Happy New Year
you are what you think----so if you have a negative thought---promply replace it with an affirmation that you will get what you want and you will.
i won't have time to write in this room much after feb.1st because my work schedule won't allow---so wanted to wish you love.
i was talking with a pianist the other day and he sounded so "down". i told him to try to replace negative thoughts with positive ones and soon---"the positive side will win out".
he said "interesting" because someone gave me a sort of self help dvd called "the secret" and though i haven't watched it yet---i was told what you are saying is the premise of the dvd.i'ts about our thoughts attracting the wrong people and situations to our life"
he watched it and called me and said----it's like we knew this all along, but somehow someone else reinforcing the principle gives it validity.
i haven't seen the dvd----but he called me yesterday and told me he was keeping it playing on the tv while he was doing stuff at his apt. and while he was working on music
he said--
"i have attracted who and what i didn't want--- over and over again and while i was a bit insulted that a friend gave me this self help dvd--for christmas----
i'm certainly not touting it--- cause i haven't seen it----
but i had dinner with him and he is "way more relaxed and happy" than i have ever seen him. he tended to be a d and g sort of guy(doom and gloom)
he is an older musician and has let his fears of age stop him from acting agressively for his music--
everyone has plusses and minuses, but if you are gifted---please don't let anything or anyone stand in the way of attracting all that will bring your music or voice to the foreground and also--
don't let anyone in your life in a major way who does not add to who you are---without subtracting from who you are.
hey, i'm no sage----but the above has proved true in my life, for sure.
you deserve the best in 2007
i'm having it---and i hope you will say(like in "when harry met sally"
i'll have what she's having!!!
joy!!! fun!!! passion!!! and most of all "heres' to the music"
yours and mine!!
