Our offer was accepted on a house. We were in a bidding competition with two other buyers. The agent said we were the lowest offer. I didn't care. I decided that THE BEST MANAGER IN THE UNIVERSE (LOA) was on it and I didn't need to do anything except relax. I trusted that whether we got the house or not, everything is working out for us. Our offer was accepted. How is this possible seeing as we were the lowest of three offers? I believe it was Law Of Attraction at work.
Now , because this isn't a typical sale (I won't bore you with details) our fantastic, but overly cautious Realtor, Brian feels he needs to inform us of EVERYTHING that could go wrong before closing. And like the rap artist I quoted once before and whose name I don't know, said, "I ain't tryin' to hear dat".
We were on speaker phone with Brian t'other day and when he started his 'what could go wrong' diatribe, I walked away letting Chip handle it. He asked me to come back. He said, "you need to hear this too". I listened, but was desperately trying NOT to. Remember? I'm trying to keep my head in the clouds.
Does this make sense to you? I feel I don't need to know what MIGHT go wrong. I'm counting on everything going RIGHT. Knowing what might go wrong, just puts WRONG in my vibration and then those negative thoughts can begin to niggle at me and make me anxious, so now I've got ANXIETY & WRONG in my vibration and what I want is EASE & FLOW. Like attracts like.
LOA says we are mostly vibrational beings and the universe responds to that (vibrations). You feel anxious? Well the universe is very cooperative and will give you more of that. Then of course if you feel ease, the universe being it's wonderful cooperative self, gives you more of that.
EASE & FLOW is how I'm going to deal with this. When Brian & Chip start worrying about this or that. I'm going to trust the MANAGER is on it and that I have nothing to worry about. Everything is working out for me. I don't need to know the details, I just need to feel easy. Stay tuned, I'll let you know how it goes.

So Long Lefty
A friend who reads my blog suggested that I've moved away from the original intent of my blog, which, as he saw it, was to write about what I was DOING to manifest what I want in my life and then also to report on the manifestations. He thinks I'm not really doing much of that. I agree.
There are many ways the writers of Law Of Attraction, Jerry & Esther Hicks suggest manifesting what you want. But for today, I will concentrate on one, Deliberate Focusing. Deliberate Focusing means to consciously get into the FEELING of what it would be like to have what one wants. One thing I want is to have a studio produce my feature length comedy, So Long Lefty.
So for today I will imagine being on the set and talking to Jason Sudeikis who is playing the lead role.(Jason is really nice, although he spends an inordinate amount of time on his hair. He's also insecure about his third nipple, but only I know that about him, because he confides in me). And Helen Mirren has signed on to play mom (Her English accent is fake. She's really from Hoboken N.J., but only I know that about her because she confides in me.) And as the brother, my friend Allen. This is his star vehicle. People will say "You're a genius for finding him. he's hilarious!". And then Allen will be beholden to me for ever.
Actually, the more people beholden to me the better, so I'll imagine having all my actor friends in the movie, Margaret Ann, Anne Marie, Denise, Sheila, Joe, Jenn, Bruce, Connie, Dayle, David, Stacy, Susan and other genius actor friends playing in the supporting roles. It's gonna be one huge party! AND EVERYONE WILL BE BEHOLDEN TO ME!! WAHAHAHAHAHA! Ha.
Then one day, some P.A I've never met will walk up to me and say, "Um excuse me, aren't you the writer?" and I'll be all flattered, expecting a compliment and say, "Why yes, that would be I" and then they'll say, "The director wants you off the set because it makes everyone uncomfortable every time you scream, NO! NO! THAT IS NOT HOW I WROTE IT, STOP KILLING MY BABIES!" and as I'm escorted out they'll add, "Besides, didn't you know? No one cares about the writer, so beat it!". Even in my fantasies I'm not welcome.
What care I, if I'm not welcome on set? I still got paid suckers!!!
So friends, I will be on the set of So Long Lefty if you need moi (pardon my French).

