Law & Order

So I've been studying Law. Well, one law in particular - the Law of Attraction. And a couple of days ago, one of my team members said that she decided to test it by attracting a bouquet of flowers to herself. So I thought, "Okay, I can do something like that."

I didn't want to risk flowers - too many of them make me sneeze - but there was something I wanted...and didn't see how I could get. I wanted highlights in my hair, but I didn't have the budget for them. Haircut, check; regular color, check. And in fact I was on my way to the hairdresser to get those things done. But in this wacky economy, the highlights would just have to wait another month or so. Unless I could attract them.

So I placed my Order. And went to the hairdresser...who messed up my color big-time. Way too bright. He threw some goop on it that toned down the neon and I went home semi-satisfied. But the next morning I realized, no I couldn't live with it. I called him and he said, no problem - he would fix it.

He squeezed me in past his regular closing time tonight, put more of the goop on my hair and...no, still too red. "Highlights, you need," he said. (He's German, so he speaks like a character from NYPD Blue - always the verb on the end of the sentence he puts.)

Highlights I needed. Highlights I got. And when he was done, he hugged me and helped me on with my coat. And they were free. Free. Free! Thanks to the Order I placed with the Law.

Can't wait to see what I get next!

"If you want to change your life..."

It was a weekend of learning for me, and perhaps even a few breakthroughs; time will tell. All-day seminars on Saturday (two of my favorite marketing gurus) and Sunday (the inspiring people who lead the company I work with) left me equally exhausted and exhilarated.

And when I woke up Monday morning, I realized that out of all the things I heard in all those hours of sitting in hotel catering chairs, perhaps the most profound was one very simple sentence:

"If you want to change your life, you have to change your life."
