This isn't a question I have been asked in a while it is the answer that I have been dwelling on this morning. It goes back to my previous mention of The Tipping Point where the mention of how much we practice is the key topic. For the past two months I feel like I have really been doing that, even started talking about my carreer as a practise. Doctors practice medicine. For myself, I practice marketing and there is the practice of teaching this. My view of marketing is probably a little differennt than some as I see it for a business as something you have to have a wholistic approach to for success. As Stephen Covey basically says you cannot do wrong in one part of your life ,without effecting the rest of it. Your integrity will effect all parts of your life and YOUR BUSINESS is what I take away. But back to marketing and teaching the tools, there is always a need to learn before you give the information, to stay on top of what is being offered. In realizing and doing this in all parts of my life, I suddenly feel a knowing that things will just be constantly evolving for me in a positive way. There was a quote about wisdom this morning I saw somewhere that basically said once we realize what we don't know, we are so much smarter. It means for me, there is an opportunity to ask questions and grow.
Do you get frustrated when you run into something or someone you don't understand? Or do you look for better questions to ask?
My blog here is a set of statements that I work on daily, constantly looking for ways to keep making the lense I am looking through become more clear. Constantly refocusing and revamping and learning about myself. It is a great way to see where I am at.
My Big DREAMS are...
-take the kids on a great holiday or 10
- to pay off both my houses and have them as passive income instead of a concern each month-purchase commercial property for an amazing space to hang out in.
-be an amazing teacher and student and hope my children will do the same.
I am what I think about most!

( you must take one action towards your big dream every day ( 3 is awesome)

