It helps. I promise. Something else. I 'misread' "going through the motions" as "growing through the motions"..... hmmmmm Hugs from Jacktown (even further down "deepsouth" in Miss'ippi than you!) KK Thanks Buz ~

Something else. I ‘misread’ “going through the motions” as “growing through the motions”…..

In a day where there are so many rags to riches superstar stories of hype out there, you are humbly honest. I respect you immensely for that! And, you struck a chord with me big time. Mid life crisis? Oh yeah... I don't like to talk about mine either, because I ended up doing some real stupid things to my family. Buz, you know about Give Away A Dollar A Day. It came to me because I was down on my knees in the middle of my crisis. It helped me to get back on my feet, and we're doing pretty well again. But that doesn't mean those dark days are gone forever. I was in the pits again last week. It was money again than I was dwelling on (by the way, I don't think it's a sexist viewpoint about being a provider, it's in my DNA as a father and a husband, and when I fall short in that area, I feel basically worthless). I had lost all hope. I felt like all my faith was gone, right out the window. This may sound way too simplistic, but we all saw the movie UP over the weekend (great flick by the way!!!) That movie is so incredibly rich in imagination that it rekindled within me the truth that it is my right to imagine my life the way I want it to be. And I know that a powerful imagine, with a little bit of inspired action mixed in, usually ends up bringing some pretty awesome results! Somehow I think I changed my thinking over the weekend. I gave myself the permission to start believing again. Thank you, Buz, for putting your truth out for us. You inspire me!!! Blessings, Todd Hi Buz,

I appreciate more than you may think your courage in doing this. And I totally understand: sometimes, when we are feeling down and powerless, the simplest technique seems to easy to believe it will work, even if we know it will. It's as if we wanted to see everything worse than it actually is. Can't wait to read your next posts. http://stores.lulu.com/pimmy Hi Buz,
