The Secret

The Secret

I know about positive psychology and the laws of attraction, but it's back again in The Secret. And . . . I like it. Why not. Why not see yourself and your life as you wish it to be instead of focusing on what sucks? This week I am trying an experiment. I am loving life out loud and on purpose. I am fixing my eyes only on what is working. Not on the fact that I haven't completed my major paper for school, but that I am making strides to complete my degree. Not that I am underemployed, but that I am drawing to me wealth and security. I may not be there yet, but I am on that path because my consciousness is there, not on the numbers in my bank account or on my cell phone bill.

People have thought me to be on something the last few days because I am taking a page from my little niece's book- "what do you mean, what am I so happy about? I am happy because I like being happy". Go figure! I am happy because I am! I am not designing a plan to take out my enemies, they are already under my feet. I have no enemies.

I am happy because that's the best way to be. I am happy because I like being happy. I am happy because . . . I am.

What's my password?

I am having the hardest time remember all of my passwords.

I know it would be more efficient to use one password for everything, but for some reason I don't do it. I feel like that would just make it easier for someone who finds out my password to easily take over my life. Now, I know that you may be thinking, "why do you think someone is just waiting to take over your life". My first thought is "if you want it, you can have it, I'll start with my own fresh identity too". Not to mention debt free. But really, some people get off on stealing your identity for whatever purpose. So everything in your life should be password protected.

Furthermore, your password should be "un-guessable". A really good, secure password should be made up of both letters and numbers. Now doesn't that just make it harder to remember. I have at least 4 email addresses, just as an example of the madness. And unfortunately I need all 4 to keep my life compartmentalized. Work, business, school, personal, oh yeah- and the one for junk stuff- you know, when the super market insists on having your email. Every now and again, like when I go on vacation, or veg out for a week and ignore the world, when I return . . . I can't get into my accounts! I can't remember the string of numbers and letters! Then the password help is really no help at all. The hint is something like what's your pet's name. Well I have a cat and I routinely change his name because he doesn't answer to it any way.

And how can you get the numbers in to make the most secure password.

Will I remember the password?. . . fuzzy35cat42buster

What color are my legs?

I was determined not to wear a dress until the first 75 degree day! But I went to a formal event last week (yes, I really did). And I had to wear a dress- I was told I had to. So I did. Mind you, I have pretty nice legs, so I've been told. The problem is wearing a dress when it's so damn cold! Maybe I'm spoiled, but I hate the feel of cold wind on my thighs, and the cold wind always finds its way there.

Clearly I would need to wear tights, stockings, panty hose- you know. So comes the dilemma. Do they really make "skin color" hose for Black women? As I usually do when I can't decide and have only minutes to spare, I bought four different hose. I went home and spent the next ten minutes trying "barely there", "sheer natural", "skin toned", and "tan".

Apparently, I'm tan! Who knew.