My Successes yesterday were :
1. Got up early - walked 5 miles with Shelley, ate well, relaxed well2. did some more painting of the floor in preparation for moving things around downstairs, more purging of stuff we don't need!
3. Kicked Garrat out of the house, sounds odd, but we were sick of his moaning, gaming etc.. and he ended up finding a bunch of friends, hanging out at the very cool youth center, scraping his knee at the bike park and having a much better day than if we had nagged him for all the things he was up to.
I am Grateful for (3 min. and you can repeat)
1. My parents
2. My kids and friends - especially Shelley this week.. she is always inspiring to me..
3. My health!
The action I took towards my BIG DREAMS were...
( you must take one action towards your big dream every day ( 3 is awesome)
1. I ripped out all the pages in my note book, started fresh with a list for each project. Broke it all down! 2. kept at organizing the downstairs... organization will be key.
3.took time to write..
The actions I took towards my Happiness were
(You must at least do ONE activity towards increasing your Happiness at set points every day.. no matter how small)
1. Lost 10 pounds, keeping at it bought more healthy food!
2. More organizing, phone calls, planning, organizing and doing!
3. Got a good night sleep!
Are you designing your life?
I always like to think that I am in control of how my life is coming along. Saying I design my life at the moment is probably really coming into fruition. Alot of the puzzle pieces I picked up are coming together. ( No less puzzling) If you look at books like The Tipping Point 
that show so many examples of how experience and time overcomes many of the inadequacies you may have been born to, and stick with your goals over a long period of time - you start to see results.
Here are a few of the long term goals I have been designing
I have started them, knowing it would take a long term investment, constant redesign and some study to see results :
1) Having children:
-they were both planned,
-I read lots of books, went to seminars to get the outline of how it should be done...
-got involved with parent groups when they were little
-volunteered with Girl Guides and Sea Cadets
-volunteered with the P.A.C. and other items.- To see how it was actually being done.
Result - after parenting for 17 years I am seeing some positive results.. I like the outcome, knowing what to look for and what questions to ask has been key, to understanding that I have been a success.
A) you can plan, but probably the needs of the children will become obviously different than what you thought,
b) Play more than you think you should, they are teenagers sooner than you think
c) take holidays with your kids - it is the best gift you can give all of you that none of the books or seminars teach.
2) Investing
I chose real estate: for some that seems risky and I have broken some of the rules and found new ways to do things that just stun other people as they just didn't know.
-had my student loans pay for my morgage for 7 years
-built 7 years worth of equity in a house that everyone said to demolish.
-I had been to city hall, looked at the city plans, watched, went to development meetings.
-That little house I now rent out, has refinanced me many times while going through school and raising kids.
and has doubled in Value since I purchased it.
-It allowed me, with some help, and knowing when the right time to ask for help( which is key), in purchasing the next house.
I will admit I am on the high side of risk at the moment, (yes a few nights of numbing worry) but I know where my cards are, I know my end game, time has been invested and relationships built, because of going out on a limb. By the 3rd house purchase, I am still learning about agents, inspections and values and it is very exciting. ( but you have to have interest)
-know the area you are going to purchase. A friend recently laughed at the price on a property and asked me to guess what it was worth. I was pretty close as I undestood the value that piece of property had to this town, to the people who owned it and why the location was amazing. ( in a few years it will be anyway - so if you have 4 million.. yeah! )
More importantly, a home has been made each time.
a) Pay off your credit cards
b) get a great mortgage broker and investment adviser and a Rock Star Realtor who is going to fight for you and only you!
c) understand your equity and the land around where you are planning to purchase.
3) Education:
When I graduated from high school it was a big deal. My mom was not allowed, as she had to run the family store in Whitby Ont. and my dad finished school in a tiny little school room in town called Burns Lake BC. Not many of them went on to post secondary. My dad tried a year, but the change was to big, the city to overwhelming and from his stories, the girls were rather rude if you didn't have a car!
My grandmother once wrote me about how glad she was I could now joint the typing pool. Words that have never left me. Thankfully though I was kicked out of Grade 8 French and put in typing. So she was right! And as the The Tipping Point says, it is time in and practice that make the difference. I never would have chosen typing, but once you have the lower level credit, it can't be wasted so I went on to the electronic type writers in high school and though I failed computer science, it was more from skipping class and typing poetry than anything. The "point" is when computers became important.. I had a skill that some did not and even into my thirties I used it to my benefit. When email arrived, I was teaching people at "THAT" booth in the mall that was trying to sign you up for the internet. They thought we were NUTS! Koodos to Dowco Internet for being ahead of the game!
I look at my education portion on my resume and it is starting to look a little nuts at 40 if I look at all the seminars and certifications. I had kids in my 20s so all I could see was little seminars and training days. and by the time I was thirty and hadn't gone to university I decided to figure that out as well. I am UFV Alumni 2009 with my Bachelor of Fine Arts. I was terrified of the first day I went into register as no one had ever told me I could just go.... I thought I had to "Get In" Luckily the woman behind the desk was 10 years older and had had the same experience. She recognized me. And I kept learning about something I love. I often hear about how the to fortune 500 CEO's who don't have a bachelor degree like I have.. and NO you don't need one. No one does, but I understand the world so much better now, I have better questions than before and I have much better tools than I had before to figure out my world when there is a question. OH and yeah I got to have the "university experience" as my kids were gone weekends. So the pubs, the parties and the fun I missed having kids young, I tasted in proportion and don't have the "missing' feeling I had before.
a) Education can be fun
b) It won't get you The Starbucks Experience or a job there.
c) You will have bigger network of Alumni brotherhood, than if you didn't go! and you will be a better team player.
This supposed to by my Gratuity Blog/Log and I am on day 20 something of 90... so I should get back on track.. I am often side tracked so one of my projects will be top ten time wasters and how to fix it! It will be posted on my other website once I get the blog back up on the front page at www.socialsitetonight.com which is my Six Figure Mentors site find the best back office for learning online internet marketing.

