Since today is my birthday (and that's only true for a few more hours) this is the last day of this blog. I don't plan to keep writing here, but I will write occasionally on my Zaadz blog, which you can access here.

It's been a great exercise to chronicle the last 30 days -- just look at everything that happened! Thank you for sharing it with me.

Happy Birthday to Me

A birthday letter to myself....

Dear Katrina,

It is truly amazing the changes you have made in the last year. I stand in awe at everything you've accomplished.

1. You lived up to your New Year's resolution to take care of yourself with incredible results: you've gotten rid of 90 percent of your anxiety, you've nearly rid yourself of pain, you've lost 20 pounds, you've gotten your energy back, you have an optimistic outlook on life, and you pamper yourself more.

2. You have drastically improved your spiritual life.

3. You created your own tutoring business.

4. You manifested and bought a house.

5. You bought your first new car (the Nissan).

6. You started saying no to the things that make you unhappy.

7. You made huge strides in therapy.

8. You started standing up for yourself.

9. You manifested and bought a Prius.

10. You have created a life for yourself that is perfectly tailored to you.

As this year progresses, I can see that you are building upon all of this with passion and determination. You're more courageous. You're clearer about what you want and you go after it. You no longer ask 10 people for advice before you make a move; you just do it if it feels right. You trust your intuition and you're working to strengthen it. It's going to be a fantastic year, and furthermore, it's going to be an unbelievable decade.

Much Love,

Katrina

What a Weekend

Here I am with the new car. This is big. For me, getting this car is on the level of being told I won the lottery. When I got behind the wheel for the first time, I could not stop smiling. I know now what it's like to one of those guys who pines after a Porsche and finally gets to buy one when he's 55. Except that I'm not having a mid-life crisis and I'm just turning 30.

I've been dreaming about this car FOREVER. And now I have one. I am usually not a materialistic person, but it feels really good to have a Prius. Perhaps because when I drive it I know I'm not polluting quite so much. It's going to be dreamy to drive it to Sequoia National Park this week.

Other highlights from the weekend:

1. Going to the L'Amyx grand opening. It was PACKED. The lion dance was fabulous and the fireworks were loud. The place is going to be a hit.
   
2. Eating at Cafe Gratitude. Yum. They had water jugs that had words like "truth" and "abundance" etched on them. I drank from the abundance jar.
   
3. Watching episodes of the BBC version of The Office.
4. Taking pictures of the magnolia trees in bloom.
5. Seeing friends old and new.
