into the becoming

* down to 261 this morning

Okay, so i was being completely miserable and aching for sleep when i turned on the Oprah show. Do you know how hard it is to sleep when you have pleurisy? It sucks the big one. Anyway.

The topic of the Oprah show was a reaction to something called "The Secret." Google it, i'm too sick to link. Basically, "The Secret" is all about the Universal Law of Attraction.

*pauses to sneeze* It's maddening how much sneezing both hurts and makes me feel better.

The Universal Law of Attraction says that you attract the same type of energy that you put out.

Period.

Go ahead, take a moment and roll that around in your head.

So, i'm listening to all these reactions to this bigfatTheSecret, and i'm thinking....wow, i did all this a month ago, without help. This is what hit me upside the head that one (i keep wanting to say horribleterrible weekend, but it really wasn't...) life-changing weekend, when i realized that what i was doing would never be enough. i was expecting too much from the little effort i was putting out. Now that i'm putting out more effort, i'm getting the results i was looking for.

Even more importantly, it's infiltrating other areas of my life.

frog don't need no stinkin' Oprah.
