This Thought Counts

As some of you know, I had started a new challenge right after the old one ended. Some odd things were happening in the weeks that followed and I finally asked for some help and through that help came to realize that I was on the wrong path. So, I have decided to scrap that one - I still love the idea and plan to make it a reality later, but not right now. Many reasons, but one is that most of my speakers were too busy for Fall, plus I think that Jan/Feb would be a better time for this kind of teleconference. I am just not sure if I am going to attack this myself, or work at getting partners to do it. I was going to wait until Oct 1 to announce my new goal, but no time like the present! I have wanted to move to Portland, OR for awhile now, and it kept being this "dream" that I was no closer to getting to. Its been on my attraction list since I started writing my 10-10 lists in early August. So, my goal for the Oct 1 Challenge is to move to Portland! I am very excited. There a...

`Hello fellow - BLC'ers Changes are a'comin. On Oct 1 my new image will be up - yeah, I love the smiley too, but new challenge, new image:) I may go back to the smiley at some point, but I feel the need for a new one:) I'm already starting some things for my new challenge. Its a big one for 45 days. But - I know I need this community to get me where I want to be by mid-Nov. Have you ever sat and looked at yourself in the mirror (metaphorically)? I like what I see, but I need to get beyond this need to control how everything happens in my life. I'm such a control freak! LOL I'm getting better at it, but I am looking forward to the time when I can allow the Universe to help me right off, rather than deciding how things should be done and hitting my head against the wall a few times. For my new challenge, I automatically started making lists and charts. LOL While some of that is relevant, I need to take a step back, and take a deep breath. While some of the stuff I tho...

This has been a nice day. I purposefully took time away from my challenge today - for some rest & relaxation. I exercised and tried to just day dream, but instead my mind went over my new novel. LOL I really do need to get a recording device so when these things hit me I can record them right away. It would be faster than trying to write with my hen scratches. Tomorrow, I send out the rest of the speaker invites. I've narrowed down the companies I will be using for the teleconference to 3. There is a company out there that allows it for free, but only up to 96 people. Way too few for what I am planning:) Besides novel "thinking" I also set about shortening several pairs of pants. At 5'0", it is rare that I can find clothes I don't have to shorten. So, I usually buy the pants and let them sit, but this time I couldn't do that. WOTS (Writers of the Sound) conference is coming up soon and I plan on taking my new clothes - the ones that aren't baggy -...

Well, I feel so good today. I completed my 10-10 list this morning but still need to do my couple rounds of EFT (definitely a part of my daily routine). I am going to be hunting for a calendar today so that I can write down all of my important dates and "What's due" so that I can stay on track. So much to so - so excited for the next 6 weeks! I have been thinking allot about the 6-week series that is my main goal for this challenge and have come up with some amazing ideas. Tomorrow I will probably be spending 4-5 hours on total research and planning. Today, I will be putting the things in place so I can just GO FORWARD! Yesterday I didn't get any writing done. I thought about the story line and it played itself over and over again in my brain. I need to get an audio recorder and have it with me so that when these things hit me, I can just record them right then! This afternoon, I have set aside time to write. (Which I need to do on purpose every day). I have had so m...

Sept 5th - wow, so much has happened and I am so pumped up for the next 45 days. This is the first day of my 2nd 45-day Revolving Boundless Living Challenge (Sept 5- Oct 20) I am carrying over the goal from my 1st challenge (to bring in over $1,000/day. But it is a sub-goal that will go well with some of my other items. I have two large goals for the next 45 days. I will be posting both here and on the Boundless Living Challenge website. Probably more here at first due to the fact that the BLC is going through a hectic "end-of-challenge" thing at the moment. My Goals for the next 45 days:

(Originally posted Sept 1, 2008 Boundless Living Challenge ) Its been a nice day today. I slow-cooked a pork shoulder (mmmmmmm Pulled Pork Sandwiches), and have worked on my 10-10 list. I notice I am having to keep my eye on the end of this challenge, as my mind is already straying onto my next challenge, starting Sept 5. While I have not got to my "making $1000/day" yet, though it is coming, I feel that in many ways I have received even greater gifts. Ahh, the wonder of life! . . . and wonderful it is!

Wow - 13th day of the challenge. Must be lucky day 13? Years ago, I got tired of everybody making the number 13 out to be unlucky, so I purposefully focused on it being lucky:) I got about 2 hours of sleep last night. Not due to anything bad, but due to excitement. I could not shut my brain off. LOL I got a great idea about 10 pm last night and when I found myself awake at 1am still from thinking about it, I decided I might as well get up. I am going to be looking at it today and making a list of things I need to do on my side to make it a reality. Then leave the rest of it in the Universe's hands. Whereas 2 days ago I felt spent and worried, today I feel the exact opposite! I am so on fire! Even my horoscope knew it - You need to think about the future today -- you're doing a great job of leaving the past behind and your mind is more concerned with planning and ambition than it is with anything else Spot on, huh? Well, that is all for now - Onward and upward everyone:)

Well, I woke up this morning feeling great - at 5 am. Then, by 7am, I was exhausted and went back to sleep until 10:45. But, when I got up I went and exercised for the first time in months. MAN it felt good. I have been steadily losing weight for the last few of weeks, but until now the desire to go to the gym hadn't surfaced. Instead, I just lost interest in snacking (whoa to the Lay's Stax BBQ chips - they used to be my favorite snack food) and instead eat smaller meals. Last night, before I went to bed, I had an amazing moment of clarity and between 5-7 this morning, I researched my idea. It has some interesting factors I am going to keep looking at. But, I keep saying my goal "I will make more than $1000/day by Sept 4." I don't know quite what opportunity I need to do to reach that goal, but I am acting on ideas that come to me and am very excited to see where they go. I used to want to take on the job of the Universe and do it all, but feel content at the mom...
