And We're Off...!


Day-3 and counting.

We hope you all are off to an exciting and inspired start. For the next 6-weeks this blog will be dedicated to keeping you up to date with all things related to the 40-day challenge.

Feel free to post thoughts and feeling here and to throw out questions for me or any of the other participants.

Below you will find this week's homework questions. These questions are for your own personal contemplation. On Sunday afternoon the questions will be discussed but at no time are you required to disclose any personal information that you are not comfortable revealing.

A challenge such as this can really stir things up in you life, emotions and body. Be patient with yourself and use the resources available for support.

I have been looking around the internet for some meditation links that may be helpful to you in your challenge. itunes has too many to pick. There are free podcasts (start there) and you can buy some recordings for about $9 or $10. If you come across one that you love please let me know!

We wish you all the greatest success.

Homework Questions
a. How much am I taking responsibility to learn and grow from the experiences, both easy and difficult, that I have in my life?
b. What are my beliefs about:



  • My body (Do I believe it is too heavy, too weak, or just right? Do I believe it serves me well?

  • My relationships? (Do they nourish me? What purpose do they serve in my growth and in my life? Do I believe I am treated as I want or ought to be?)

  • My work? (Is it fulfilling?)

  • Spirituality?(Do I believe in a higher power?)

  • Sex? (What role does it play in my life? Do I experience shame or joy around it? Do I misuse it? Do I see it as a vehicle for spiritual and emotional expression?)

  • Money? (Do I believe it is the root of all evil, or does it simply give me freedom to do what I want in life? Do I have a lot of fear around making it or keeping it?)
c. When in my life am I fully present? In my job? With my partner or kids? When I am working? When I am playing? When I am alone?

d. Where in my life am I hiding? In other words, where do I privately know that I need to take more responsibility and/or become fully present?

e. Where in my life am I flirting with disaster?
