2009 vs. 2010
I’ve determined that 2010 is going to be my year. I not only want 2010 to be my year, but all of those around me to have it be their year as well. It’s time for everyone to stop making excuses as to why their dreams don’t come true. In 2008 my husband and I had a HORRIBLE year. My husband was in school and because of downsizing I had been let go of my first high paying...

What you say is what you get
Recently I’ve had people mention words to me that I use a lot… such as my hope, I wish, etc. Mostly in comments such as: I really hope my story inspires others, or I hope my visions start kicking in. These are pretty common phrases but by using them we are keeping our intentions held back. If we truly get what we think about then we need to start paying closer attention to what we...
A new view of myself
No matter how much we try to change our present situation a lot of us are still held back by our previous beliefs. Subconsciously we still hold on to beliefs that aren’t true, just part of the story we tell ourselves. This occured to me yesterday when I had lunch with an amazing friend. She is my direct upline in Isagenix and has truely made a huge impact on my life.
She told me that...

Money, Money, Money!
What can I say besides life’s good. My personal life is improving everyday. My days are going smoother and I feel good almost all the time. Mentally the differences are dramatic.
However, with the holidays I am having issues with eating healthy and staying on track with Isagenix. The program is so easy to follow and it works but I find myself stealing a fresh baked cookie at work or...

Life's Too Short
This morning a coworker and I were talking about bills, etc. It reminded me of every single reason I want to rewrite my story. Life’s too short not to see the world. Life’s too short not to help other people make their life better. Life’s too short not to feel good about yourself. In other words: Life’s too short not to be happy.
With Christmas right around the...

The Myth of Someday
So often in our life, after we set our goals, we think of “Someday”. Someday I’m going to have that lake house… Someday I’m going to be gorgeous and attract all the attention… Someday I’m going to take that trip through Europe… Someday… Someday… Someday. Here’s the problem with Someday… there’s no guarantee and it won’t magically appear. Setting goals and having dreams is the first step to...

Before rewriting my story I have to rewrite my...
I have been working on my changes for over a week now and came to a conclusion today: the change for today should have been the first one. Before I can rewrite the story of my life I have to rewrite my character. Making changes in my life will help for a short time. However, if I don’t see myself as thinner, successful and benefiting others then eventually I’ll end up back where I...

Life Just Keeps Getting Better!
Think about your day for a second. How soon is it after you arrive at work that you start wishing it was time to go home? An hour, two… maybe you’re one of the lucky few that last until lunch time. What about that big event that’s coming up, maybe it’s an event or a holiday or just the weekend. Now let’s pretend that 2 hours after arriving at work you start messing around, just burning time till...

The Key is to keep positive
It’s easy to give up and get discouraged when you have a day, especially one where you feel like you let yourself down. Yesteday was one of those days for me. I made a few negative comments about my appearance, spread some gossip about a coworker and complained about Christmas music. The positive aspect is that I caught myself each time and was able to recognize what I said instead of it...

Did you hear the latest about Sally Jo?
Every person in your life is a character in your story. While conflict is a common in a great story do you want it to be a conflict between you and another character? When rewriting the story of my life I feel like it’s important to rewrite some of my relationships as well. Perfect examples: the lady who drives me crazy a work, the driver who cuts me off on the highway, the person who...
Join the Party
As you may have noticed, I have decided to sign all my blogs with join the party. My picture also looks like an invitation! Since life is a story that you write yourself, why isn’t it a party?
Everyday I wake up and it feels like I have a knot in my stomach. It’s not because I’m dreading anything, it’s just that I automatically go through my list of things I have to...
Every moment is the first
To rewrite you story I think you truely need to be aware of your beliefs. While it is in line with setting goals you also need to be aware of the shortcomings that are holding you back. That’s why I’m starting with my first two goals of not complaining and accepting compliments.
I think everyone has a tendency to feel discouraged with themselves when they slip up on a resolution. I...
One Day Down
Happy Thanksgiving! Yesterday I made the decision to stop complaining… well and pay attention to what I complain about so I can change those aspects of my life. I thought it would be easy but I catch myself realizing more and more things that I subconsciously say everyday. However, being cautious of it today made me realize more changes that I have to make to rewrite my story.
I sat down...
Change Number 1
Today I was thinking about what the biggest change that I need to make. I thought about my life and all the things I need to change. Then it hit me: I complain. Everyone does, even if you think you don’t you do. It’s in the little things you say that you don’t think about. For example, I’m totally having a fat day (now you’re complaining your fat) or I really...

Preface... Rewriting my story
Every person has a story. Think of each day as a paragraph (maybe two if a milestone happens that day) and each year a chapter. During a chapter the story can change dramatically. There are twists and turns that impact the overall story. That’s how life is. Each Paragraph adds to the chapter and each chapter contributes to the story. However, the kicker is that you are writing your story....
