I haven't been coming to CCOR but something happen to me yesterday which I want to share.



My 8yr had a play date with a classmate, yesterday afternoon. I planned to bake a sponge cake and had checked the kitchen for all the ingredients. When the time came to make the cake, I was stuck with my 3yr and wasn't able to make the cake.



When 8yr DS's friend was over at our house, DH's coworker's drove by with a sponge cake!!! He said that his wife made 2 and wanted to share one… Continue

Day 100 ended last month but I didn't have time to log into CCOR.



1. I weigh 150 # and wear any style of clothes and look great!

DS has a library card, so I'm considering using his so that I can borrow an additional… Continue

Last night, I had a choice between writing activities with Day 5 of 'Change your life in 7 days' or continue listening ot 'The power of now' (mindlessly). Hmmm. . . I'm lazy, so I choose mindless listening as I hate writing goals.



As mentioned in an earlier entry, I had a difficult time concentration, so I changed my listening strategy and decide to listen mindlessly, without thinking. I let Mr. Tolles' words wash over me as I concentrate on breathing and didn't analyze (too much) on… Continue
