Life Changing Day

so i'm back down the shore - up in north Jersey we lost all power and electric *tress down everywhere and roads closed, traffic lights out, ect.*  - i had to boil water on the stove and keep the shower running on hot to keep the house comfortable - at points you could see my fog of my breather!!! - i was fully bundled in North Face gear WITH my Tigger snuggie on - oh and 4 pairs of socks - plus 2 dogs and Joe! ...

*but on a positive note - all the booze in the fridge HAD to be drunk before they were no good - we were good at that - always a positive to a situation*

so i've been talking about this BIG LIFE CHANGING NEWS - well here it is - official:

• i psych-do quit my job - only going into the office once a month
• dedicate myself to yoga and meditation
• see a Shaman once a week for guidance
• sign myself up to a gym and get ride of the 'jiggles"
• and the MOST SHOCKING - a 12 month spending freeze - NO shopping for me AT all for 12 months (only necessities, b-day presents, dinner, gas, food, ect.)
• pay off every single debt i have and watch my credit score sky rocket (it's been raising but i want a HUGE jump feel me? -800 please )
• save money to reface my entire house in 2012 *already found my contractor and colors and awning material - but gonna wait till spring 2012 - my new porch back roof will be completed by the same company in 2 weeks (that raccoon did a major on my roof *boo*)
• eat an anti-cancer diet - be fully informed and make my own decisions with my body
• these next 12 months are all about ME - discovering who i am, going to self help lectures, join local activities, meet new cherished friends, volunteer, ect.
• i plan for a non-material 12 months - but a major inner journey - which i hope ends in a trip of a life time to Africa!
• find a masters/PhD program and go back to school
• these are the basics of my 12 month plan

SO ALL in ALL i'm taking 1 year to better understand myself, explore life and it's opportunities, come up with a solid business plan, but for these 12 months to just be about ME and my BODY, MIND and SOUL - a super excursion if you will - i'm stoked!

i know i know - an EVEN BETTER version of myself - holy spaceballs - it's gonna be good!
