Dear Universe...

I'm going to compile every piece of positive-thinking-laws-of-attraction-self-help I have stored in my brain from Norman Vincent Peale to The Secret and throw some ideas out into the Universe. Just in case the Universe would like some great ideas to act upon:

Dear Universe,

It would be really great if you would:

help my friend's unborn twins grow and develop and thrive
help my other friend's cancer stay in remission
help my neighboring town recover from the tornado
help us out of this poor economy
help Mojo to not have migraines
help my Dad remember
give K-Ray inspiration and hope
help me stay balanced, fair, kind, content, honest
help me become giving, unselfish, strong and a better friend/sister/wife/mother/daughter

Oh, and by the way, thanks for:

rain
commerce
Sunflour Bakery
my calendar
dance
Fossil
Kathy
lasers
the lawn mower

Signed,
Me

why can't we all just get along?

This isn't junior high, or high school. It's not even time spent in the sorority. This is adult life, the real deal. We're both grown-ups with kids and husbands and jobs and serious responsibilities. I take what I do in my life very seriously. In my family, my business, with friends and giving back to my community I am as solid as I know how to be. My heart is in the right place, even if you disagree with my personality or methods. You don't like me, but please have the courtesy to keep it to yourself. We do have to work together occasionally and I would like to no longer have to try and explain your behavior toward me to others. We have a personality conflict, that's undoubtedly true. I have kept my end to myself, and I'm asking you to do the same.