My Balls Are Dropping
My 'Pink Cloud' burst and now I need a 'Pink Umbrella'. What does this mean? Who cares. Nothing matters. I suck. All right, I'll stop feeling sorry for myself. The Pink Cloud metaphor in AA describes the mental place a person is when they first become sober. At first, it's all new, it's exciting, staying sober is easy (or relatively easy). It's sort of the honeymoon period of AA.
My honeymoon is over. The past couple of days I've had what you might call a crisis of faith in my YOLJ project. I'm happy to say, that I'm back on track now, but the last two days sort of sucked. I started questioning the whole Law Of Attraction thang. Where is my $44 mil? WHERE??? But then I thought, "this is an experiment, pretend you're a scientist, how would a scientist approach this?" So I donned my white lab coat, 'coke bottle' spectacles, mussed my hair, grabbed a microscope and began speaking with a German accent. Many of these items left over from my last show titled, Scientist Stereotypes.
Wikipedia says about experiments, "An experiment is a methodical procedure carried out with the goal of verifying, falsifying, or establishing the accuracy of a hypotheses."
My Hypothesis: Our thoughts have energy and interact with the laws of the universe.
Wikipedia's definition of LOA: "...Positive and negative thinking bring about positive and negative physical results, respectively. According to LOA, the phrase "I need more money" allows the subject to continue to "need more money". If the subject wants to change this they would focus their thoguhts on the goal (having more money) rather than the problem (needing more money). This might take the form of phrases such as "I have as much money as I need" or "I have a job that pays very well"...like attracts like.
When I begin thinking negatively, I must change my thought to something positive. Not always easy to be sure. And true, I'm having trouble seeing with these coke-bottle glasses, but it's all part of being a scientist. Scientists don't quit after a month and they don't comb their hair (no time, they're too busy doing science stuff).
So maybe my experiment isn't as cut and dry as proving gravity "If I throw this ball in the air it will drop to the ground". My experiment deals with the mind...MY mind, which, lets face it, can be at times an unpredictable, often scary place.
I gave this project a year. It's time to turn up the Joy volume, yo! I said, I'M TURNING UP THE VOLUME! So to speak, I said SO TO SPEAK! I have no idea what that means, but it sure sounds like I mean business and that's what I'm all about, business and the meaning of such.
I know, some of this is confusing, but whatever, the gist is, I'm a scientist working on an experiment and I'm turning up the sound or volume or something while meaning business. I'll keep you posted on if that ball stays in the air.

I Want To Punch My Own Face In
Yesterday, I wanted to punch my own face in. I have this wonderful friend, we'll call her Cheryl to protect her identity, because, the name Cheryl sounds nothing like, Tanya, which is her real name...oops.
So yesterday I was talking about what's been going on with moi (pardon my French) and we got into me quitting my job and how Law Of Attraction allowed me to do that. Now understand, I TOTALLY get that not everyone is on board with this whole LOA thang and I'm not here to convince anyone, because I myself still have this kernel of "come on, it can't be this easy" doubt. So anyway, I said to Tanya, "I want to convince you to quit your 'money' job too." And she said, "I can't, I don't have a financial cushion, like you do Julie". So I was like, "that doesn't matter" and THAT is when I wanted to punch my face in.
What a sh*t stain way for me to respond. I shoulda just said, "I get ya girlie", and then given her a huge tongue kiss, but then SHE woulda punched my face in (I mean, she likes me, but she doesn't like me like me.) This morning I began thinking about our conversation and how Tanya and my circumstances seem different. Yes, we do have some money in the bank that we got after selling our house in Boston. But this isn't money to be spent. This needs to go right back into a house. So, barring that money, we are (my husband says) working on a deficit. But as some hip hop singer said, "I ain't tryin' to hear dat". I'm trying to feel abundant, blah, blah, freaking blah. But, cushion or no cushion, deficit or no deficit, none of that is supposed to matter if one is living LOA. It's all about belief. What one believes is what's important. Not "reality", but "vibrational reality".
