Day 347 ~ The Next 18 Days...

I have been sitting here for close to forty minutes just staring at the fact that I have 18 days to go...  {unbelievable!}

I attempted to talk about the need of having compassion and communication in a relationship... and then went back to staring at the number 18.

I know that the last seven days have been a rough learning curve... and that is exactly what they have been... a learning curve... kinda like "growing pains"...

That's a bit more fitting... "growing pains" ... especially since the last 346 days all have been a growing experience for me.  

I have learned more about myself in the last year, than what I knew about myself in a lifetime.  I have had plenty of "aha" moments... and now to see that it has come down to 18 days... well... it is unbelievable to me.

Sooo... starting tomorrow I will be doing my own A to Z Challenge... A to Z, What I Learned About Me..  Huh?  In the next 18 days I will not only be counting down, but each day I will write of something I have learned about myself... first being up is the letters "A" & "B".  

Well, in order to make it work... using the alphabet as a countdown when there are only 18 days left... is as follows... 

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I will be choosing words for two consecutive letters and on the other days, one... for example... tomorrow Monday I will be choosing words that begin with the letters "A" & "B"; Tuesday the letter "C"; Wednesday letters "D" and "E"; Thursday the letter "G" and so on... 

Why not do this?  This way, I definitely will not get the "doe in headlights" stare at my laptop while staring at my days left on "taking back my life ~ making it my own"...
 

What will be next?  Well... I do have my website... carlabarilakaram.com ©... which has all my creations under one umbrella if you will.  

I still will be writing or blogging My LifeStyle ReDesign on a weekly basis.  Right now I am dealing with my latest findings that I have high cholesterol; finding out what having high cholesterol means; and the steps I am taking to reduce my risk of heart disease.

I also started humble gratitude; my new gratitude journal.  I took Oprah's advice and not only started my own gratitude journal, but put my own twist to it... I made it a blog.  Well, it is a simple gratitude journal to remind me all that I am grateful for.

I also still have My wii fit+ 21-Day Challenge published online.  Hmmm... I am starting to come up with a new challenge... a 50-day challenge to lower my cholesterol.  Talk about accountability... ooo... I think I am on to something...

Stay tuned for the next 18 days ... where things will be happening!  

Tomorrow the beginning of my new A to Z Challenge... with the letter "A".

I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk.
