No show, tickets will not be refunded 0

An exciting encounter with someone you admire shows you a favorable direction to take your journey. Act immediately to get this show on the road.

"Journey" has to be the most overused word of the last 10 years. For some reason I blame Oprah, but the cause could be the incredibly uncreative writers of "reality" shows because everyone who gets booted off or rejected or whatever takes their last 60 seconds of TV time to talk about how the "journey" they took on the show has changed their lives.

Blech.

For the record, I am NOT on a journey. I did not have an exciting encounter today, I was not led in any favorable direction, and I'm pretty sure my show is not on the road.

I was hoping for the exciting encounter all day though - who wouldn't? And I would have acted immediately; I had nothing else to do today. I was primed and ready for immediate action. Though perhaps I should have packed.

The voices in your head, whether spirit guides or your own, can be sending you conflicting messages today. It's hard to know exactly what to believe and what to do with so much mental turmoil.

Ah, so much turmoil. I nearly had a panic attack this morning.

If the number of books on the topic is any indication, I'm not the only with negative voices in my head. Oprah has covered the topic ad nauseum. And why do we listen to the negative voices when they are in our head? Had an argument over dinner with Husband who insists that no one is going to give me $200,000 to make a documentary. I was incredibly mad at him for being so unsupportive. I even said that, "You are so unsupportive!" But when it's ME saying it to me, well, I listen and agree.

You're probably wondering what happened to the Eternal Optimist who was blogging here just 48 hours ago. Frankly, so am I. Negative Stacey has beaten her into submission and she is cowering in a corner, holding her dreams tightly lest they be wrenched from her arms and tossed in the garbage.

Negative Stacey reminds me of British Mom. British Mom is just me with a British accent, but Husband and the kids like it and beg me to do it all the time. One night, when I must have been in a cranky mood, the kids begged for British Mom. "She's so much nicer," said Husband. "Really?" I responded in the begged-for accent, "Cuz she thinks you're all quite stupid."

Any change to spare? 6

You'll realize change is definitely in the air when the Pisces Moon challenges your boundaries today.

Change must be in the air. Today I got a call from a casting agency about auditioning for a television pilot.

I know. Seems ridiculous doesn't it? I feel a little old to be "discovered" and I don't live anywhere near L.A., yet here is an opportunity, mine for the taking.

And what was I thinking when I sent in my resume and headshot via internet on Sunday afternoon? Was I thinking that it wasn't real? That there would be no show? That it would be some rinky-dink production? It's none of those things. It's real, it's big, it's .... it's the coolest job opportunity ever!!

When my cell phone rang this afternoon and I didn't recognize the number I let it go to voicemail. (Yes, I'm a screener -sue me). I recognized the Chicago area code, but thought it might be some sort of sales call until the double beep alerted me that a message had been left. Got Son off the bus, into the house and fed, then called voicemail to listen to the message. I have to be honest, while the line was ringing I was actually thinking 'It's Oprah. I wonder what she wants? Maybe someone showed her my book.'

I guess I'm an eternal optimist. It obviously wasn't Oprah. It was a casting agent. But that doesn't mean Oprah won't call ..... some day.
