Happy Monday all! I hope everyone is having a great day. 

      Last Weeks Wishes

* Use the Singing Bowl - Done! Most days last week I would come home from work and practice making my bowl sing. Some meditation happened with it too, but I was mostly playing around and enjoying my new toy. This week, I really want to meditate at least 3 days this week. I will consider it a warm up for next week when The Deepak & Oprah meditation will start on the 11th. You can sign up here, if you want to try it out too!

* Eat.Sleep.Drink.Coding - True to my word, I did just that! I swear every Single night I dreamt about coding and when I wasn't actually coding, I was thinking about coding freaking out about coding!! Hopefully this week I can not freak out and just be open and receptive to what I"m learning. :)

This Weeks Wishes

* Faster Homework - When I tell you that I studied alllllll daaaaay loooong on Saturday I'm totally not kidding. I really want to start using my time more wisely and get the homework done. It will be a little easier now that I have the know-how to get help when I'm stuck.

* Track Food & eat Better - I've been eating really poorly for probably the last two weeks and now my body is making me pay for it, by giving me stomach problems. If you've ever had those problems, then you know they aren't fun. At.All. So, my action plan is to track my food in my handy phone app and make sure I'm getting some more fruits and veggies into my diet. The biggest way I'm gonna obtain the fruit & veggies is by putting them all in a blender and then Ta-Da! drink them all down all at once. So I'll have that in addition to whatever I eat. :)

It's gonna be another short-ish week of wishes for me. Good luck with your goals this week!

Ciao!

Happy Monday all! My weekend was Pretty lax. I did a lot of studying for my class this evening (eek) and went to go see the movie 'Lucy'. The movie was pretty awesome and I highly recommend seeing it. As for the studying, I will more than likely see coding in my sleep. Take right now for instance.. I can't help but wonder if I'm coding something correctly (although I'm just talking to you) when I'm using " ", ==, ( ), and +. So how did your weekend go? Did you do anything exciting and fun? Let's talk about last Weeks Wishes.

Last Weeks Wishes

* Acclimate to the Mac - I've been getting better and better at stuff as I go. I've finally figured out how to hide the doc at the bottom, set a new wallpaper, figured out how to change between all of my open windows, put it to sleep, and the shortcut commands for copy and paste! By no means am I a pro yet, but I'm on my way. It's really weird trying to do certain things, because I'm used to doing things on a PC, but it's all good. Oh, and Thank Gawd for Google, because I find anything I have a question about how to do from there, which most of the time leads me to YouTube. #success

* Eat Healthier Food Options - Welllllllllll, this didn't happen as much as I would've liked, but I did try. That's all that's important, right? Right? I did cook a healthy stir-fry last night. That's something. :) We'll talk about that in another post though.

This Weeks Wishes

* Use the Singing Bowl - I forgot to mention that I did a little shopping over the weekend! I went into this metaphysical store called Synchronicity that I hadn't been in for a long time. It was actually the first metaphysical store I had ever been in, because one of my former co-workers introduced me to it. Anyway, I saw some Tibetan singing bowls (used in meditation) in there and one of the ladies who worked in there showed me how they work. Then I got a free demonstration from a guy that uses them for healing and massage. It was So.Freaking.Awesome. I've always been curious about them and so I'm glad that I had the opportunity to finally buy one.

* Eat.Sleep.Drink.Coding - Maybe by the time you read this I will be in class meeting new people and learning all kinds of stuff. I really want to learn a lot and do as well I can, so that means setting aside time everyday to study. I need to be about my business so that I can move onwards and upwards! Wish me luck and of course I'll tell you all about my adventures. :)

Alright peeps, it's gonna be another short-ish week of wishes for me. Although, these two wishes/goals will involve a lot of time and effort. What your goals for this week?

Ciao!

Today and this week are off to a very good start! I feel inspired, motivated, and full of love. I feel like big changes are coming in my life and I'm very excited about them. More on that in a different post. Let's talk about Last Weeks Wishes, shall we?

Last Weeks Wishes

* Make a trip to Goodwill - I haven't actually gone to Goodwill yet, but I have collected up a few things that I'm willing to part with.



* Care Packaging - I haven't gotten this sent off yet or even gotten everything that I want to get, but I do have a list of what I need and I have all of the packing supplies. At least half the battle is done!

* Go to Bed on Time - To be honest with you, I don't even remember if I did it or not! I think I may have... but I really don't know. I was so tired last week and for some reason I kept having nightmares and waking up in the middle of the night. At least I got rest over the weekend.

This Weeks Wishes

* Post-It - Can I admit something? Half the time, I forget what my weekly wishes are and then I will remember them halfway through the day and be like, 'Oh yeah!! I was supposed to _____'. I can't do anything about it at the time, because I'm always at work. To remedy this, I'm going to start writing them down, that way it's in front of me all the time.

* Birthday Plans - I want to sit down and really think about what I want to do on my birthday on this upcoming 29th. Whoop! Whoop! I never... ever... everevereverever work on my birthday if I don't have to. So I have some planning to do. :)

* Write - I should really just stop being scared and just write some more on my book! It's just the first draft anyway. I think the intimidating part is thinking about someone reading and critiquing it. The thing is... I don't have to let anyone read it just yet, do I? The problem is, I also like feedback. Must.Push.Through.

Okay, that's it kiddies. Share with me what your wishes or goals are this week!

Ciao!!

