Got pain in your life? That began as a thought. Got pleasure? That too began as a thought and
manifested into whatever it is that?s making you happy. Every invention started as a thought; every
good (or bad) deed started as a thought.
Where do thoughts originate? Actually, from immeasurable sources, including from subconscious
programming or magnetically attracting other similar thoughts through the Law of Attraction.
Sometimes a thought will just ?pop into your head,? seemingly from nowhere. That?s what happened
to El l en Wood, our featured columnist, one Tuesday morning
last September, two months before her 82nd birthday.
She was getting a snack in the kitchen while her mind was
chewing on a sentence in the first draft of Volume 3 of The
Secret Method for Growing Younger. Just then an alternate
thought interrupted her with an image of a different book. She
says she clearly saw the title on the cover, Late Bloomers, and a
group of people ? including her ? on the cover wearing
bloomers.
Well, wearing bloomers didn?t work out but a book by a group
of writers sharing their poetry and short stories did work and it
launched July 13. Wood said that even though it seemed to
come out of the blue, she had actually been thinking strongly
for months about a movement that?s happening among
Boomers and it gave her the second part of the title: The
Movement .
?Our Muses are loudly and wildly signaling us to abandon the
couch and TV and innovate, be passionate, love and inspire
others. We?re listening and expressing ourselves with enthusiasm: in art, music, writing, theater, fine
cuisine, volunteer work and other callings,? Wood, editor of the book, said.
?We?re ready to shun the Lesser Gods ? those minor deities who had us primping and scrimping.
We?re perfect as we are and we don?t have a family of mouths to feed.
?It used to be that a Late Bloomer was the odd exception among millions of people in the second
half of their lives. Nowadays it?s the other way around. We are the new Late Bloomers ? in our prime,
all juiced up, asking, ?What do I want to do with the rest of my life? What makes me happy?? ?
This group of eight, ranging in age from 57 to 82 and all living in Taos County, New Mexico, looks
like they know how to have fun! They also know how to craft poetry and stories that will make you
laugh, cry and simply stop and savor beautiful, touching words.
But Late Bloomers: The Movement is more than just a great read. It?s also a call to that deep place
within you where there?s a yearning to express that talent you?ve hidden all these years. Perhaps
their short stories and poems ? some fierce and jolting, some down to earth and funny, and some
alive with quiet elegance ? will inspire you to find and express your own voice, no matter how old
you are.
Think strongly about that ? and see what the Law of Attraction manifests in your life.
This will make a great gift for the NEW Lat e Bl oomers in your life.
