Meet Wally


This is my little friend Wally. She is a ceramic doggie from the early 1950's. I became her owner back in 2007. Before I found Wally, I had an image in my mind of her. I went to several antique stores and garage sales but I came up empty handed. I knew Wally was out there somewhere and that I'd find her eventually. Little did I know that I was using the Law of Attraction. She was in my mind, I had the picture, but I had to manifest her. It was the summer of 2007, I was on vacation, a bus trip of the west. After the ride through Montana, I was ill. I had tried Huckleberries for the first time ever as I had Huckleberry Lemonade, Huckleberry ice cream, hell, I even had Huckleberry soda. They have Huckleberry everything in Montana. I think I had an allergic reaction or something. I was sleeping on the bus and the bus left Montana and entered Idaho. I awoke when the bus stopped in a town called Wallace. I had no idea how we got there, just that when I awoke from my feverish sleep, I was in this town. The tour guide told us that they filmed part of the movie Dante's Peak in this town. It was very pretty, with steep mountain sides with forests. I walked down the street, not feeling well, but walked by an antique store and in the window was this ceramic dog glistening with the sunlight reflecting off the ceramic. I immediately felt attracted to this dog. This was exactly what I was looking for. I went in the store and adopted this little doggie. She cost $20 but it was well worth it as she is almost 9" tall and is very pretty. I named her Wally since I found her in Wallace, Idaho and she has been my little ceramic friend ever since.

My epiphany last week


One day last week, I was at work, and in the afternoon, I was glancing at an magazine about decorating and architecture. While I was doing this, the setting sun shone into a window I don't ever remembering happening before, and was blinding me as I was looking at this magazine. It was so wonderful to say the least. I felt so happy, it was like the energy of the sun was entering my body and making me feel good. It was way better to have that positive energy focused on me rather than the draining florescent lighting. Anyway, while all this was happening, I got a feeling inside me, I realized then that I could do anything that I wanted and that whatever I decided to do, I'd be successful and happy at it. I was looking at that magazine and all I could think about was how I love decorating and that I love houses and floor plans. I have always known that these things were things that I had a deep passion for, but I realized now that it is possible that I can fulfill that and be successful at it. The sun makes me feel so happy.

Ummm, who is the intelligent one?


I got this coupon the other week. I was like "wow, a $3 off coupon, awesome." Then I read under the big print, "compliments of Bimbo Bakeries." I stopped myself when I came across the name of the company. Bimbo Bakeries, what? Not sure what they would name the bakery that. After looking up what bimbo means, physically attractive yet unintelligent. OK, we have an attractive bakery that is unintelligent. Maybe it describes their bakery products? Maybe their bakery products are attractive, but the quality is inferior and lacking something? Maybe they use all artificial ingredients and that is definitely not smart, not for the consumer. Maybe the bimbo refers to the consumer that buys the products as they are not smart to buy the inferior products? Its very interesting.
