Louise Hay

Tavis Smiley Twittered that he has Louise Hay on his show tonight (Tuesday).  That got me excited since I'm a long-time Hay fan.  My mother first gave me a copy of Louise's tiny book, Heal Your Body, decades ago.  I still have a copy which can often by found on my bedside table.  Louise later wrote You Can Heal Your Lifeo which is still a bestseller.  It incorporated the metaphysical causations and accompanying affirmations of Heal Your Body. I've owned several copies of You Can Heal Your Life and always seem to give them away--in a moment when it seems like someone else needs it more than me.  It's a wonderful book.

So imagine my joy at discovering that there's now a You Can Heal Your Life movie.  Yay!  I had no idea and it's been out about six months.  You can click on that link to watch now for $4.95 or to purchase a DVD.  I think the reason the marketing explosion of all things "The Secret" kind of irked me is because it wasn't new information--just new packaging.  Louise and others before her have been talking about those ideas for decades.

Here's the trailer for the You Can Heal Your Life movie:

In other news...

I've had horrible hay fever.  Louise Hay believe causations for hay fever are:  "Emotional congestion. Fear of the calendar.  A belief in persecution.  Guilt."  Let's see...feeling torn about what to do about my job...worrying over finances and the possibility of being out of a job in a few months...feeling resentful over nasty things coworkers have done to me...feeling bad that I maybe don't want to work at a school anymore.  So I'd say that's a check...check...check...and check.  And the pollen counts aren't helping.  ;)

We had a lovely Easter dinner at my brother's house.  We've had glorious sunny weather, although we're expecting some showers on Wednesday.  Went for a great walk late Monday morning through the nearly-deserted university campus.  I'd like to say I've been plowing through all the spring cleaning I wanted to do, but Monday was a bit of a lost day.  I napped away most of the afternoon in an allergy haze--but I'm feeling better today on that front.

Haven't written any poetry.  In all honesty, I'm just trying to decompress a bit...and let go of the 'shoulds.'

Hope you're enjoying your week.  xoxo
