How I did it
It made me
Difficult, but good. 
How I did it: Living on my own has FORCED me to focus on this goal. I am living more for myself these days, and less to please others. It's nice. I don't feel like I am quite the enabler as I once was, and I can maintain my friendships, and relationships, without them running my life. Read how I did it…
It made me
Back in control. 
How I did it: I dropped off of 43 things for a while, but I did continue to go - I think I hit 15 or so appointments - but around the end of August stopped going. I'd accomplished what I wanted to accomplish, and felt like every time I went in, I was just rehashing some very negitive stuff. I've learned to put that behind me now and focus on my future. It was a cleansing experience. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just made myself do it. After finding out my greyhound had lost 6 lbs over last winter, I realized my laziness was not just affecting me - but him as well.

...called Sovereign Sea Designs (www.sovereignseadesigns.com) and I LOVE creating jewelry. I have been a total media whore working Twitter, Facebook, Etsy, Greytalk, and Myspace, but am not sure where else to go with my stuff. I think my next step will be to try the gift store down the street, to see if they would be willing to sell my necklaces…
On a side note – the Christmas orders are starting to roll in! Yippie!
