getting there!), with a total career change, in a scrapbook design team (something I have put low as a priority when I think I shouldnt have denied myself) and closer connections to other people. But I am happy that I am relatively fit, have a promising romance to be had, a fun hobby in scrapbooking, an exciting hobby in paranormal research, some new friends, some old friends, great family, loving pets, and my health.

Tombstone, Arizona

I traveled to Tombstone, Arizona for the tail end of my Spring Break. The first part, I spent with one of my most favorite people in the world--TK--where he lives in Dallas.

We went to Tombstone for a ghost investigation with our group, Texas Paranormal Research Team. We did an investigation (and found evidence) at the Bird Cage Theater and Tombstone Cemetery. The Bird Cage is the oldest building still in its original form. It hosted an 8-year high stakes poker game, round-the-clock entertainment and over 20 deaths. It is chock-full of history (cieling, walls, and floors are still riddled with bullet holes) and just plain amazing.

Then we went to Bisbee, Arizona. Someday, I will go back with more time and my best camera. The shots I took are from a van. There is quite a bit of color in this border town--both literally and of the lots-of-character sense. The first thing you notice are the houses--built one on top of each other in an impossible sort of way.

It was worth all the traveling--and I mean ALL the traveling. I traveled NORTH to Temple,TX (8 hours) then NW to Dallas (2 more hours) then SOUTH back home for 1 night (13 hours) then NW to Menard,TX (7 hours) then on to Arizona (12 hours) then back all the way home (19 hours). I had great company!

Day 5

Just a quick "ad" to mention that I am still using Netwinner and its affiliate sites daily and averaging $25 in earnings per month. I use the game Banko while I am on the web for other stuff...so it is like free extra money without spending extra time. The new reloadable check card allows you to use the money for anything rather than a gift card :) My referral link is here if you want to test it out: http://www.freemoneywheel.com/signupCode/skyview222

Day 2...Vision Video.

aka "what I spent way too much time doing yesterday."

Today is Day One of Season 2.

I decided to start Day 1 of my 100 Day Challenge right away. If you are not familiar with the 100 Day Challenge, there is a group on YouTube, where people set intentions for the next 100 days and post videos about their progress. Its a wonderfully supportive group. You can also check them out at cocreatingourreality.com

Without further ado....Here are my 5 intentions for the next 100 Days.

I have a toned and fit body.

I am abundantly energetic.

I easily recruit 30 people.

I have extra money in my bank account all the time.


When I make a decision to do something, I do it, no matter what.

I am working on my vision video and vision board today.

Day 100!

I made it to Day 100 of my challenge and life has changed drastically toward my intentions. These are the intentions I set 100 days ago today and the progress I've made with each one.


1) I connect deeply with my need to create. I have been more artistic lately. I started an art journal, I got back into journal writing...I'm not crazy about my recent creations, but I have been indulging that need to create on a regular basis.
2)I feel incredibly healthy. I made small gains in this one. I do not feel incredibly healthy...but I am closer to it than I was 100 days ago. I feel much, much happier and I cannot discount that as part of my health. I have gotten a little more exercise and have wavered on eating more healthfully.
3) I lead a significantly-sized team that does $5K in premium (or more), 10 recruits (or more), 7 $mart applications (or more) and help 10 families (or more) each month. This one has what I would call inertia working for it. I got the ball rolling and I am starting to see its fruitions just a tiny bit. I was reflecting on this intention and I did not state it very specifically so that will change for next time.
4) I feel strong connections with like-minded people. I definitely made headway on this one and will continue to do so.
5) I increase my networth by $10K. This happened. Yay! In 100 days. My dear ex-husband's $25,000 car loan is not my problem anymore. lol. Also, my Teacher Loan Forgiveness seems to be going through 2 years earlier than I thought it would. That's a big manifestation if I say so myself. (The story behind that is with Teach For America I got an Americorps stipend for my first 2 years. The government gives a Teacher Loan Forgiveness of $17,500 for teaching 5 years in Title I school in a hard-to-staff position. That's me. I read somewhere that my first two years wouldn't count and I would have to teach 7 years, but everyone I talk to at the loan place doesn't know anything about that. Who am I to convince them otherwise? :))
6) I have a strong partnership with my husband. This happened. Definitely. Since deciding to get divorced, we are able to support each other's ambitions a whole lot more. I had no idea he wouldn't be my husband at the end of the 100 days, but it is working out for the better--for both of us.
7) I have physical and mental clarity, organization, and peace. Check this one off as well. Mentally, I know what I want. I don't have all the answers, but don't feel like I need them right now. I know what steps I need to take and that is enough. Physically, my house is still not where I want it to be, but I've made huge gains and it seems easier to keep it organized.
8) I express myself with bold fashion. Well, hmmmm. I am still in need of a wardrobe overhaul that I wish I could afford...but I got a new haircut and am working with the clothes I have. Maybe I should have intended for the What Not to Wear crew to hand me a $5,000 VISA. :)
9) I function smoothly at work and meet deadlines with ease. Getting better. though I consider work to be my least fave place in my world right now. Maybe 2008 will change all that.

Well, this post is a bit long. I'm working on my intentions for Challenge 2 which begins tomorrow!!
