Well, The Secret strikes again.  A year ago I was crafting my goals and dreaming my big dreams.  I would watch a couple movies I downloaded from thesecret.tv every day that encouraged me to dream big.  And I dreamed big.  June 2007 was Script Frenzy at Nanowrimo and I took a stab at writing my first screenplay.  I didn't get very far, but I learned a great deal about the process and the format.  And spent some time imagining my thank you speech when accept my Best Original Screenplay Academy Award.  read more »

I was watching a gorilla documentary the other day.  The wrap-up included a comment that a gorilla's success is measured by the number of his offspring who survive.  Really?  I know the world has grown more comfortable with anthropomorphizing apes since Jane Goodall began her Gombe chimpanzee studies, but I thought it a bit much to claim that apes measure their success genetically. 

I know, I was choosing not to understand that the writer meant that humans measure gorilla success by number of offspring.  But I started thinking about success measures and what they mean and who decides what they are.  What if it isn't about the number of offspring a gorilla sires?  What if the number of seeds that successfully take root after being evacuated by a particular gorilla measured his success?  There may be a bachelor out there sitting around all day making far more success than any human would care to measure.    read more »

Just stopping in to say hello.  I found Good Karma last year shortly after I finished reading The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, but there wasn't much action here back then, and way leads onto way...

I want to share my remedy:  If life is knocking you about, try reading The Secret or watching the movie. 

I can attest to the radical difference in a person's life that can follow applying the wisdom found within the book and movie.  I'm almost ashamed to talk about how much better my life was after a year's time. 

My heart goes out to everyone who is living in despair.  I remember when every day was an effort that felt futile.  I knew life was out to get me, and it was too late to expect any more than I currently had in the world.  I could understand that my situation was the result of decisions I made, opportunities I didn't pursue perhaps, but I did not see how I could turn everything around.    read more »
