My friend was telling me the other day that she was telling a friend she's doing our Prana Power Yoga teacher training, and the friend said, "You know Taylor Wells, right? What is she like?"
So my friend said I am super nice (she is my friend, after all), and her friend was dubious. "Eh, I dunno," she said, "Something about 'their whole story' seems so Stepford Wife . . . . "
We had a good laugh at THAT one. I've been called many things in this liftetime - he he - but Stepford Wife? Laughing at it, still now.
But then, it occurred to me, this was the second time that this friend had told me that a friend had asked her if I was a Stepford Wife . . . a different friend. Yoga Hippie okay, but Stepford Wife?
Then I realized why.
Law. Of. Attraction.
Lemme explain. The Universe takes what you think about and talk about and delivers it. It doesn't say, "Ooooooh, no, you don't what THAT. I'm gonna send you something else instead." If you say size 8 shoe, that is delivered. The Universe don't say, "Hey, you really should get eight and a half."
So, many years ago in a little town outside of Chicago, a film was made that would become a classic. It was called "The Stepford Wives," and it was filmed in the town next to Lake Bluff, (population 5000), where I grew up. My dad was a struggling playwright and he knew people in "the business," one of whom was Peter Masterson, who starred as the villain of "The Stepford Wives." So there was talk of this film in my home for sure. I even had a playdate or two with Mary Stuart (Masterson).
Fast forward to the late 1990's, and as my first marriage was coming to a close, I was heard many a time saying to my ex-husband (with whom I am now friends), "Hey! I'm not a Stepford Wife and I never will be!"
Ya, I said that, a lot.
So now, in 2016, "Stepford Wife" comes into my life on these occasions - for a reason.
Your thoughts and words are powerful. YOU are powerful. Use that power to create the people, places and things in your life that bring you joy and light.
