The Empowered Lifestyle

Okay, so I was sitting at a funeral mass this morning and I was worrying over something so trivial and then came a special reading for the friend's faux dad who died and there was just something about the way the priest was leaning on certain words...

It was a biblical reading dealing with giving things over to your Higher Power and then just trusting that your faith will fulfill your dreams. It simply but powerfully resonated with me and immediately I just exhaled. I let go in order to let God. Dorothy surrendered. But I kept the ruby slippers on anyway. Just in case.

But the minute I decided to let the problem go, I felt like a million gajillion bazillion pounds had been lifted and I began quietly crying. In gratitude. And faith. And hope. And belief.

Now, just in case you thought that would be the end of the story, c'mon it IS me, let's all think again. But I will tell you this, I just stopped obsessing and started breathing normally again and, then, when Grayson and I finally got home there were two VERY interesting emails waiting for me wrapped inside the other 9 billion. One was from my local FOX 43 television station telling me that they are starting up a new early morning show and am I interested in all in appearing on the show early next month???

The weird thing is that this producer had NO IDEA that I was just in Philly filming a segment for FOX television there. Rather, she said that she'd recently read a piece about me in a local newspaper and was interested in doing some live on air fodder. Little does she know..by the time I'm done, I'll be anchoring that new show!!!! HEH HEH HEH!

And, then, there was the next mail where someone with a VERY large list dropped by to ask if she could add some of my content to her weekly newsletter? Out of the blue? Just like that!

Okay, the cold hard truth is that neither of these offers is going to radically change the problems I am currently pondering. But they have potential for positive impact and possibility attached and I am all over that! And grateful, grateful, grateful indeed!

So, the moral here is that I turned on my fountain pretty forlornly this morning. I flipped the switch on the outside front porch light but that didn't brighten me one bit. And, of course, I put on my Elephant Power CD in the 'Fame' area trying to get a charge of that effort. Just wasn't music to my ears today.

What was however was the three part harmony created by a priest, the Bible and my own I AM being all telling me to lift 'it' up and give 'it' all away. And, then, believe. So I did. And I do.

And one last..is anyone watching that little Lifetime gem on Sunday nights called 'DROP DEAD DIVA?"

It's hysterical.

And so metaphorical as well.

Bottom line is that a skinny and shallow model type dies in a car crash at the same time that a heftier lawyer girl takes a fatal bullet to the body. The model, not wanting to leave earth quite yet, pushes some button on a heavenly keyboard and ends up coming back in the big girl's body. If I didn't know better I'd think it was just a look at my college/early married life years versus where I am now. And I think that's the point.

No matter, it's funny and poignant and perfectly cast. And one of the main handsome male characters is named Grayson. Enough said.

Watching that show last night got me to thinking about girls (women) and their self esteem. And their personal power. And their sense of self worth....

Center of the home or bedroom is the most critical location to adjust or "cure" in order to enhance inner and personal strength, including anything emotional that falls under that B I G umbrella. This same location is also one of the places for cures that improve self-esteem and self-worth. SIGN ME UP!

Hang a faceted crystal ball on nine (or any multiple of) inches of red ribbon here. This crystal ball doesn't tell your future, it makes it! And then it makes it better.

Feeling much better already! Thanks for that.
