News Fasting

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

It’s so cool when I have an idea all by my lonesome, and then find out that some other person has had the same idea all by theirs. I believe it’s a sign of Universal Truth.
Such is the case with part of Assignment #2.
I believe one of the most toxic forms of […]

Monday’s Challenge

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

Yesterday, we had an Instant Challenge that dared us to light a candle in the darkness and do something nice for someone else. As the day came to an end, I realized that I had gotten sufficiently caught up in my day-to-day living that I had forgotten all about the challenge! I still […]

INSTANT CHALLENGE - Light a Candle

Monday, September 25th, 2006

My Message For You today was this:

Better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.
Chinese Proverb

I thought I’d pay this one forward and challenge you to join me. Let’s light a candle within the next twenty-four hours. (I’m posting this […]

Weekend Reading

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

This may be the best personal development site I’ve ever seen. It’s certainly the most extensive I’ve found, and I love the guy’s attitude. Next week, I’ll send you over to a few of the specific pages that rocked my perception (in a good way), but for now, there’s more reading than you can probably […]

Back to Basics

Monday, September 18th, 2006

It’s been a full week since I cut out sugars and carbs from my diet. Due to my promise not to weigh myself until the 23rd of this month, I cannot tell with any certainty if this helped me lose the weight I gained on my vacation. However, it did give me a much-needed break […]

Feeling Better Today

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

Actually, I started feeling better last night. I’m still very concerned about the little bird, but I did some things to make me feel better, and it worked! Here’s what I did.
First, I tried playing a video game. But it was one that I was relatively unfamiliar with, and I wasn’t having any […]

I Need to Do Something FUN!

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

I’ve got a serious case of the blues this evening.
I have every reason to believe it is situational. It’s been kind of an up and down day.
So, I need to do something to bring myself out of this funk. I don’t like it here!
First, I’ll try a video game. If that doesn’t work […]

I Believe…!

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Brian Kim is at it again. This time, he wrote an essay that articulates a concept that is near and dear to my heart: Belief.
Belief is arguably the most powerful motivator for all of us. Though no two people believe exactly the same way, most of us are pretty sure that that the […]

Magic 8-Ball, stacycats Style

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

Back in July, Aerobatx left a comment in which he compared the Message For You quotes (on the upper right sidebar) to a Magic 8-Ball. I never forgot that comment, because I use that little quote generator in much the same way.
I’ve often wondered what visitors to this site think of the Message For You […]

Sugar Free

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

My sugar-free lifestyle is going very well so far. Thanks to a great husband who *really* knows how to cook meat and eggs, I’m even enjoying my little sabbatical from the sugar “food group”. In fact, I don’t miss the sweets at all, and I’m not even really craving the grains either. Yes, I […]
