I just remembered how much I want to live in the city

Today my little sister, Maria, and I went to Chicago today. We totally did tourist things at the beginning, and it was TONS O FUN.

First, we took pictures by Buckingham Fountain
(Pictures of this were on her camera, so they are coming soon.)
Then by the bean





After that we saw the puppet bike, which I makes me SUPER happy. I look for that like every time I go downtown.

Zen we shopped and went to Giordano's



Then we went home...good day.





yeah...didn't really take pictures of what we were wearing. You just gotta trust me. We looked cute.

Update on The Secret

I have been practicing The Secret for about a month now, and my life has seriously improved. Every little bit of skepticism inside of me is gone. I am nowhere near reaching all of my goals, but I can see them coming together. I am no long stressing about what I'm going to do if I can't be a jewelry designer, or how I can ever afford to finish college. It is safe to say that right now, my life is Pure Bliss.

I have the greatest people in the world surrounding me.
I have a greatest family alive. (the secret didn't change that, they've always been great.)
I have the greatest boyfriend alive.
I can finally say I have enough money to do the things I want, AND I am constantly coming across new opportunities to make money! (guess who just added ADS to her blog!!)

I really want people to start reading The Secret. Of course there are times that I get down in the dumps, but imagine my life if I could just stay positive through those times too. Now think of people who are constantly negative...look what such a small change can do.

Life is Grand!

Now I am going downtown with my little sister. We are dressing cute so I may have to copy off of fashion bloggers and take pictures of ourselves..lol

My life

I haven't posted in like...a week, so I know you people have been on the edge of your seats waiting..and waiting for me to talk about my life and goals some more.

This past week started off horrible, but let me tell you...from Tuesday on it was GRReat!

I don't really have any new goals to mention, but I would like to update on goals I've already talked about. First of all, I've been working a lot these days, so I'm thinking with my extra money I am going to buy a dressform...I have a coupon! I really want to start making some clothing.

Another goal, I mentioned is getting fit. You see....I've been a lazy cow. I want to start jogging, but I just don't know when. I've been working at 5am so if I want to jog in the morning I would have to do that at 3:30 and....uh...no. I would probably run at night, but I'v been told that it's not good to run before bed. And don't even get me started on the cow part.

The Secret. Besides that paragraph above, I have been doing pretty well with thinking positively. Not as good as I like because I say things like the paragraph above. I still have lots more to read up on the law of attraction, but like I said: I've been being a lazy cow these days.

Also...I'm really happy.

Negativity

I have been having such a hard time thinking positively these days, and I really don't know how to fix this. I keep getting this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach, and no mood switcher that I can think of can fix this.

I am also seeing the negative effects of this, and I don't like it one bit. I haven't really read The Secret in like a week. Perhaps I should do that. I need to get out of this funk.

New Goal: New Car

So here I am, still obsessing about The Secret. While I obsess, I think to myself..."If this really works, how come I have spent the past four years thinking about how I need a new car and have not gotten one?" Way to be dumb, Lauren. Instead of attracting a new car, I've been attracting NEEDING a new car...what dumb dumb.

I think...
"woe is me I have a crappy car"...and the transmission starts leaking.
"ugh, I need a new car"... the starter breaks
"I really need a new car now"...Oh look my door breaks
"I need a car with a door that opens from the inside"...bye bye seatbelt

You see my situation??? Now that I am new, improved, and informed I can attract GETTING A NEW CAR! YAY!

So everyone guess what! I'm getting a new car! :)
Now I need to pick out what kind of car I want so I can visualize myself driving it.

Thank you very much

So ummm...I think people are starting to think I'm a little kookie. I have been a bit obsessed with The Secret, and I keep trying to share my knowledge. Some people just won't have it...oh well...I'm sure this obsession will die down a bit eventually.

My newest goal (yes it's related to the secret:)

There is one guy in The Secret that talks about his gratitude rock. It's just a random rock that he picked up off the ground that he keeps in his pocket. Every time he touches it, he thinks of something he's grateful for. Gratitude is obviously a positive energy, and being grateful for something will attract it. AND for you Negative Nancy's(no mom, i'm not referring to you, it's just a phrase), that don't believe me about this stuff, it just feels good to think of things you are grateful for.

So, my goal is to integrate this into my own life, but I don't want to keep a stone in my pocket. We all know I like jewelry, so I just started wearing a black iridescent bracelet that I made a couple years ago. My plan is every time I look at it I think of something I am grateful for. When I say look at it I mean LOOK at it, and realize its existence on my wrist.

I am grateful for the great year 2010 is, and will continue to be! :)