Fell off the wagon again
I am going to have to look at this bloggin a little differently, or maybe once the kids are in school in a few days a regular schedule will change how things happen. I had intended to write or video a blog EVERY day .. for 90 days.. but life happens doesn't it. It is like the weight loss program I have just lost my first 10 lbs on.. you eat a grill cheese sandwich one day...
.( thanks Shelly, I never knew how good yellow cheese and feta could taste so amazing melted together- I have changed my view of the average GC Sandwich forever- we will have to open the Lazy Dayzy Cafe sooner than later)
but you still go back the next day and keep working towards your goals. My new goal is to actually write 90 blogs, and hopefully they will be daily. Sometimes the goal posts change - but they are not removed. We have to forgive ourselves and move forward.
I am currently reading The Greatest Miracle in the World by Og Mandino and have got to the part where it all comes together... The End.. The last Chapter. I also have it sitting by Double Double by Cameron Herald and find it ironic I am on the last couple chapters there. There seems to be a congruent pattern here of not finishing. I get distracted and as I am in my 40th year and probably have another 40 to go, I think the new focus will be on my latest favorite saying " Get-er-Dun!" Surrounded by amazing people who are of the same mindset makes a huge difference. One of my "board members" I guess you could call it is Jason Suttie and he is a guy who walks his walk and I have watched him set goals for himself and push through to completion. Great job Jason! And if you need mortgage advice check out his blog
*****
But onto completing my task at hand before finishing my power point for my meetup group tonight on WordPress Blogs - How and Why -the reason started this blog for my KAP-IT Group I am in with Colin Sprake and Make Your Mark Business Consulting.
My Big DREAMS are... to pay off both my houses and have them as passive income instead of a concern each month. Have them both rented out and have Jackie, my rockstar realtor looking for my commercial dream property while I live on the 40 ft sail boat. It will have 1 side retail/coffee shop/ one side working gallery with 2 to 4 apartments upstairs. There will be boardroom and workshop space, with lots of people, learning how to make their businesses more amazing, there will be foodies and food and amazing wine and drinks.. and lots of fun and laughter! All ages welcome! Oh and from my little sailboat I will have my paddle board I can take to my H20 water yoga as I will be soooooooooooo balanced in so many ways!
I am what I think about most!
My Successes today were :
1. Got up early - which is a habit I love - used the 5K running program for a learn to skip program
2. My two amazing kids got themselves up and ready. Garrat is off to pre-season football practise, made his Gator-aid up and ready to go. Hannah is off doing babysitting in her new niche market... watching special needs children and took some of the amazing banana bread she made last night.. I am glad she is branching out from Chocolate Chip Cookies, change is always good and the Joy of Cooking is getting tired on that page.
I am Grateful for (3 min. and you can repeat)
1. My parents
2. My kids and friends - especially Shelley this week.. she is always inspiring to me..
3. My health!
The action I took towards my BIG DREAMS were...
( you must take one action towards your big dream every day ( 3 is awesome)
1. Bloggin, got website to a happy point.. did another video
2. Hooking up another stream of income with BeautiControl - and got the products as well as used them and got the new website up! yippee3. Went to my Kap-it Group and I think I really showed up, much less fear, more work done and getting on top of where I need to get to!
The actions I took towards my Happiness were
(You must at least do ONE activity towards increasing your Happiness at set points every day.. no matter how small)
1. Lost 10 pounds, keeping strong
2. Got another 10 boxes of crap out of my basement and we are repacking some of Garrat's stuff and hoping he will also let go of more...
3. Reading.. I really enjoy it and have got back to it and will keep doing it!
Have a great day everyone! Bless you all!

