Hiety Ho my little munchkins!

What's up? It's Wednesday... Closer to Friday and you know what I heard... Snow is coming to the area... starting Thursday and it might be significant.. (eww!!!) SO... I might be working from home on Friday (which admittedly won't be that bad !)

I'm doing great today!!! I'll admit that there was a shift the past few days where I had to consciously keep focusing on where I want my emotions to be instead of the default thinking of "I'm not in control and whoa is me"... But magically (should I be surprised? no.) it shifted back to where I feel great sometime yesterday afternoon! THANK YOU UNIVERSE!!!

I need to make this one short.. cause I gotta get ready for work (I fart around too long in the morning which doesn't leave me too much time for looking at my most beautiful!)

SO... I wish you a wonderful Wednesday!! And I promise to write more soon, tomorrow!

Love you all,
Kerilyn

Morning my loverlies!!!

How are you this Monday morning?? I'm doing ok.. I did not sleep very soundly last nite so I feel a little tuckered out this morning.. (yes.. i said tuckered out) I had a great time visiting Naomi in PA this weekend.. We had a great time scurrying around NYC Saturday.... the train.. subway..eating yummy food (Had an AWESOME Pastrami sandwich) everything we did.. Made great time coming home last nite.. made it home in 2 hrs 45 minutes! Woo Hoo..

Doing 3 Things 2 Things

3 things that make me happy:
1. Being in New York City
2. Challah French Toast
3. Coming home and resting after a weekend away.. and getting a wonderful card in the mail from my wonderful friend Scott.. Thanks honey.

2 things I am looking forward to today:
1. Having a good nites sleep tonite.
2. Using 'The Secret' to keep my thoughts on track with what I want to attract.

2 long term things I'm looking forward to:
1. This times next week.. I get to work from home all next week... which means I can work in my pajamas!
2. January 31st.. Oprah's show is about 'The Secret' - I am SOO going to Tivo it!!!

1 person I am going to appreciate:
ALL of those souls... who are , on a daily basis, conscious of spirit.. energy.. love around us. Those light workers who are trying to bring the lessons of love and light to each of our lives.. with the knowledge that we CAN manifest anything into our lives.. and we are energy! I am grateful for them...

I know.. I've been talking about this movie 'The Secret' A lot.. not so much as to shove it down your throats.. but to be a constant reminder to MYSELF... I think living in this world where the default is to go straight toward the negative... I need to remind MYSELF that I am able to, if I really want to.. focus on the positive.. it's kinda like exercising the first time after not exercising in a long time.. the body feels a bit sore.. that's how I feel a bit.. like my mind and emotions are stretching from not being stretched that way.. but I'll tell you that I feel better when I do slow down and consciously focus on what I Want to bring into my life instead of what I don't..

Ok all.. Happy Monday... Whatever isn't showing itself to you the way you wanted.. SEE it happening the way you want it to.. (I'm telling this to myself actually)
love you all,
Kerilyn

Hey there my peeps..

What's shakin? Friday! Whew.. this week went by quickly for me.. but slow at the same time.. strange..

High: I'm grateful for everything I have.. my senses.. my house that I have enjoyed living in.. That I have enough food to eat.. and water to drink...a job that I enjoy.. and supports me in my desires my health.. my cat.. my friends and family.. for my experiences.. All in all.. that I am alive.

Low: Not dwelling.. it's girl time (sorry boys) and have been a bit emotional since yesterday... one emotion to another in a very small frame of time.. I got out of work a little early.. went grocery shopping.. and made dinner for Kevin and I.. to me.. it wasn't as good as I had thought. and.. that Easy Rice Pudding Recipe wasn't as successful as I had originally intended.. I'll try it again on my own.. I know that this hyper emotion is a test to using the 'Secret' and you know what I say to myself.. who created this Test..

I KNOW IT'S A TEST!! HA! I'm wonderful and great and I know that how I am feeling I created... it's actually funny when you realize how almost subconscious it is for us to go directly into "whoa is me"... wow... It's amazing when you're in the emotion of "I'm in pain... feel bad for me." If you pretend your the Universe/God/Buddha talking to you saying "ok... _________(insert your name here) I am giving you this test.. in order to see if you will forget that you are in control of your feelings and thoughts.. Let's see how you do with this one." A kinda rebellion spirit inside you says "NO! I will not let you get me down.. I will pass this test!

And you can (as I just did) shift your energy/emotions around.. SO.. I need to get my little booty going.. gotta pack (yes.. last minute packing for the weekend.. fun!) and get to work..

I hope you have a great weekend... and I'll talk to you all soon!
Love you all,
kerilyn

Morning Butterflies!!

How are you?I'm doing great... Thursday already! Whew, this week went quick for me! Tomorrow I leave for my trip up north to spend the weekend with Naomi!

