HEL-LOOOOAAAAAA!!!!!!

How are ya my beautiful co-creators?! Guess what...it's *insert dramatic organ music here* DAY 100 FOR ME!
I can't believe it!!! Didn't really turn out the way I was expecting it to. You all know I had some personal challenges I was dealing with. I found it a little difficult to stay on the right path when it comes to positive attitude, being mindful of my present emotions, taking control of my life, being steadfast with my practices like meditating...etc etc etc. Trust me, I know it all works. But I guess it proved to be more challenging than I expected. My emotions went all over the place.

Sometimes, I learned, it ain't easy changing old habits and rewiring your brain to stop the "cycle". But, at least I wouldn't allow myself to fall TOO deeply down the "rabbit hole". Which is all I think God asks for us. Just do your best! At least that's my theory and I'm stickin' to it.

I totally agree with Eckert Tolle's assessment that the universe will give you whatever experience you need to allow you to reach enlightenment. The big question is whether or not we recognize the opportunities and be pro-active about engaging and learning from the experience. To be enlightened or not to be enlightened...THAT...is the question!

After I had to throw all my belonging away and move back in with my mom, I sorta went up and down and had some "start over" moments when it came to my goals for this challenge. Ultimately, I decided the main thing I wanted to achieve were the passing grades on my A+ Computer Certification test. I needed a 675. The first time I took it, I got a 650. I took it again yesterday, and went down to a 610. UNREAL! Totally sucks, and heartbreaking. And after night after night of studying on the computer! I admit, there were times I took breaks from studying and farted around on the Internet. There were times I got so overwhelmed that I didn't even study at all. But there were also times where I practically fell asleep at the keyboard. I figured I would have soaked in something...I mean c'mon universe, give me JUST ENOUGH knowledge to at least pass! UGH! No cigar.

But ya know what...I didn't pass. So there...the world didn't come to a screeching halt and implode. So now I gotta wait a whole 30 days before I can try and take it again. I start my 2nd class this coming Tuesday. I should have already finished the exams before I start this class, but I refuse to postpone this 2nd class. I'm disappointed. I feel a little ashamed. A little "lost" in life. But I'm alot better than I was yesterday. Again...PSHAW...It's not the end of the world. And from all the things I learned from exploring more about The Law Of Attraction...reading "A New Earth" and learning more about the EGO...and just from all my studies on spirituality and PSYCHOLOGY...I realize there's no reason to beat a dead horse. I just need make a decision as to how to move forward positively, try and learn a lesson from it all, and keep on, keepin' on!

Even though I really didn't achieve any of my goals, I STILL love this group. I still love learning more about the many various Universal Principles, etc. I still LOOOOVE me some Oprah! Ha Ha HA HA!!!

But I just think it all turned out incredibly different than how I expected. Some of you have manifested some awesome things...and I haven't really been the inspiration and success story like I thought I might be when this day rolled around. *hunches* But it's okay...really...I'm totally okay with it.

I have been on a spiritual journey since grade school I realize now. Understanding myself and my placement here has always been on my personal agenda. It's fascinating to look back now and see where I've been and what amazing enlightenment chapters there were, even before I wasn't calling it enlightenment. How many specific manifestations that materialized over the years before I knew they were manifestations...etc. So this time around, becasue I was so aware of my actions...I was hoping for some miracles...I sorta missed my mark...and yet, I've gained so much knowledge from the whole experience. And I'm definitely keeping it as a major part of my life. I'm not gonna get down...I'm gonna keep on trying to be positive and keep on smiling and laughin'!

I'm questioning if I'll do any more "seasons", but I think I will periodically post here when I have some awesome news to share and other experiences that can inspire and enlighten others that revolve around this sort of genre of life. But who knows...maybe I will start back in with season 2 one day. *hunches*...ya never know. Well, now that I'm not bogged down with studying for a few days, I'll probably get caught up on alot of videos I've missed from all my fabulous 100 Day YouTube Challenger pals out there. And I'll also try and read a few blogs. I won't be making any videos until I get a new camera. My old one died on me.

