Excited! Overwhelmed! Scared! These are just a few of my reactions to this first week of MKE. Honestly, I’m almost at a loss for words right now. I stumbled upon MKE by accident, really.

I receive a regular email newsletter from the authors of a well-known book that made an impact on me. Normally, I don’t look too deeply at the newsletter, but for some reason –and I’m going to say it’s a God thing—I scanned it and then saw them promoting the MKE.

Since I was suspicious if it was too good to be true, for $1, I thought, “why not check it out?” It spoke to me, somehow, that my programming is at the root of why my life is the way it is right now. I knew I needed real change in order to finally meet my goals, so here I am.

Except for perhaps one or two times, I really have to say that I am doing the homework faithfully, AND I do hope that habit will last. I’m known for starting things and not finishing them, so right now, I’m just taking it day by day and trying not to focus too much on tomorrow or any days beyond that.

This has been a hectic week for me, coming back from vacation and getting caught up in work and other things, so in some ways, starting MKE came at the worst time.

However, something is drawing me in to keep going, and I don’t want to let this go right now. It is TOTALLY abnormal for me to read out loud, but my husband is not bothered by it, and is actually listening to it and encouraging me.

I am so grateful for that. I was overwhelmed at first with all the setup and getting organized, but I think I have a bit of a handle on things as far as how I’m going about my day.

It’s amazing how the sitting still part hasn’t been that bad, apart from getting so relaxed that I’ve almost fallen asleep! However, maybe that is the point, though. Letting my brain be relaxed to assimilate the information, perhaps? Time will tell.
