March 9, 2009- Taking a Field Trip- By Dailyom.com

When we were children, few words were more exciting to hear than the phrase "field trip." Field trips were a break from schoolwork and an opportunity to go on an adventure with friends. Now that we are grown ups, taking a field trip can be just as fun and memorable � if only we were willing to sign our own permission slips so we could go on one.
Allowing yourself to get stuck in your routine can make life seem boring. Adding a touch of variety to your life in the form of a field trip can break up the monotony of your days and lead you to adventure. Unlike the jaunts that were regulated by teachers or monitored by parents, taking a field trip as an adult can lead you anywhere you want. You can go on a daylong retreat or spend just a few hours at your destination. A field trip can be an opportunity to explore a new landscape or discover something about yourself. Taking a day trip to another town or visiting an unfamiliar spot in your neighborhood can be educational and fun. There is also much to be said for finding a beautiful spot under a tree where you can read a book. You can even go to one of your favorite spots and allow yourself to experience it as if you were visiting there for the first time. Going on a field trip is as much a state of mind as it is a change in the scenery.
During a �grown up� field trip, schedules, clocks, and duties are put aside so you can focus wholeheartedly on mindfully enjoying yourself. Planning a field trip can be almost as fun as going on one. A field trip is an excursion to look forward to and an experience to be savored after the fact. Wherever you decide to go and whatever you decide to do, going on a field trip can add much pleasure and excitement to your life.

A Concrete Dream
Goals
By: Dailyom

Our desires act as fuel, propelling us toward new horizons. Without something to strive for, we stagnate and become stuck in ruts of our own making because we are unsure of what to do next. Goals are the dreams that we are willing to work for. When we set goals, we take responsibility for our lives and choose to wholeheartedly devote ourselves to our aspirations. Even if we only take the smallest steps toward achieving our ambitions, it is vital that we actively pursue our goals rather than just daydreaming about them. Having goals makes us feel good because it adds a sense of purpose and direction to our lives.

When you endeavor to achieve clear and quantifiable goals, your choices and actions take on new significance. Consciously creating your goals can help ensure that the success you seek is attainable and serves you. Your plan must be conceivable, tangible, and measurable. If you cannot visualize your goal in great detail or believe that you can realize them, you may find it difficult to commit to your goals and take the necessary steps to achieve them. Make sure that your goals have the potential to be emotionally satisfying. You may even want to write them down. Putting your goals into words can keep your intention fresh in your mind and remind you of your purpose. As you make progress toward realizing your goals, give yourself a reward each time you take a step forward so that you have the incentive to keep going. If you find yourself stuck in a rut, examine ways in which you can revise your strategy so that your plan can work.

In creating goals, you create your future by outlining your destiny. When you choose your goals using your head and heart, you take the first step in manifesting what you want. You grant your own wishes every time you achieve another goal.

"Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is a quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weakness...."

Alrighty my 3-4 week long vacation has come to an end I want to put my time and energy into spreading the word about VintageGirlsClub.com. If you have ideas please share.

During my long "vacation" I was in New York which is beautiful in the winter. The city always busy as hell and snow covering the grounds. One thing I will say is no matter what the weather is like New York streets are always busy. The cold weather was great but after 5 days I headed to a little town called San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua. I know you are thinking NICARAGUA?!?! Why the hell there?!?! When I was planning my trip all i knew was that I wanted to go somewhere warm and take in a lifestyle that's simple. The above picture is what I got to wake up to, beautiful sunrises, every morning. My days were filled with sun, beaches, reading, walking everywhere, stars (which are non-existent in the city), cold showers (the hotel I stayed in didn't have hot water- most of them dont), beers for 1.20, and so much more :) It really gives one a lot of time on their hands to reflect on their life in a relaxed atmosphere. Something everyone needs! i think everyone should consider going to San Juan Del Sur! Let me know I will go again :)

The people of San Juan are very kind and the people traveling through San Juan Del Sur were fun to meet. I met a lot of Australian Surfers on the road for months and stopped there to catch waves. Ladies....I will say I met some beautiful men on this trip. It was nice eye candy while I read my book Twilight and soaked in the sun.

Well like my title says BACK TO REALITY. I gotta get back to work :(

Enjoy my pictures from my trip! Click on album below.
