February 28, 2025, Friday night, 6:38pm, pacific standard time,apartment parking lot, Dana Point, California, USA. Started the day at 3:30am with the Blue Lantern walk. It felt good to walk outside. Lately I have walked at a higher pace on the treadmill my body needed a break. Afterwards, I went to the gym then took my daughter to school. Now the work week is over and I can relax. Though I am the administrator on call so I might not get to rest as much as I think. Picture of sunrise taken while walking the with the dog in Aliso Viejo.

I am still writing out my affirmations and am going to compile them into something marketable. Although when I start thinking about marketing my energy gets skewered. Marketing will evolve organically. I’m not going to over think, just keep plugging away. I am enjoying the process. Some affirmations are serious, others are silly. I am not censoring myself. I am not editing, I am jotting down thoughts as I experience them. It has been a great outlet for me this week.

February 23, 2025, Sunday morning, 8:57am, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. I left Aliso Viejo a little after eight last night. My daughter was fine waiting alone for her mom to come home. I must have been tired because I slept straight through the night. That meant walking later than usual, but I didn’t mind. It was a beautiful morning and the views were spectacular.

February 21,22,2025,Friday,Saturday morning,7:57am,pacific standard time,office complex parking lot, Laguna Niguel,California, USA. Last night I took my daughter to the bowling alley for a school social. She didn’t bowl but she did hang out with her boyfriend and another friend. I was proud of her. All week she said she didn’t want to go. Getting out and being social isn’t always easy but usually rewarding. I talked with her boyfriend’s dad the whole time. That kind of wiped me out. I was already tired from the work week. This morning I took the dog for a walk past the school and through the little neighborhood by my daughters house. Afterwards, I drove to Lake Forest to work out at that planet fitness. For a reward I got my free birthday drink at the Peet’s across the street.

February 20, 2025, Thursday night, 7:49pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA, My birthday. The girls at work surprised me this morning by decorating my office and putting out a yogurt bar for breakfast. Then, after our bi-weekly meeting they brought out a cake and sang me happy birthday. After work I went to dinner with my daughter and her mom. Overall it was a very nice birthday.

February 19, 2025, Wednesday morning, 7:01am, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. I read about “counter-intentions” last night. That we might hope, wish, plan for a new life structure but old thoughts, feelings and emotions pull us back to familiarity and sameness. I am getting sucked back to old habits; liking my paycheck, surviving instead of thriving. Bring lazy, wanting free time, doing the bare minimum to get by. 6:04pm, Wednesday evening, school of rock parking lot, San Juan Capistrano, California,USA. Today I realized the culmination of my purpose and energy. To reach my full potential, to honor what I am good at, what I have historically done to make money, to encounter quantum leaps, reach the next level, be social, engage boss energy, etc. I need to start/buy/own a hospice. That also gives my daughter a legacy career if she so chooses. That is my intention.

February 18, 2025, Tuesday night, 6:26pm,pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. This morning I had an interesting thought. Instead of wondering what I would sell, how I would sell it or how much money I would make if I started a new business I asked myself what would I have someone do if I hired them? If I had money and resources how would I use them? What support do I need? By framing my thoughts that way I approached the concept of work and business from a different angle. Generally speaking, I want to thrive, not survive. Wake up and be excited about the new day. And I want to always (eventually) reach the next level. Get better everyday. By seeing things in a different way I can approach my life’s purpose from a different angle and unlock new possibilities.
