The Key and the Big Switch-over

Alas, I am going to switch over to this blog and abandon my Myspace one (sniff.) I barely use Myspace anymore so guess it makes sense...

Lately the Universe is trying to tell me something. My friend has a saying that if you don't hear the Universe whispering, then you will definetly hear it scream! (Ok, she actually says "If you don't hear G-d..." But you get the idea.)

Last year I was working at a horrible job. It was terrible, stiffling, and just about squeezed me to death. So one day, I just picked up my things, turned off my computer and walked out. I didn't pass go, didn't collect the 200, nada- didn't even say anything to anyone, just got up and left. Only a bit later when I was home did I realize what I had done. I Chose. In life we have choices, but way the hell too often do we find ourselves in circumstances in which we feel trapped and in which our Big Fabulous Juicy Dream Life seems so out of our grasp.

I want more than anything to host my own Craft Television show. I know I'd be great at it. I have written so many shows that truly are fun, fabulous and unique (I'm now up to 4!) and keep peddling them around town trying to get someone to believe in my concepts as much as me. I'm REALLY pushing one right now. It's such a fantastic idea that if I told you about it, you would totally agree that it is unique, fun, superfragalistic and all that jazz and you would Definetly watch it!

I just had this amazing pitch meeting with my favorite Production Company. They seem to LOVE the idea but TV takes time. Actually it seems, it takes FOREVER. Sometimes I wonder if it will EVER happen. So alas...to the point of my story...

When I was working that awful gig, I used to save my sanity by spending my lunchbreaks at Griffith Park running around the golf course. One day I had this particuarly yucky day and was running out my frustration when I crossed paths with this other jogger. He was walking, looking down like he was looking for something. I stopped and said "Hey, can I help? Are you looking for something?" I knew he was looking for his key as any runner would attest to, losing your keys while running is up there with injury as to what you want to avoid while running.

It indeed was his key so I told him, I'd keep an eye out as I went the other way. I kept looking down for it. I wanted to find this key SO bad. I knew I was going to find the key!

Well, I didn't. I crossed him again and he hadn't found it either. I offerred my cell and my AAA but he already had a phone. For about a month after that when ever I would run there, I would look out for it but never came across it.

So, yesterday my dog and I went to the park and was just finishing up our walk when I looked down and spotted a key. I kept walking and then stopped dead in my tracks, THE KEY! I went back and picked it up. It was just a single simple key- just as he said it was. It appeared all brown and oxidized from age.

The Universe was showing me that if you REALLY believe you will get something. You will. It may take 8 months to find it and chances are it will happen when you least expect it to. But if you fully trust in all your heart that something is meant to be, if you fully Believe and do the work- It will happen.
