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.
