Last weekend to plot the plan
Alright Lara; This weekend think about what you want to focus on for your 90 day challenge. I will post and encourage you and we can have events in the next three months that give us all a chance to talk about it.
Sondra: Take care of yourself. You are worth it. You are a fabulous creature of amazing abilities but if you don’t take good care of yourself and you stretch yourself too thin… you diminish your capacity to do fantastic things. Slow down. Breathe 10 times and smile 20. I will keep checking in with you on the BlissQuest.
Megan: You are powerful and beautiful and absolutely worth affection. Put together your plan for how you want to be less tired and what steps you are going to make to seek out the solution to feeling heavy emotionally or spiritually – because I suspect that when you have lifted yourself up energetically – you will feel more lovable and sense energy more as it is in it’s abundance rather than the lack of it. I will keep reminding you.
ResilientMonkey: Stroll. Don’t even think of is as “walking for 20 minutes” just stroll. Take in the scene. Wander and people watch. It’s not about the exercise, right? It’s about letting your feet carry you someplace while you watch people and be a witness to the beauty of trees, the strangeness of your city fellows and the sidewalks that make up your area. Start out going for 10 minutes. Start your budget with a grid and leave it alone for a few days. I can guarantee you that if you draw a grid of categories and leave it untouched for three days that the back half of your brain will process it so when you sit down to budget it will be so easy you’ll wonder what took you so long.
The 90 challenge starts on Monday. I have already set out my first 30 days of vitamin supplements; my schedule for working out, and have started reading a new book on hormone balance and introducing adequate proteins to my diet. I have purchased two new outfits and made a list of things I need to accomplish before the 90 days so these tasks do not get in the way of my thinking; oil change, tire rotation, air filter, bills, etc.
On Monday I will also be starting to assert my boundaries more to keep from putting more energy out in a sense of obligation. I plan to spend a lot of time outside this year even if that means doing less writing. So we’ll see.
The point is, it’s only a couple days away and then some new –improved and positive changes will happen. Because really, change needs to start happening.
Good luck, everyone!

I want to buy a bike. I want to get all of the time clutting shit done that stresses me out when its not done…. done.
I want to spend less time at work, and more time outside, wandering about and/or meeting people.
I want to lose two dress sizes… maybe even own a dress who knows!
I want to go hiking, walk behind a waterfall, get soaking wet and then run around giving people really big hugs.
I want to get my Kitten.
Mainly, I want to pick up the pace on this whole transformational journey thing. How does that sound?
