Universal commitment

I woke up today feeling the kind of weak that scared me, frankly. Now, hours later, I feel much stronger physically and almost ready to explore the emotional and spiritual messages to be gleaned from the bug that has rocked me for the last four days.

I believe strongly in reading those messages, listening carefully to my body, perhaps making some changes as a result.

That is my Universal Flow.

Cereal incentive

This morning I saw a commercial for cereal with strawberries in it and it filled me with longing. My appetite is not there yet. But it's getting better.

So today I went to the grocery store and bought a box of cereal with berries. It bears noting that I don't eat this sugary stuff in the morning in 'real' life, so the idea is a real treat. The box is sitting on my counter, taunting me.

It'll be a great transition back to health.

Bug

I woke up and went to the gym yesterday. Came out and went for some coffee. Stood at the cafe counter and realized I wasn't hungry and that coffee didn't sound so appealing. But I got a cup and sat down. Within an hour, I knew something was wrong. My stomach felt funny.

That was the beginning of a hell-ish weekend. Runs, fever, chills, achiness, weakness. Last night I tossed and turned, slept, tossed and turned, asked for mercy. Yikes.

I just took a shower. Had some chicken soup. I can only hope I've turned a corner.

Please. Say it's so.

Kindred spirits

I spent a lot of time today talking to vibrant, smart, thoughtful, spiritual women.

This is what I have manifested in my life.

Good for me. Sometimes that's just what the doctor ordered.

Shiver

It's an unacceptable 60 degrees in my home right now. Earlier today, I resolved to go forth peacefully, confidently and forcefully to get a solution. It is in the works.

This is a test. I know this because after buying a thermometer, calling the health department, accepting an offer from a nice person with an extra space heater, and trying to get two space heaters working to make my rooms a little more livable, I blew a fuse and had to enlist my neighbor to get the power back. Grrrrrrrrr. I'm trying my best to rise to the occasion.

Brrrrrrrrr. Where's my quilt?

Walking my talk

So I followed my own advice as written in my most current Game Plan column on FOX:

http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/lifestyle-money/travel-lifestyle/article/new-years-resolution-revolution_420592_22.html

I wrote assessments of 2007 in these areas -- home, work, spirit, creativity, body, finances, relationships -- and then added what I want to do in those same areas in 2008. Finally, I crafted goals in each category and some actions for each.

Now they feel concrete and ready to manifest!

Order

I'm a fairly organized person, but I've been feeling like I am one step away from being pretty darned phenomenal at it. So the early part of the year will have some serious time devoted to that goal.

Today I began with clearing space in drawers, putting my actual daily organizer in workable order and creating a written plan for each area of my life.

Things are moving in the right direction. I like that.
