Doest the secret work?

Day 48

Published on 2010-02-21 23:36:13

Hubby got me a necklace for Valentine's Day. It's a circle made of pewter I think. Written on it in script is, "To thine own self be true." I truly love it. During moments when I feel my ego creeping to the surface in reaction to something or someone, I touch the pendant, think of the words, and comply. It reminds me to be authentic, when I might otherwise play a role. Being my own self out in the open, is starting to become less frightening.I think now is a good time to revisit my list of thing

Living the Secret. Day 2.

Its day 2 and I'm starting to notice a shift already. So far its small things. For example, my husband and I decided we wanted lentil soup from this overcrowded, expensive restaurant that we normally go to. It was closed which was strange because it's Saturday, the busiest day of the week in that area of town. So we set off in search of something else. We drove around waiting for the universe to direct us to a different place.We found a hole in the wall grill and decided to go in. The restaurant

Living the Secret. Day 3.

Today was relatively unremarkable. There were a few things that were noteworthy. First of all, I have to confess, I let my husband read the blog so he saw the part where I asked for a dozen roses. I guess that's cheating. If I get them its a deliberate self-fulfilling prophecy. If I don't, then he's a jerk. Just kidding universe! Positive, Positive...So today was quite mellow. We mostly just vegged. Hubby did comment that I was unusually happy. I also noticed that I'm smiling and laughing quite

Sorry folks, I have to make this one short tonight. I am bone-weary tired. So here are the highlights from today:My usual 40 minute drive took only 20 minutes. It was like Moses parted traffic and I drove right through!Another awesome parking spot. I might start to gain weight if this keeps upYes, it happened. I asked, believed and received the best haircut ever!!Thank you universe!Tomorrow I'll talk a little bit more about the law of attraction. Warning - I'm a novice so I'm learning too. Sorry

Living the Secret. Day 5.

Okay, so a little break from the daily updates. Time to explain a little about what the law of attraction is. More specifically, how it is applied in the now not so elusive "Secret." Warning - I am a novice so I will explain it the best I can. A little research might help more with the background and also history of who has known the Secret in the past.The simplest explanation of the law of attraction is it is a universal law. It has been claimed to be the one of the most powerful laws in the un

Living the Secret. Day 6.

I fell off the positive wagon a bit today. I allowed a co-worker's negativity to affect me and I bitched about her to anyone who would listen basically. I was pretty quick to notice what I was doing and I tried, very hard to correct my frame of mind. It was actually quite a difficult thing to do.I eventually reminded myself that I was allowing someone or something else to control me and my reactions. So I searched the radio until I found Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder, cranked it up and sang at the t

Day 7

Wow its been a week already. What an amazing, inspiring week! Most days lately, I feel like I'm walking around in a blissful haze. Life is absolutely spectacular!!Tonight I'd like to share insights from some wise people from whom we can all gain inspiration to be better humans."Be the change you wish to see in the world." ~Gandhi"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." ~ Martin Luther King Jr"My religion is very simple. My religion is k

Living the Secret. Day 8.

So to wrap up my progress so far, no we haven't won the lottery yet but that hasn't stopped us from trying. I've lost 4 lbs and I'm not exactly sure how I did it. No flowers yet. Maybe for Valentine's Day...hint, hint. We're making some small steps in saving for our Africa trip. I'm in major dream mode right now. We might do more planning this weekend. I did get money in the mail. $20 in a card. Our property taxes are less so that kind of counts as extra money. I'm still waiting for a big raise

Living the Secret. Day 10.

Published on 2010-02-17 19:47:21

I've hit a bit of a snag in my little experiment this weekend. Actually I guess its not exactly a snag, more of a situation to observe. I'll get to the point. I'm in a bad mood. A really bad mood. I'm a cranky, down in the dumps, miserable, moody, snarky, crabby pants. And for no particular reason I might add. Its counterproductive to my objective here. Its creating all kinds of contradictions for me.On one hand I'm saying to myself, "Its really hard being happy, upbeat and on track all the time

Living the Secret. Day 11.

Published on 2010-02-17 19:46:46

I realized today that I need to watch the Secret again. I'm officially off track. I need to watch the Secret and reset my GPS. Hubby actually bought me the movie last week. Now we're just waiting for Amazon to hurry up and get it to me.I'm still in a mood. I'm tired and I feel like there are not enough hours in the day some days to find time to focus my energy on anything other than sleep. I promise, one way or another to get myself back up to snuff and headed down the positive path again. I don