Another Day Another Dollar
So yesterday brought alot of things to me. Not money yet.. but it will come. The website is something I am ok with finally. It is like the shoe maker.. I haven't had time to go and get all my own photos or my portfolio up and don't want to pick a really fancy theme as sometimes keeping things simple really is best. I have tried alot of different themes and have come back to one of the WordPress 2011 themes as there is so much flexibility. I realize as well I should be bloggin' on that site probably but connecting the two is the next step. Today has already brought little successes, been for a walk with Shelley, got in my Hour of Power....Tony Robbins Style and I guess next to add to the list is the other Hour of Power..Robert Shuller Style.. there aren't alot of preachers I have listened to in my life, but once in a while, while he was living I would take time to watch him on T.V. and I have book of his I love to pick up.. and there is so much love in what he has to say, it is always a valuable moment in my life. But today was doing it Tony style, even did a video while walking.. taking time to be mentally fit, physically fit, taking time with family and now taking time for business. Actually got an other video blog done, but realized I changed topics mid video.. from how to prep for your meetup.com meeting.. to what our next meeting was going to be about. So another will have to be made.. I am loving editing. I learned how to use Adobe Premier Pro in University and am using something much simpler. Would be happy with either! Forgot how enjoyable the creative process is.
But now to get on with the day! So since I have taken a couple days off my 90 day promise I better make sure it is done today!
***
My Big DREAMS are... ( love the dot dot dot.)
To make money through helping people feel personally successful in their business and do it through a laptop lifestyle and workshops.
This will let me work on my big dream of being by the water alot more or just all the time..
I am what I think about most!
My Successes today were : (hummm I might be a morning writer but fix this later.)
1. Got up early - which is a habit I love - got walking and just stepped right into my runners.. easier than yesterday!
2. Have graphics work to do today! Got a great job offer as well!
3.I love my daughter making cookies in the kitchen.. We should really get Garrat up.. but it is so nice and quiet.

Time to make it happen!
Right now, I am just going to review, look for the weak points, build up the places I see need work.
Rinse and repeat. Getting on the phone today and calling people, organize the files as I walk through calling them and just be consistent.
I have alot of follow up to do, a new offer to get myself out there and really excited about setting up a point of sale project as well for QR Codes.
When you know something is working, go back to it, tweek it, polish it until it shines.
Very happy to have got a couple videos done with editing, not happy with how I am looking in them,
so got a new haircut, have lost 6 lb over the past few weeks with a change of diet and a renewed addiction to walking and we stepped it up a notch and went to the gym yesterday. I have a bad foot from a blister and my neck often is tweeked from a car accident I had a few years ago, but getting active, really helps loosen everything up and gets the endorphins going. Having a work out partner who has the same goals is really amazing. I think it isn't an easy thing to find either.. I have a photo I have on my desk top everyday as a goal as well.. or maybe I just want her shoes!
OK, lets see where we get to today!
Here she is...

Keith Farazzi - saves my day again...
Tip 264 - Guest Mission: Save Yourself from A Stressful Melt-Down with This Simple Tip
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mission is by Mike Figliuolo, managing director of thoughtLEADERS, LLC and author of the new leadership book One Piece of Paper: The Simple Approach to Powerful, Personal Leadership. I use my vision boards as triggers. Head to the blog and let me know if have something that snaps you into a more grounded perspective?-KF
Life can get stressful at times. When you get stressed, you will tend to focus intently on your stressor. That focus can lead you to lose perspective on things that might be much more important.
Your mission is to create a simple reminder that will help you regain your perspective. Choose something that is a personal memory and something that has solid emotional meaning for you. It can be the birth of a child, the loss of a loved one, or a major life event. It could be a simple phrase you’ve heard someone important to you use when they were stressed (e.g., “this isn’t rocket science.”). Just make sure whatever trigger you choose has deep personal meaning to you.
Once you’ve chosen that reminder, practice using it when things get stressful. If you’re having a bad day at work, remembering what’s really important in life can make your present situation less stressful. So go ahead – pick your reminder and start putting it into practice in stressful situations. It will reduce your stress, help you regain perspective, and improve your performance.
Warmest,
Keith

Short and sweet and focused
Like a good twitter posting, I am going to keep it short and sweet!
My Dream today is to convert my leads into cash so I can pay the morgage.
My actions towards that, are going to a clients site and working onsite as thier marketing manager for the day.
-I will be putting together a QR Campaign this afternoon and just focusing on that - nothing else.
- I have put out alot of resumes, for teaching art etc. and I realized this morning, that I like helping kids alot, after calming a little girl down who had her leg stuck in a McDonald's booth. I had applied as a 911 operations assistant so already had how I can deal with pressure on my mind and the opportunity to demand butter from a stupified manager was presented.
anyway, just having a coffee, picking up the email before off to work.
-Garrat and Zack are off volunteering at the zoo today and they have a ride home arranged.
All is good, great things will happen today.
Over an out!

