word

While I'm not entirely sold on the whole "power of prayer and positivity" idea as it stands alone, I do believe that when we know people are pulling for us, be it through prayer or meditation or positive energy or not sticking dolls that look like us with needles, it helps us be stronger and more determined and more confident and more able.
If we have healthy positive attitudes regarding ourselves and our lives and our tasks, I'm pretty sure that makes it easier to get up in the morning and get the proverbial balls rolling.
I'm one of those "God helps those that helps themselves" girls.

I'm also a staunch supporter of the idea that if we do good things in our community, sometimes good things come back to us in return.  Same goes for individual people.  And dogs and stuff.  If we treat them nice, they are more likely to lick our faces when we need our face licked.  Usually.
I'm a "do unto others" sort of person.  I think it gets us really far in life.

But what I really really really believe in, is nepotism.

A sweet combination of positive whodoo, good karma, and knowing the right people can get you just about anything that needs gotten.

Like getting your kid into a choice kindergarten where you are quite sure that he will be safe and happy and well taken care of from now until we have to go through the Urban School Experience when he goes to high school.

Thank you to all that sent out goodness and light
and told me that no matter what everything would be alright
and especially those who put in a good word to the top brass over there.
You have no idea how much it means to me.

And, breathe.
