FINALLY, Ive started reading....

Eat, Pray, Love. Yes, I know. I'm so behind. While many are on The Help or Women, Food and God , Best Friends Forever and so on...

I officially started last night and read 34pages before forcing myself to go to sleep at 1130!

I have been glancing over at it  here at work on my desk waiting to finish these reports so in between calls I can read!!! I love a good addicting book!

I am still reading The Power of Now but it for me is more of a book of study. practice. learning. So I'll continue to dabble when I can and absorb truly the meaning Eckhart is relaying.

The next book, well along with the three I mentioned above, is A New Earth. Also, since its been a year since my most FAVORITE author has passed, I want to get the last two novels by E.Lynn  Harris. And the book written in his honor by 3 authors.

All this reading inspires me to write... I love to write. Poetry that is. I express myself through my words better than I can speaking them to you.

on another note... this is my Friday! I was actually supposed to be off today but my PTO decided I had to come in! lol

its OK, I'm saving up for our family trip to Chicago in October along with the time off I have for my birthday next month.

But tomorrow, is a special day... my middle son turns 11!!! Evan is eleven!! :) we are having a bowling party for him on Sunday!small, simple and sweet! I'll be starting his cake decorations tonight as Sunday, I am the assistant to my sister for her State Dental Hygiene Boards test! Not thrilled to sit for the entire day in SF with no car but hey, its all in the name of sisterly love right?!

So... back to reading!

ps. how many will see the movie, Eat Pray Love when it comes out?!?!

Sunshine Days...

Chase the blues away.... right?
Well, so they say.
No blues today just a rough day at the job.
one day soon... I shall be long gone from here
doing what I love...
Loving what i do
:)
*********
todays agenda: Lists.
I feel quite scatter brained lately
and realized I need to get my thoughts in order.
So instead of starting 5 million things at once
and finishing 2 (im notorious for that)
I am listing everything I need to do
or need done.
then,
Prioritizing.
Im good at that.
Feel a bit better now.. tho still have more to jot down.
and still want to create a book list.
Speaking of books... this book im reading is rockin my world!
Enlightening.
Missed my workout today so Im going to get busy this evening.
Im diggin the stability ball!
Keepin it short and sweet today.
Enjoy the wonderful sun everyone!
Smile and relish in the warmth of the moment!

Mon-Daze

Today is simply blah. Going from fun and excitement to work just drains out any remnants of good times from my system. But, it must be done.
Getting started on planning this cake for my niece! Alice in Wonderland! I cant wait to see the movie and get some motivation for the cake! I imagine it being Topsy and turvy and whimsical and fun and colorful and BIG!
I just hope I plan it out and scale it right!
As far as my plans... still not sure where I'm at
or what I'm feeling about this
move, school and what not.
Its crossed my mind more than not
about the what if's...
What if... I stayed here and grew my business?
What if... I found a school local enough to do and still keep my job?
What if... I just took some classes and built from there?
What if... this move isn't the best move right now?
What if... I don't move and miss out on an opportunity I don't know is there?
What if... the book was wrong and I can become successful in Chicago?
What if... a great opportunity presents itself in Cali?
What if... I don't make the right decision, for me or my family?
So many "what if's"
So I have resorted to
just not thinking
about school
the move
Chicago.
For now anyways. I think I needed this mental break.
I've been so focused and stressed off applications
and scholarships and grants and relocation,
that my brain is overloaded.
Shut down.
Reboot.
Fresh start, clear and open mind.
*AHHHHHH*
Ooooooh yes, another thing, I have come across a couple books I want to buy aside from
Eat, Pray, Love (which is next on my list!)
But the books are written by Eckhart Tolle; A new Earth and Power of Now
I may even bump A New Earth up because I hear
its a GREAT read!
hmmmmm, think I need a book list! :)
