I'm so happy!!!

I'm seriously happy right now.

I have boundless energy except when I don't, which is rare - and even though I only slept TWO HOURS last night (I was up until 430 am getting ready for my huge Yard Sale this weekend), I still had one of the most high-energy, exciting days of this year (so far ;) )....!!!

WHY so happy??

Because I see a light at the end of the very long financial tunnel!!! And I'm CHASING IT!!! Like an "angry gazelle!!"



I had a Yard Sale today - and sold $176 of old things I had in storage! Then, my DF called to inform me that I had just sold my two old laptops (neither of which I had thought about in years) for $100!

That's $276 total!!! That's over half of what I need to cover the deficit in my budget this month - in other words, I am climbing out of the hole and I CAN SEE THE LIGHT!!! Plus - it's only the 3rd! I have 27 more days to earn what I need to get by in February - WITHOUT TAKING OUT ANOTHER LOAN!!!

Creativity will help me.

And my cleaning biz will help me, too!

I still have about $50 worth of things to sell tomorrow, and if all goes well, I will sell every last thing. Either in my sale, or to the Buffalo Exchange.

I also applied at a fabric store in town where one of my oldest friend works... she recommended me directly to the management, and I was able to speak directly to the manager on duty today and introduce myself... I feel very confident that I will get that job.

I feel hopeful - and HAPPY!!!

And exhausted... I need to take a long nap now!!

GS CHALLENGE UPDATE



It's Day 3 and I feel pretty dang GOOD, overall!

Yesterday and today my intake consisted of one Vitamix-full of GS, and one huge salad from Sweet Tomatoes.

My salads from Sweet Tomatoes DID have garbanzo beans, kidney beans, black olives, and today a little goat cheese on top - so NOT 100% Raw.

But then - I am taking Baby Steps with gratitude right now and not telling myself to be perfect (though it would be lovely).

Instead, my commitment for January was:
1 Blender-full of GS everyday!!!

And here is Day 3, and I'm going strong with the GS-consumption.

I am finding it much easier to drink alot of GS than I thought it would be, and already, I feel as though my cells are bursting with happiness that I have finally found the answer to feeding them the optimum best food!



I LOVE RAW!!!

P.S. I'm also really getting a kick out of budgeting... and was so excited when my DF called me today to tell me he already has $250 to put in his Baby Emergency Fund!! In three days, he came up with $250 EXTRA outside his budget!!! My man is amazing.

    Wow - Great job on all fronts Green Woman!! How exciting to release "stuff" that no longer serves you & to gain nurishment from something new that does. I just started reading Dave's book last night, on chapter 2 so far - I like his style. You are on the path~monk~
