Wow, it has been quite a while since I posted on this blog but I need to try to do this on a more regular basis because I live a fascinating life, of course, from my own perspective. Actually, I could use this as more of a journal of my life. Yes, that means I am opening myself up to the world but, basically, there is not much I need to hide from others in my life.

I had attend another great Mastermind Roundtable (www.mmt-roundtable.com) meeting this morning. There were about 30 people in attendance and we each had to talk about a personal "Butterfly Effect" based on a a book written by Andy Andrews (a must-read). So maybe my blog will have a "butterly effect" on someone.

Andrew (a friend) was there to help me promote my Gold Party I am having on Wednesday evening. He had the flyers and was asking people if they were going to come. Now, he is really good at doing this and I am very reluctant about doing this. This is one of the my many personality defects that I have. I am not very good at promoting what I am doing.

Now that has to do with my upbringing - female, Mexican-American, and Catholic - don't draw attention to yourself. Yes, I can do it in a group that I do not know but in a group that I do know I am very reluctant to do that. I know it sounds confusing and I will have to think about this a little more.

OK, I am will be ending soon but I want to comment a little on the Arizona lifestyle. I had to leave my dog home this morning because the mornings are not cool enough to keep him in the car with the windows rolled down without people calling the police about animal abuse. Yes, I had one of thsese incidents last week - no citation - but I can't leave him in the car. Yes, this means I will probably start getting complaints from the neighbor upstairs on his barking but I will deal with it when it happens.

Now, I need to close. It felt good about posting again. I will be doing this more often, I promise.

Happy Thanksgiving

Wow! It has been a few months since I have posted on this blog. I started a new one the other day called Create Abundance. I want to focus on bringing abundance to my life. I was just strucked witht the thought of instead of focusing on how Bob is not the person I want to be with any longer, I will focus on the type of man I want in my life and he will manifest himself to me. Whether it is Bob being the person I have stayed with but being a more emotionally-giving person or a new man will enter my life.

Anyway, I am packing for my trip to Yuma for Thanksgiving. I look forward to spending time with my family but I know how anxious I get around my sisters because of their criticism and judging. I will hold to my boundaries and not take their comments personally. I look forward to staying at David's house and seeing Gary's parents.

Well, I am making this short so I can pack and get ready for my trip. Be happy and be safe!

I am perfectly happy

I have been saying lately that I am perfectly happy in my own little world. Some of this has to do with contentious interactions with my sister and boyfriend. The boyfriend thing is ok now but the sister thing is still happening. Last week was a rough week because I was anticipating Mother's Day which would be the first Mother's Day since my Mom passed away in November.

Of course, the sister and I had a phone call that did not go well and Mother's Day ws not going to be a day of sharing and caring. I did have my boyfriend and other friends who were concerned about my well-being and offered to spend the day with me or I could join them on their planned activities. I spent the day with my boyfriend which was a very good day from going to church to watching Sopranos that evening.

Well, that's about it for now. I need to get on with the business of the day.

Perfectly happy in my little world,
ME! :-)
