Halloween Night!!!

Halloween Night!!!

Happy Halloween!! Jason and I have pretty much been having a quiet day at home, which has been very nice!!! My sister-in-law came over and we watched the movie ‘The Proposal’, which we all had fun laughing through! 🙂 Jason made his killer grilled chicken 

I’m Here! I’m Here!!!

I’m Here! I’m Here!!!

I know I have been MIA for a while, but I have been sooooo busy working on my goals!!! I will take a moment to do a proper post this evening!!! 🙂-Christina 😉

WE HAVE BUTTERFLIES!!! That is sooo cool! This is one of my Life List goals, and it was a lot messier than I thought it was going to be, but it is soooo cool to se my little butterflies flying around their habitat!!! YEAH!!!

Anyway, I have been working on getting through the book Success Principles by Jack Canfield. The book’s tagline “How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be” is really what drew me to this book, but let me tell you, this book is such a GREAT resource!! I am taking the book chapter by chapter and trying to get each idea into practice before I move onto the next chapter, which is making for a long read, but at the same time a LIFE CHANGING read!!! I have started mind-mapping this morning, which I think will really help me because I am so visual; it just puts everything I want in perspective! I will have to take a picture of today’s mind-map tonight and I will attach it to this post so you can see what I am doing. Last night’s chapter was chapter 19. “Use Feedback to Your Advantage”. This chapter is going to be pretty hard for me to put into action. I am not sure I am ready to hear feedback from others, but I am going to take a leap of faith and just throw a couple of questions out there – “How do you see me limiting myself?” and “In your opinion, how can I be a better (insert role here, ex. friend, wife, sister, etc)?” Scary, but I will let you know in the next few days how that goes!!!

Anyway, I am determined to be on time this morning, so I am going to keep this short!!! I will talk to you later!!! 🙂

I’m Sick!

Well, I got to cross one of my life list items off today!! That feels pretty cool! The goal was to Get a bouquet of fresh flowers every week for an entire month, which I was able to do!!! My sweetie even brought me my last bouquet in honor of my birthday week!! YEAH BIRTHDAYS!!! 😉

Anyway, this goal was not about spending money on myself, although for the entire month all 4 bouquets cost me about $40 at my local farmers’ market! This challenge was about recognizing that I am worth going out of my way to pamper myself! I don’t need to wait for anyone to baby me, sometimes I can just baby myself!!!

One week the the bouquetwas sooo large that my office-mate helped turn one into 2 bouquets – THANK YOU, C!!!

Anyway, I will be back again tomorrow, since it is weigh-in day!!!
Wish me luck!!!
