100 Day Challenge – Day 3

1 Reply

Today the hubby and I continued to work on our house goal. While driving around today we discussed which homes was the *type* of house that we’d like and why, as well as which neighborhood we like.

Then once we got home we worked on cleaning out the garage. For us, the garage has always been our crap storage. We have boxes and boxes of papers and wires that are years and years old. We finally gave up and just threw stuff away. We actually crushed enough cardboard boxes that I could probably turn them in for some cash – probably enough for a cup of coffee!

But I’m really psyched to finally be able to get rid of some stuff and I really think things will open up for us. Good energy baby! The best part, the old loveseat will be going out and my new chair will be put in it’s place. That alone will make the living room look much better. Once we add curtains, the entire room will just feel so much better. And a happy, cozy home makes for a happy, cozy life!!

100 Day Challenge – Day 2

Last night the hubby and I spent time deciding what we’re looking for in our new house. We’ve had this discussion before, mostly concerning what the boys would like in their new house. But as we were in bed thinking about the upcoming warm weather and what seems like our lack of central air.

So here’s what we came up with…3-4 bedrooms; an office space and an entertainment/music room (can be considered part of the bedrooms); walk in closet space; not too wood or hard surfaces so sound won’t bounce around too much (the hubby’s a guitarist); a large master suite; a large master bath with a jacuzzi tub; 1 or 2 extra bathrooms; living room; dining room; plenty of storage; back deck; large kitchen with new appliances and plenty of counter and cabinet space; large fenced in yard that would be safe enough for both the dog and the cat to visit on their own; room in the yard for a garden; laundry room; 2+ car garage; room to entertain; central heating and air; nice neighborhood; this side of the Hollywood Hills with a decent commute for the hubby.

It sounds pretty specific I know, but I feel that the more specific you can be, the better chance you’ll attract what you’re looking for. And of course, let’s remember this is for the good of all involved 😉

100 Day Challenge – Day 1

So according to the principles of both the Laws of Attraction and the Secret, whatever is going on in my life now, be it something that I want/desire, or something that I’d rather wasn’t present, is only the “current reality. So if I change the thinking, I can change the reality. I can change the now. So here we go, some basic, early stages, affirmations…

* I am so happy and grateful now that we are living in our perfectly suited home (for the good of all involved).

* I am so happy and grateful now that I am in a loving, caring, affectionate, sex-filled relationship.

* I am so happy and grateful now that I am a complete, confident and beautifully, fabulous woman.

* I am so happy and grateful now that I am at my most healthy, fit and perfect weight and size.

* I am so happy and grateful now that our business is doing so well and earning $3000+ a month through multiple sources of revenue.

* I am so happy and grateful now that money comes to me in increasing quantities through multiple sources on a continuous basis, for the good of all involved.

This is a good start. I’ll work out some specific details, as I believe in getting as specific as possible. It’s worked before, and it will work again.

Cheapskate or Demonstration of Love?

Leave a reply

As a childless-by-choice couple, we indulge our fur-babies quite a bit. We spoil them with special toys, special food and snacks, special furniture, you name it. I don’t regret it one bit. I love our boys and wouldn’t trade them for anything (though I’d love for a little girl so I’m not so alone in this testosterone-driven house).

Having just spent the past thirty or so minutes hand sewing my little guy’s favorite toys back together (while he intently watches every in and out of the needle from beside me) I just can’t help but wonder…am I just a cheapskate that wants to get my money’s worth out of his plush toys? Or am just so in love with little guy and the joy gets from playing with his favorite plush toys that I’ll do anything for him to be happy?

So I ask…cheapskate or demonstration of love? But really, could you say no to this face?

The Secret and My 100 Day Challenge

After having heard so much about it the past year or so, I finally sat down to watch my copy of The Secret. Interestingly enough, I’ve followed the principles of Positive Thought and the Laws of Affirmation for nearly 20 years now (I got started as a youngish adult). Heck, I’ve even been sitting on the DVD for over a month now. It’s nice to see Larry King and Oprah embrace it!

For the past couple of days, I’ve had strangers start talking to me about the movie completely unprompted (this isn’t as abnormal for me as you might think). Not one to ignore the message, I finally watched it twice last night – once to hear it, and once to take notes. Today, I handed it off to a friend and jumpstarted a conversation about it on my website. Just doing my part to spread the word.

While catching up on some TS clips on YouTube, I also stumbled upon the 100 Day Challenge. So knowing that it’s time to kick things up a notch or two, I thought I’d embrace this very challenge. So over the next 100 days, expect to read a lot about my life and all that I’m creating. I’m sure I’ll also throw in some background info about myself considering this belief structure plays a huge part on who I am and how I came to be. So coming up you’ll find some affirmations, much gratitude, some manifestation and a whole lot of love.

Everything happens for a reason and there’s no time like the present! Anyone care to join me?

I can’t figure out how to post a YouTube video here, so here’s a Secret summary link instead.
