I'm doing 41 things
I am looking for my friend again. I am looking for love. I wonder who he is. I love the unveiling and putting things in the glass case—on display. I love learning about him. I have been blessed they are really interesting and wonderful people.

How I did it
It made me
whatever that is 
How I did it: I bought a two study books and had to complete a portion everyday. I also had to make a commitment first, signing up and paying that $150 fee. Once I knew how many words I needed to know (most study guides have the 300 or 800 most used GRE words study list) then I established a plan. Read how I did it…
It made me
Happy
How I did it: I went to an amazing woman and she was great. Beautiful hand. My friend also accompanied me. I went to a parlor with an excellent reputation and was recommended to me. I would suggest people speak to others with tattoos that they admire. Read how I did it…
It made me
Elated and grateful
How I did it: Once you do it for yourself--the other part is so much simpler. Know thyself. It does sound silly and unnecessary but it is true that you must love yourself first. Read how I did it…

I have to admit that I have been scared. I think I am now ready. I have been taking care of my body and staying aware from bpa plastics and have been taking prenatal vitamins and also eating organic food.
I expect that my money will be in order and I will be done with school. I am really excited.
Buying a home has been on my list for awhile. I feel that there is some barrier to this I must think about. I am looking forward to traveling and coming home to my own place. I want a sense of community. I would like to have it sparsely decorated. I am looking for a balcony—where I can have dinner and breakfast with my partner.
I would like to have this place before I go to Uganda—I will be there for at least two months and would like to have a place to move my things to. I will meditate on this goal.
