Greetings from Quarantine

Hey!

I've been making baby steps toward a possible refinance. Fuck Quicken Loans/Rocket Mortgage, they have got serious issues...maybe it's exacerbated by the work from home stuff, but I am done!

I've been deliberately energizing my thoughts by going for selective control and bombarding myself with love and positive thoughts  24/7. 

Yeah yeah. (so that's the last you'll hear from me on that company named above, I wish them all the best!) 

Love, the Secret, the Law of Attraction. It's all so sparkly, comforting and hopeful. I suppose going the other way, as an alternative, would be the definition of stupid. Wait, looking up stupid. "having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense"

And so I agree. It's just common sense to appreciate good things and minimize bad ones. Don't ya wanna feel good? What's it gonna be then?!  Gratitude, intention, love and awareness. Some of the

 Tesla, physics, vibrational tuning, magnets aspects of it all......I presume that's where the (lack of) intelligence comes in; that bit (physics?) might take a bit more effort. But just feeling good? Its a given that you want that. 

So I've been reading The Secret of The Power - hey having a library book right now is almost as good as owning it, I'm on my second read thru. And some of the statements really resonate with me. It takes some effort to remember to 'turn toward the light'  :) sometimes, but the times we're in seem to be aiding the process and that might seem ironic, no? Plenty of meditations and advice on the 'net to inspire.  Daily walks really help, for me anyway. 

lovingly,

La

Things I like

Some things I love: white and green flowers and great green filler: tall, fluffy, spiky, different. I saw a car that caught my eye yesterday, parked a few houses down the street. Hmm, I like that. Turns out to be a Porsche SUV; wait I'll look it up. OK, Porsche Cayenne - about $70k. I am not a car person, but when I see what I like......Add that to the list. I like being near the water, living in a beach town. Also Paris, which is near the Seine but obviously is Paris. I could be happy with a month a year in Paris and a month a year in Nice, or Key West or Ogunquit - anywhere I could be ON the water and I really love the ocean or a big sea.....just saying. I love the Teddy Blake Adelia bag in lizard. Swoon. I like being trim and tan. I love to write. I love to perform in the band - singing and being funny. I love to be thankful for all I have, which is most of this list actually. Well, some.
Today I had a two and half hour call with an old college roomie and then an hour call with another one. Varying degrees of contact over the years but no matter. There may be a road trip out west coming soon. As can actually happen in the time of corona. I've loved walking daily. Really love the first green and yellow that shows up in nature in Spring. And now, the trees! Their show is just beginning and I plan to enjoy every act. I've clipped forsythia, some daffodils, chives, lavender - all from my own yard - to place around the house. Like all of the world I've been watching youtube videos on this year's garden. Big plans especially b/c of no gigging. Generally I'm gung ho in the spring and, as the gig schedule gets summer busy, I lose my garden mojo. Zucchini, microgreens, potato, sweet potato, radish, beets???? We'll see. Tomatoes are the only "for sure" we get volunteers every year from the previous year's crop. I also want to get some zinnias in there - they are great.
Oh, just thought about my peonies - and hydrangeas - love these perennials sooo much. Also my one rose bush, a Mme Isaac Pereiere - so lush. xxoo
