Yesterday was an amazing day in NYC - the sun was shining and the weather mild. The temperature got up to an unbelievable 72 degrees! It was wonderful to walk outside without a jacket - in January yet! I can't remember it ever being this warm in the middle of winter. Global warming - Al Gore must be right!

I spent the day with a friend and all of NYC walking through Central Park and enjoying the beautiful day. Everyone was out playing, running, rollerblading, volleyball, soccer and biking. Joy was in the air and everyone was participating . I didn't see a single angry face - unusual for NYC. It was certainly an unexpected day. How often can a New Yorker say they didn't run into an angry person?

Three winters ago was one of the coldest winters ever. It was so cold one week that a few stores in Times Square closed down because they didn't have heat. It was so cold that even with layers, a down coat and head covered, you couldn't spend more than a few minutes outside a a time. I remember my head being so wrapped up with only my eyes uncovered so I could see where I was going. Still, it felt as if my eyeballs would freeze.

Today was a lovely day as well. The temperature dropped down to the 50's so a heavy jacket was not required. I went out again to enjoy the sunshine and walk down Broadway on the Upper West Side. It felt good to get out and walk. I realized that I have not been walking as much as I usually do. With so much time off, instead of increasing my activity, I've been taking it easy - most likely the reason my pants were getting tight. Okay, now that I've acknowledged it, I must add the walking back in to my routine. It's a good thing I love to walk!

On some of my previous posts, I've been going on about the law of attraction and there are no coincidences. The more I talk about this, the more I realize it's true. Everywhere I turn, I am reminded by something I see or read. I bought a book the other day on health and the raw food diet. I mainly picked it up for the recipes (I'm a recipe junkie). I opened the book up and started skipping through the beginning and found myself reading that food carries a vibrational energy that influences how we feel when we consume it. The higher the vibrational energy, the better we feel. OMG - like attracts like even in our diet and food choices.

On my walk- about today, I stopped in to a Barnes & Noble for a pit-stop and then decided to go browse though my favorite section (the new age/inspirational). I'm always looking for something new to expand my mind. On the shelves I saw the "Conversations with God" series. I've never read these books but I've been seeing the author, Neale Donald Walsh, all over the place. I picked up one of the books and flipped open to a page and there it was again; we are all vibrational entities and attract people of the same frequency into our lives. Okay, I get it! I think I'm being told from every angle possible so I won't get discouraged. This is a concept I do believe in and find it reinforced all the time. Over the last several weeks I've had instances with friends bringing up a conversation I had planned to bring up. I'm finding I will finish an activity or have a similar experience a friend did several thousand miles away! Yes, we are all riding on the same frequency.

I will continue to talk about the law of attraction and let you know what comes my way over the next few weeks. Maybe I should start thinking about Hugh Jackman. If you're gonna dream, better dream big, right?

As always,
