Last night after we’d put Rowan to bed, David and I took a walk around the loop in the hush of gently falling snow. We easily got the 5 inches predicted yesterday afternoon and more fell as we slept; more is still falling today. The evergreens are heavily-laden, the kids come in to switch out for dry gloves, and there is no traffic. Strangely, we are also the only humans we see out as well. Even the children who live across the hill are not out; it’s eerie.

A friend blogged about a movie Oprah highlighted on her show called The Secret. Watching the trailer, I got the impression it was a drama but it hooked our interest every bit as much she described that it could. Very cool it was that it could be bought and watched online! We made it our weekend date movie and settled in with a hot bowl of popcorn.

What is the secret? I won’t post total spoilers but it is amazingly compatible with Living Deliberately, with envisioning and deciding on purpose how to live… one of the quotes I’ve used a lot this year is, “But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people because they think their dreams into reality with eyes wide open.”

If you wonder why some people seems to attract multiples of drama in their life and others seem to sit in a sun ray of blessing, watch it. If you wonder why no matter how hard you try to achieve something, it always seem elusive, watch it. If you wonder why some people seem to be able to decide something and then “make it so”, and you want that, watch it. St. Seraphim’s words are running through my mind today, and this might be a paraphrase: “aquire a spirit of peace and a thousand souls around you shall be saved.” Anyone who wants to make an impact, who wants to change a destructive cycle in thier life into something good, should, in my opinion, give the ideas presented in this “docummercial” some thought.