Well friends I don't know about you, but I'm off to a stellar start for the week. Not for any particular reason. I just feel good, rested, and in a fairly cheerful mood! Well no, I take that back... I'm really geeked, because although it seemed like it took foreverrrrrrrrrr, I finally have my new domain name up and running!!! (Thank to hubby to be!) YAY! I was Life Happens and now I'm A. Sparkle Says! Go ahead and take a look at the address bar and you'll see it. :) I'm chair dancing as we speak.. So without further ado..

Last Weeks Wishes

* No meat for one week - I did it!! I really really did it! This is a total big deal for me. Never did I think I could go even one day without meat and I did a week! I learned a big lesson in doing this that I didn't expect at all. It's like facing a fear and ripping it to shreds! It feels damn good I tell ya! More info on the next blog post about this.

* Focus on Etsy shop - Totally did this one too. I've rearranged and set things up the way I need them and I'm ready to start setting up sales with coupon codes. Anyone else ready for Mother's Day? Oddly enough, I now have been commissioned to make two sets of hats ands baby booties. I'm excited to get started. More updates to come on this later as well. 


This Weeks Wishes


* Start the Purge Process - For whatever reason I've felt the need to look through my stuff and get rid of all the things I don't need. I'm feeling a little cramped and that makes me anxious, so it's time to get this done. I'll start with at least 5 things, but the overall goal is to get rid of at least 100 items.


* Revamp the blog - I'd really like to find another template and change up some of my pages. So be on the look out for a new look. :)


* Weight Train & Exercise - I gotta put this one back on the list since I've fallen off. It seems like everyone around me is losing weight and getting in shape. It's mosdef time for me to get back on my grind, especially since Summer is fast approaching.



Welp, that's it friends! What are your wishes and goals this week? :)

Ciao!

Last Weeks Wishes


1. Exercise! (yes again!) - I did it!! I worked out three times this week and now I feel sore, shaky, and it hard to walk down stairs. Who am I kidding... it's hard to walk at all!! Lol. 
It's a good thing though. :)

2. Spring Clean - This was halfway done. I got something's cleaned and others are still seeking attention. I'll give this one another go.

3. Letter writing - started writing a letter that I haven't finished yet. Maybe I'll get to it this evening?



This Weeks Wishes

1. I still want to exercise, clean, & finish my letters and all that jazz, so let's just roll this into one.

2. Prepare my lunches the night before - It will just make life a lot more simple in the mornings if I do this. I absolutely hate being late for work, so this will minimize rushing.(which I don't like either)

3. Cut out fast food - In order to lose the 10 lbs I want by the end of the month I can't eat this stuff. To be honest, the fast food restaurants near me aren't very good, so no point in wasting money that way.

So that's it kiddies! What are your wishes for this week?

Last Weeks Wishes

*Exercise - Yeah well... does doing a lot of walking at a car show count? If not then I didn't get this one accomplished. :op

*Finish my crochet kerchief project - Er... Nope.

*Do some writing on the book - I'm ashamed to say no!!

(hangs head) I have no idea what I was doing all last week! Lol. I'm sure whatever it was I thought I was busy and it was important, but now it's time to start again.

Sooooooo...

This Weeks Wishes

1. Okay.. I know it's been on there for the past three weeks, but I'm throwing exercise back on the list! This will fall under one of my previous wishes to practice good time management. Even if I have to secretly do twenty jumping jacks in the bathroom stall at work I'm getting some kinda exercise in this week!!

2. Spring clean - I don't know why, but when Spring does finally roll around I get the urge to clean clean clean! So the plan is to pick one thing everyday and just go balls to the wall at it. Maybe today I'll tackle the bathroom? Get rid of products I don't need, dust, & general cleaning.

3. I have a few letters I need to write that I've procrastinated on. It's time to get those written and done.

April Monthly Goals/Wishes

1. I really want to get back to regular meditation and journaling. It helps me to deal with stress and keeps me focused. I want to make it a daily practice. I plan to interchange what I'm doing every other day. If I start out meditating on my Monday, then I'll journal on Tuesday and so forth and so on.

2. I'd really reeeeeally like to drop about 10 lbs this month. That will get me back into wonderland (i.e. the 100's) and I will feel like I've accomplished something really big, because... it's a big deal.

3. Re-Connect with my friends. Sometimes life gets busy and it's easier just to check to see what's going on with people through Facebook or Twitter. I want to actually call my friends and say hello and maybe send them something nice in the mail to let them know I'm thinking about them and that I care.

****

I hope everyone is having a lovely Monday! I'm determined to get a lot of work done today and really get some things accomplished. So that's it for now. Tell me what's going on with you. Do you have some goals for April?

Ciao!

Last Weeks Wishes

So last week (and the week before) I said that I wanted to accomplish putting pencil to sketch book and actually drawing something. Well it actually happened! I suppose I was preoccupied and in a creative open-minded place while I was watching Oprah's Lifeclass. Something just told me to go grab my sketch book and start drawing. I drew what I always enjoy drawing which are faces. Maybe it will turn into a series? The world may never know.

The other wish I had was to pay more attention to time management. I totally killed this one and I feel like I got everything done that I wanted to do. I'm two for two this week! 

I was also semi working on exercise, because who isn't ever working on that? I made the initiative to go for a walk on the trail nearby. Actually did four miles too! Felt good afterwards except for the big blister that was on my foot. Nothing that a little soak in hot water and Epsom salt couldn't cure though. :)

This Weeks Wishes!

1. Yeah well I guess exercise is still on the list. Meh..

2. As long as my hands aren't yelling at me, I'd like to finish my crochet project that I started 2 weeks prior.

3. Attempt to write some more on the book. I must simply get over this hump I seem to have hit in the story!



Well that's it for now lovely friends. How was your week?

Ciao!
