  4. Hey sweetie – love the picture! I am working SO HARD at the moment – I know my own personal iTC is going to go on for longer than a month, but it’s good to be reminded that next term I will be out the other side of this startup mayhem and things will be running smoothly. I only have to do things for the first time once!

  9. If you (and I) weren’t married, Gala, I may just have very well proposed marriage.
    I LOVE Paulo Coelho. He’s changed my life.

  10. Hmmm yes. If I didn’t have dreams and asperations to break free from my current monotony, I think I’d quite possibley go crazy from bordem!

    While I have been successful with my challenge, I think I focused on something too easy (well, sort of) instead of tackling the things I really want to change in my life. I think maybe a month is too short for my own grand transformation, but I think it was on Nubbys blog (can’t remember?) I read about making a plan for about 3 years in which it is possible to attain awesome goals without becoming overwhelmed.

    Never the less the challenge has helped me break free from a bad health habbit which neaded to be ditched!

    I think I shall go forth every month with a small challenge contributing to my larger goals that I wish to obtain!

    :3 positive vibes !!

  11. Yay Paulo Coelho!! I love his novels! Veronika Decides to Die literally changed my life.

  12. I have been absolutely loving the ITC! Last year I sat and watched the challenge, this year I have thrown myself in. I can honestly say that my challenge has been the most satisfying thing I have ever done. It has helped me to finally find my passion in terms of a career. Thank you gala xo

  13. I had all sorts of blog goals when ITC started and I’ve achieved the most important goals – I’ve been posting almost every day, and I think I’ve written a few things that are beautiful and useful – but the best thing about ITC was inadvertently developing a morning writing habit.

    If you’d like to read the blog, it’s here. It’s all about adding fruits and vegetables, cooking from scratch, thinking about the ethics of eating, and really loving and enjoying food. www.localizing.wordpress.com/

  14. So dream.

    And thank you, Gala, for telling me about Sara Beak’s book, The Red Book. It’s exactly what I needed for the place that I currently find myself.

  15. I came across this myself this morning as I was looking for some motivation. This is muchly needed as the dreaded uni returns and all my dreams seem to go on a holiday. Not this year.

  16. I love finding inspiration and I found this site I think you will love if you haven’t already found it yourself!

  17. I was daydreaming about looking at roses and drinking tea and long walks around the place and how beautiful they all is and how happy it makes me, all in physics this morning.

    But then I thought- why not today, why wait for the weekend to LIVE. So I bought a beautiful bouquet of roses with a touch of pink with dark green ferns all around and gave them to my mum. And carrying them home I felt so light and happy, the nicest type of happy there is and a real love letter to the universe.

    XOXO

  18. Sleeping in night masks (is that the proper term??) really makes me feel like a pampered Victorian noblewoman. I have one in pale pink silk, one shaped like two hearts in red silk, and a plain purple one… but the purple one matches my bedspread!

  19. i love this quote!! it’s definetly one of my favorites and very true to myself indeed.

  20. This challenge, so far, has been so good to me!
    Deciding to change some things in my life has brought me so many surprises — & all of them great. It feels good to be working actively towards my goals. :)

  21. :-( Spammonster!

    The best thing that has happened on my ITC (Other than losing more than my goal weight!) is the advent of my new music blog!
    http://waxcylinders.blogspot.com
    It has always been my dream to be a music journalist, and I realized with the internets, anyone can be! Hooray!

  22. Ahhh Paulo is my favorite writer in the world. He has most def. helped me in achieving my dreams. I have been bestowed the grand honor of meeting him in Paris in a couple of weeks. Dreams do come true folks…tried and true :)
