Your Life, Designed

AHHHH..... It's finally here, the official copy of my book. I have been working with a spiral bound copy for over a year now and teaching with it, but it is finally finalized and WOW, what a feeling to hold it in my hand.

It is a bit surreal, but then I remember those nights when I was up at all hours of the night getting thoughts out of my head. That was a funny time, and I use the term funny very loosely. When I decided that I needed to write the book, I decided to increase my metal element to make me more focused and organized. In our old home, my office fell in the creativity area so I decided that I would metal that room up. I painted it silver and then put a silver glaze over it. I felt the difference in me immediately. I couldn't sleep, I kept lists and was bit OCD. It was great to get stuff done and focus, but Paul had to sit me down and talk about it....

I believe his exact words were "honey, you know we love you but you are driving us nuts!" So I asked what we had done in the house lately (duh?) and we looked at each other and said "THE OFFICE". We quickly balanced the room and I too became more balanced and it gives me a great story to share as a reminder that excess isn't the way to go. Me being an all or nothing kind of girl makes that hard, but that is what I strive for!

Anyway, the book is complete (at least the first addition) and I have started my next one. I have to admit it feels really good to have a list of goals and be able to check them off one by one and have a few things you get to do that you never considered might be possible for you. I love possibilities and am so grateful that I have so many of them open to me... all I have to do is look around and they are right in front of me.

Here is to possibilities!

here it is.....

Ok, I have just about finished Logan's room. The only thing missing is the shadowbox of his autographed jersey from all of the Spurs that will go in his ancestry area!! (representing where he gains his basketball knowledge from)

Here is what we did and why we did it.

*We painted the room a metal/earth color which supports this area of the home and helps us with our business by attracting all of those helpful people and gives him structure, order, stability and rules.

*We picked black furniture because we wanted him to have a connection with himself and with something bigger than he is so that he maintains his confidence throughout life.

*In his journey area we placed a black and white guitar (sound energy) and pictures of people he wants to be like. This area represents possibilities and we want him to see the unlimited possibilities around him everyday.

*We linked the journey area to the abundance area with a matching guitar (Paul's) to link possibilities with abundance, not only for him for the the entire family.

*In his abundance area we also included the airplane posters and pictures that he really wanted to keep, an abundance of travel might be fun!

*In his relationship area we placed his 5 year old Bearded Dragon, Spot, to represent him nurturing something outside of himself and his new Lamborghini poster that represents fire thus replenishing the earth.

*In his creativity area we placed a large Spurs logo and his rack that holds all of his basketballs. The rack is metal and the shape of the balls represent metal so it activates that area of the room inspiring him to be creative.

*In the helpful people area we added a world map. This will declare his territory and ours too! I have also begun putting maps of different places in his closet. When I run across a perfect map that has to do with basketball, I will be moving that map to the closet also.

This room was a lot of fun for me because I see all of the benefits it will bring not only Logan, but the entire family AND he LOVES it. I went in there the other morning while he was getting ready for school and he was sitting in his chair (that is in his wisdom area) looking around. I asked him what he was doing... he said he was just enjoying his new room. I sat on his bed and looked around and have to admit, I enjoyed it too!

It feels really good and came together perfectly. He went from having a little boy's room to a young man's room. Very cool!!

I'll let you know how it goes!!
