Day 24- A letter to your parents

Day 24- A letter to your parents (I will start with this blog topic when I begin again on Friday)


Hi there, Hope everyone that has been reading this blog has been somewhat intrigued...:) I have to take a few days off from blogging, because I am going to a seminar at 6AM tomorrow, but I am not  giving up on it, so hopefully you will keep reading upon my return. Thank you once again for reading... :) 


Peace, Sigrid

Day 23- Something you crave for a lot- Nov. 8, 2011

Day 23 of this 30-day Challenge and the thing I crave most is Swedish candy, salted black licorice, anything with Marzipan and of course anything dark chocolatey...:)!!! There is nothing quite like Swedish candy and salt licorice here in America! Living in San Diego is a plus for me, because there is an IKEA, so some of my Swedish cravings do get satisfied regularly!

Peace, Sigrid

Day 22- What makes you different from everyone else-Nov. 7, 2010

Day 22- What an interesting question...! I have been told that I am different from "other girls, women, people" my whole life. I am not quite sure that I have ever received a completely honest, in-depth answer to these statements! I believe that we are all different, that we all have unique characteristics that we bring to the table and share with one another taking turns both teaching and being schooled.

I like to laugh a lot. My family and friends are extremely important to me. I want to change the world through my own actions by being the change I would like to see in it! I love to exercise. Music and the arts are some of my many passions. Traveling is in my blood. I love being involved in Real Estate, it's what I do...

I am not sure if some of these things are what makes me different... In fact I think that which makes us all different are our life experiences. Perhaps being raised Swedish in an American Society could be one of the numerous ways that differentiates me from most others...

Peace, Sigrid

Day 21- A picture of something that makes you happy

Day 21-Here are some pictures of things that make me happy... :))))

There is sooooo much more that makes me happy.. friends, reading, learning, traveling, music, theater, good food, etc..., but these are a few things that make me smile!

Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future

Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future may be a tough one for me to blog about. 


You see as of right now I am not sure that I see myself marrying or being with anyone at this point! It is not that I am jaded and do not believe in love or marriage, because I do whole-heartedly. I am currently working on me and I am not ready for that aspect of life right now, so I do not have a clear picture of what that looks like for me! As I work on myself, I am constantly changing and growing through the lessons I learn, which in turn changes the life partner I see myself with. Does that make any sense? I do know that integrity and friendship will play an important role... 


Peace, Sigrid

Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them- November 4, 2010

Day 19 and now we have to come clean with nicknames that we have and why we have them... It is funny that I can't really say that I have a lot of nicknames currently...

Growing up I had several... One was Sunny and I think it came from just being light and happy most of the time... Then there was Ice Princess when I was in high school. I think it had to do with me being kind of a prude.. I am not quite sure. I graduated to Vanilla, which was the opposite of my best friend whose nickname was Chocolate and that stemmed from my fairness and her dark hair and beautiful olive complexion. We were always joined at the hip and on those rare occasions when we were apart people would always ask us, "where's Chocolate?" or "where's Vanilla???". From there, I somehow had acquired the nickname Zena from a guy friend that frequented a drinking establishment that I worked in. Then, of course there are the really important ones that I have earned such as Mom, Mommy, Mama, etc...:))) My grandmother had some wonderful Swedish nicknames that she had bestowed upon me such as Solstral, which means sun ray and of course my dear ol' Daddy who has called me Ziggy for as long as I can remember and my beloved Mommy who calls me Siggan with a Swedish twist!

I love them all and consider myself fortunate to have people in my life who felt endeared enough to me to give me a loving nickname to honor theirs and my connection.

Hope your night is peaceful... Sigrid

Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have

Day 18 of my 30-Day Challenge! I can't believe it's already been 18 days since I began this blog! At first I dreaded it and now I look forward to it... Time really does fly when you're having fun!


Some of my Plans/dreams/goals include: I plan on becoming a successful Realtor in San Diego. I dream about inner peace and learning the art of quieting my mind. I look forward to living, loving and laughing my way through the confusing labyrinth of life with those that I hold dear to my heart... 


Thank you for listening to my voice...


Namaste,


Sigrid

Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why...

What an interesting concept... Hmmmm, let's see... The only person I could fathom switching lives with would be one of my daughters and strictly to bring insight and experience to their world's if only for a day! I am perfectly content with my own life and do not wish to switch with anyone.

Please let me clarify the fact that the reason I do not wish to switch into any other person's life is not because I feel that mine is without fault! I just cannot imagine wanting to be anyone but me even with all of my shortcomings. Think about it, isn't it challenging enough to be in your own skin that you are comfortable in rather than trying to be in another's skin that comes with it's own set of issues and problems as well as perks! Even if it's only for a day! Afterall, I do not know about you guys, but I certainly have had days that seem like eternity's and being someone else for what could seem like an eternity may prove rather tortuous as opposed to rewarding and/or fun!

Thank you for reading all this psychobabble... hope you have a fantabulous night!

Peace, Sigrid

Day 16- Another picture of yourself...!

Day 16- WOW! Yet another photo of moi! I am starting to feel extremely narcissistic!

Here's one during a walkabout with my peeps at the Wild Animal Park here in my own back yard. There are so many amazing adventures to be had year round here in San Diego! It has been a real treat discovering some of the many treasures that this little slice of paradise has to offer, (which I have to credit my friend Vanessa with, for taking me in under her wing and showing me around to quite a few of them!)... It could take a lifetime to uncover them all! Pretty exciting to realize that I have only just begun to explore this magical place... :)

Peace, s

Day 14- A picture of you and your family

Day 14- A picture of me and my family...  the two true loves of my life!

As for Day 13- I am sorry, but I am not going to share a letter to someone that hurt me recently. First of all I cannot say that anyone has hurt me recently. I keep my world rather protected in order to shield myself from that type of thing right now so that being said... all is well...:)! I have put my past hurts behind me and work diligently on forgiveness for those that cause me or anyone I care about harm.

Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

Day 13- Wow, hmmm, this is a tall order! I am not sure that I am comfortable sharing a letter to someone that has hurt me recently with the rest of the world! I will have to ponder this today and get back to you later!

Day 12- How you found out about Blogger and why you made one...

Day 12 of the 30-Day Blogging Challenge... How I found out about Blogger was through my coworker Ashley and I created a blog upon the recommendation of my friend extraordinaire/coworker/trainer Art who requested that we all try blogging out for 30 days to see if was something we could become comfortable doing to help us with our businesses.

Personally, I have found it very rewarding internally to do this... it is almost therapeutic, like journaling! Anyhooo, have fun out there and i'll be speaking with you again tomorrow!

Peace, Sigrid

Day 08- Short Term Goals For This Month And Why... - October 25, 2010

Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why... Where shall I start?!!! One of my short-term goals for the next 30 days is to complete my taxes from previous years. I am working on getting my girls organized as well, so that home runs really smoothly and enables me to work efficiently. Another goal for the upcoming month is to complete the SDAR Orientation and the Buffini Seminar in Anaheim. My most daunting task is to finish getting organized with everything for work, including a newsletter, organizing and reconnecting with my business contacts, understanding and getting and all of my social networking in place and up and running properly, etc. in order for me to really focus on being productive at work! Phew, I do not know about you, but just writing all that "stuff" has me spinning...:)!!!

Hope you are all well and that any and all goals you have for the next 30 days comes to fruition for you... Peace, Sigrid
