Something interesting...


Well something interesting has already happened with my inspirational poster. I put this picture of a lady dreaming on there because I love having dreams with meaning and I also love having dreams that help me with my writing (I love the butterfly over her head. It conjures up images of magic and fantasy and makes me feel excited about what might be waiting to break free from this crazy brain of mine). So yesterday I focused on this part of my poster several times and said how much I would love to have a dream to help me with one of the stories I'm currently working on. Well at about 1:00 this morning Paige came into our room and woke us up to report that the bathroom sink was leaking. Rick went to help her and I flopped down to go back to sleep when suddenly my mind was filled with a perfect recollection of the dream that I'd been having. I saw a crystal clear image of a character for my story. I saw every detail of how she is supposed to look, her name, interests, role in the story and everything. It was awesome especially because I hadn't even thought of her before. She is completely new to the story and a very welcome addition. I'm very excited about her and her relationship with the main character.
So I guess there really is something to this whole visualization business. Try it out and see what interesting things unfold.

Ok- I see myself thin & tiny. I see myself thin & tiny, I see myself thin & tiny... Poof - dang it all it didn't happen. Maybe when I wake up I will be that way..
Or I'll visualize Troy taking me to Hawaii & think about the beach before bed...

im usually awakened into a harsh stressfull reality that jolts me out of bed shaking in my boots, and i scramble and panic through the day trying to fix whatever woke me up!! blech!
