King Kero Is Upset Because He See's Food That Isn't There - ACIM Lesson #6

I will not make excuses for my absence the last few days. I had the intention to work on my lessons and post my thoughts but my ego got the better of me till today. Today i had the overwhelming sense to work through Lesson #6 and so many other forms of happiness and manifestations followed. But lets get down to the real reason you come to this blog (besides the virtual hugs from King Kero, the giant pink gloomy bear),

These Thoughts About How Much I Love Mean Girls Do Not Mean Anything - ACIM Lesson #4 & #5

Happy belated Mean Girls Day! Wait? You didn't know Friday, October 3rd was Mean Girls Day? Do you not remember that October 3rd was the day Aaron asked Cady what day it was?

But no, i did not forget to do yesterdays lesson so i could binge watch Mean Girls. I was having to much fun with a craft project i thought to do and i spent all evening working on it. So today you get a 2fer!

The Universe Gives You Permission

To take a day off...

I am not slacking and i did not forget. But when i got to the book today things felt rushed and not quite "right." I didn't want to go into todays lesson with a hurried energy so i decided to instead work on some resin projects I've been neglecting. I already feel recharged and will be back with Lesson 4 tomorrow.

I Do Not Understand Why My Tamagotchi Is Always Hungry - ACIM Lesson #3

Seriously, it is always hungry no matter what i feed it. After playing with the original tamagotchi back in the 90's you think i would have the hang of things by now but i don't! And thats (sort of) the subject of todays lesson in A Course in Miracles.

Why yes i have one of these at my age, so what?

"I do not understand anything i see in this room."

Lesson three is where the brain hurting is finally starting to kick in. It started when i was contemplating "I do not understand this laptop." I know what a laptop is, and what it is supposed to do (help me publish this blog) but what "is it" really? Is it really what i think it is? Is it even really here? Am i even really here? My brain is still hurting as i type this and try to contemplate it. 

The Meaning of French Fries - ACIM Lesson #2

Todays lesson is brought to you by In-N-Out Burger

I was wicked hungry after work today and decided to use one of the certificates i manifested (full details in this weekends blog post) earlier today at work. No strange looks and no one trying to rush me out even though it was the hight of lunch hour. Plus i figured i could use the change of scenery.

Todays exercise was glancing at objects around us (near and further away) and repeating to ourselves "I have given _______ the meaning that it has for me."

Fake It Till You Make It - ACIM Lesson #1

Technically that was not the exercise for lesson one, but after working through lesson one and reading the intro for the workbook that is going to be my mantra.

Like my last go around i am using a composition notebook to write down my takeaways and work through the exercises presented each day. The kind of, chaoticness of the bubbles and the lines actually helps organize my thoughts and puts them in a way that i can understand and attempt to make sense of.

It's Ok To Start Over

    

     Back in 2012 I started a blog to chronicle my journey as I worked through A Course In Miracles. I did a lesson a day and tried my hardest to post my notes from each lesson as well as my reflections from the lesson daily. Along the way though I got lost. I couldn't keep up with doing a lesson a day and I soon just gave up on the blog, and my lessons, entirely. 

  Between then and now i’ve toyed with the idea of starting the blog back up, but most importantly starting the lessons back up. It’s been a crazy time in my life (heartache, job market, what do I want to do with my life, etc) and I didn't want to dive back into it until I felt truly called to it by the universe. Now seems to be that time, but I will be attacking this in a new way.

#1 - It’s ok if I don't do a lesson every day. For whatever reason, I felt that I had to do a lesson a day or all would be lost. The course is set up like this but if you take an extra day or so to reflect on a particular lesson then thats ok. That is a permission I am going to give myself this time.