Another sunny day, another day to look for opportunity
My computer is at Staples still, and what I love about computer life now, as everything is online, is that I can just find another computer. With the exception of my graphic design programs, life as an internet marketing and trainer is much easier. Even my invoices are stored online with google docs. My websites are edited through wordpress , my email is through godaddy.com so I just log into their webmail service no matter where I am at. It is a blessing and a curse.. I have no excuses... Keep on truckin sister, you can still research, pick up email on your iphone, a get those quotes done on O desk. (That is my next challenge on the list) Out source one item and I have just the one. A quite complicated website that involved some programming. But I know it has done before and it easy! The next big project will be to get ready for my next meetup group where I will be showing people how to build a email capture page, so they can broaden their marketing funnel with Eweber. But tonight Agata and I are off to Sade's Concert in Vancouver. A nice excuse to forget laptop troubles and listen to this most elegant crooner that I have adorded since I was a teenager.
-90 day challenge starts here-
My Big DREAMS are... ( love the dot dot dot.)
To go camping this summer with my kids for 2 nights. Take the old paddle board, the new kayak paddle, our life vest and just relax together. No house work, no worry, just water and splashing around..
Work toward the ability to by a new paddle board, matching paddle and have the time to play on it in Hawaii...
I am what I think about most!
My Successes today were : (hummm I might be a morning writer but fix this later.)
1. Freedom to just parent with out the disruption of 9-5 work hours.
- have quality play time on the water with my teenagers.
This is something I think about and I got to take time to do some yard work with Garrat.. Hannah made cookies this morning.. and we cleaned up together.. baby steps.
2. Be able to help people in designing their marketing plans and see their successes. I am going into the planning phase of a Marketing Mastermind group that will run bi-monthly in my home as there seems to be a need for it. Good to be wanted, and I love the requests. Now to make sure I can provide MASSIVE Value to those who sign up.
3. Just going to the Speed Scene office to get my work done. How easy was that.. Laptop is still at the doctor but it won't stop me.
4. Yard tidied, Garbage ready to go out the door.
5. Meditated this morning until my neck pain went away. I am thinking that the skipping is actually going to help. It will give my core more balance. Was worried about the reprocussions but I think using the walk to run program as a walk to skip program could be a really great thing for my back health. Since the accident my neck just isn't the same, always having to sleep with a bean bag pillow etc. but I am so thankful I am mobile and can keep working at healing. The skipping did however set off the numbness on the side of my face as any stress seems to do. But hey! I am so happy to be able to do this.
I am Grateful for (3 min. and you can repeat)
1. My parents making diner last night
2. My kids
3. Going to this amazing concert!
The action I took towards my BIG DREAMS were...
( you must take one action towards your big dream every day ( 3 is awesome)
1. Working on the kids, the business, the organizing.
2. Talked with Shell about going down to a cabin over the border for 2 nights.
3. Skipped yesterday, have lost 3 pounds. Feeling healthy.
The actions I took towards my Happiness were
(You must at least do ONE activity towards increasing your Happiness at set points every day.. no matter how small)
1. Saying yes to going to a concert
2. Having coffee with such a good friend this morning!
3. Spend time with our home today. What Saturdays should be, did the bottle recycling, let the rabbit out for a little run about, worked with Garrat in the yard. It is the little things!

