Thank you for praying for my Thurston. The same day I posted my blog about him, he had a very bad reaction to his chemotherapy and had to go to the hospital for a few days but I'm happy to report that my little lion is home and eating. He's not great – but he's not suffering like he was last week. Me, on the other hand? I have been so upset and stressed over him, I got shingles! Ugh, it sucks.
But I watched a movie the other day that actually changed my life. It's called The Secret – have you heard of it? I never say you HAVE to do anything, right? So trust me when I say – you HAVE to watch this movie. You can watch it on your computer at www.thesecret.tv for about 5 bucks (the dvd is much more expensive). I kid you not – you will not regret watching it. You will only regret not watching it sooner. (Don't put it off – trust me.)
After I watched it, it occurred to me that I've always followed The Secret without even knowing it. Here's what I mean: My friend Jen recently asked me if I was stressed when I was about to graduate from college. I had to think back for a second and I remembered that while of course I was a bit anxious, I mainly just fantasized about my dream life. I was always a fantasizer (especially in class! Haha) and fantasizing about my future was no exception. I pictured myself as a fashion editor, surrounded by amazing, amazing clothes and really interesting people. I pictured myself hanging out with models (I know – in retrospect that's pretty corny but WHATEVER I'm just being honest) and going to lots of cool parties. I fantasized down to the details – the places we'd go and how people would perceive me. And you know what happened? It all came true. I started at my dream job as a Fashion Assistant about a week after graduation having gotten the call about the job on GRADUATION DAY! I dreamed it and it came to me.
That's what The Secret is all about: How to make the Laws of Attraction work for you. All you need is a big imagination and a goal. It's always worked for me. As I type this, I'm looking around my apartment – and that's another example. I live in a beautiful apartment on the Hudson River in Manhattan with gorgeous views of the Statue of Liberty and the George Washington Bridge. I remember when I first read about this building going up, I had no business thinking I'd ever live there. But I said to myself, "THAT'S where I'm going to live." And sure enough, here I am.
Thurston's health problem really threw me off my usual game – and I think my reaction made HIM feel sicker – and ultimately made me sick too. I would just next to him and sob, talking out loud asking God why he was making him suffer so much. And instead of feeling better, both of us just got sicker. Ever since I started calling him my Miracle Lion, we've both been better. I'm putting good energy out there and it's coming back to me like a boomerang.
Please watch the movie. It's a BIT hokey at times. But I know you will be many steps closer to your dream life if you see it. I promise. Let us know what you think once you see it, okay? And if you have any stories of your own about how putting out good energy got you closer to your dreams, please share. I love to be inspired and I know our other sisters do as well.
Until we meet in person, you know where I am 24/7, as always.
