Experience my negative emotions, then set them free. (read all 5 entries…)
moneymoneymoneymoney 4 months ago

Attempting not to dwell on money worries at the moment. Unable to get a crappy job (read: retail, waitress, and other jobs that don’t permit much freedom) because of my recurring ailment (see “Heal” goal for details.) Trying to find ways to earn from home besides telemarketing, which I despise.

Not only have I fallen behind on bills, but BOTH cars need repairs (the mechanic said one tire was about to fall off and its a miracle I wasn’t killed)and my property taxes on my tiny condo went up an additional $1200 a year.

I’m consciously buying less at the grocery store and yet my bill has increased.(Bastards!)Gas is increasing again too.

It’s extremely hard to keep a postitive outlook when there hasn’t been any improvement in over a year of actively trying to get income.

Okay. Done with worrying about it. Off to meditate and hopefully create positive things. Law of Attraction, listen up, dammit!

Quick note 4 months ago

I’ve decided to go for it, all the way, in whatever way I can. I have a goal date of five years from now, and a tentative outline of goals set up.

First, archaeo-historian, writing essays and articles. Then published author on my specialty subject(s). Get scholarship (somehow) to get more schooling. Be guest lecturer (because of my book series and my outstanding historical prowess). Be offered professorship.

Easy!

Okay, maybe not so easy. But you can’t talk me out of it!



learn to play acoustic guitar (read all 2 entries…)
Today I picked up my guitar... 5 months ago

...and popped in a dvd instructional video. It started nice and slow, and it looks like something I can actually do. Eventually. I was so thrilled just to tune the thing.

Going to have a one hour “lesson” twice a week, and practice 20-30 minutes a day.

This week: chromatic scales on every string, E chord arpeggios, A minor arpeggios, and cut my nails to the quick.

Some tennis ball squeezing would probably be helpful too.

Next week, a simple song! (I peeked ahead)