A more traditional fare today, eh:

High: Last nite my friend Scott came over. I made us a yummy salad with rotisserie chicken, roasted red peppers, goat cheese and pine nuts and I gave him all my architecture and interior design books that I do not use...(KERILYNS PURGING!!!) there must of been 20-30 books and I was happy to give them to him! I hope he gets a large return from them! Then we watched 'The Secret'... WOO HOO!!! I love that he loved it!!! It makes me happy that others are so inspired by it too!!! My wonderful sparkley friend Roxanne is planning to come over to watch the movie with me in 2 weeks! YEA! The more this spreads. the more people start to use their thoughts to create their life.. the better!!! (Anyone else close in proximity want to come over to watch it?? Just let me know when .. i'll bring the food!) OOH.. one more thing.. I got a coupon in the mail for 50% off frames at lenscrafters.. I want a new pair of glasses so I am glad the coupon came in!

Low: Nah.. not today

Ok all.. making this one short today... All is well in Kerilyn world..

Hey there folksies..

Tuesday nite.. I know I haven't written but my schedule of farting around in the morning pretty much brings me enough time to just dry my hair, make bed and start my lovely travels to work ... not enough time to write something substantial.. so here I am... at nite.

How are you? Great I hope.. I'm doing great..feeling good.. week is going by quite nicely...

So... without further adieu.. (is that how you spell it?) I give you my 3 things 2 things

3 Things that make me happy:

1. I found a REALLY EASY recipe for Easy Rice Pudding that looks SO AWESOME (If you get Real Simple.. it's on page 203! I can't WAIT to try it!!!
2. I saw my long time no see friend Shannon Fortenberry at my office today!! What my luck.. she turned around and there she was! It was the best part of my work week so far! WOO HOO!!! I look forward to catching up with her (uh Shan.. lunch.. soon!)
3. Catching up on my Tivo shows tonite - Brothers and Sisters, How I Met your Mother, and Heroes! All of them were AWESOME! I laughed.. I cried... I was AMAZED!!! Tivo is a MIRACLE!!!

2 things I'm looking forward to today:
1. Well the day is almost over so I will say.. Getting to bed by 10ish?
2. Having Pez sleep next to me... :) and waking up and starting my wonderful morning routine all over again!

2 long term things i'm looking forward to today:
1. Hanging out in NYC this weekend.. whatever Naomi and I decide to do!
2. Going to a Washington Wizards Basketball game sometime before the end of the season (Kevin has re kindled my interest in basketball - I always have liked watching it..although even though I'm tall.. it's better Kerilyn stay in the stands)

1 person I am going to appreciate:
1. I want to appreciate one of the Salesmen at my office (I say this with much adoration.. I am NOT mocking him at ALL)- He is a VERY sensitive and VERY self-aware individual..I relate to him so much for you can see and more importantly.. FEEL that he is scared of making a mistake.. of being out of control - which everyone can pick up on.. he doesn't get the respect he SO STRONGLY is looking for... if, hypothetically..we at my office were a litter of kitties or doggies.. Alan would be considered the Runt.. and I don't mean it in a bad way.. I respect him.. for his always sincerely wanting to learn.. watching others and kinda not understanding why he's not as big and as strong as some of the others.. It makes me think of myself and how far I've come.. with my job. There was a time when I felt that way EVERY DAY... and know what he's going thru.

OK....so that's me! I hope you are smiling.. visualizing what you want to come into your life!!!

Talk to you soon!!!

Hey ya'll!!!

FRIDAY!! (and payday for me too!) Great Googly Moogly! I feel great this morning! (Maybe cause i'm on my 2nd cup of coffee and it's only 7:15am) Ok so TODAY is Naomi's Birthday.. (Happy Birthday Honey!!) and Sunday is my girl Kyra's birthday! We're a gettin older.. but that's a good thing! SO many wonderful things to look forward to!!!

OK.. so onto 3 things 2 things

3 things that make me happy:
- Gotta say my cat, Pez.. I LOVE how she stays with me on the bed all nite.. I mean.. she sleeps during the day.. so you gotta think she isn't necessarily tired at nite.. but she sleeps right next to me.. I hear her little kitty breathing and it makes me feel so safe.
- At like 3:30 yesterday, one of the saleswomen that I do jobs for (who is a little scatterbrained most of the time) told me about a job she was supposed to have me start the week before (which means RUSH) and I knocked out what she needed to show the client in an hour.. it made me feel so good that she was impressed and I was proud of myself!
- Payday. I get up and.. like a little girl on christmas morning.. I rush downstairs to check on my bank balance online.. and I feel like the richest woman in the world when BAM.. the money is there!

2 things I am looking forward to today:
1. Friday afternoons are usually relaxed.. and chill in the office.. a wind down of sorts to the weekend.. no deadlines due tomorrow.. and all the sales people say "Well get back to them on Monday" which means I have 2 days to not think of work at all.
2. Last weekend, Kevin and I were in a shoe store.. and I saw these AWESOME pair of shoes
and they were on SALE!!! Kevin knows i've been looking for a pair so he bought them for me! I'm looking forward to wearing them tonite!

2 long term things I'm looking forward to:
1. Getting past the hump of forecasters looking for snow in our area. NO SNOW!
2. Kevin and I are planning a trip to see/meet his Father and family in Iowa.

