A Golden Nugget

It's as good as gold!. Remember my last post when I decided to start my day the happy way as per Dr. Joe Dispenza. Well, this is what happened the second day after I started my new morning practice.

 

As part of my morning intending, I added a little bonus for myself. I intended, beside the beautiful way my day would unfold, that I would receive a happy surprise...a golden nugget. Then I added that when the surprise unveils itself to me, that I would be fully aware that I received my happy surprise, which would then make me all the happier. That afternoon when I was standing at the sink having my afternoon snack my cell phone rang.  I did not recognize the number and answered it to find out I had gotten into a photoshop class I was wanting to take.  I had called two weeks prior to find out the class was full, I was bummed but requested to be put on the waiting list. She agreed but said it was unlikely that I would get in because there were all ready many names on the waiting list.

 

I was then standing at my sink with this big huge grin because I knew I had just received my happy surprise. As Joe says

" (it) gives me the power and the incentive to do it the next day."

Hmmmm....next time I think I'll create my day with me winning the Texas Lotto! how 'bout you, how are you going to create your day?

Creating Your Day the Happy Way

Last time I wrote, I left you with my strategy of not starting your day with getting on the computer, which got me to thinking.  What would be a great way to start my day?  Well I got my answer today, just popped into the old' noggin. Love when that happens. Ask a question and Voilà, get the answer. It was something I had been doing, but kinda forgot about.

I can't claim it as my idea, it comes from the movie What the Bleep Do We Know? So many great concepts in that movie, but one that stands out in my mind is Dr. Joe Dispenza relating how he starts his day. Here is a little part of it: 

"I wake up in the morning, and I consciously create my day the way I want it to happen. Now, sometimes, because my mind is examining all the things that I need to get done, it takes me a little bit to settle down, and get to the point, of where I'm actually intentionally creating my day. But here's the thing."
"When I create my day, and out of nowhere, little things happen that are so unexplainable, I know that they are the process or the result of my creation. And the more I do that, the more I build a neural net, in my brain, that I accept that that's possible. Gives me the power and the incentive to do it the next day."

That is part of the quote that was in the movie. I have my own version. It is really fun to play with this concept and it's quite magical. If you don't have your own version you can download Joe's version  here. I will often create my day the night before, right before I go to sleep. Try it Mikey, you might like it. I know, I know I'm dating myself.

Another highlight comes from the regular Vans Spring 2009 Collection - the premium leather pack. The pack consists of the Chukka, Sk8 Hi, Era and Slip-On. All four of them come in a chocolate brown colorway, with the upper made up of premium leather and suede.

Vans Skate Mid

The Vans Skate Mid is perhaps a more organic version of what was once commonplace in the skate community as many skaters would inevitably chop down their high-tops (effectively birthing shoes like the Half-Cab).

Vans Skateboard Shoes And Sneakers Styles/Models

Being around as long as Vans Footwear has, it's a give-in that they have many different styles and models of Vans skateboard shoes to choose from. In fact, every skateboarding shoe made today can thank Vans sneakers for being the forerunner of the skateboard shoe industry for 40 years and counting. Vans Footwear provides any style skate shoe imaginable. From slip-ons, to mids, to hi-tops, Vans Footwear has it all. Even if you only focus on their selection of skateboard shoes and ignore all of the leisurely shoes, every model has their own personal style whether it's their shape or their designs.

Lodi Fall-Winter 2009/2010 Collection

Huge heels and comfortable platforms shoes will be two main trends for the next winter season. Lodi, the Spanish shoes store, have included them in its new collection.

There are several elegant and sophisticated designs, but the best thing of this collection is that there are also several choices for every moment of every day and for any occasion.

Oh, black. This color cannot be missed in any collection, especially in winter.

The purple color is also present in this Fall-Winter collection. It is very easy of combining and adds contrast to your looks. And, if you are bored of conventional and very dark looks, this color is a great choice to add a special and trendy touch.

To wear during the day: oxford shoes, boots, and booties, which can be worn with jeans as much as with skirts or dresses.

In the following picture, there are more options that also can be worn with jeans:

Some colors like fuchsia and red are passionate and very attractive. And you stand out from the crowd when you use these colors. Even in winter when the sunlight is weak.

Of course, there is also some space for the boots in this collection. Mainly they are available in gray tones and brown. By the way, this year, gray tones have been really a hit.

No doubt, this is a fabulous collection. In fact, it is one of Lodi’s best collections ever.

Proenza Schouler Shoes Resort 2010

I don't often post about shoes. I do love shoes but I think they have to be something pretty special to catch my attention amongst the many different shoes in the world. Today I just couldn't help myself. I spotted the most amazing Proenza Schouler Shoes in the Resort 2010 collection. The bad news is that they are a bit (well alot actually) out of my price range. But the good news is that I have got until spring 2010 to save up. I am as we speak making myself a Proenza Shouler shoe money box. I also would have great difficulty deciding between them, but I suppose I have a while to make up my mind.At the moment, I think the blue flat sandals are possibly in the lead or maybe the yellow ones.

If you love Proenza Schouler shoes, you can buy them at Yoox.com
