No More Weather Reports: I Promise

My cubicle mate at work promised that next week when she gets back from her vacation (at an undisclosed location in the Pacific) the sun will be out for good.

I am holding her to it. Pranks will be played if she is wrong. Of course, I just hope that she doesn't bring back any flesh eating bacteria with her: http://starbulletin.com/2006/04/05/news/story02.html

Oops, just hinted at her previously undisclosed location!

I'm all for positive thinking at this point. After all, isn't today Good Friday when our thoughts turn to a crucifixion, a tomb and darkness....while knowing that a few pages later, the story alters with a miraculous transformation.

So let's all think positive! Our thoughts and words really do have creative power.

One of my favorite authors/speakers, Sonia Choquette, writes a lot about positive thinking, creative power and following your inner vibes. On feelings of discontent, she reflects that this is a sign that it's time to create anew.

So maybe yesterday's funk in the garden was a call to creative action. I'm just not quite sure what to do with it yet.


The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep.
