Different times throughout the process I've felt excited, angry, thrilled, frustrated, scared, lost, found, whole, empty, and just about every other emotion. That's what you feel when you're in the midst of incredible change - incredible growth. It's a ride like the Amazing Race through your own life.
I found myself drawn to familiar things: I've watched MAD MEN (great show by the way) because it reminded me of how I grew up. I remembered those homes, that wallpaper, paneling, old appliances, clothes... I watched BAND OF BROTHERS about WWII because I love history, and because I love the camaraderie... I'm even more attached to my car - I love just sitting in it. I like just seeing my guitar in it's stand. Couldn't WAIT for college football to start!!!
Familiarity.
What's important?
When you don't have familiar things, what do you hold onto? What do you VALUE? You'll find out quickly when you have none of what you know... what brings you COMFORT?
I go back to what I'd written before.
Why am I here?? I'm here because I ASKED for this - I wanted something different. I wanted a change. When I think of it that way, I can't help but laugh! I asked for this.............. God really DOES have a sense of humor.
When things get crazy in your life - even in the day-to-day activities you do - if you find yourself asking "How did I get here?" or "Why is this happening?" or even "Wow, I'm so grateful..." THINK about the things you've SPOKEN: either in prayer, in the midst of frustration. THINK about the things you've WRITTEN: lists you've made, notes you've jotted down about what you want!
If you keep track... If you go back and look... you'll find the VERY things you wrote or spoke may actually BE coming true!
WRITE YOUR VISION -
WRITE YOUR VISION -
You may be surprised to find that you're right in the middle of your own dream!
THINK. WRITE. BELIEVE. ACT.

How cool that the band formed the shape of West Virginia!!
In Mad Men although we have to consider that Don Draper is the protagonist of the story and he is who carries the storyline, the other characters are charming and full of unexpected shades. Each has a defined personality that exemplifies the frustration or the wishes of society in the 60's.
