From Andrea: Driftwood

I am on an e-mail list that sends out all kinds of entertainment industry stuff (from back in the day when I worked in feature film Visual Effects.) Anyway, one of the announcements I get a lot is that "Dennis Quaid and the Sharks" is playing somewhere in town. When I used to get those particular e-mail announcements, I would roll my eyes, and wonder what the heck Dennis Quaid was doing being in a band, when he is an actor??? But then, suddenly, as soon as I entered the Next Top Author competition, I saw those announcements in a completely new light - as driftwood!

Now, every time I see those particular announcements, I see it as a message from the Universe that says:
"Keep going!"
"Keep putting yourself out there"
"Keep doing what you love just because you love doing it!"
"Don't worry about who likes it and who doesn't - the Universe is a BIG BIG place!"
"Keep doing what gives you joy"
"Keep going, you are on the right track!"
"YOU CAN DO IT!"

If Dennis Quaid can become a rock star, then I can become a successfully published and nationally recognized Law of Attraction author!! ...And, I just got another one of those e-mail announcements today, on the last day of the first round of the book competition, at exactly the same time that I got that great e-mail from Julie saying 364 people had clicked on her Twitter link to vote for me! Kizmit. Better yet, alignment! Ahhhhhh.