Maybe Tanya doesn't have a "cushion" of money, but, I think she's way more talented than me and THAT's money in the bank as far as I'm concerned. Talent is a huge, fat very comfy, fluffy, brocade cushion. I guess the difference betwixt she and I is that I believe I can afford to quit my job to pursue my dream. I just need to vibrate my way into more money, writing jobs, acting in porn, etc., right? RIGHT? I don't know.
As of today this YOLJ project is still new and maybe I'm on what they call in AA a 'Pink Cloud'. I'm reveling in not having to go clean houses and excited about blogging and finding it easy (way easier than ever before) to have fun focusing on my dream life. My question is, will this last? Time will tell. It sure FEELS like good things, positive, hopeful things are happening faster than ever. The question is, am I responsible for this or is it just coincidence? LOA say's I AM responsible, that it's a direct result of my living joyfully and focusing. My job was holding me in a place of "non-allowance" and now the job is gone, therefore the resistance is gone and I'm able to allow what I want to come to me. The mere fact that I've been deliberately sending out positive vibrations is responsible, that like attracts like (as in a magnet) and so the more positive vibes I send out, the more come back to me. Abraham say's "You are the vibrational writers of the script of your life." Am I beating this poor deceased horse into glue yet?
So my question is, can Tanya do this too? Does it matter that she's in a different place financially than we are? LOA say's no. But again, can it really be that easy? I guess that is EXACTLY why I'm doing this whole experiment. I quit my job so you don't have to.

Great, Now I'm Bored.
I quit my job, now what? I'm bored. Great, now I don't have an excuse not to pursue my dreams. Crap. Inspiration is supposed to tell me what to do next, right? Inspiration, hello, I'm here, waiting...hello?...Inspiration?... where art thou? Oh there you are.
I'm gonna start video blogging. I'm struggling with the disconnect betwixt writing and talking. Like, when I speak, I have intonation and inflection and wacky, (some would say unbecoming) facial expressions to help get across what I'm trying to express. Would you guys watch a video blog? Would I watch a video blog? Whenever I've seen one (which have not been many) I think,"ew, bad lighting, sound and no production values". I guess the producer in me comes out. Hmmm, I'm gonna have to think about this. I don't have a camera in my computer, but I do have a camera that, apparently I can mount on my computer. Sorry, I'm saying aloud what I should be saying in my head. Well isn't that what a blog is anyway, head thoughts? Opposed to what, elbow thoughts? (Oh boy if my elbows could talk, the things they would say. Probably, "How about a little attention down here! What, you have something against moisturizer?" Apparently my elbows are an old Jewish man) Anyway, perhaps I'll get my procrastinating butt up and mount that camera and then hire a huge production staff to build a set, rig some lighting and wire me for sound (I won't do any of that). We'll see. It'll be a surprise to all of us.
So the house saga continues, I shouldn't say 'saga' that sounds negative, it's the house adventure! So if you'll recall, we found a house that is a wicked good price. Well as it happens, someone put in an offer before us that was accepted. We are now the back up offer. Well what does Law Of Attraction say about this? I mean, I focused, held positive thoughts with as little resistance as possible and it didn't happen (or hasn't happened yet). Know what? I'm trusting that the Universe is working it all out. I don't need to know the details, I just need to have faith that everything is always working out for me whether I know it or not and I'm gonna keep focusing.
Oh, I just had another inspiration pop in my head, I'm going to go to houses in the neighborhoods I like best and leave a note in their mailboxes asking if they are thinking of selling. My skeptic brain which seems to be the healthiest (if not the loudest) part of my brain says "leave a note? What're you stupid? That won't work! That's not how things work, you stupid dumb, stupid, stupid dumb head". Sorry, my skeptic brain isn't very clever when it comes to name calling. I'm slowly starving that part of my brain, so will NOT listen and I WILL leave the notes. I'll let you know how it goes.

I Got The Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down In My Heart, Where? I said, DOWN IN MY HEART! What're you deef?
