when you wanna get anywhere... you have to reach out.
so tomorrow, i'm reaching.
i'm taking a meeting with a friend of a friend.
somehow, someway, somewhere this has to help things progress.
i'll let you know how it goes.
yes i am still being pretty cryptic so as not to accidentally say things that could stand in my way.
but i figure for the 2 people that read this blog, you'll probably already know what's going on with me anyway and won't need to ask.

POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING
i had a friend in town this past weekend. on our way to church, in his pimped out caddy rental i told him we would probably have to park far away because we were a bit late... he scoffed and told me that we were going to get really close parking because he had decided it. i totally made fun of him for this and he talked my ear off about how good things will happen to those that believe it. then he turned into the "horse-shoe" (the circular street right outside the church, where there is almost ALWAYS no parking for us late-comers). i was floored when, right in the front of the door to the chapel was a HUGE parking space- with plenty of space for our mother-load of a car.
point taken.
i have been thinking about this a lot and realized something about myself. when i was younger, the world nor anyone that would dare to try could not stop me from being who i wanted to be. i was empowered by my positive thoughts- and good things did come my way- mostly because i decided they would be that way.
then life happened. disappointments happened. people and things let me down and somewhere along the way i became good friends with the cynic monster. not always believing in the good things... not always expecting things to go right-- on the contrary-- knowing they would go wrong... because that's what happens in my world. being the fulfiller of my own negative prophecies of failure.
i have decided it's time to bring back the old peggy that had all the confidence in the world to become anything she wants to be... that has the drive to make it all happen and can use the knowledge gained over those hard years to make the better decisions and focus on the "open parking spot." no more poo pooing my plans- no more second guessing myself- no more negativity!
dude i am so ready for my prime parking spot- i've waited so long for this... it's my turn!

A Little Help From My Friends
i had dinner tonight with a friend of mine who is a very well-known individual. although she has been in the national and international spotlight before, she is the most genuine, kind person you'd meet.
this friend has been so very ready to be a cheerleader for me as i embark on my crazy journey to reach my goals. i can't tell you how grateful i am for her support.
one of the last things she said to me before i left her house was:
"peggy, i can just tell that you will be great at this... you can just tell that you have something in your life that you need to do... it's just such a strong feeling. there's something you were meant to do."
as she said this i was reminded of several blessings i have been given over the past two years of my life. the feeling struck me again and i felt this strange sort of power- like what i am trying to accomplish is actually a reality for me... it's within my grasp... it's real.
is it even possible to be afraid that the things you've always hoped for will actually come true? why would i be afraid of that?
but dudes- i AM going to make this happen. just wait and see.