1 person I am going to appreciate:
I am going to say the The Paper Doll - She showed me the Listography website.. and I took a browse at her lists.. I love that she can come up with things to list about.. I was trying to think about things to write.. I think she's an awesome writer! Go Girl!

and on that note i have to boogy to get ready for work...
have a GREAT weekend!!! Naomi and Kyra.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! and I love you all!
:) Kerilyn

High/Low 1.18.07

Hey everyone!

How are you? Thursday!!! First off I would like to say a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my girl Naomi (TOMORROW IS HER BIRTHDAY. THE 19TH.. I TOTALLY THOUGHT TODAY WAS THE 19TH!! HA HA HA HA!!!).. she's made some very brave and bold choices this year... She chose to leave her job, sold her side of the duplex we lived in... (she was on one side.. me on the other but she owned both sides) and moved up to PA so she could focus on her Stand up Comedy Career! She has wowed the crowd in clubs in New York City and New Jersey, Pennsylvania too.. I'm really proud of her... I'm going to spend next weekend with her up in PA and we're going to go into the city (the official "city") and I think go to a show! yippee!

She had an idea a while ago.. about creating a comedy competition for Federal Employees (which according to Naomi are some of the funniest people around!) Well she has manifested a venue for her competition.. and has created a website to round them up! Check out her Funniest Fed website!! And if you know any Funny Federal Employees (Military or Government employees - (Matthew that means YOU!) then contact Naomi via her website!!!!

Anyway... my boss is coming into here at work today, and i was farting around too much this morning to write.. so let me go..

KNOW I'm GREAT! Everything is wonderful! I'm so excited that I'm going to see my girl Davina this weekend.. I can't wait to see her Baby Belly!!!! Yea!!! And I might be also hanging out with my people Stephanie and Scott too.. doing something fun Sunday I think!

Thank you for your thoughts about being happy I'm writing. i will SURE admit that I love getting your emails/comments.. so if that's what it takes.. I'm doin it!

Morning! What do you want to manifest today?

Morning all!

How are you? I'm great! So... did you watch 'The Secret' yet? If not.. please do when you can.. it is not my intention to push this down your throat.. but it has been such a great reminder of what I receive in my life.. is due to my own thinking... what i'm attracting.. and I just want to share that with you.. and.. all the world.

I had a good weekend.. We went to see Pan's Labrinyth friday nite.. It was not the movie that I thought it was going to be. It was much more violent than I expected.. and the fantasy that they say the movie is about.. takes up only a relatively small portion of the movie.

Saturday.. we read about this spectacular cup of Hot Chocolate at Murky Coffee.. it's $5.00... so i was intrigued.. so I checked it out.. I had never been to Murky before.. but it was kinda cool... lots of mish mash chairs and tables.. and people with their laptops.. or reading their books... I like these kind of experiences.. it's the kind of experience that I usually enjoy by myself.. oh and the 5 dollar Hot Chocolate was good... very rich and creamy. I would pay 5 dollars again...

ooh. Kevin took me to my first official Indian food experience at Bombay Curry Company it was VERY yummy!!! Butter Chicken.. Naan.. and this awesome onion potato fritter thingy.. yum! The only thing missing was a great cup of homemade Chai...

Ok.. so I am going to begin writing more regularly again... it might not be long novels.. and I know I've said this before.. but It is my intention to start writing again...

So here i am.. and i wish you a wonderful day!
love,
kerilyn

The Secret

Hey everyone!

How are you? I'm fine.. Rainy Sunday evening.. It was in the 70's here yesterday! Whew! And for those who don't believe in Global Warming... 70's in January?

Anywhoo... onto my topic for the moment.

I was told by my Aunt, about the movie I'm about to talk about...
called 'The Secret'
she said i should find someone who had it.
and i should watch it alone..

i'm a spiritual person.. energy.. everything happens for a reason.
as you think, so shall you be... etc..
but when she mentioned this movie.
it was like a bug in my ear..
i should find out where to find it and watch it.

So I found the website.
You can't rent it on Netflix or get it at a Blockbuster...
You have to have someone who owns it.. or download it online.
still.. i felt really compelled to see it..
My Aunt told me about it so it had to be spiritual..
and she said it would be really empowering..

so last nite..
i sat down.. spent 4.95
and watched it on my computer..
(i have a 19" monitor.. and a couch right in front of the screen.. so
it was like i was watching a movie...)

IT BLEW MY MIND.
well.. that's cause that's what it's about....
(i won't tell you specifics.. i want you to experience for yourself)

so.. i'm writing.
to ask you to do something for me..
whether you know me well..or not much at all..
or AT all (dear internet superhighway)
a soul with true intention.
created a myspace profile.
and got permission to post the first 20 minutes.
The Secret MySpace Profile


so i ask you.. to watch it.
and if you feel as inspired by it as I do..
then go to the website
The Secret
and download it (or buy it on DVD - it's 30.00)
and hopefully you'll be as inspired as I...

then afterward..
contact me..
email me.. or call me if you know my number (sorry too many strangas on
this here medium)
and let's see how we can help each other
be positive magnets in each others lives..

I'm serious.... I want to see this grow.... and i want a community of others
who feel the same way... it is my truest intention...

Let me know if you have any questions..
or if I can do anything to help.
Love you all!
Kerilyn
