I am not happy all the time. Just wanted to set that straight. Seems like my reputation is mythed, as the all-too- common belief is that I am super positive all the time. Ba'sha as my friend Judy would say. Not possible! It's not about being all positive all the time. It's about being flexible about how you think. It's about choosing thoughts in line with your higher self - which is in line with what you want -- not what you need or should -- but what you really, really want. I realize I can come across like a "Rah - Rah" cheerleader...

As one of my childhood friends said on Facebook tonight, Can't help but feel the gloriously luminous supermoon is all for me. Hello Mr. Moon! And why not? Why not think it's all for you? Not in an ego-filled way that taps your hubris, but in a loving way that rocks your self-efficacy: the belief that you can do whatever you want to do in the world.

Wonder what else I think I don't like, which I may actually like? Hm. I like love, this I know. Heck, I got a tattoo to that affect (and to my mom's dismay) last...

...after a long and intense, 2-year+ pregnancy. Wow, did I learn a lot about vision, strategy, editing, and timing in this process. Thank you to everyone who stuck with me through the labor . . . surely, I needed an epidural, or ten. Kevin Gillespie for his aesthetic heart. A friend, designer and illustrator who I trust with my brand (the serotonin you see as people) and my life (a tattoo saying "I choose love" now appears on my right calf). Julie Lazarus for her design aesthetic, her patience, and her love. An innovator, for sure, and a true blessing in my life. Charl Kroeger...