I got the Joy, Joy, Joy....did you sing that song in Bible School too? Yep, I went to Vacation Bible School when I was a kid. What I remember most about it is that they served cookies with Kool-Aid. The Kool-Aid and cookie combo? Not so delicious. Everyone knows two clashing sweets don't mix. MILK is for cookies, can I get a "What, What!"? The whole thing was bullsh*t! Damnable country hicks, what did they know about dessert combinations, or JESUS for that matter?
Did you know that your parents beat you because they love you? Yep, learned it in Vacation Bible School. So apparently my parents did NOT love me, because they didn't beat my sorry ass. Which frankly, if I was MY parent, I woulda tanned my hide but good as often as possible. "I'm gonna tan your hide!" my dad would warn. but he never did. Then in high school when a tanned hide was cool, it was the baby oil that did the hide tanning my father always threatened. THANKS FOR NOT LOVING ME DAD!
I have no idea where that diatribe came from, but I ain't questioning myself too much these days and so's it's stayin', I'm just sayin'. Don't ya'll love my down-home way of talkin' or writin', as it were? No? Oh, okay. I guess I am feeling pretty joyful today. Last cleaning job and all. I'm so messed up, I keep thinking, how can I get out of going to this job today? Since I've decided to give up the dirty life as a cleaner, each job has seemed more torturous than usual. It's been nice though because every client, when I told them that I would no longer be cleaning for them, pretended to be really sad about it. "What? It took me 10 years to find you!"
Actually as I write this, I'm late for my last appointment. I DON'T WANT TO GO! Poor Mike. What's he gonna do fire me?? HA!!!
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS, YOU TOTALLY WON'T FUCKING BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED! Forgive my shouting at you, but what happened was, I just called Mike to tell him I was leaving now and will be late and he goes, "Oh my gosh, I've been meaning to call you to tell you, you didn't have to come this week because I'm under construction". WHAAAAAT???!!!!!! I'm laughing so hard right now. I'm just so, like, what the fuck!? I'm sorry, I promised myself I wasn't going to swear in my blog, but WHAT THE FUCK, YOU GUYS!? Did I just totally manifest that or what? Yes I did, Dan S.!!! I'm freaking magic! Okay, maybe I"M not magic, but the Universe is.
What you all need to know, if it isn't clear to you, is that I was totally skeptical when I started this YOLJ project. I just wanted an excuse to quit my stupid-ass cleaning job. But, things seem to be happening so fast and furious I can't help but believe that Law Of Attraction is responsible.
There are other really sort of magical things that have been happening that I've haven't shared with you (I'm trying to keep the blog shorter, rather than longer and I'm sorry I used the word "magical", I know, it made me throw up in my mouth a little too). But quickly I'll share that, in conjunction with everything else a new opportunity has presented itself to Chip and I that will pay us a large sum of money in a relatively short period of time. Yes, they call it a "scheme" and yes it's shaped vaguely like a thing in Egypt where they buried Pharaoh's, but we're told we can't lose! Ha, kidding. But, yes it's true that a very interesting investment has appeared to us and we're taking it and I won't bore you with the details but just know that it is something we've wanted for a while and now as of two days ago, the perfect opportunity hasn't presented itself and we're taking it.
If someone ELSE was saying to me all the things I'VE been saying, about all the great things that are manifesting in their life because of LOA blah, blah, blah, I'd be all like, "Whatever, stupid person, it's happening because it's happening, not because of any focusing or joyful living that you're doing. So shut up stupid person, I can't stand you...stupid person". But it's happening to ME and although yes, I am indeed a 'stupid person', I can't deny that the speed in which all this good sh*t is coming my way, coinciding with my YOLJ project is weird and perhaps coincidental but to me it seems LOA is at work. Yikes, I just reread that last sentence and I'm even annoying myself. Sorry skeptics, just know that usually I'm filled with self-doubt, dark thoughts, worry and am prone to mild depression. Take hope in the fact that maybe this joy thang is just temporary and I'll be back to my self-doubting, other people-doubting, negative, worrying self soon enough!
Now off to wine tasting!
