4. Yay free birthday food!! Whoo hoo!!!


5. Party is awesome! Like grown up chucky cheese!


6. I feel love all around me!

8. Look at all the lights and fun around me! I am so excited!


9. I still have my 'touch' I beat the high score in the basketball game.


10. Lunch with my friend and coffee with another, finished off with a birthday bash...not a bad day!

Day 3

1. Woke up reeeeeallly late. So much for awareness


2. Look at all of my fun gifts my friends got me! They are so cute! We played games all night and at the end they put all of their tickets together (1200) to buy me gifts! How sweet is that!!! lol I got a disney princess ball and an elmo plush. Expensive winnings yes, but the experiance was priceless. Definately the best birthday I have had in a long time.


3. On the road to see the BF. Couldn't imagine not being able to spend it with him. I am a little bummed bc I mis-heard him and thought he had the following week off and he was coming here. Oh well....on the road again. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TD_pSeNelU)


4. Yay im excited, my bf told his cast its my birthday maybe we are going to have bday party num 3!


5. I was wrong. No party tonight. Just hanging out with the cast members.


6. Great. fight with the bf. way to top off my bday. i guess i should have stayed home.


7. Ugghh the energy is all wrong.


8. I hate applebees :-(


9. Grrr what a bad night.


10. Stomach is cramping.

Day 4

1. Trying to forget about yesterday. There's plenty of time for birthday on a lazy sunday.


2. Great! the Bf's director called an impromptu rehersal which is going to take 5 hours AFTER their already scheduled play. I give up.


3. Decided to stay in and stream Agape church because my energy is headed south!


4. Feeling really great because I get to stream with Laurie. Rev is talking about being your self! Perfect.


5. Oh well...since I can't have the birthday celebration with the BF that I want, I am gonna have some self celebration at the mall...Arden B sent me a coupon and godiva has choc covered strawberries.


6. Welp...godiva is out of milk choc strawberries and arden b for the first time ever has nothing that I want. good grief.


7. Eating some other kind of Godiva strawberries. Close second.


8. Talking w Laurie...she's having guy probs. Glad to be there for her.


9. Met up with the BF in transition to his rehersal for about 45 min and we had Del Taco....gross.


10. Spent the bulk of the day by myself and learning how to make a zipper necklace. On the one hand today mostly sucked. On the other, I had good fellowship, a good word, a decent berry or two and learned something I have been wanting to do. I at least feel good about getting the first part of the necklace done.

DAY 5

1. When it rains it pours...literally. Gonna be a long drive home.


2. I asked theo to grab me french toast breakfast. Greatful that he got it.


3. Theo filled up my gas tank twice this weekend. That felt good. Especially because I didn't ask him.


4. Wild turkeys on the side of the road!


5. Woah i can't see anything--my windows are iced over


6. Went to get groceries and had to venture into the 'processed' section that i never go into to make sure i had food incase the power went out. Something weird about eating food with such a long shelf life :-/


7. As serious as the situation in egypt is...the BF and i were laughing at some of the images conjured up in our heads painted by the news. Mainly that they were running down the streets with Samauri swords and pitch forks. Random...but effective. Nothing says get out of town Mubarak like a Samauri sword!


8. Yummmmy Sun dried tomatoe hummus and garlic herb pita chips!


9. Canceling my class tomorrow. They are talking about crazy storms tomorrow!


10. Can't sleep.

Day 6

1. Lazy snow day. And tech failures. Can't get my videos to act right. Our internet is down and i can't go anywhere. Too many learning curves. This is a new mac so nothing is second nature. Ugh.


2. I was supposed to be having fun with this video project but its giving me a terrible time :-/


3. I have resolved that my videos will be far from perfect. Sigh.


4. Classes are canceled tomorrow! Maybe I can figure it out then


5. Movie night with the roomies! Yay slumber party.


6. Ok...how did the clutter come back to my room. Darn you clutter fairy!


7. My orchid is lovely!


8. Thinking about buying my roomate flowers for valentines day since she doesn't have a bf.


9. Snow is starting to fall!


10. RACHAEL! >:-O

10 things i noticed today

1. I took a new way home and realized there are dinosaurs in champaign!


2. I love creating things and have been newly inspired to make art out of repurposed 'stuff'


3. My jade is fine :-)


4. I love my hair. Its strong, curly, natural and authentic.


5. the warm covers on my body as the coldness surrounds outside puts me to sleep. This has to be one of the reasons babies cry when they come out of the womb.


6. I am interested in learning more about the material that common advertising waste is made out of and then repurposing it. Inspiration starts in my heart. There is a literal sensation that makes it jump and tingle and makes me bouncy and steps springy :-)


7. I love the smell of my soy candles ...and I feel great that they are soy


8. I want Godiva chocolate covered strawberries


9. I am sooooo glad I don't have to do anything on my birthday tomorrow


10. I need to go to the gym! Can't wait to see what a couple months of training will do.

10 Things i noticed today.

1. When i cut my onions today...I cut the onions. When I chopped my cilantro...I chopped the cilantro. No distractions just paying attention. And my food tasted even better.