Time, Persistence, Doing what your are a little scared of = success
My Big DREAMS are... ( love the dot dot dot.)
Well this morning my big dream would be that my daughter comes back to the planet and understands what a nice place we have to live in. I was on such a high, from a personal business success last night, being offered ticket to Sade for Saturday. Very excited! Proud I got my excersize and hour of personal power in this morning... and then the teenage girl pipes in about what a dumpy trashy place we live in. We live a 1942 bunglow. It is cute, sweet, just moved in so still finding places for things, the basement is a jumble, in an amazing location, lovely garden, economical to heat etc. It is sensible for a single mom with 2 kids.( Not in a brand new subdivision like all of her friends. I got a great price on it when I purchased it and everyone that comes over to visit falls in love. Other than my 17 year old. My big dream is that she would learn graciousness, I guess I need to be a better example, leading by example has always been my goal but she has some ideas of perfection I have no interest in achieving. ( I would need a housekeeper,personal bathroom butler, car washer, private cook and personal secretary to achieve the level of perfection she expects of me ) So one of my big dreams and I think she will achieve it and I will have to keep showing her, is being thankful for all the little things in life. The private back yard, the nice neighbors, that we can walk to the store, that we have fresh paint, big windows, nice wood floors, running water and lots of wonderful friends and my parents are such a support. Doing the first workshop last night was scary, but being the mother of a teenage girl these days... terrifying.
I am what I think about most!
My Successes today were : (hummm I might be a morning writer but fix this later.)
1. Taking time for my walk to skip program - a good sweat!
2. Pull off a great workshop last night.
3. Being patient with my computer this morning.
4. Taking time to meditate 2x as long before getting out of bed and letting myself sleep in as I worked until 2;30 am.
5. for the nice house I live in.
I am Grateful for (3 min. and you can repeat)
1. My kids
2. My Parent
3. My Friends
The action I took towards my BIG DREAMS were...
( you must take one action towards your big dream every day ( 3 is awesome)
1. Doing my first workshop and I am going follow up with everyone as well.
2. Got a quote out and I am going to try O Desk today!
3. Skipping, so I can improve my health wealth.

Another new rule - READ - BEFORE PANICK .....
In university I learned to quick read... that is what I consider the precurser to speed reading... so I skim alot.
Last week I got a bill from the city.. I just skimmed to the total at the bottom and panicked... got angery as the morgage company was supposed to pay the tax bill on the houses, and have been waiting for another one for the other house. Dreading sitting on hold to ask y why the bill is higher than what I had to pay out monthly.. blah blah blah.. my head doing to talking.
So while in my seminar yeasterday I made a "todo" list and making that phone call was on it. While looking for the phone number I thought I might actually read the letter.. and actually I just needed to sign the form at the bottom to apply for the homeowners grant I didn't think I qualified for as we have two houses. While reading it I also remembered my parents are on the title so maybe we get the seniors discount. This has been really awesome for the insurance company as we qualified for all the seniors discounts.. ( another reason to be thankful for having my parents support) SAVED MONEY.
OKey Dokey.. Kids are off doing their thing. Garrat is landscaping with Darren today making $10 bucks an hour and Hannah is off with her step mom applying for jobs and she is going to learn to do some bookkeeping for me this afternoon. ( we seem to keep having scheduling conflicts.. )
I have a huge amazing list of things to get through and clients to take care of today, quotes to get out. This makes me Happy!
My Big DREAMS are... ( love the dot dot dot.)
Write a page or post photos here... I guess.
I am what I think about most!
My Successes today were : Going to come back to this at the end of today!
1. Worked on my Laptop Lifestyle website. Still need to figure out how to get the links back now that I have put Stewarts video up.

1. Listened to my morning meditation which puts me in my mind on my paddle board, floating on the water.
2. Got the skip rope out which will help with with my balance while on the paddle board, going to to use it three times today and I hadn't thought of applying the same technique as walk to run.. to stand to skp.. When you walk to run, you walk five run one, until you are run 5 walk one.. and then you just run.. so I am going to apply the same technique to skipping as I want to make sure I am careful of my knees.
3. Working, organized and working so I can bring money in, pay off the debt, so I can live the dream.
The actions I took towards my Happiness were
(You must at least do ONE activity towards increasing your Happiness at set points every day.. no matter how small)
1. meditate. oh and watched the end of Eat Pray Love which was good.. reminded me to smile with my liver liz..
2. Going to get back to good eating after feasting on candies at the seminar yesterday. Oh yuk!
3. I am up, feet on the ground, and smiling. all good!~
4. Actually having another Marketing Mastermind Group tonight as well. The roster is full! I opened 10 spots as I want to be able to offer massive value and really get to know the people coming to get started..

