"After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining the soul.

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises.

You begin to accept your defeats with your head held up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child.

And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid flight.

After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure...
you really are strong, and you really do have worth.

And you learn and learn...
with every goodbye you learn."

Good. This is a double-secret exercise.

Pretend you just received a phone call with wonderful, mind blowing, life changing news!

As you put down the receiver, your arms fly up over your head with joy. Pumping fists, then waving palms, like you just crossed a finish line before throngs of adoring fans. You cover your face with your hands trying to contain the euphoria, but it doesn't work, so you reach for the sky again while shaking your head in disbelief. You're grinning, crying, and just so happy!

Yes! Life is awesome, and you feel so grateful!!!!!!!

Got it?

Now if someone catches you doing this, just tell 'em it was your pet psychic who called, and they'll forget everything they just saw.

3rd Aug 2007

"OK, a refresher on what to imagine, when imagining super-fun life-changes, or any kind of change your heart desires: Details are good. Lots and lots of details are even better. Imagine every sight, sound, color, and texture. Aroma, too. The more details the clearer the picture the faster the manifestation.

But tell me, if, hypothetically and unexpectedly, I could help you manifest a Lamborghini faster than a Maserati, and it turned out, once familiar with it, you'd rather have the Lamborghini; someone, blonde, and ravishing, instead of someone, dark, and ravishing, and it turned out upon meeting this person there's no one you'd rather be with; or bring you creative fulfilling work as a designer instead of as an engineer, a home in London rather than Paris, a plane instead of a boat, a windfall instead of just debt-reduction, an Oscar rather than an Emmy, sooner rather than later, and in every case such surprises not only strayed from the details you first imagined, but were deeply in line with a truer you than you even knew existed, wouldn't they just thrill you to pieces?

Good, so now you know what I mean when I say that even as you would ideally imagine every conceivable detail of your heart's desire, don't attach yourself to those details, only to the bigger pictures of wealth and abundance, friends and laughter, health and harmony, thereby leaving me the wiggle-room I need to blow your beautiful mind.

Attached to you,
The Universe."
