Being On Tour with "Romancing the West!"

I believe in the power of intention and positive thinking. Why? Because I've tested it and it works!!

Just months ago I was enjoying my life as usual, but I was wanting something more. I wanted to travel, I wanted to meet interesting people who are making a difference in the world. So I did what I've done before, I got out my journal and started writing down my intentions.

It worked for me before. This is exactly what I did to draw my perfect love, local violinist "Paul McIntire," into my life. Many people have heard about "the law of attraction" these days. It's no "secret" any more. It's been called "the power of positive thinking" and other such things too.

I start with writing down all the things I'm grateful for, because that creates a sort of "high vibration" in my being. The vibration part is important, because you can take all sorts of "actions" and not invoke a thing. An expectant, happy attitude is what truly magnetizes the good stuff I'm looking for. You have to be consistant, too.

After writing down the many things I'm truly thankful for, I started to write down other things I would like to draw into my experience. They were as I stated above: Interesting people who are movers and shakers in this world, travel, music and art, adventure, camaraderie and excitement! I wanted Paul to be in on this as well.

Within two months Paul was asked to be a part of the "Romancing the West Legacy Tour," a special musical documentary extravaganza that is the brainchild of Christina Duane, a singer/songwriter from Jacksonville, Oregon! She said I could come too! So for the last month, I've been traveling with this fantastic group of people all over Oregon and California! Melanie, who performed at Woodstock, is featured in the show, as is Martin Gerschwitz from Iron Butterfly! I've experienced first-hand the difference between a life of a visual fine artist and an artist of a musical type. The later is a lot more strenuous, but also more exciting.

I was designated the photographer for the group early on. Sometimes there have been four shows on four consecutive nights! The best part of being on tour for me is getting to know all the incredibly cool people. We've shared houses, cooked for each other, and had midnight jam sessions and deep talks. Melanie and Martin are two of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

The Romancing the West Legacy Tour is coming to Orange County on April 27th at the San Juan Capistrano Library! Check out their website at: www.romancingthewest.org for more info and to buy tickets.

And if you've never tried using the "law of attraction," you might want to! We have a lot more power than we think to make things happen! I love this quote from Esther Hicks: "Life is supposed to be fun."
