Well I'm back

2008-05-13 15:39:43 GMT

My computer Died quit some time ago and I have not been on for upwards of 8 months. Much has happened and much is going on. For example, my, now 4 year old daughter started having a allergic reaction to something at the movie theater Sunday. We have no idea what. We have been there before, eaten popcorn before and had sodas before....sighhh. Then my 6 year old got the flu yesterday or should I say 1230 a.m. this morning and is running a fever. And, lastly my father-in-law, looks as though he will pass in the very near future. (one last sigh). There's more, but I feel as though I'm complaining now and will stop.

On the bright side: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE NEW LOOK OF THE SIGHT!!!!!

Totally Excited!

Well, you know when you start something like this program. There is questions as to how good it really is. I have graduated sometime ago! and I did something I said I'd never do again. I started with a MLM company called prepaid legal. The main reason I said I would never do it again is because I hated being told no. We'll I was told no today. While there was still a "touch" of sadness within me, I was NOT debilitated. I did NOT crumble. I DIDN'T GO TO MY CAR AND CRY! I am slaying that monster under the bed and YOU CAN TOO!!! Isn't that what ttl is all about... Slaying our Dragons!!!!

Okay, I have 2 health questions

2007-09-07 00:00:00 GMT

One is a female question and one a "general" question. First, the general question (that way if you're male, you don't have to read the second question. Okay, I read or heard (I can't remember which) that when you get tingling between your toes, that there is some malfunction in your body, with on of the organs. Does any body know anything about this. Second, and the female question. From the day I ovulate to the day my period starts, I have uterian pain. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing it. And, what if anything I can do about it. Just looking for ideas? I don't have resources, so please don't tell me to go to the doctors.

Starting Over!

2007-09-06 00:00:00 GMT

Yes I know it was a t.v. show (and they didn't accept me btw), but, thats what I'm doing now. I have gotten a printer, and my computer fixed. The modem died and it took 3 days to get me back up and running. New printer and now I can't get it to printer again. Do you know how to say, "computer challenged". I do.

Love to all of you! I've missed being on soo. Does anyone who's started over, been able to reset your days, or how did/do you start over. It no longer gives a prompt for the next day, or allows for coaches questions. Any ideas.

Well Im done and now

2007-09-01 00:00:00 GMT

I can say I've finished tools. I am sad. It feels to me the same as when I finished high school and graduated from college. You know happy, sad. Wondering what the future holds. OH wait, I forgot, I'm going through tools again. Never mind! See you in the next few days, on DAY 1!!!

How has the Journey been for ME!

2007-08-31 00:00:00 GMT

I was asked this question and I want to blog an answer not send it personally! Why? because. I was highly stuck when I started tools what is now 91 days ago. I knew I was more than tired of being in pain and counseling did anything but help. Why, because the counselors I met wouldn't push in (thats 14 years of counseling - no lectures please!). I would leave feeling as bad or worse than when I walked through the door. For ME, it was like starting open HEART surgery and the doctors walking away and waking me up WHILE my chest was still opening and saying "Okay, we're done now" and yes, I had a counselor tell me that the same day my mom told her in front of me that she never loved me nor wanted me! So, back to tools!!! The journey is not always fun! It is not always easy, but getting to the place of being STUCK is neither fun, nor easy. So, my answer to how has the JOURNEY been. More than worth the price of admission! And sooooooooo much better than what I was in, when I entered this (tools) operating room. Before coach asked us to pay-it-forward, I had already told sooo many people about it! Even those in school (young ones) because I believe this course should be a mandatory life course in Junior High (middle school if you'd prefer) because it teaches you HOW to handle Life and while you may have been a victim (I know coach says there are no victims--- I more than disagree on this issue -- having been daddy's play toy) this program teaches you how to TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK, and what was STOLEN from you and LIVE again. So, now you know what I think of TOOLS and the journey it leads you on!!!

Wow - Thank You Scars!

2007-08-31 00:00:00 GMT

How to remember, but not be in pain. that is the question. I do believe that coach has answered this question in the toilet section. Don't worry if you haven't gotten there you will. Then it will make sense. I need to continually flush it down the toilet UNTIL it is just a memory and a scar. If you think about it, when you get injured to the point of a scar forming afterwards, it hurts like the dickens when it occurs, but the scar doesn't hurt, it simply a reminder that the body went through a traumatic event and needed some help recovering. So, to scars I say thank you. They are my battle wounds that I made it and did not die in the process, even if I felt like it at the time.

Day 90 - Wooo HOOO

2007-08-30 00:00:00 GMT

I'm back on. Hubby is back from Vegas as well as my computer. It was a business trip, so I didn't get the fun of going. Only my computer! Thanks for all your comments. And, Well wishes. Today is day 90 and I am to comment on my achievements. In the achievement section. Only one problem it wont let me. So, being "proactive" I've asked for help and hopefully can do that soon. You know, some times you're too close to the trees to see the forest. I used this time in tools to soften the "ground"! While I have made some changes and improvements, there is so much more to go and to do. I look forward, to my next time through tools, where I will stay on each day, until I feel I have mastered it. Then move to the next. I may even go through it again, to solidify what I do the next time. And who knows, I may be a lifer on tools. Enjoy the journey! Enjoy the process. And, I'll see you back again next time!

2007-08-26 00:00:00 GMT

Can you believe it, I've done tools 88 days straight, and my husband is leaving on a business trip, and I'm going to miss 3 days, and only have two to go. That is like sooooo disappointing. My goal was to be "perfect" in days completed. So, you will miss me for 3 days, right? Have fun while I am going. Be prepared for Love when I get back. Oh thats lesson 88 you get back what you give out, and thats one of my goals, to give love out. By for now!

Life is coming to an end!

2007-08-22 00:00:00 GMT

Well at least this round in ttl. Im on day 84 and he has annouced it is my final shopping day. There is a tone now, to his notes, that you are starting to be kicked out of the nest. Reminding one to remember your own checklist, to taking care of yourself. I know it's not over, I've seen someone on day 94, but I think those are add on days because, he has said earlier its a 90 day program. That means 10 more days. Some of my favorites have already passed by the way side. hehehehe. but next is to start from day one again. For me, I've had so much junk that I'm treating this like a Richard Bach book, every time I read it, a glean something more. So for today, for now. I am doing better, growing stronger and become a better me. I like me! I REALLY REALLY LIKE ME! I used to not be able to say that, but I can now. I L-I-K-E M-E!!!
