Profile

Relationship Status:: In a Relationship

Season:: Season 1

Starting Date:: April 18, 2008

Intentions & Goals:: -Fitness. I engage in physical activity every day and ENJOY it, doing it for the sake of enjoyment in the moment without working toward a goal.
-Money. I have abundance in my life and am stress-free about money.
-Health. I eat at least three servings of fruit per day. I eat a balanced diet that I greatly enjoy and feel comfortable with mentally. I eat what I want and trust that my body will crave what it needs.
-Mind. I do yoga almost every day and that acts as a meditation for me. I look forward to it and cannot wait to become even more peaceful and more limber.
-Gratitude. I realize how rich I am, both materially and in other areas of life regarding family, friends, work, etc. Each night I write down what I was thankful for that day.
-Work. I enjoy my job and am very productive.
-Community. I am very involved in my community. I act as a community leader and help residents enjoy their lives here even more.

Practices:: Journalography (Video Journal), Gratitude Journal, Reading, Fitness, Creating intentions, more

Quotes from The Alchemist

I definitely recommend The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Many of the ideas in it are related to things people in this network talk about. It is a fiction story written like a parable. It takes from many parables and old religious stories. Here are some quotes: The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy. To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only real obligation. All things are one. (p. 22) When I'm eating, that's all I think a… Continue

My Office--Before & After.

One of my intentions was to organize my home office (I work from home). Well, I'm done! It isn't perfect, but it's much much better. I can already tell that I'm working more productively because I'm in a cleaner space and I know where everything is. Yes! I've been meaning to do this for six months, but I start the 100 day challenge and finish it withing 3 weeks (1 week of actual straightening up). Amazing. Here are photos. BEFORE:… Continue

Spreading inspiration in little ways.

Last week I had to communicate via e-mail with someone I have never met before. In her signature line, under all her personal information, she had a quote about gratitude. It really brightened my day. I stopped and reread the quote a few times, then just sat and thought about the things I'm grateful for. It caused me to realize how EVERYTHING we do affects others in some way--there's no way out of it! Taking the time and effort to make the little mundane things turn into nice surprises can reall… Continue

Hope you are feeling better..I have the same flu I think so I have been taking it easy this weekend too. I think I am going to continue to rest this week so I can start some longer walks on Thursday! Talk to you soon! ♥ Dawn

At 2:44pm on May 10th, 2008, Yolanda said…: A girl from the neighborhood! I knew there was something special about you! You wouldn't believe how things are changing. I live on 19th and Paulina and there is an organic store on the corner. The local grocery store now sells wine in addition to beer. I'm trying to volunteer myself so we are in the same boat. I'll keep you posted. I look forward to your next vblog.

At 8:32pm on May 4th, 2008, Valerie said…: You should come to a Chicago meet-up FOR SURE! It's so much fun! Any info you can pass onto me for going green would be greatly appreciated. 1st off, where did you get your compost garbage can? I will try to stop by the green festival on Saturday after work... I will only be able to make it for a few hours but we could always meet up afterwards and share ideas?

Hope all is well!

Awesome! I'm really excited that there's overlap between your Season 2 and my Season 1. It might sound cheesy, but you're definitely an inspiration to me! Maybe I could come to a Chicago meet-up that you're going to sometime.

Also, I went totally "green" in the beginning of 2007 and know about tons of resources, so let me know if you're interested in hearing about anything. Yelp.com is awesome--people review green merchandise and businesses on there. Comment by jessica elgin 5 hours ago
Oh yeah, I'll be working at Green Festival again this year--May 17 & 18 at Navy Pier--definitely a good way to see tons of green products and companies. Maybe we could meet up there.

At 9:37am on May 2nd, 2008, Jenni said…: Thanks for the nice comments and welcome! You mentioned my vision board. Check it out. I have it posted in my photos. Have a fantastic day!

At 1:02pm on April 28th, 2008, Justen said…: Thanks, I change my backgrounds on my social networking pages often cause I tend to be on them so much I get a little stir crazy and have to shift things up a bit. I need new photos though because the ones I have are old... perhaps I should make that a manifestation goal. :)

All is well.