So thanks for making this season FAAAAAN-TAB-ULOUS!!! It's been great connecting with so many awesome people all over the world. You all are the BEST! You've been such an inspiration, so much fun, so insightful, so amazing, I can't say THANK YOU enough!!! So I raise my glass to Antonio's Season 1. It's a wrap folks! It was..."interesting". May not have ended on as big of a explosive finale like I thought, but I hope I shared a little bit of knowledge with ya...made ya smile...gave ya some encouragement...and you felt the love...because I definitely love ya all! YOU ALL ROCK!

And making the videos were SO INVIGORATING! I need to find some more ways to release my creativity. Hmmm...

Ciao for now! Have/Make it a LOVELY day!
XOXOXO!!

P.S. I'm coming to Chicago in January for the 100 Day meet-up...I BETTER see some of you there! Start saving NOW! It'll be a BLAST! :-)

Comment by Jenni on May 11, 2008 at 6:53pm: Congrats on your Day 100! That's a great accomplishement on it's own!
See you when you come to Chicago!

Comment by Paul on May 11, 2008 at 7:11pm: LOve the pictures. You're a ham and i mean that is a nice way. Good luck studying for you test. Have you looked into different study techniques. I have taught study skills to studetns, and recently to adult students where i work. You should try and discover your learning style or styles and work with them. Using as many senses as possible is most helpful. Write things down and read them out loud almost like you are the teacher teaching them to others. You involve all your senses and it can be quite a succes.. Take care :)

Comment by Dale R on May 11, 2008 at 10:25pm: You made to day 100. That is so awesome! Good for you. I'm glad you made it.

Comment by Donna on May 14, 2008 at 12:48pm: CONGRATULATIONS!!! Now listen here, I am CERTAIN that other challengers have said that season 1 was like a 'getting ready' season more than having inspiring stories to tell. I know I watched someone (who is another question...there's so much on here I lose track of who the heck said what!) who said that some of their intentions in season 1 were manifesting in seasons 3 and 4. You DID inspire me with your videos - I watched every one! And you know what? Sometimes other people need to see that these things take time - that they're not the only ones who didn't maintain their practices. I KNOW that you are going to achieve great things...and I hope you will be telling us all about them while you are on the way to achieving them. xxx

Comment by Sandi on May 17, 2008 at 4:12am: WELL................Where to begin, eh? You know, during this first season of mine, I have faltered terribly, letting discouraging parts of life pull me away from my goals, and basically just came to a screeching halt on even logging on to the site at all. BUT..... since I first saw your page, I was immediately intrigued by your E*N*E*R*G*Y!!!!!!! Man, you have SUCH talent!! You have SUCH a way with people, so uplifting, that I absolutely CANNOT read your hilarious yet solid blogs. I hope I'm not out of line by saying this, but could it possibly be that the failure of your testing mean that God has a different idea of what your calling is?!!!
I don't think you are failing necessarily, but that you are missing your true calling!!! Your energy is contagious!! I am in total admiration of how you take personal "failures" (as you see them) and make them funny to all of us..... Not that your struggles are funny, per se, but your ability to stay so uplifted when things aren't just "top notch" in your life. I've always had an excellent sense of a person's character, and I just consider you an amazing man!!! I know that we haven't really become "Ning Friends", but I'd like to communicate with you more. I've allowed personal struggles to keep me from logging on and making those Vlogs and Blogs when I needed them most.. I think shame made me hide away. God has great plans for you, I do feel that very strongly!!
I wish the best for you, Antonio, and I put a special prayer in my "GOD BOX" for you tonight that wonderful things find you.... soon! I think it's "your time" to shine. I'll be rooting for you, and I'm digging out my twenty-one year old Cheerleader Suit so I'll be more "equipped" to join the special "Antoniooooo's cheering section!!! Keep your chin high and your spirit higher.... Thank you for your words that have rekindled my aspirations to finish my Season Numero Uno with a bang!!!!

Take Care, Sandi

Comment by Sandi on May 17, 2008 at 4:14am: Sorry, one of my sentences was incomplete...... I meant to say I cannot read your blogs without laughing aloud!!
