Well, yes… my tushie is crazy today.  Why you ask?

I’m on my 6th day officially smoke free.  I did it THIS time cold turkey.  Wowza.  Here’s what it’s like:

1. I’ve gone nuts – as evident by chasing my boys (16 & 17 – both over 6′ tall and over 220lbs) through Starbucks with a teddy bear.
2. Wanting to scream at the top of my lungs (which, btw actually hold AIR now)
3. Burning SO much incense ’cause – WOW – I can smell it even better
4. Yelling at my hubby (oh I’m horrid today!)
5. Crying in bed wrapped in a blanket in a neo-natal position
6. Laying in the backyard on my back in my ALMOST completed sanctuary staring so deeply into the blue sky I feel like I was flying

It’s a crazy day – but I feel and smell so wonderful.

My Father In Law passed away last October – I promised him I would stop soon, he told me he’d come after me if I didn’t.    He was an ornery old coot – and died of lung cancer.  In being his “honorary daughter” and someone he shared with at the end in the most spiritual way I could have ever imagined – I’m taking control of my physical life because he said I’d be much happier if I lived healthy.

I believe you Harold… and feel you near me every moment I think of you.  I love you and I miss you so so so much.

Love and Light,

Monica

Okay, this whole stop smoking thing is bizzare.  I made it 5 days, then smoked one day, then stopped one day then smoking today.

ARGH!

Fer cryin’ out loud.  I’m teaching myself that *I* control the habit.  The habit doesn’t control me.  For me, this seems to be working pretty well.  Each time I smoke I get sick – perfect!  Blech.

So, on to other info, I’m going to Utah next week for training – It’s Impact Trainings LMT 1.  I’ve been through their other trainings:

• Quest Training
• Summit Training
• Lift-Off Training
• Couples & Commitment
• Inner Woman Training I

I always feel so good coming home from these trainings.  Utah is so pretty!  Trouble is, they say it may snow.  This Californian has officially never driven in snow.  Good luck Utah folks!  Steer clear of me!  I’ll be the one slidin’ sideways down the highway yellin’ Yeee Haaaaw! 

Here’s a few pics from Utah I’ve taken:

Enjoy!
