So, it takes a village and all of that, but when does the weave of relationships become so tight the threads break? I read Percy Ross' book How to Ask For the Moon and Get It and I'm still struggling with my manifestation skills. Ross' book wasn't my first self improvement text. In fact, I've always had a little fetish for them. However, he was one of my first elderly, Anglo-Saxon, millionaire heroes. Most of my heroes were usually the opposite of old rich guys. But this guy had a newspaper column through which he discerned con-artists from the sincerely needy and gave away money based upon their great letters .
Of course, that was almost fifteen years ago. Fifteen years ago I was fearless, self-deluded, and mystical so my my personal magic wand had more strength.How fun!
So, now, as I stand still on a motionless wave that I'm impatiently waiting to break on the sands of Los Angeles into a recording studio, I'm doing whatever I can to stay motivated. Well, sometimes I'm just trying to stay sane. What's truly difficult is how I've come to need so many people to build my puzzle but trying to get them to put down their pieces is often like trying to drag mules through mud.
So for them, and my own stubborn self, I've got my own reality check of an Affirmations CD. The CD, entitled " You're Not a Big Fat Loser," is an overall tune-up for your fatal flaws and is available for purchase at www.amyarena.com/store or you can contact me directly. I've always been into the mamby-pamby, self-help, sissy stuff, but wanted a way to make it accessible to actual people living in reality and so my legacy begins.
Here's what's been said -
"Your affirmations really spoke to me... and that's scary! ... I'm going to share it with those that I know that need it. Thanks for that." - Craig H, Debate Coach.
"I've listened to 1 and 2 already and laughed my a** off..." - Sharon E, Writer.
"Human Being 101 for the morally challenged..." Diana C, Personal Assistant to Life Coach
***Partial proceeds from the album sales are going to Paws Sanctuary for performing animals. Lord knows we performers take some abuse!
Now then, here's some info to enrich your lives.
I LOVE this photographer. Sharp speaking photography that starkly shows the truth in living. http://www.benjaminkrain.com/
Sophisticated Hobo Tip: If you're going to be somewhere for a few days with little money, first thing to do is find a church and get a spaghetti dinner for a cheap meal and to talk to the locals for serious entertainment. If you're really lucky, the church has a soup line for the hungry. Homeless people have incredibely rich stories, and those who aren't so articulate make even better stories. Anyway, these people can give you the ins and outs of town better than any tour guide.
This month's Hero? Well, I had to pay him, but my site's fully updated, functional, and finally running blogs now thanks to Patrick Kenny - www.ptmkenny.com
I'm also incredibly impressed with my mom who's whole world has been turned upside down by a torn rotator cuff that may or may not put her into a major financial turmoil. She's taking her tiny little self to her first physical therapy regime
today! Too bad she doesn't have a computer.
be motivated,