2. Reading Deepak chopra's 3rd Law of success...the law of Karma...it is talking about doing good to others even when u don't want to. The energy will come back. Do good when you want to do so the least. To the person you don't want to do it for. I bought my roomate a cupcake.


3. Life is short. Eat dessert first! :-D


4. I wish that people could stay babies. Or at least children. Before the days of manipulation, and fear based decision making.


5. Streamed live to Agape Spiritual Center's wed service. One thing that came out of it: emotion is a subset of our perception. God doesnt have perception. God has vision of reality. That is why god is constant....I am glad that God is not as emotional as I am. How scary would that be...Emo God.


6. I fell asleep asking 'how can I best be of service?' last night...i only saw something that looked like a restaurant. I think i got distracted while meditating lol! I must discipline my mind.


7. My jade plant is thirsty


8. I am excited! My friends Laurie and Natalie are planning a birthday party for me! Yay!


9. I slept wrong, wrong, wrong last night....


10. This morning, I went to the mirror after my 'mirror fast' and realized I am not as 'fat' as I thought. I think I am probably at least 20 lbs smaller than what I thought i looked like in my mind. How did my perception get so warped? I actually like my body! Go figure. Now i just gotta tighten the gears a bit :-)

10 things I noticed today day 5

I  wasn't very aware today, but here were some things I noticed.

1. I am anticipating eating my breakfast, toast with honey, butter and a glass of milk...one problem...no  honey! I know it was here. I am frustrated looking for it.


2. Found the honey it was in my roomate's room...WHY?


3. Argument over honey. My roomate seems to think it's hers...I clearly bought it for my Sweet and Sour Thai noodles...I am annoyed.


4. Stress starts in my stomach and feels like a hand closing it up


5. I have said I don't know twice >:-(


6. My students are attentive today!


7. I feel soooo tired. Sleep. sleepiness is like a drunken heavy fog.


8. where did my day go...it's dark already.


9. Now I can't sleep.


10. Trying to meditate but all I can see are those fireworks that you see when you close your eyes. It made me think of my younger interests in being a pyrotechnic. Going to see if i can make one swirl.

10 Things I noticed today day4

1. I am feeling inspired to create. Not just with artistic things but perhaps a class for the advertising dept. Maybe I will make that into a part of my independent study


2. I have an excitement and curiosity to make culturally relevant dolls for black girls--perhaps with locs.


3. It is now 7:00 and I realized that I lost my day somehow and I need to catch up.


4. I dont feel as stressed about teaching my class


5. I want to try making a Persian Love Cake...the taste of rosewater is unmistakably delicious. I have only had it once but i have craved it ever since. Bought the ingredients a bit ago but never made it.


6. Talked to my grandmother today. She sounds tired. She never sounds tired.


7. I zoned out to a fantasy in my mind...i dreamed someone sent me beautiful flowers...roses, callalillies, tulips, all bright and cheery! Dove truffles, godiva chocolate covered strawberries. I have visons of a wonderful dinner (which they pay for) --we ride in a horse and carriage around the city and catch a broadway show! AMAZINGLY CLICHE fantasy lol! I don't know why I fantasize like this. I guess because i am in a long distance relationship and I wish we could be closer and do more romantic things. I think that's the only thing i want for in my relationship because my man is as close to perfect as a man can be.


8. Microfibersuede feels soothing to my skin


9. Im not as 'fat' as I thought. In my head I think I was much bigger last week.


10. I am craving something delicious and exciting. Something to perk up the taste buds. Sounds like a cupcake break. I can taste the vanilla bean frosting now :-)...only a little one or i will undue EVERYTHING i did yesterday.

10 Things i noticed today Day 3

1. I am greatful for the technology that allows me to stream live to Agape Church in LA.


2. I enjoy Natalie and Laurie's company. Whenever we hang out there are not enough hours in the day!


3. I worked out today for the first time in a year (i think it's been that long...which is ridiculous). I didn't die at the gym but worked out for a power hour! I enjoyed working out with Laurie.


4. I have a mixture of energy and fatigue. I am excited to put something beneficial in my body


5. There are so many veggies at the store that i do not know how to make!


6. I think my Deepak Chopra book is helpful. In thinking about the 2nd law of spiritual success--the law of giving and recieving....I am finding that I often expect not to recieve and that this is an area of frustration in my life. I do not expect reciprocity. Could I possibly be manifesting imbalance through assuming it will be there?


7. Sabra's sun dried tomato hummus + Kangaroo's Garlic Herb Pita Chips+Mixed green Salad and seasoned tuna and for dessert...Oranges w/Honey! Delicious. The tartness of the oranges balances the sweetness of the honey perfectly.


8. I feel light today. Like I am floating. Random songs keep coming into my head like Paula Abdul's Cold Hearted Snake, an oldie but goodie dancable song. I listened to it and Janet Jackson's Rhythym nation and jammed for old time sake. Where has all the good music gone?


9. My joy rubbed off on my boyfriend who is still grieving to the point where he started dancing on skype :-) This makes me happy knowing that something(s) about today went so well that without even trying I was happy and made someone else happy as a side effect.


10. I didn't say I don't know even once today! :D
