Once a month we get together.

oh-the-places-youll-go-001We have lunch and talk about wins and strategies of winning.  Usually we have a host that is in charge of door prizes and running the meeting.  We all bring five stamps and five decorated envelopes and draw for a winner of each.  I always come home a winner because of the door prizes!  Today, I came home with the game “Oh, the places You’ll Go!”.  The kids are quite excited about this game!

The Secret

Today we talked a lot about the movie The Secret (Extended Edition) or in other words the law of attraction.  We shared our experiences with it.  At the beginning of the year I made a vision board that included all the wins I wanted and some personal goals.  I  also made one for my husband to.  I didn’t want a year supply of ice cream on my board when I am trying to lose weight.  I did really good at first focusing on the  board every day. The key to a vision board is so feel yourself already receiving these things.  How do you feel when you have lost weight and you are thing?  How do you feel when you receive you $100,000?  How does it feel to write a check for the very last debt and still have a big emergency fund in the bank?

With my blogging internship I have been super busy.  I have not had a lot of time to much of anything other than that, go donate plasma and take care of my kids!   So today I am caught up on most of my interning duties.  I still have dishes to do floors to vacuum, books to read, a Google reader that is full but I am tired.  I really need some relaxing time.  My allergies are bothering me a little bit so that is making me more tired and all I want to do is relax and not worry about anything.  So the best way for me to escape from everything is music and I usually turn to Jim Brickman.  He is just the best!  Of course he is from Ohio too.  So I thought I would share some YouTube clips of a few of his songs.  Sit back and relax, if only for a few minutes!
