It happened for me....

So I volunteer with this non profit organization and their graduation was this past Saturday.   The young woman I mentor graduated as well.  In the graduation program booklet, one of the things they listed beside each graduate's picture was a quote chosen by the graduate.  My graduate chose a quote that I'm adopting....it's by Joel Osteen and it basically says...

it did not just happen to me, it happened FOR me.  

Now i can stop and shout right there. (Cue organ and shouting music) 

I won't even expound on that right now but that's just awesome, just like God!

In other news I decided to do another 31 day reset.  I did it about 3 years ago during my birthday month.  When I went to look it up again it was no longer free.  And rightly so, it's a good and simple and effective program.  Aaaand I want to support the sister who is doing her thing and helping others too.  So I purchased it.  What I forgot was that your day one starts as soon as you purchase it.  I got and email like yep it's day one lets do it. Hahaha

Now of course I did not have to start today but I said hey why not.  Sooooo here goes.  

Day 1 has 3 main assignments

First, choose a notebook, now I buy notebooks and don't finish them so I really need to use one of those but this is an excuse for me to buy a shiny new one.  Hehehe.  I haven't decided yet but in the meantime I'm just using my notes on my iPhone. 

Second, choose a mantra,  so I chose just me is more than enough. I also like the one above ...it happened for me.  I'll explore this further 

Third, chose a theme song. This was easy since I just changed to a new theme song last month. Feeling Good by Nina Simone. I have to admit I really do like Lauryn Hill's rendition.  I love the extra 30 plus seconds of instrumentals at the end. When I first heard this song last month I was like yes this is totally me right now.  It's definitely a new day and I'm feeling good. 

So that's day one. 

Oh and I hit the pavement this evening too :)
