Not a happy, feel-good book, but very good.
I think your new outlook is wonderful!

I have a scar on my nose that has a LONG history — certainly not as tragic as many but a very painful one, nonetheless. I do believe that I shall look at it a little differently now. Thanks.

I am doing much the same thing with focus. I have a thousand reasons why I can’t have what I want. And I am terribly clear on what I don’t want (notice I said terribly). But I am now trying to really decide what I DO want and believe that life is full of infinite possibilities allowing such a want to become reality.

Much luck and love to you,
Traci

Happy Easter!

I have honestly received everything I have ever asked for – both good and bad. Learning to transform your desires into something positive is tremendous. Congrats

I am so teary:( You might think I just had a baby; I’ve been so emotional. Thank you for your kind comment. I believe that we should all act the part of who we want to be. Focus on what is to come; positive thinking, walking and acting.

It’s a great reminder to know that we are the only ones in our own way.

It is healthy to believe that things are possible. Personally I’m partial to prayer, but whatever works to improve your outlook—go for it.

I fear you are stuck on this cape. I didn’t bring it up. But I agree sometimes we must face our scars.

I love DeNiro, but hate Cape Fear.

Ok twisted sister, “Cape Fear” has nothing to do with your post but “Scarface” does have the word scar in it but no DeNiro (a favorite of mine).

You are so lucky I have a sense of humor, silly! I hated Cape Fear with Robert DeNiro. Hated it! Not sure what that has to do with my post, but now you know.

But then I remember that funny character you have and say screw it.
I thought “Scarface” was a terrible movie.

I will look forward to hearing about all that comes your way from this shift in perception.

The more you live, the more character you build — and scars, both visible and invisible, show the spirit you have. 🙂
