My Wish List for 2008

I was just reading an article by Joe Vitale (find him here at www.mrfire.com). It was his list of things he wants in 2007.

I'm a big fan of Joe and after handwriting the article (a copywriting exercise I like to do several times a week/daily), I decided I should write my own wish list for 2008.

So here goes.

These are in no particular order and would add to the end of each: This or something better.

1.) More loving, supportive and respectful relationships (in particular, a committed romantic one). I love my friends and my family and in 2008, I'd love to have more! I'd love to be a part of a local mastermind group who I can meet with at least once a month. And I'd love to have a magical romantic boyfriend. :)

2.) A more creative, writing-based job that pays double my current income. There is one job I have interviewed for and I am hoping for this one in particular. If not, something even better!!

3.) To buy my dream home. It has French doors, a patio, a fireplace, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. And a doggie door for my new pooch (who is also on my wish list for '08). I'd love for this house to be within sight of the Flatirons. This one excites and scares me a bit - a big investment on my part.

4.) A new doggie!!! I want an older, well-trained and obedient small or medium-sized dog (under 50 lbs). I'm excited for this one!!

5.) I want to visit western Europe - preferably England or Ireland for 2-4 weeks in 2008. I haven't been yet and it's about time!! It'd be even better if the entire vacation time was PTO from that kick ass new creative-driven writing job. :)

6.) Hang out at the Ouray Ice Festival in '08. Haven't been yet, heard it's wicked good fun and good folks.

7.) To own all of Joe Vitale's books and audio programs. If you want to help me accomplish this wish, head over to Amazon.com and look under Joe Vitale.

8.) I'd love to go to James Ray's Quantum Leap weekend in November of 08. You can find him on his web site, www.JamesRay.com.

9.) Wouldn't it be cool to get a new car for free? I'd dig it!! Why not! Here are a few I'd luuuuuvvvvvv: http://www.klubvmax.pl/img/auto2/1967CorvetteStingray_0.jpg

10.) And finally I wish to live each and every moment in a state of peace, happiness, grace, joy and love. It all begins with me and I know this is possible.

Self-Love: It Isn't Just For Hippies

I had an interesting thought the other day...I was pondering my romantic relationships (and lack thereof). I came to the realization that the reason I haven't attracted my ideal man is because I'm not my ideal woman.


And then I came to an even clearer realization: I AM my ideal woman, I just didn't believe it or acknowledge my greatness before. I hadn't fully embraced me and my unending love for myself.


I'm not saying I'm fully there every moment of every day (I certainly have my "Oh heavens I hate my thighs" moments like 99.9999999% of all women) but I'm on that plane a helluva lot more than I have been in the past. It's a cool place to be..that place where you love yourself about all else. I kinda dig it, think I'm going to camp out here and stay awhile!


Other things going on...finished my copywriting apprenticeship program. You can check it here:

I'm getting ready to go to Mexico in a couple of weeks. WOOOOOOOO me!!! YAY! Can you tell I'm pretty darn excited for that? It's going to be a blast! I'll take pictures and share them with you. You'll wish you were me..or at least had been there with me! I like the latter better.


Hmmm...other stuff? Looking at houses, test driving BMWs (did you know if you own a corporation...as I do...that you can lease a company car and write off the entire monthly lease payment??? Good grief!! My BMW is free baby!!!) and generally loving life. And I owe it to the three pivotal experiences: my copywriting apprenticeship (I owe about 90% of my outlook to it), The Secret and Holosync.


Well there is a fourth thing I owe my success to... ME. I'm tougher, stronger, more talented and simply more amazing than I ever thought I was. Maybe that sounds like bragging to you and that's fine if it does. I just know I love me and I wake up every day ready to explore deeper and experience more of me.


For a woman who hasn't really known unconditional love before that's huge. I now unconditionally love myself.


Other stuff...training for a half-marathon, reading a lot of great books (Joe Vitale, Robert Bly, Bill Harris and at some point James Ray's Science of Success whenever the heck it comes in. It's on hold for me in 2 places and it's not here yet).


I'm also awaiting the arrival of my laptop. It's been 5.5 days and it's still not here. I'm about to pitch a damn fit because it should've been here 2 days ago.


Not to mention my ongoing issues with insurance. My agent skipped town, doesn't return my calls and hasn't paid me money he owes me. But I'm sure both situations will resolve themselves this week. I'm causing the insurance issues because I hate paying for the bloody crap. *sigh* I'm letting go of that thought and replacing it with a positive "insurance is helpful" thought. Soon I'll believe it.


Yep, that wraps it up...at least as much as I can go into now. I ran 4.5 miles tonight which is the most I've done in the last 2 months so I'm beat. I'd love to tell you all the things I'm discovering about quantum physics, the laws of the universe and the sisterhood of science & religion but it's a bit heady and I'm too damn tired to explain. :) If you're really interested just check out The Secret or Joe Vitale or James Ray (two of my favorite teachers).


Hugs and kisses...
