Ninety Days

Day 1

Happy Easter! Today is the official start of my ninety days toward a created life. It feels good. I ran my 4.5 miles in Central Park, around the reservoir, and through the park. It was a beautiful day in the city, blue skies, 74 degrees, sunny, and gorgeous. The park was packed with runners, walkers, tourists, picnickers, dog walkers, kids, families, couples, cyclists…it seemed everyone was there savoring the spring weather. On my way back home from my run, I stopped by to pick up some magazines for my vision board. More on today’s activities later.

Although today is Day 1, I began yesterday with my practices. I did my 10-minute meditation and had a wonderful experience and feeling of gratitude for my new job. I could see and feel what the day looked like when I received the call to tell me I had the job. It was very real to the point where I am feeling the gratitude again right now. I also wrote two pages of visualization. I thought I’d have a hard time writing a paragraph, so writing two pages straight is good news to me.

What this new venture is about is creating breakthroughs in my life! Accessing new realms and creating wonderful things and experiences I couldn’t have imagined. Incredibly, I had ordered a CD from Joel Osteen a few days ago and it arrived yesterday. I listened to it, and the first disc, previously unbeknownst to me was called, Believing for a Supernatural Year. It was EXACTLY what I needed to hear. And, I discovered something incredible…

All this time, although I’ve believed in God, I don’t think I’ve ever believed that he could answer my prayers. I was shocked to realize this but in listening to the CD, I realized what true belief really is. I have wholeheartedly believed in God my whole life, and am happy to now wholeheartedly believe in his answering my prayers.  Funny, but I had forgotten that he has already answered my prayers many times, but I often failed to recognize it. This time, I have my eyes, heart, and soul open.

So, back to today, during my run I did some releasing. I went through and thought about all of the things I wanted to let go, and what I wanted to create in its place. For example, I released fear, and gained courage. I released insecurity and gained confidence and security, and so on. I also realized that how I feel mirrors my experience. So, I’ve been feeling insecure, or in other words, a lack of security, and that is what I’ve had, a lack of security not only in how I feel about myself, but also in my life experience.  We all know this is the case intellectually, but I really saw how it has manifested in my life.

OK, to make room for all of these great things I am creating in my life, I also threw away bags of old papers and files I’d been holding onto for I don’t know what reason. I shredded while I listened to the CD and time flew by. It was great. I put the CD onto my iPod so I can listen to it when I go to bed. It was the beginning of spring cleaning, within myself and my apartment! I also began on my vision board, but was only able to find five images in four magazines I bought. I will continue collecting images during the week to have a completed vision board by next weekend!

Sidebar: Something interesting that happened today is that I found a penny. Right in front of my left foot. I’ve always considered finding a penny a “sign” that I am on the right path, and that things are OK. For the last two months I haven’t found a SINGLE penny. Not one. And today, I stepped, one millimeter in front of one, looked down at exactly the right time to see it, I picked it up and smiled. Although it’s silly, I felt like everything was going to be OK.

Well, that’s a wrap and I look forward to seeing what great things will occur tomorrow!