Profit Warrior Seminar - Good to spend time with all my business partners...
Today felt like a turn around day. Feet planted firmly on the ground, Plans in place, contacts and leads followed up, saw people who now after a few seminars together are more than aquaintances. Some people you just click with. enjoyed the day, had stayed up until 1 am following through on my todo list for the day.. felt good to really get some big things checked off my list for the business and personally.
But I am tired and the cat peed on something so I have laundry to do apparently...
So if you don`t know already I have started this blog to follow through on a promise to work on my thankfulness for 90 days..It is from a template you can find on one of the first blogs.. see how are we get! Here is where we are going today...

Paiwen Paddle Board.. yes yes yes..
A two day camping trip with the kids and a couple friends.
House Paid off. Back in a Jeep or other vehicle that suits my ego.
CC Paid off. One house paid off in 2 years.
I am what I think about most!
My Successes today were : (hummm I might be a morning writer but fix this later.)
1. I have a son who worked full day and made a mans wage, it isn`t something I thought I would see so soon
2. My daughter kept herself occupied today. Out of trouble I hope..
3. took the day for profit warrior with Colin and felt it wasn`t crazy over myhead, nice to know I can find my way around a spread sheet.. I just get that panicky feeling and want to call Agata to explain!
4. Good to see Marishu and Kaela and spend the day working together.
5. Had a great hair day!
I am Grateful for (3 min. and you can repeat)

Starting in ernest
My Big DREAMS are... Paiwen Paddle Board, Take the Kids to Disney Land, Pay off one of the houses. Be student loan free.
I am what I think about most!
My Successes today were : (hummm I might be a morning writer but fix this later.)
1. Yesterday I made the basement usable,
2. Organized Garrat room. I hope he likes finding his clothes.
3. Planted potatoes, moved some plants, killed weeds, and got some great stretching exsersize while doing it.
4.Made soup for the week, this has been amazing on coffee reduction plan. blending it makes it think and rich and yummy and 0 points!
5. Hannah came home for the weekend, nice to have her around. Missed Garrat, didn't miss their constant nattering .. 6. Got out of my comfort zone at BBQ Friday night, had a great time, and got to know how "ok" I am with myself, my decisions and I am excited about how I can use that experience, like the first time I went Kayaking in deep water, to push myself forward.
I am Grateful for (3 min. and you can repeat)
1. my new home feeling so safe and quite ( most days quiet)
2. my kids being so amazing and working and their own successes.
3. my parents for being so helpful and supportive.
The action I took towards my BIG DREAMS were...
( you must take one action towards your big dream every day ( 3 is awesome)
1. Taking care of my home, and know it is clean and organized lets me get to the business side. I used to leave things and work on business but I know how to balance better now. It is easier to work on everything a little at a time instead of a huge fix up later that will overwhelm me.
2. I have to take a resume up to Vallhalla Pure tomorrow for a part time spot that brings me closer to the outdoors and that paddle board. I think hanging out with like minded people will be great.
3. Clean house, happy family.. Fed Family happy family. all good. We will also work on a dream board together this week at some point. ( need magazines.(
The actions I took towards my Happiness were
(You must at least do ONE activity towards increasing your Happiness at set points every day.. no matter how small)
1. I took time for inner peace yesterday, sitting on the grass and pulling weeds.. drinking coffee, this neighborhood is just unlike where I have lived before, it has a quiet air of being established like an old Shaunessy neighborhood, without the big houses and stuffiness...
2. I ate well, I fasted ( but drank lots/tons) most of the day, and had a light dinner after the sun went down in honor of my friends who are partaking of Ramadan.
3. I cleaned, I organized, and I worked though the pain... must go see Paul!

Five Minute Facebook Rule
Well August is already got a dent in it and finally all the boxes in the basement have been broken down and there is a dent in the pile of stuff that we never quite unpacked. It has been a huge distraction not knowing where your frying pan is when you work from home. And working from home is the topic and project of the day. Trading a week day for a weekend day is my right :-) When you work in an open office concept, you have "big brother" or "nosey nancy" to make sure you curb your facebook time. But I am finding it easy to slide into just viewing. So new goal. five minutes. I do have several friends and some family I really like to check out what they are doing.
This week I am also wishing it had a big note as to the day of the week!. I don't know about you, but having a schedule, getting kids to school etc. keeps me on track. August is a just a big swirl of what didn't we fit in yet. So back to the five minute Facebook rule. .. I don't think it should be used on Sundays, but as I lost a couple days this week, I am using it. Maybe it was to much gardening yesterday but the plan is to work all day on making sure my web capture pages are all set up as I had set it up on AWeber, and it is working. The seven day marketing bootcamp is running and people are receiving it, but I want to go through and remember how I did it! I have to say I am thankful for all the videos on my back office as Six Figure Mentors, so that if there is any online tool I need to use, From setting up a Facebook fan page to more difficult tasks of setting up things like the 7 day bootcamps that send out the links automatically every day after someone has chosen to take it. Very cool stuff! Lovin it! Ok well this is separate from my Log I am doing every day. So peace out and have an amazing day!. I am going to go out and have my coffee in the garden.

Another day, and so much to do,
So I got started on this blog as a challenge to verbally create a more positive outcome for my lifeéfamily and my business. We have been through big family changes and physically moved house holds, gone from an amazing income with no expenses, a free beautiful place to live to just a whole different life. A life I like better by the way But they just saw me on my low energy points when I just had nothing left to give as it was put into all the change and figuring out how you become a single parent to some kids to had the equivalent of 5 parents. IT has been alot of weight on one set of shoulders. Emotionally and financially. But we are on the other side of the hill and headed for the next mountain. My point of starting this today is that as I have a very hard time handwritting ( my muscles don`t function past a couple lines of writing with a pen) I have been using this to start my `Success Journal`it is an actual book put out by www.mymsucess.com and I am warmed up now so I thought I would type out the format to fill in the pages. It is a 90 day challenge to think about big dreams, goals, to look at your successes. So I will do a template and then fill it in each day. So very Oprah!
My Big DREAMS are... ( love the dot dot dot.)
I am what I think about most!
My Successes yesterday were : (hummm I might be a morning writer but fix this later.)
1 Held my first meetup group in ages. Soft start last night with Agata and Gerry, Hard start next week. :-)
2 Taking time to do this daily blog.
3 Heard back from the city wanting more info about me in regards to a marketing and volunteer management position.. very cool..
4 Safely made it Cultas lak, and Aldergrove 2 x each yesterday.
5 Did my walk up Everett Hill 2x - wow that is steep!
I am Grateful for (3 min. and you can repeat)
1 Great Guys like Sergai who will give you honest advice,
2 Awesome guys like my neighbor Paul who scraped the driveway and is still waiting for his cookies... in return.
3 For Hannah being home and helping out with the house, just her prescence is enough for now, see where it goes from here daughter.
4. For Garrat so willing to do so much volunteer work, and believing me that it will pay off. He is truely investing his time and spirit in to what he is doing with a great attitude both at the Zoo with the birds he is working with and helping out Jan on the farm with Haying, taking care of several yards and actually taking on a paper route as well. Very cool.
The action I took towards my BIG DREAMS were...

2. Had my veggies soup this morning. ( Well it is on the counter waiting)
3. Enjoyed a cup of coffee and just doing what needs to get done in the prescent moment instead of worrying about what isn`t done.. I will get to it. It is August.

Getting out on the water with a paddle board, with the kids in the sail boat with a new working motor as Sergai says we should sell the other one as it is not safe enough for a bunch of girls to be out on the water with.. it runs.. but not reliable. What a great guy! He spent ages messing around with it.
